If It's Tuesday, It Must Be Politics

Undeserving
The Republican Congress doesn’t deserve to return to power in November. Speaking as someone who for the most part has voted for Republican candidates since the Reagan era, I am extremely disappointed in what they have not done on illegal immigration and energy independence, and in what they have done---the expansion of government programs that has outstripped the worst excesses of the Great Society. The prospect of seeing a Democratic Congress that might enact any number of environmental, economic, and cultural schemes doesn’t seem so bad.

What does worry me is that the Democrats will be so eager to avenge the real and imagined slights inflicted on them by the Bush Administration that we will see a slew of Congressional investigations, indictments, and even a move to impeach the President. The country only has one Executive, and he’s prosecuting a war against people who would joyfully kill themselves to immolate our cities. No amount of dialogue, bribery, and international cooperation seems to dissuade them. I would happily vote for any Democrat who believes that the enemy is Islamofascism, not George W. Bush.

As Thomas Sowell said on the radio several months ago, “the only reason to vote Republican is the Democrats”.

Watch Out, They're Going to Burst
As the Republican Party sinks lower in the polls, the Democrats taste victory in 2006 and 2008. But imagine if they aren’t successful. If you think the Left is angry now, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Bush the Environmentalist
Poor George W. Bush---for years environmentalists have been calling for a gas tax hike of 50 cents or more (when gas was under $2 a gallon) to discourage consumption. Now that market prices have blown through the level that they were talking about, environmentalists should give the President credit for encouraging conservation.
