Have you seen where the Dems sent the Ag bill to Bush with 34 pages missing? Seems the bill sent to him was no good. They are scrambling to revote and send the full bill to him. I wonder if any of the Reps will have the balls to sustain his veto this time.

...in one area: foreign policy. I think McCain feels his candidacy is entirely wrapped up on national defense, foreign policy, and Iraq, and I think that he will go after Obama aggressively on those fronts.

"women and minorities hardest hit"

I believe all facts should be fair game for both sides.  I wwant to know about my canditate warts and all and I want the other one to be exposed also.  Exposure to the light is great medicine for the masses.

Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.

McCain has absolutely nothing to gain by trying to gain favor with the media or conform to the media's strict set of rules on how Obama should be treated/coddled. They're going to turn against McCain sooner rather than later, guaranteed (aside from CNN and MS-NBC, which already have).

And we all now know that Obama and company are going to bitch and do the faux-outrage thing no matter what McCain says. We're seeing it already with the "appeasement" and "how dare you talk about my wife" stuff. And if you need any evidence as to how low the bar has been set on what's considered "despicable" and "outrageous", just look at how Bill Clinton - Liberal Icon of all people - was thrown under the bus as a "racist" - without hesitation - by the Obama camp and cohorts in the media back in Iowa when he did nothing more than refer to Obama as a "kid" and his voting record a "fairy tale".

Obama is going to play the "swiftboat / old GOP dirty politics / race-baiting" record all the way to November.

Checking the polar bear population last night I found an increase of about 2/3 from the 1960's to present. Obviously the animal was not placed on an endangered list in light of it's continued growth rate. Maybe this is a back door step to close further drilling attempts in ANWR?

If you mention ANWR it means you don't care about the environment but when congress says ANWR it means you don't care about the gasoline prices

I don't see McCain doing anything to hurt Obama's feelings in the near future. As always, our DC politicians will continue being wimps while talk radio and grassroots education carry the conservative banner for them.

The only way to turn things around is for us to rally behind our common goals and start our own Reagan revolution.

I know that NB must sell ads to keep afloat. It is the American way. (G Gordon calls them crass commerical messages.) Thi morning they ran an ad in the Google Ads for Kay Hagan. She is the Democrat running for US Senate  here in NC against Ms. Dole. She is a tax and spend Dem in the NC General Assembly. It seemed odd to me that a site that pushes conservative values would allow this.

Uh-oh. I smell lawsuit!

Who said Elton John is the "Queen of Rock and Roll"? The real Queen turns 49 today!

Can't the borderline-retarded Democrat(ic)s do anything right?

Maybe the Congress could hear their "sue OPEC" case in this court.

Democrats Unaware of US Warning About Border Violence

(CNSNews.com) - Three Democratic lawmakers who spoke Wednesday about alleged anti-immigrant coverage by conservative media outlets were not aware of a recent State Department travel alert warning Americans about military-like "combat" along the southern U.S. border in Mexico, where Americans are being kidnapped and murdered.

"The situation in northern Mexico remains very fluid; the location and timing of future armed engagements there cannot be predicted," said the State Department alert. "Armed robberies and carjackings, apparently unconnected to the narcotics-related violence, have increased in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez. Dozens of U.S. citizens were kidnapped and/or murdered in Tijuana in 2007."

When asked about the alert after the briefing, Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) told Cybercast News Service: "I haven't heard about the report specifically, but certainly one of the reasons we are looking at the Merida Initiative is to work with Mexico to have them meet their challenges of the drug traffickers and the violence that takes place along our border. It's in our common interest and obviously this is a challenge of security." (The U.S. Merida Initiative provides equipment and training to help Mexican law enforcement confront criminal activity that spills over into the United States.)

The State Department's alert was posted in April and dated as current as of May 21.

Reps. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and Hilda Solis (D-Calif.) both spoke to Cybercast News Service after the briefing and said they had no knowledge of the travel alert but were aware of the volatility along the U.S. southern border.

"I've read different reports of the violence in Mexico, and I am a strong advocate for cracking down on the violence, and I'm very concerned about the murder of women," Solis said. "But I'm more concerned about people having their civil rights violated here."

"I haven't seen the travel alert, but I'm going to take a look at it," Gutierrez said. "But does it surprise me? It doesn't surprise me."

Gutierrez blamed drug use in the United States for some of the violence.

"We are the consumers," he said. "We are the cause."

Speakers at the briefing said that CNN and Fox News Channel should be held accountable for television personalities who have "played major roles in creating this anti-immigrant hysteria," specifically Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck on CNN and Bill O'Reilly on Fox.
