Scandal of the Day

I don't understand why this Jack Abramoff thing is being blown out of proportion. He is a lobbyist. He gave money to politicians for access. That's what lobbyists do. What lobbyists don't usually do is he bilked his own law firm by taking millions from Indian tribes wanting to build casinos and by not delivering promised lobbying. OK, that's his crime. What are the crimes of Republican politicians? To hear the Democrats tell it, this is the next Watergate. Forget for a moment that all their other underhanded schemes to topple this administration have been disasters. Here is a list of Senate Democrats who took money from Abramoff. Does that look like a Republican scandal to you? The only question I have is why does this guy dress like a Gestapo agent? Isn't he in enough trouble? Oh, I have a second question. When are Indians going to stop trusting the government and anyone associated with it? # Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) Received At Least – $22,500 # Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) Received At Least – $6,500 # Senator Joseph Biden (D-DE) Received At Least – $1,250 # Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM) Received At Least – $2,000 # Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) Received At Least – $20,250 # Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) Received At Least – $21,765 # Senator Tom Carper (D-DE) Received At Least – $7,500 # Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) Received At Least – $12,950 # Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) Received At Least – $8,000 # Senator Jon Corzine (D-NJ) Received At Least – $7,500 # Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) Received At Least – $14,792 # Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND) Received At Least – $79,300 # Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) Received At Least – $14,000 # Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) Received At Least – $2,000 # Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) Received At Least – $1,250 # Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) Received At Least – $45,750 # Senator Daniel Inouye (D-HI) Received At Least – $9,000 # Senator Jim Jeffords (I-VT) Received At Least – $2,000 # Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) Received At Least – $14,250 # Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) Received At Least – $3,300 # Senator John Kerry (D-MA) Received At Least – $98,550 # Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) Received At Least – $28,000 # Senator Pat Leahy (D-VT) Received At Least – $4,000 # Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) Received At Least – $6,000 # Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CT) Received At Least – $29,830 # Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) Received At Least – $14,891 # Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) Received At Least – $10,550 # Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) Received At Least – $78,991 # Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) Received At Least – $20,168 # Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE) Received At Least – $5,200 # Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) Received At Least – $7,500 # Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR) Received At Least – $2,300 # Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) Received At Least – $3,500 # Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) Received At Least – $68,941 # Senator John Rockefeller (D-WV) Received At Least – $4,000 # Senator Ken Salazar (D-CO) Received At Least – $4,500 # Senator Paul Sarbanes (D-MD) Received At Least – $4,300 # Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) Received At Least – $29,550 # Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Received At Least – $6,250

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
