Fifty percent of adults would not vote for Clinton

By Kelly McCormack

March 27, 2007

Half of voting-age Americans say they would not vote for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) if she became the Democratic nominee for president in 2008, according to a Harris Interactive poll released Tuesday. More than one in five Democrats that participated in the survey said they would not vote for Clinton. Overall, 36 percent say they would vote for the former first lady and 11 percent are unsure of their top choice. Forty-eight percent of Independent voters also said that they would choose another candidate over Clinton, the poll, which surveyed 2,223 potential voters, states. Fifty-six percent of men said that they would not vote for Clinton, while 45 percent of women said that she would not be their pick. In addition, 69 percent of those 62 and older said that they would not vote for Clinton. Nearly half of the respondents said that they dislike Clinton’s political opinions and Clinton as a person. Fifty-two percent of people also said that “she does not appear to connect with people on a personal level.”

John Edwards Tells Hollywood All Candidates and Wifes Called—Except Bill and Hillary Clinton

At a Hollywood fundraiser Friday night, John Edwards told donors that he and wife Elizabeth heard personally from every candidate and their spouse after their press conference -- except the Clintons. "He said Hillary and Bill didn't call but all the others did with messages of support. He repeated the story to each table," an attendee told me. I'm told that a member of Hillary Clinton's team sent an email afterwards to at least one politico "claiming her staff had been repeatedly trying to make calls to the Edwards but hadn't gotten through." So the politico emailed back the Edwards' home phone number.

British Forces Held By Iran

Updated: 13:28, Friday March 23, 2007

The Government is demanding the "immediate and safe return" of 15 British sailors and Marines seized by Iranian forces.

They were taking part in a routine operation boarding merchant ships in Iraqi territorial waters when they were taken captive by Iranian naval vessels.

Headline
In the proud tradition of Thomas Payne and Martin Luther, today's blogs and even Youtube have taken their place.
The 'media' and liberal politicians say that this "viral" political talk is somehow bad (read; they have lost control of it) This little video is great! It expresses an idea many of us have but would never be said in the main stream media (even on the supposed conservative Fox News)

George Orwell wrote,

“The pamphlet is a one-man show. One has complete freedom of expression, including, if one chooses, the freedom to be scurrilous, abusive, and seditious; or, on the other hand, to be more detailed, serious and ‘high-brow’ than is ever possible in a newspaper or I most kinds of periodicals. At the same time, since the pamphlet is always short and unbound, it can be produced much more quickly than a book, and in principle, at any rate, can reach a bigger public. Above all, the pamphlet does not have to follow any prescribed pattern. It can be in prose or in verse, it can consist largely of maps or statistics or quotations, it can take the form of a story, a fable, a letter, an essay, a dialogue, or a piece of ‘reportage.’ All that is required of it is that it shall be topical, polemical, and short.”

Early Leads in the Nominating Process

With the nominating conventions more than 17 months away, what, if anything, do these early polls mean for would-be nominees? A look back at nearly 50 years of early primary polls suggests that Republican front-runners are often a good bet to capture the nomination, but the picture is more mixed for leading Democrats.

In seven open Republican contests since 1960, the early front-runners held on to win the party nod six times.¹ By contrast, early Democratic poll leaders won four out of eight open contests between 1960 and 2004. In early 2003, Sen. John Kerry was tied with Sen. Joseph Lieberman, but fell behind Gen. Wesley Clark and Vermont Gov. Howard Dean at different times later in the year before eventually getting the final nod from Democrats.

Unfortunately for Republican aspirants in this cycle, no candidate can benefit from the GOP's traditional early leader tenacity for the simple reason that no single frontrunner has been established. Until recently, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani and Sen. John McCain had been running neck-in-neck in Republican horse race polls. Although recent nationwide polls show Giuliani slightly outpacing McCain among likely GOP primary voters, some election watchers are skeptical about Giuliani's chances, given his relatively liberal views on social issues.

On the other hand, the Democratic front-runner, Clinton as of now, need not necessarily be daunted by historical precedent, whatever other challenges she may face in the months to come. At least two of the Democrats who did not win the nomination withdrew from the race for reasons other than lagging support in the polls. One decided against a run (New York Gov. Mario Cuomo in 1992); one withdrew in the face of scandal (Sen. Gary Hart in 1988).

A radically common-sense idea

One Congressman is hoping to blaze a trail back to America's roots -- the U.S. Constitution

By Jeff Emanuel

Last week, as was noted here on RedState at the time, conservative Congressman John Shadegg (R-AZ), as he has every session since the 104^th Congress, introduced his Enumerated Powers Act in the House of Representatives. This legislation would, in his words, "require Members of Congress to include an explicit statement of Constitutional authority into each bill that is introduced.

In other words, he says, "It would hold Congress accountable for its actions."

"The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs
of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivalry
of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition,
and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence
of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and
sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his
government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe
when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in time, to regulate
every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb, including the manner
in which he may seek future admission to paradise." ---Mark
Twain

Their words count.
this is from '89

The Democrats say that the economy is horrible, no one can find jobs, people are miserable and they need the government to do something! (read-raise taxes)


The truth;

Unemployment Rate Drops to 4.5%...

Trade deficit shrinks to $59.1B...

"the most deplorable effect of all is that diminution of attachment and reverence which steals into the hearts of the people, towards a political system which betrays so many marks of infirmity, and disappoints so many of their flattering hopes. No government, any more than an individual, will long be respected without being truly respectable; nor be truly respectable, without possessing a certain portion of order and stability."

James Madison

Hillary is by far the most pandering, fake, phony, unchristian person in the world.
Listen to this and then be honest with yourself.
Does she sound sincere?

Why confront Islamism?

Why confront Islamism? Because if we don't it will continue to get more extreme. This is not Islamophobia, as many Muslims and their apologists protest. A phobia is a baseless irrational fear. Detestation of Islamism, the violent form of Islam, is based on irrefutable facts and it is not only rational, it is ethically imperative.

It is a virtue to take action to oppose the hateful, a vice to ignore it. It is a virtue to hate tyranny, misogyny, discriminations of all sorts, oppression, and all manners of violations of the legitimate rights of individual and peoples. Islamism is a mutation of Islam into a terrible menace. It is religious fascism, a destroyer of liberty and much of what free people cherish. Therefore, it must be confronted.

"His integrity was most pure, his justice the most inflexible
I have ever known, no motives of interest or consanguinity, of
friendship or hatred, being able to bias his decision. He was
indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good, and a great
man."

---Thomas Jefferson about George Washington





















These two quotes from George Washington which best embody his
dedication to liberty and God. The first from his First Inaugural
Address, 30 April 1789, and the second from his Farewell Address,
19 September 1796.

"The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty, and the destiny
of the republican model of government, are justly considered as
deeply, perhaps as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted
to the hands of the American People."

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political
prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In
vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should
labor to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness---these
firmest props of the duties of Men and citizens."

Al Qaeda Chiefs Are Seen to Regain Power




By MARK MAZZETTI and DAVID ROHDE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 — Senior leaders of Al Qaeda operating from Pakistan have re-established significant control over their once-battered worldwide terror network and over the past year have set up a band of training camps in the tribal regions near the Afghan border, according to American intelligence and counterterrorism officials.

American officials said there was mounting evidence that Osama bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, had been steadily building an operations hub in the mountainous Pakistani tribal area of North Waziristan. Until recently, the Bush administration had described Mr. bin Laden and Mr. Zawahri as detached from their followers and cut off from operational control of Al Qaeda.
