Wednesday open thread

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on March 21, 2007 at 2:42 pm

FYI, I’ve added a “Breitbart Headlines” news ticker to the lower left column of the blog. I tried to add a news ticker of my own making about a year ago but it didn’t work out (I didn’t like it), but this one comes directly from Breitbart, which carries headlines from most major news outlets (like AP, Reuters, etc), and so far it looks like it updates with up to the minute stories so that’s good. I’m working on reorganizing some of the columns to make them more reader-friendly and less cluttered, so if – over the next few days – you visit the blog and it looks a little disorganized on the left and/or right columns, you know why :)

    Democrats do not want to reduce poverty. That’s the conclusion I take from this research.

    States that spent less reduced poverty more. States that taxed less reduced poverty more.

    States that spent more increased poverty more. States that taxed more increased poverty more.

    Seems clear to me given this evidence that Republicans “care” about reducing poverty and leftist Democrats do not “care”.

    BTW, I do believe most rank and file Democrats are “well-intentioned” but do not see these facts from the legacy drive-by media. Nor do they see the factual rhetoric from their leaders that they’ve voted for. It is the REASON that I was a liberal pre 1991 is because I was duped until that year I visited the library 3 times a week for a year (during my core belief change). The condescencion about how much Republicans do not “care” is why I say the sarcastic things I do.

    Thanks ST.

    Along the lines of tax and spend….
    this article (by By Rep. Scott Garrett (R))
    excerpt:

    If you listened to what Democrat candidates were saying last year, you heard them talk about fiscal responsibility and budget discipline – they talked as if they were conservatives. They won on that message because after 12 years in power, Republicans lost sight of the fact that we are, have been, and should be the party that American taxpayers can trust with their tax dollars. November hurt, but we got the message loud and clear that fiscal conservatives are alive and well across the country. Wednesday will be the day that voters will see that the Democrats never repented of their tax-and-spend ways and that Republicans are ready to reclaim our rightful place as the party of fiscal responsibility.

    ST, we’re used to things looking “a little disorganized on the left”. It’s their nature. :d

    Nice. ‘Tis a bit low on the screen, but it still works.

    Baklava, as long as the RINOs have been purged, we might have gotten lucky. Alas, I fear we have reached the tipping point of the dependents-v-taxed divide.

    LOL, GWR. That’s on their better days, though.

  6. Bak, I linked to that in this post ;)

    Was Valarie covert? By Robert Novak

    excerpt:

    Rep. Diane Watson, Waxman’s fellow Californian, mimicked the chairman’s inquisitorial style. She repeatedly interrupted lawyer Victoria Toensing, the lone rebuttal witness granted the Republicans by Waxman.

    Toensing testified that Plame was not a covert operative as defined by the Intelligence Identities Protection Act (which she had helped draft as a Senate staffer in 1982) if only because she was not stationed overseas for the CIA the past five years. Waxman hectored Toensing, menacingly warning that her sworn testimony would be scrutinized for misstatements.
