In case anyone missed it the Treasury Department today announced that the budget deficit for October shrank to $47.2B from $57.3B a year ago due to strong receipts. The budget deficit for all of fiscal 2005 came in at a $318.5B, down from $412.8B the year before. For you Democrats that means that by giving people back their hard earned money the IRS took in more money then they had before the tax cuts. I know it’s hard to believe and you just don’t have enough fingers and toes to figure out... Read More→

Another Al-Qaeda attack and again in a country other than the US. I don’t want to bite my tongue (I’m knocking on any piece of wood I can find right now) but when is the media, anti-patriot act and just about everyone else going to give President Bush some credit for keeping us safe? It’s been four plus years now since 9/11 and we still have not been attacked. I have to believe it’s not because Al-Qaeda is holding back. From the looks of all their other bombings over the last four years,... Read More→

Charlie Brown Schumer just held a press conference calling on President Bush not to pardon Libby. Hey Chuck where were you when your buddy Hillary’s husband Bubba pardoned pretty much every known felon. Lets take a look back. Some of the more controversial were drug trafficker Carlos Vignali, Susan McDougal and Marc Rich (a man that was listed on the Department of Justice Web Site as an international fugitive). Here’s the full list. ALLEN, VERLA JEAN, ALTIERE, NICHOLAS M., ALTSCHUL, BERNICE... Read More→

I’ve been watching MSNBC all day and I’m starting to get the impression that they would just love to have Democrats win the VA race. You can feel them getting the scripts ready on how there is a backlash in America and Republicans are doomed in 2006. I really hope Kilgore pulls it out and kills their lead story tomorrow.  Read More →

In NJ I think Corzine will win easily. I have family in NJ and I can tell you those people just can’t vote Republican. The old people in the state like my grandmother are still grateful for the New Deal and as she’s told me in the past. “I always voted Democrat, that’s just what we did in my day”. Great granny, keep cashing that SS check. And the rest of the people in that state hate Bush, which means they’ll vote Corzine. In VA it’s going to be close. I think it will... Read More→

Well as I always do on Election Day I went to my local polling station and voted early in the morning before I headed to work. The most shocking thing was that as I checked in at 8:00 am I was the 10th person in my district (58th) to vote. 10th!! An hour and a half into voting and I was only number 10! If what appears to be happening in my station takes place across the rest of the city, Republicans have a good chance of stealing some seats in the council particularly Patrick, Joel and Russo. ... Read More→

This Tuesday will tell allot, as Virginians will be going to the polls to elect a new governor. Considering Virginia is one those clef states where north leans one way and the south the other, we’ll just see how motivated conservatives are to come out and vote.  Read More →

Standing in front of a six-story banner of revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara, Hugo Chavez proclaimed: “Only united can we defeat imperialism and bring our people a better life!” Uh, Hugo isn’t putting your slimy socialist hands all over Cuba and throwing oil money around the rest of Lain America to influence it imperialism also? Doh!  Read More →

Dennis, The problem for the party with the Presidents approval ratings, is that as we seen during the 2000 election, you don’t want to give the hard right (those 5 million evangelical Christians) an excuse to stay home. The reason Bush almost lost to Gore was because those conservatives felt disappointed in government after Clinton and decided not to vote putting a Bush Presidency in jeopardy. The 2004 landslide victory is because we were able to motivate those individuals to vote, mainly based... Read More→

Since New Yorker writer George Packer seems to be having trouble understanding the point of the Iraq War, I thought I would take a moment to help explain. First lets be clear, the Iraq War was not about finding WMD but preventing it. Our current problem with North Korea and Iran and the handcuffs that those countries WMD programs have around our wrists shows the importance of eliminating Saddam before he could join the WMD club. Saddam with his invasion of Iran and Kuwait and financial support... Read More→
