Poll: Rossi (R) Leads Murray (D) In Washington State
Incumbent Senator Patty Murray (D) is trailing challenger Dino Rossi (R) in the race for United States Senate in the deep-blue state of Washington. The latest poll, conducted for KING 5 news, shows Rossi with a seven-point lead: 52-45%. The development is terrible news for Democrats. Washington hasn’t voted for a Republican presidential nominee since [...]
Who’s funding the anti-Scott ads in Florida?
20. August 2010
Rick Scott, who openly helped fund the anti-ObamaCare campaign last year, is running for the Republican nomination for governor in Florida. He also has a somewhat controversial past with the massive Columbia HCA hospital group — a past for which Scott has taken responsibility and apologized. Well, a costly 60-second ad drawing attention to Scott’s [...]
Miss USA, Muslim Herself: Move The Mosque
20. August 2010
Miss USA Rima Fakih, herself a Muslim, believes the Ground Zero mosque should be moved. Rima Fakih: “I totally agree with President Obama with the statement on Constitutional rights of freedom of religion. I also agree that it shouldn’t be so close to the World Trade Center. We should be more concerned with the tragedy [...]
Highest Income Tax States: All Blue
20. August 2010
Via TaxProf, it’s actually nine states and the District of Colombia. But the district gets a vote in the presidential election and liberals want the residents to get their own voting members of Congress. So, for the purpose of income tax levels, Washington is included. 11% of income: Hawaii, Oregon. 10% of income: California (.55%) [...]
New Independent Ad Hits Reid Over ObamaCare
20. August 2010
A new television ad from independent group Crossroads GPS takes on Harry Reid over his support for government-run health care. I’ve included the transcript below: Narrator: ObamaCare is bad for health care in America. And WORSE for Nevada. Because when Senator Harry Reid needed votes to push ObamaCare, he cut sweet deals across the country. [...]
Video: Why Won’t Reid Apologize For Calling Petraeus A Liar?
20. August 2010
Back during the early days of the surge in 2007, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) was having none of this talk of progress. In fact, he declared the war “lost” and insisted that the situation in Iraq couldn’t possibly improve under the surge strategy. But that wasn’t the worst part. Reid, toeing the line [...]
Lincoln: I Totally Opposed Government-Run Health Care Even Thought I Voted For It
20. August 2010
Hey, she’s trying. It’s not easy to overcome a thirty-eight point deficit in the polls. Especially when you’re a tax-and-spend liberal running in Arkansas in an anti-liberal midterm election. So you almost have to expect a little historical revisionism from her campaign. Still, in the interest of accuracy, let’s review: Lincoln was the deciding vote [...]
The Ground Zero Mosque Isn’t A Local Issue
20. August 2010
I’m sick and tired of hearing supporters of the Ground Zero mosque insist that the issue is one of local interest only. After all, they say, what right do people in Kansas have to decide what should be built in New York City. It’s a local issue, we’re told. Except that it’s not a local [...]
Republicans Should Run Carter Ads
20. August 2010
By now it’s pretty clear that Democrats won’t be focusing on the issues or their record in November. Instead, they hope that connecting Republicans to George W. Bush will be sufficient in convincing voters to re-approve their tax-and-spend agenda for another two years. Fair enough. In return, a proposal: Republicans should run ads comparing Democrats [...]
Poll: Fifty-Six Percent Oppose Health Insurance Mandate
20. August 2010
A new poll conducted by CNN/Opinion Research finds that more Americans oppose the unconstitutional health insurance mandate now than did when the legislation originally passed. It’s the latest sign that passing government-run health care was not a politically-beneficial move for already-troubled Democrats. Just forty-four percent support the provision, which unconstitutionally forces Americans to purchase government-approved [...]
