A Democrat breaks with tradition

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 29, 2003 at 6:03 pm » Comments Off

Let us hope there are many, many more like P. Amy MacKinnon:
When I was growing up, the family dinner was a tradition. Above the clatter of plates, my parents discussed the world around us from their perspectives at either end of the great oak table. Together, we’d review the news of the day put into [...]

 

More hypocrisy discovered in the Dean camp

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 28, 2003 at 6:45 pm » Comments Off

I do indeed believe that the media love affair with Howard Dean is over:
Democratic presidential contender Howard Dean has demanded release of secret deliberations of Vice President Dick Cheney’s energy task force. But as Vermont governor, Dean had an energy task force that met in secret and angered state lawmakers.
Dean’s group held one public [...]

 

Nader running again?

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 18, 2003 at 7:18 pm » Comments Off

I am hoping he doesn’t. The last thing we need is, after a W win, for someone to say he wouldn’t have won if it weren’t for Ralph Nader:
Ralph Nader, whose campaign for president in 2000 arguably tilted several close states — and victory — to George W. Bush, is considering another run.
In 2000, [...]

 

Wacko theories about W are stealing the show

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 18, 2003 at 7:12 pm » Comments Off

… and the closer it gets to election time, the wackier they’re going to get. The Washington Times breaks it down for us:
Conspiracy theories continued to sprout among Democrats yesterday in the wake of the capture of Saddam Hussein. Some Democrats expressed alarm that the party was drifting out of the “mainstream.”
Madeleine Albright, [...]

 

The Mac disses Bush to school kids

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 18, 2003 at 7:04 pm » Comments Off

Real smooth, Terry. Real smooth:
Several city officials are furious over the Democratic National Committee chairman’s recent visit to Portsmouth High School, who they feel turned a social studies lesson into a one-sided bashing of President Bush.
After requesting to visit the school, Terry McAuliffe was allowed by Principal Forrest Ransdell to come to teach [...]

 

9th Circus at it again

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 18, 2003 at 6:58 pm » Comments Off

As usual, their ruling does not make any sense:
A federal appeals court ruled Thursday for the first time that prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base (search) in Cuba should have access to lawyers and the American court system.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ (search) 2-1 decision was a rebuke to the Bush Administration.
The [...]

 

Demo Anti-Deanr’s are out in full force

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 18, 2003 at 6:38 pm » Comments Off

Wow – where do I start? Howard Dean is facing a major backlash within his own party. It would seem that even though he’s gotten the endorsement of “Mr. Establishment” himself, Al Gore, he’s still considered an outsider with the Dem candidates, and a few other lefty notables who you’ll read about in [...]

 

France coming around to our side?

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 15, 2003 at 10:50 pm » Comments Off

Hmmmmm … a potentially interesting development:
France said Monday it will work with other nations to cancel billions of dollars in Iraqi debt and that Saddam Hussein’s capture will open the way toward mending relations with Washington.
Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin of France, one of the most persuasive and persistent critics of the U.S. decision [...]

 

Really now?

Saw this headline at the Wall Street Journal Opinion Page:
Saddam used fear to rule Iraq
WOW! Really, now?

 

Media bias: Part 10,247

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 15, 2003 at 10:38 pm » Comments Off

I hate to keep harping on this but I’m going to anyway. The three examples posted below (courtesy of MediaResearch.orgerfect examples of liberal media bias in its most potent form. Honestly, I didn’t think there was a way ANYone could have spun this capture negatively. Guess I just underestimated the media (shame on [...]
