Democrats Tarred As Spinach Lovers
After months of finessing the English language and
posing somberly in front of news cameras, the
Democratic leadership on Capitol Hill was allowed
a brief moment in which to savor the sweet taste
of victory. A ‘triumph’ for the American people was

War Politics: Why the Democratic Party Leadership
is Right to Play Politics with the War in Iraq

Kerry the clown

Poor John Kerry, or should I spell it “Jon Carry”, as the banner painted by
our mentally challenged troops in Iraq reads, he just loves the taste of his
silver-plated loafers.
The NY Post had a field day with Kerry’s latest blunder. A photo of the

Earmark Reform?

Former Republican All-Star lobbyist Jack Abramoff recently pleaded guilty to paying
bribes to the esteemed pork-addicts in Congress, and Randy “Duke” Cunningham,
Republican of California pleaded guilty to accepting bribes from a military contractor.
