Howard Dean: The Republican Gift that Keeps on Givin’ - Part III

Howard Dean is even too extreme for Barney Frank. Thanks, again for electing him to chair the DNC.

Harry Reid Should Resign

Harry “Legislation-for-kickbacks-to-my-sons” Reid decided that there should be no limits to character assassination yesterday when he referred to confidential FBI files of judicial nominee Henry Saad.

“Henry Saad would have been filibustered anyway,” Mr. Reid said on the floor yesterday, about the Michigan Appeals Court judge who is nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit. “All you need to do is have a member go upstairs and look at his confidential report from the FBI, and I think we would all agree that there is a problem there,” Mr. Reid continued.

It’s a convenient way to trash Saad’s reputation because he can insinuate evil things in the confidential file and rule prohibit disclosure of such information to the public. So essentially, he can completely make it up and know it can’t be proven or disproven in public.

Michael Bouchard, sheriff of Oakland County in Michigan and a personal friend of Judge Saad, said he is “absolutely” certain that the FBI file doesn’t contain anything damaging. “I think Harry Reid is lying,” he said. “He’s hiding behind something he knows he’ll never be asked to show. Harry Reid is a coward.”

But Standing Rule of the Senate 29, Section 5 may spell bad news for Reid and his underhanded tactics:

“Any Senator, officer, or employee of the Senate who shall disclose the secret or confidential business or proceedings of the Senate, including the business and proceedings of the committees, subcommittees, and offices of the Senate, shall be liable, if a Senator, to suffer expulsion from the body; and if an officer or employee, to dismissal from the service of the Senate, and to punishment for contempt.”

Contact Harry Reid and encourage him to do the right thing and resign today:

528 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, DC 20510
Phone: 202-224-3542
Fax: 202-224-7327
Email

But no need to worry, I’m sure the ACLU will support his resignation because of the invasion of privacy issues. [/sarcasm]

Mexico Contemplates Suing Patrick Haab

Mexican officials are “considering filing a lawsuit against a U.S. Army reservist who detained seven Mexican undocumented migrants illegal aliens at gunpoint in Arizona, a Mexican official said yesterday.”

The lawsuit could argue that reserve Sgt. Patrick Haab engaged in assault or illegal detention of the immigrants or caused them mental anguish, Gutierrez said.

If this suit doesn’t get laughed out of the first court it’s filed in, it will be a travesty. This is the height of frivolous litigation.

Local prosecutors in Arizona refused to bring charges against Haab in the April 10 case, based on a state law that allows a resident to make an arrest when a
felony, including immigrant trafficking, has been committed
.

Imagine the precedent that would be set if lawsuits were allowed to proceed against U.S. citizens properly enforcing the laws of the United States against non-citizens committing crimes. Maybe it’s time we launched a massive class-action against the Mexican government for supporting the illegal migration of its citizens to the U.S.

Stop the insanity.

More Election Fraud Discovered and More Democrat Obstruction to Common Sense Solutions…

Investigators said Tuesday they found clear evidence of fraud in the Nov. 2 election in Milwaukee, including more than 200 cases of felons voting illegally and more than 100 people who voted twice, used fake names or false addresses or voted in the name of a dead person.

We know Democrats want felons to vote and only want to address multiple-voting as long as the votes weren’t for their candidate.

Republicans are backing initiatives to require IDs for voting while Democrats like Wisconsin Democratic Governor Jim Doyle continue to veto and reject such common sense methods to insure election integrity for obvious reasons.

Democratic Suicide

Victor Davis Hanson hits the nail on the head. This article is a must read!

He perfectly addresses Democrats missteps on class warfare, race, Social Security and defense.

He sums it up with:

When we see Democrats speaking and living like normal folks � expressing worry that the United States must return to basic education and values to ensure its shaky preeminence in a cutthroat world, talking of one multiracial society united by a rare exceptional culture of the West rather than a salad bowl of competing races and tribes, and apprising the world that we are principled abroad in our support of democratic nations and quite dangerous when attacked � they will be competitive again.

Since they will not do that, they will keep losing � no matter how much the economy worries, the war frightens, and the elite media scares the American people.

Amen.

DNC Comes Out of the Socialism Closet

As if it were any surprise, DNC Chairman Howard Dean has officially endorsed Socialist Bernie Sanders for the U.S. Senate. Howard Dean, officially setting policy for the DNC says, “A victory for [a Socialist] is a win for Democrats.”

That the DNC was comprised of Socialists was obvious over a year ago. It leaves no question that Healthcare Hillary will be their 2008 Candidate.

The Real Commencement Message at Washington State University

When alleged “Governor” Christine Gregoire spoke at WSU this past weekend, graduates had a message for her and the questionable election that put her in the Governor’s Mansion (Hat tip: Michelle).

The Accounting department had “Accounting” spelled out one letter at a time on their mortarboards. Well as soon as “Governor” Gregoire took the stage they quickly changed one of the c’s to an a and shuffled around their hats. The end result was the phrase “Count Again” spelled out on their mortarboards.

On an ironic note, alleged “Governor” Gregoire “urged graduates to commit to spending time working in their communities and to play an active role in the changes that they would like to see in government and society.”

Looks like they already are.

How Can So Many Elitists Be So Dumb?

Remember back in November when the Elitists were coming up with new and creative ways to respond to the whoopin’ they received in the election? Remember those dentally-challenged British elitists that couldn’t stop patting themselves on the back for this kind of media coverage of our election:

Remember the patronizing way they talked about Americans re-electing a man that supported war with Iraq?

Polls Say Tony Blair Wins 3rd Term

Oops.

Only a Democrat would understand the Hillary Clinton logic that allowing murderers to vote will “restore the integrity of our system and strengthen our democracy.” But considering that 70-85% of those felons would most likely vote Democrat, it’s understandable folks like Clinton and John Kerry would author such a ridiculous bill.

Of course, the ACLU takes this opportunity to jump it with its own brand of idiocy:

Some have described felon disfranchisement as the last vestige of slavery in our country.

Perhaps they’d have a point if the disenfranchisement was about the color of someone’s skin and not the fact that they were CONVICTED OF A FELONY!

It’s amazing how quickly someone will sell out basic common sense in a quest for power and prestige.

Here is the Democrat view of our electoral system in a nutshell:

1. Democrats admit their base isn’t the brightest

2. Democrats need murderers, rapists and child molesters to vote

3. Democrats are eager to have the mentally ill vote

4. Democrats wants children as young as 14 to vote

5. Democrats want illegal aliens to vote

6. Democrats don’t want election laws to apply to them

It’s no wonder they effectively controlled the government for half a century while MSM helped gloss over the issues. It’s also no wonder they’re losing more and more control as the population gains access to more information and sees the truth.

Even the Guardian Wonders if Bush Has Been Right All Along…

The title doesn’t pull any punches: Perhaps the neocons got it right in the Middle East (Hat tip: Captain Ed)

Aside from the jabbing reference to “neocons”, Max Hastings says, “We should not be blinded by liberal prejudice when assessing Bush.”

The greatest danger for those of us who dislike George Bush is that our instincts may tip over into a desire to see his foreign policy objectives fail. No reasonable person can oppose the president’s commitment to Islamic democracy. Most western Bushophobes are motivated not by dissent about objectives, but by a belief that the Washington neocons’ methods are crass, and more likely to escalate a confrontation between the west and Islam than to defuse it.

Such scepticism, however, should not prevent us from stepping back to reassess the progress of the Bush project, and satisfy ourselves that mere prejudice is not blinding us to the possibility that western liberals are wrong; that the Republicans’ grand strategy is getting somewhere.

Wow. Are there some on the Left finally seeing the light?

First there was admitted liberal, Mark Brown saying he might vote Republican in 2008 while asking, “What if Bush has been right about Iraq all along?”

Then Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid admitted current Western liberal thinking was sinking the DNC.

Now The Guardian, the British left-wing newspaper that advocated the assassination of President Bush last Fall has an article postulating that liberals may be wrong and conservatives may be right.

Think the Left has their iPods tuned to R.E.M. right about now?
