CBS News projects Tester wins Montana

Wed Nov 08, 2006 at 10:09:00 AM PDT

CBS/AP) Democrat Jon Tester will defeat Montana Republican Sen. Conrad Burns, according to a CBS News projection.

But that still did not give them Senate control, which would be established by a battle in Virginia where Democrats held a small lead.

The breakdown for the new Senate stood at Democrats 50, Republicans 49, with Virginia still too close to call. Democratic challenger James Webb maintained a small lead over Republican incumbent James Allen, and a recount was possible.

Vice President Dick Cheney would become a tie-breaker in a 50-50 Senate.

On Tuesday night, a succession of tainted Republicans lost seats as their leaders lost power, a stinging referendum on the ways of Washington. A large majority of voters surveyed across the country said their disgust with corruption influenced their choice. ...

I found a good Clinton video

Sun Sep 05, 2004 at 03:36:32 PM PDT

right here:
http://realserver.cstl.semo.edu/ramgen/Harte/clintonshow.rm

Now I know how to beat Republicans. You just be Bill Clinton. And as long as you can keep your pecker in your pants, nobody can touch you.

This video is a good mix. Here is the description from
http://ustudies.semo.edu/ui320-75/course/videos.asp

Here is a summary of the items you'll see on the Clinton video (which by popular
request is longer than the last video!).

We start with a clip from Clinton's acceptance speech at the 1992 Convention. You'll
hear him talk about the New Democrats.

Then you'll see an excerpt from the Labor Day campaign kick-off speech given in Harry
Truman's hometown of Independence, Missouri.

Following that is a section from the first 1992 debate. Note how Clinton directly
addresses his opponent (Mr. Bush, not President Bush), a classic strategy. (If you're
interested in television debate tactics, I recommend Myles Martel's book on the
subject. He was Reagan's debate coach in 1980.)

Next is a clip from Clinton's address to Congress regarding health care, followed by a
segment from a ceremonial address in observance of D-Day.

Then comes a clip from the 1995 State of Union Address following the loss of Congress
to the Republicans. Do you think Clinton makes the best out of a bad situation? This
section might, by the way, constitute a brief summary of our course!

Then there is a clip from the first inaugural (sorry, it's out of chronological order, but
we almost lost the tape). Next is a clip from Clinton's speech to the Radio-Television
correspondents which shows he is also adept at after-dinner speaking.

We conclude with what, alas, may be among the more memorable of Clinton's
speeches: those dealing with Monica Lewinsky. The first is his TV address following
grand jury testimony and the second is his speech at the annual White House prayer
breakfast.

Even knowing what you now know about Bill Clinton, I think it is still clear that he can
be a rather formidable speaker. Do you agree?

Isn't the Internet great?

Schwarzenegger 'Heart and soul' of america

Mon Aug 30, 2004 at 08:41:53 PM PDT

The Intellignence Wheeling Newspaper
Bush added that his Democratic opponent, John Kerry, thought he could find the heart and soul of America in Hollywood, but Bush said he believes he can "find the heart and soul of America right here in Wheeling, West Virginia."

Tomorrow night the heart and soul of america is going prime time. And he is not from Wheeling WV.

Tue Aug 24, 2004 at 08:50:09 PM PDT

John O'neill:

 a guy who is harassing John Kerry for 35 years. Waited for the right moment to attack him when he won the nomination. You could write about Kerry's service, how he returned from Vietnam and started to protest the war. How Nixon chose John O'Neill to counter Kerry. The Dick Cavett show, the Senate testimony.

Then the book should start writing how the group got formed, the phone calls made by Roy Hoffman, the money trail etc. Then it should describe how the right wing propaganda machine pushed it onto the mainstream. The early Wolf Blitzer/John O'Neill unchallenged interviews, Fox news propaganda squad, talk radio, etc.

Then describe all the lies that the SBVT told. Debunk them. Then show how after they were debunked, the right wing media still peddled the lies.

Probably not much but we need some killer book now like Lies and the lying liars.

Did John Kerry miss 38 of 49 intelligence hearings?

here in the chronicle and in other places

"What America wants is leadership that's ahead of the curve," Kerry told Fox News Sunday. "A lot of it is about two-and-a-half years too late. I mean, where have they been?"

Danny Diaz, spokesman for the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign, accused Kerry of exploiting a serious national security threat for political gain.

"Senator Kerry's self-serving rhetoric seems astonishing coming from someone that missed 38 out of 49 intelligence committee hearings, failing to even show up for the hearing on the National Commission on Terrorism report, which warned about the terrorist threats we now face," Diaz said.

Dallas Fort-Worth Star-Telegram: Fact or Fiction

BOSTON - U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, was in Boston on Thursday as part of the GOP's "truth squad," and he accused Sens. John Kerry and John Edwards of shirking their duties in helping gather U.S. intelligence to fight the war against terrorism.

Sharing a podium with other prominent Republicans, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Cornyn said that Kerry, the Democratic Party's candidate for president, missed 38 of 49 public hearings when he served on the Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence.

McCain was never offered the VP from Kerry

Thu Jul 08, 2004 at 08:24:44 AM PDT

here is the McCain interview with Tony Snow on Fox News

SNOW:  Well, you're absolutely right though, it's going to be fun to see.  Now John Kerry, is it true that John Kerry asked you to be his vice president?

McCAIN:  Uh, no.  No, it was never offered.

SNOW:  It was never offered.  So, it may have been discussed elliptically, but never flat out request.

McCAIN:  Never was an offer, no.

SNOW:  When you had conversations, did you think it was a little weird that he'd be calling you, even in general terms about this sort of thing?

McCAIN:  Well, he and I have been friends for a number of years because of our efforts on POWs and MIAs which was a very hot issue back in the early 90's, a lot of people have forgotten about it, but it was a- and we worked together to try to resolve that issue and I appreciate the work that he did on it.  And, so it's not unusual for us to have conversations.

SNOW:  Right.  But, so- I want to just lay to rest once and for all: never approached you, never hinted that he wanted to talk to you about being vice president.  All that kind of stuff was made up.

McCAIN:  Well, I cannot attest to that.  All I can tell you is my conversations with him were private conversations, but he never offered it.

RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie Statement on ACT Sending Felons Door to Door

Contact: Christine Iverson
202-863-8614

Washington, DC--"It is disturbing that the voter mobilization arm of the Democratic Party is proudly hiring felons convicted of sex offenses, assault and burglary to go house to house and handle sensitive personal information."

"Democrat voters should be leery of opening their doors to political operatives until the Democrats can assure them that a convicted felon won't be on the other side."


Coulter lies about lying while attacking liar!!

Fri Jun 25, 2004 at 03:55:09 PM PDT

BITCH COULTER WEEKLY COLUMN

Since Clinton was impeached, liberals have been trapped in a time warp. They just can't seem to "move on." Books retelling Clinton's side of impeachment -- only since the decadent buffoon left office -- include: Joe Conason's and Gene Lyons' "The Hunting of the President: The Ten-Year Campaign to Destroy Bill and Hillary Clinton (news - web sites)" (endorsed by America's most famous liar!), David Brock's "Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative," Sidney Blumenthal's "The Clinton Wars," Joe Eszterhas' "American Rhapsody," Joe Klein's "The Natural: The Misunderstood Presidency of Bill Clinton," Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites)'s "Living History," and now, the master himself weighs in with "My Life."

As far as I know, conservatives have produced one book touching on Bill Clinton's impeachment in this time: In 2003, National Review's Rich Lowry decided it was finally safe to attack Clinton and thereupon produced the only Regnery book with Bill Clinton's mug on the cover that did not make The New York Times' best-sellers list. That's how obsessed the Clinton-haters are.

ONLY ONE? I'm sure there's more, leme check.....

High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton - by Ann Coulter

I wonder if this is the only lie in the article. And I take it from the article that she doesn't like liars.

Drudge: Clinton blows his top on the beeb!

Wed Jun 23, 2004 at 08:01:15 AM PDT

Here is his "top blowing"

CLINTON:  And, and let me just say this. One of the reasons he got away with it is because people like you only ask people like me the questions.  You gave him a
complete free ride. Any abuse they wanted to do, they indicted all these little people from Arkansas, what did you care about them, they're not famous, who cares that their life were trampled.  Who cares that their children are humiliated.  Who cares if Starr sends FBI agents to their school, and rip them out of their school to humiliate them, and try to force their parents to lie about me.  Who cares if he sends a woman like Susan McDougal in to Hannibal Lector like cell and makes her wear a uniform
worn only by murderers and child molesters. Nobody in your line of work cared a rip about that at the time. Why, because he was helping their story.  

  And that's the difference in me and the people that were after me.  I actually cared about what happened to those people, and I wanted to be President to help those people.  
And that's what the fight was about.  Now that doesn't justify any mistake I made, but look how much time you spent asking me these questions, and this time you've had...   that's cos what you care about, cos that's what you think helps you and helps this interview. I care about what
happened to the people that I fought for.

  And that's why people like you always help the Far Right cos you like to hurt people, and you like to talk about how bad people are and all their personal failings, and (David interjects) and that's why you.  Look, just - you made a decision to allocate your time in a certain
way. You should take responsibility for that. You should say yes, I care much more about this than whether the Bosnian people were saved, and whether he bought a million people home from Kosovo, than whether twenty seven million people had jobs at the end, and whether we moved a hundred times as many people out of poverty as
Regan and Bush. This is what I care about.

  DIMBLEBY:  I will come to those things, and I
don't intend to avoid them and I don't intend to talk endlessly about Monica Lewinsky.

BILL: WHY DON'T YOU BLOW YOUR TOP MORE OFTEN?

When Drudge says that clinton loses his temper, he actualy rips the "liberal media" a new one. He says that the media never talked about the horrible things that Ken Starr did. I loved it. Drudge can say whatever he want's "CLINTON BLOWS HIS TOP ON THE BEEB!!" I wish that Clinton blew his top more often, it was great!!!

Google news biased?

Why when I do a Google news search on Al Gore, do I get results from all the conservative web sites? I want results from news organizations, and a get results from Mens news daily? Why not liberal activist sites? The conservative web sites have got themselves called "news sources" and 'Google news' bought it!
