the same thing needs to happen: We need Hastert out of any leadership position. Hastert showed himself to be an insufferable, tone-deaf jackass when he howled with Pelosi about the FBI searching Jefferson’s office. He’s been a jackass ever since.

If we lose the House, the situation will take care of itself, and Hastert will be [...]

The latest Battleground Poll is out, and it doesn’t look good for the Democrats. But let’s start by reviewing the last Battleground Poll:

When thinking about politics and government, do you consider yourself to be

Very conservative
21%

I sent this letter today to Dole, Frist, Specter, Santorum, and Ken Mehlman.

Dear Senators Dole, Frist, Santorum and Specter, and Chairman Mehlman:

I thought instead of throwing away your frequent requests for donations and deleting your email requests, I would let you know why I will not contribute to the NRSC, at least until you change [...]

If you’re down from hearing all the Dhimmirat spin about how they’re going to sweep the elections, then go read this at Don Surber. Highlights include

About the same time we moved out here, the state legislature voted themselves a pay raise, and contrary to the state constitution, voted to take it the same year. Voters were already furious because Fast Eddie Rendell had diverted 90% of the gasoline tax away from road construction throughout the state to prop up the failing Philly public transportation system. The pay raise pushed them over the edge

Misha has a good article up about voting strategy, which unlike many I have read, actually makes sense:

If you’re lucky enough to live in a State or a District whose representative is a true conservative, and that goes for all of us who might be that lucky, vote for him or her. DO get out [...]

I know you’ve been holding your breath waiting to hear the Democrats’ election-year platform — I have, certainly. And while they haven’t officially released it, Pelosi gave the CWA a preview:

In a speech to the Communications Workers of America on Tuesday, Pelosi mentioned Democrats’ opposition to outsourcing. She said Democrats will end tax subsidies for companies that [...]

Polls and surveys are pop statistics for a variety of reasons, all of which have to do with the trustworthiness of the poll or survey, and the results.

Polls are likely to reflect skewed samples. A poll conducted, say, by the New York Times usually polls local residents — which skews the poll significantly toward the left. I [...]

Yup, it’s a repost, just because I think we need to hear it again.

One game liberals play is to move the goalposts by changing what words mean. They do this all the time, but those I’m concerned with here are terms that identify where you fall on the political spectrum. With the Democrats shifting further [...]

Idiots like this are the reason we’ll keep winning elections.

Since I’ve already done the-glass-is-half-empty, I thought I’d balance it with something a bit more cheerful.

The leftists are in major melt-down — leftists being the Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, MoveOn and Atrios loons who have been driving the Democratic agenda since before the 2004 elections. From the howling they’re doing now, it looks like one of two [...]

Check out my article about this on Blue State Conservatives. And despite the fact that the “Republican Mainstreet” has taken the Soros contribution off their site, Kokonut Pundits has documented the digital trail.

As we know, liberals love polls, even when they’re irrelevant — such as a President’s approval rating (hint for liberals: only unprincipled executives govern by the polls, you know, like Clinton). But since the Dhimmicrats are always crowing about the polls, let’s see how we can and cannot interpret those polls in the context of our battleground poll data.

I have been largely silent on Miers and the SCOTUS, mostly because there was so much howling. But I am going to break that silence now.

The President of the United States has nominated Harriet Miers to sit on the SCOTUS. He has assured us — and do try to remember, he knows her and we do not — that [...]

There certainly has been a lot of howling and whining lately on the right, some of it pretty nasty. Miers seemed to start it, which in turn has ignited resentment about spending, you name it. Frankly, I’m pretty tired of it, and expected more of the same when I started to read this. Boy, was [...]

I’ve held back my hand on the Miers nomination, because there just isn’t enough information one way or another. However, there has been so much howling on the right, much of it from people I respect, that it’s time to chime in.

I don’t know what kind of justice Miers will be. I do know, however, [...]
