It seems that there is no low that the left wont go to tar the right.  When their huge win in November was not enough, they try to steal another seat in Florida.  But that is small potatoes compared to the latest. It seems one of the biggest kooks in the media, Joy Behar, is now proposing that Tim Johnson's stroke was a plot by the right wing!  Check out the link and listen for yourself.  Not only does she propose it, the mind numbed robots in the audience applaud her for ...

Within the next 10 years, what many conservaives have called for, and most democrats have decried, may come to pass.  A Flat Tax.  And what does congress need to do to make it so?  Nothing. That is right.  If congress does nothing, the effect will be to make all taxpayers making less than a million dollars a year, pay a flat tax.  With no deductions.  Basically the 1040 form will become 3 lines. How you might ask?  Simple.  Within that time frame, al...

So it goes with faux moderate democrats.  Virginia has that kind of surplus.  And what does our illustrious Governor - AKA Ted Matthews - do?  He wants a tax increase!  On top of literally billions of dollars in surplus!  But not just any surplus!  Did he save that money for his friends in Northern VA?  Nope!  he spent it!  On what?  14-30% increases in state budgets of course! (State Employees?  Get real!  They got their 2%). And so...

That is Jimmy and Neville.     Give up?     About 60 years.

One of our fellow bloggers asked the question "Where's the Whining?" in refernce to where was all the whining about the election that had occurred after the 2k, 2k2, and 2k4 elections.  Instead, within a couple of days, most of the close races that had democrats winning, the republicans graciuously conceded without putting up a fight and whining  about life being unfair.  Indeed, the last 2 senate races that got called were eligible for recounts, but neither of the losing senators...

What most of us knew (or strongly suspected), and at least the elected democrats realize, the democrats are not going to cut and run.  Headline: " Democrats Say They Won't Limit Iraq Funding". So while the conservatives that knew November 7th was the death knell of GIs (Right Rush?), the level headed folks among us just smiled!  Knowing that while that was not a campaign promise, it was a bone to their kook wing.  And they just pissed off their kooks. Ya know, maybe the demo...

Well, our new illustrious leaders have not even taken power yet, but they have managed to beat old Ted Matthews (Tim Kaine's) record for broken promises!  This time taking -37 days to break not one, but 2 promises (at least one member has done 2).  The ignoble record holder for breaking 2 promises is none other than Lt. Dan - aka Jim "Don't talk to me!" Webb.  This record is tied by Nancy Pelosi, and soon to be met by others I am sure. First we have Nancy Pelosi who reneged on ...

Our newly selected senator from the not so great state of Virginia, has decided that war is better than peace. At a social at the White house for newly elected 'representatives' (and I use that term lightly), George Bush sought out Jim Webb, the FIRED Sec of the navy (it appears with good reason) during Reagan's administration, to ask about his son. Webb's response?  FO!  Well, he was not that ribald (how I don't know, his social skills are on the level of alley oop).  But the ...

Several of the conservative voices at JU have been making jokes about why the democrats have not made any changes, after winning congress.  Indeed, it has been fun to rail, tongue in cheek, about the lack of action on the democrats part.  Not because they have not done anything (indeed, they have yet to actually gain the power), but to echo the screeds that have long assailed the conservatives over the last 6 years when they tried to do things, but were thwarted by the filibuster. ...

A lot of people think Pennsylvania is the keystone state, and in some respects, it is.  But not this year.  I suspect my affliction is being shared in several other states, notably Missouri, Maryland and Montana (I think the others, Ohio and Tenn are safe one way or the other).  And this year has been impossible! For the last month, we have been averaging about 3 calls A DAY.  On who to vote for!  I have lived in this state for the last 30 years, and I have never...

Ok, this can apply to both parties.  As the Republicans are having a field day with kerry latest trashing of the military (he has a history of it) http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2006/11/02/kerrys_72_army_comments_mirror_latest/ Plus his Senate testimony.  It was a great October surprise.  But He is not running for office this year (although he is an elected official). Now the Democrats are doing it too!  But who are they running against?  Some say Bus...

IN a rather starting revelation, some recently declassified KGB papers show that Ted Kennedy worked to subvert the US Government back in 1980.  For those too young, or poor on math, that was not during the Reagan or Nixon years.  Nope, the president at that time was Jimmy Carter! Now the US (indeed all countries) catch spies all the time.  And for Tom Clancy Fans, who can forget The Cardinal in the Kremlin?  But for a duly elected member of the governing body of the US, on...

The democrats are always crying "october Surprise", yet in the 26 years they have been bleating that, there has been no Republican ones, just a bunch of lame democrat ones.  But this year, we have some late ones.  November surprises!  And where did they come from? Well the best and most deadly is from John Kerry.  Cheney made him do it! (just ask any loon on the left).  Oh, he is bobbing and weaving, and except for some die hard democrats, and loons on the left, no on...

Several pundits on the right have been joking (or perhaps not) of how should the democrats lose, they will yell "Fraud" and "Disenfranchisement".  Basically they will say that the election was stolen.  While not many doubt that is a distinct possibility given their behavior in the 2000 and 2004 elections, at least in those years, they waited to lose to look for the snipes.  Never found, but you cant keep a good conspiracy theory down. Well, I guess this year they are too impati...

There are several great debates going on today, 3 by Brad (most of the posters are anonymous, but most are keeping it civil as well).  Then Moderateman has a good one going that is now starting to digress, and I did not want to drag that one farther off topic responding to one point made, but felt it should be addressed.  It would have been much better in one of Brad's Instapundit articles. Sean Conners made this point: but you are correct in knowing that no democrat has sugges...
