And Take Lindsay Graham With You

As I wrote earlier, Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele should resign. And he needs to take Lindsay Graham (RINO, SC) with him. Lindsay Graham apparently believes the Tea Party won't last and that caving to Democrats on issues such as amnesty for illegals and climate bills based on politicized science is what being a Republican is all about. He should read my article about why the liberal agenda dominates politics. Or maybe he should develop some principles and a spine. Either way, I'm willing to bet the Tea Party will outlast Lindsay.

The Head of the Republican Party Needs to Resign

Michael Steele, Chairmen of the Republican Party, needs to step down. He stuck his foot in his mouth for what seems like the thousandth time calling Afghanistan a war of President Obama's choosing. Now I understand he was trying to criticizes the President's tactic of calling Iraq a war of choice and Afghanistan a war of necessity, but it is still a pretty ignorant statement. I have to agree with Bill Krystol, it is time for him to resign.

Why Does This Not Surprise Me?

Former President William Jefferson Clinton (D. AR) who is probably as liberal as President Obama but was more practical, moving to the center after Republicans retook a majority of the House during his first mid-terms, was speaking today at the funeral of recently deceased Senator Robert Byrd (D. WV). President Clinton justified Byrd's one-time membership in the KKK by blowing it off as "he was just trying to get elected." Seriously. Someone has to explain to me why minorities vote Democrat.

I Think I'll Deem My Taxes Paid

As I noted some time ago, Democratic members of the House have deemed a budget passed for 2011, allowing them to spend for that fiscal year without so much as going on the record and voting. The tactics used by Democrats since the election of President Barack Obama have been beyond despicable. I'll give some credit to the 38 that voted against but if I don't see criticism of the move out of their mouths I would lump them in with the other 210 as a group that should be tried for criminal malfeasance in the operation of their office.

Now the Media Discovers Logic?

The Associated Press is reporting what everyone already knew, but Democrats refused to admit, that ER wait times will skyrocket and overcrowding become even more of a problem under Obamacare. The Hill reports that the sick deemed high-risk may be turned away from care. If you believe for a second that the administration didn't know this and simply bald-faced lied to the American people, you might be a bit overly idealistic.

Prognostication

I was reading through some of my old posts (yes, I'm that self-absorbed) and found that I'm pretty good at this. In fact, I predicted Justice Sotomayor's vote on the recent gun rights case, which she was luckily on the wrong side of. Tell your friends.

Just a Brief Update

You may remember (assuming you have no life) that I've been a bit peeved about the Department of Justice dropping a case that they had already won against the New Black Panthers. Now, a resigned attorney with the department is claiming that the decision was political and that a general directive was issued that if a voting rights victim is white and the defendant black, they were not to prosecute. More as this develops.
