Major Garrett of Fox News interviewed Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) today, the minority leader in the senate.  Major asked the senator 'who is the leader of the Democrat Party?'  His answer?   "Someone else will have to make that decision. "  Major then asked, how about on domestic policy, who is the leader?  And to that Reid said "That's really an unfair question."   What?  What kind of answer is that? 

Sounds to me like Dr. Dean, as the Democrat National Committee Chairman, is responsible for the death of the Democrat party like Dr. Kevorkian was for the final demise of his employers.

A big 'see I told you so' from a year ago.

The left is not happy with Senator Barack Obama, based on a rumor that Senator Barack Obama has been opposing a filibuster of Alito inside the Democratic Caucus.  They're not crazy about Hillary either, even though she succumbed to their demands to join their bandwagon to filibuster the Alito vote in the Senate which, BTW was started by the Kennedy twins of Massachusetts.  That would be Sen. Ted Kennedy and Sen. John Kerry, the Kennedy Twins.

BuzzFlash's source for this rumor also correctly informed us that after days of BuzzFlash calling upon Senator John Kerry to live up to his 2003 commitment to lead a filibuster against a candidate with the anti-Constitutional background of Sam Alito that Kerry was now trying to get the caucus to back a filibuster. Indeed, late on Thursday, Kerry's office publicly announced what our source had told us: Kerry would indeed try to filibuster Alito and try to persuade his Democratic colleagues to back him by voting to keep the filibuster alive. He will need 40 other votes.

and

Obama is just as much personna non grata in my political world as is Hillary.

The only democrat so far to say the obvious, if you want to put judges you like on the court, you have to first win elections.  The left just can't believe it.  It's all a trick, they didn't lose 2 elections, they were both stolen from them.  That is their mindset and it's been there since 2000.

Hey Senator Chuck Hagel, try this.  You want an explanation?  Arrange a meeting with the President in person or on the phone.  Show up.  Listen.   Don't make every single aspect of fighting this war an issue for the Sunday morning talk shows.  Act like you're fighting a war against someone who wants to kill you.  Not like a politician enjoying face time on television at the expense of our fighting military.

Gee I hope so.  Cindy Sheehan, grieving mother no more seen here with her new buddy Hugo Chavez, the hemisphere's idiot .  She is said to be strongly considering challenging Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein.  The Democrat's rising star(s) pictured below?

Too many people have forgotten the significance of 9/11/01.  They have yearned for and now want to believe that things are like they were on 9/10/01.    And, given their way, you can count on what happened the next day to happen again.  The pre-9/11 world no longer exists.   The enemy is both within and outside our borders.  Can you say Mexican border?   Debra Burlingame makes the case for the Patriot Act and the NSA issue with democrats.  The very notion that we have a right to security is, correct. 

Our Right to Security. Al Qaeda, not the FBI, is the greater threat to America. [OpinionJournal.com]

Mark Levin on the lobbying boogieman and the hysterical politicians screeching for reform, puts it all in perspective like nobody I've heard on this subject.  There is bipartisanship in this RINO.  Reformer In Name Only

These Pseudo-Reformers Are Getting on My Nerves. Oh please, Newt. You're beginning to sound like McCain, of Keating 5 fame (anyone remember that?). One phony reformer is about all the Republican party can take. Lobbying is not only as old as Congress itself, but it's constitutionally protected.... [And Another Thing . . .]
