51% Want Franken to Drop Out

Al Franken’s tax troubles have harmed his chances for beating Sen. Norm Coleman. A SurveyUSA poll gives Coleman a 10-point lead. What’s more interesting is 51% said Franken should drop out of the race.
Once Franken gets the DFL nomination at his party’s state convention in June his numbers should do up with Democrats rallying around […]

To butcher Shakespeare: Mark Morford doth protest too much. Robert Stacy McCain has plenty of fun with him, and I’m sure Little Miss Attila will swoop in for a comment soon.

Jeremiah Wright’s Rantings

Filed under Politics

While watching the replay of Jeremiah Wright’s speech today I ask myself, “Does this man realize slavery no longer exists in America?” Yeesh, you think he never knew the Civil War was fought.
He spewed multicultural, moral relativism typical of that heard on far-Left university campuses.
What an arrogant man. He actually thinks talking about his anti-American […]

Al Franken Out of Touch on Gas Tax

Al Franken doesn’t think people would notice a 5-10 cent gas tax increase. Talk about being out of touch. Sen. Norm Coleman and a few Minnesotans would disagree.

It’s a good use of web video to make a good point. Taxes are high enough the way they are. The last thing government should do in a […]

Harry Reid Confused by “Voluntary” Tax

The saying goes: “Only two things are certain: death and taxes.” With April 15 upon us in a few weeks it’s hard to believe paying taxes is voluntary. Yet, that’s what Sen. Harry Reid tried to tell Jan Helfeld.
Reid is confused by what he means by “voluntary.” Paying income taxes isn’t voluntary. If we earn […]

Eliot Spitzer’s prostitution problems have dropped out of the news cycle (to be replaced by Geraldine Ferraro and Jerimiah Wright). Will Spitzer be charged with anything? I don’t know. His resignation as New York governor may be enough for prosecutors, but no charges mean Spitzer would have a shot at raising his political career from […]
