This is the question I hear most frequently after telling people Lincoln Chafee needs to be defeated. The question is often asked in various ways. Is Laffey conservative? Can Laffey in Rhode Island? Yes and yes.
Steve Laffey is for the most part a conservative. That is not to say he is as solid as Senator [...]

In today’s Alito vote, Chafee has added another notch in our RINO (Republican in Name Only) board, and now takes the lead with 3.

Axis of Right extends its congratulations to the newest Associate Justice on the Supreme Court, Justice Samuel Alito, by a vote of 58-42. The court now moves further towards the role the constitution intended!

I just couldn’t let this one go. According to Drudge, CNN’s Fay Wray herself, Christiane Amanpour, would rather be in the mass-murdering arms of that big ape, Saddam Hussein, because, were you aware that now it’s a disaster over there? Apparently, her statements went under the radar beause it was reported on, of all places, [...]

Lincoln Chafee has made a career out of infuriating conservatives but Blanton at Red State has a good post on the equally outageous support of this liberal by national Republicans:
“What should be most disturbing for Republicans is that, despite Lincoln proving constantly that he is not a team player, but an indecisive wuss on all [...]

Lincoln Chafee will vote no on the confirmation of Judge Alito. The Axis of Right hereby renews its endorsement of Steve Laffey. My check to the Laffey campaign is in the mail. It is time for Rhode Island Republicans to make it clear to Senator Chafee that he has outlived his uselessness in Washington. [...]

I want to highlight a comment that was left to a previous post I wrote on the American people’s feelings on the NSA wiretaps and a potential war with Iran. The comment was left by a reader from Australia, and is a perfect illustration of the irrational hatred of America by so much of the [...]

Chris Cillizza of the Washington Compost asserts that the upcoming vote on Judge Alito presents a dilemma for Lincoln Chafee. Cillizza correctly points out that opposing Alito will hurt Senator Chafee in the Republican primary. However, Cillizza’s conventional wisdom regarding the general election does not account for political realites in Rhode Island. [...]

Did the BBC simply cut and paste while writing this? Seemingly lending credence to the assertion that liberalism is a mental disorder, the two subject British Liberal Democrats sound an awful lot like two New England liberal Democrats who shall remain nameless. You figure it out.

Mark Kennedy that is. The latest Rasmussen poll shows Republican Mark Kennedy trailing Democrat frontrunner Amy Klobuchar by one point, 43-42. Despite this deficit (within the margin of error), Kennedy is in a good position. Kennedy does not face any serious primary opposition. The Democrats, however, will be slugging it out [...]

This is something you’d expect to see on Saturday Night Live. Janet Reno, at a recent fundraiser, performed onstage singing “Respect”. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction!

Two polls today show some welcome news about the sense of the American public. The first is a poll taken by the New York Times in regards to wiretapping and monitoring of emails, phone calls, etc. The poll found that 53% of the American People approved of the practice against terrorists (the NYTimes called it [...]

Harry Reid demonstrated yet again why liberals and Democrats have been having a hard time over the last 30 years. Reid asserts that George W. Bush is the reason why America’s cities are in such bad shape. Fifty years of liberal social engineering and money dumping has NOTHING to do with it, of [...]

Some of you may be aware of recent stories regarding companies like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft reaching agreements with the Chinese communist government to censor their internet and software content anywhere within the country of China. The U.S. Government is fighting back by bringing in the above-mentioned companies to a conference on the subject, with [...]

Foreign conservatives are often a different breed than the conservatives we know and love here at home. The British conservatives led by David Cameron are a perfect example. Even Jacques Chirac is considered a center-right politician in France. Although usually preferable to their left-wing counterparts, many major conservative parties abroad fall short of conservative ideals. [...]

The idea of persistent vegetative state is slowly being debunked by the continuing story of Haleigh Poutre. A week ago, she was on life support, and the SJC declared that DSS had the power to pull the plug. Then, she started breathing again on her own. Now, she is being moved out of intensive care [...]

In a move sure to increase his chances for nomination among the kook fringe of the Democratic party in 2008, Sen. John Kerry (D-PRMA), along with Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-PRMA), called for a Filibuster on Sam Alito’s nomination. According to news reports, it is unlikely they will sustain it, but I believe it presents a [...]

Mrs. Sal came across a story about a library in Newton where the FBI wanted access to a library computer where a potential terrorist threat was made from. The librarian refused to allow them access because they didn’t have a search warrant. In the words of Mrs. Sal:
Hello??? It was a potential terrorist threat. It’s [...]

Helen Thomas is sad.
She wasn’t called on today.
Everyone else around her was called on today.
She doesn’t understand why Mr. President did not call on her today.
One special person is sad today.
Somewhere a liberal weeps,
Vaining empathy so as not to appear insensitive.

Hamas’ victory is not cool. Palestine is a disjointed state in crisis, less from the Israelis and more from factions within their own sources of power. Check out Sal’s link below for an account of what happened in the election.
In contrast, the nation that Hamas wants to destroy, Israel, tried to and almost [...]

Red State.org is reporting that Senator Robert Byrd (D-KKK-WV) will support the confirmation of Sam Alito. Seems as if Byrd is listening to his constituents for a change. It’s funny how that happens when red state Democrats are up for re-election.
Now that even the former Klansman is on board, I reiterate my question. What are [...]

A major setback in the war on terror occurred today with Hamas being elected as the majority party in the Palestinian Parliament. Hamas is a terrorist organization which is intent on the destruction of Israel. The one problem with introducing democracy in the middle east is that sometimes people make the wrong choices (see U.S. [...]

Drudge dug up this poll from CNN/Gallup that basically states the following points:

51% of America “won’t” vote for “She Who Must Not Be Named”
16% of America said that they definitely will vote for “She Who Must Not Be Named”
32% are “meh” on the whole thing at present

The good thing is, of course, is that she [...]
