Steyn On Target Again

24 October, 2004 (14:16) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Steyn begins: :::::::: Maybe I’m getting old. I’ve been covering politics for 53 years, and that’s just since John Kerry’s convention speech. I’m sick of this election, even before the Democratic Party’s chad-diviners have managed to extend it to mid-December. These are serious times and the senator is not a serious man. And so we [...]

Ohio Balloting Rule Reversed

23 October, 2004 (22:24) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

A federal judge has reversed a ruling made earlier this month in Ohio which had said that the State’s requirement that voters vote in the precinct they’re registered in was too restrictive. The US 6th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the ruling from U.S. District Judge James Carr made 14 October which has had the [...]

UK’s Guardian Wants An Assassination (Update: Guardian pulls story)

23 October, 2004 (15:14) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

No, I’m not kidding. (See original story as posted here.) Guardian columnist Charlie Brooker is praying for President Bush to lose. No surprise there. And while I’m convinced certain members of the DNC are thinking it, none of them have voiced prayers like this: :::::::: On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, [...]

Democrats’ Tactic: Shout To Obscure The Truth

23 October, 2004 (11:17) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Democratic operative Lawrence O’Donnell’s disgusting performance on MSBNC should, frankly, show anyone with even a semi-open mind everything they need to know about the ethics and character of the modern Democratic party. Appearing across from Swift Boat Vet John O’Neill, he refuses to allow O’Neill to be heard when O’Neill was trying to answer a [...]

Guardian’s Election-Influencing Campaign Backfires, Is Cancelled

22 October, 2004 (16:16) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Those of you unfamiliar with it might be a bit surprised that a British newspaper, the Guardian, was handing out names and addresses for voters in Clark County, Ohio for the purposes of getting their readers to write letters urging Ohioans to vote against George Bush. Well, the program’s been cancelled after the scheme backfired [...]

They’re turning on each other: Soros rips Moore

22 October, 2004 (15:57) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

Hat tip to Right Voices for point out the story about billionaire George Soros waxing less-than-appreciative of propagandist Michael Moore. Seems that Soros, the billionaire who has stated his mission in life these days is the defeat of George Bush in the 2004 elections (and has put up millions of dollars working for that end), [...]

Excuse me?

21 October, 2004 (07:48) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

The article in the New Yorker deals with the shadow alliance of wealthy folks who have gotten together with the express purpose of using their vast fortunes to engineer the defeat of a sitting President. That’s bad enough and certainly deserves some media attention. I think if some of my more left-leaning (dare I say [...]

This just in: ::::::: WASHINGTON – Teresa Heinz Kerry says she doesn’t know if first lady Laura Bush has ever had “a real job” and suggests their different experiences help make them different people. Laura Bush taught in public schools in Texas from 1968 to 1977, the year she married George W. Bush. ::::::: Being [...]

NYT Krugman Repeats Kerry Draft Scare Script (Updated!)

19 October, 2004 (13:39) | Uncategorized | By: ricjames

You’ll never go wrong betting that Paul Krugman will support any story that’s critical of President Bush. In spite of the well-known statements to the contrary by everyone in a position to make it so, he gets out there and trumpets the latest Kerry talking point that President Bush will re-instate the draft. Let’s examine [...]
