Townhall.com The Blogspot for Political, Conservative and Republican Blogs and Bloggers

I find that often times political cartoons can express a sentiment just as strongly as words do, and occasionally I post them here for you to see. 

If a picture is worth a thousand words, this is worth at least 50 billion more…

Most Grating Intonation-Control Problem:

Does Hillary Clinton ever know her mike is on or has some clever double-agent infiltrated and convinced her that the American voter equates diaphragm strength with national security credibility, so she must project her way to the presidency with a little Tippecanoe-and-Tyler-Too mike-less nostalgia? We all understand that she can only communicate in one tone, but must it be so loud?

AMERICA'S MOST WATCHED!
and according to leading Harvard Researchers - more now than ever:
AMERICA'S MOST FAIR AND BALANCED!

Oh man this is gonna hurt every liberal whack pundit on the planet:

The programming studied on Fox News offered a somewhat more positive picture of Republicans and more negative one of Democrats compared with other media outlets. Fox News stories about a Republican candidate were most likely to be neutral (47%), with the remainder more positive than negative (32% vs. 21% negative). The bulk of that positive coverage went to Giuliani (44% positive), while McCain still suffered from unflattering coverage (20% positive vs. 35% negative).

When it came to Democratic candidates, the picture was more negative. Again, neutral stories had a slight edge (39%), followed by 37% negative and 24% positive. And, in marked contrast from the rest of the media, coverage of Obama was twice as negative as positive: 32% negative vs. 16% positive and 52% neutral.

But any sense here that the news channel was uniformly positive about Republicans or negative about Democrats is not manifest in the data.

A rather not-so-bright reader to TownHall left this message on my post regarding - of all things a call to prayer for the victims of the California fires:

Let's see if FEMA can get this one right.

Oh, wait -- I forgot: popular Republican governor and the fires include Orange County. Not a problem!

But hold on a sec... Of course Republicans will get it right in California but not for the reasons the dim bulb above claimed.

Allow me to demonstrate:

It was the DEMOCRAT Mayor of New Orleans who left the 2000 school buses locked up - when the Louisiana Law REQUIRES him to utilize ALL public vehicles for evacuation - up to 48 hours in advance of the Hurricane hitting land. (If memory serves me correctly there were roughly 1500 deaths... Hmmm - 2000 school buses - 1500 deaths...)

AND

It was the DEMOCRAT Governor of Louisiana - that repeatedly told Washington DC (according to her OWN e-mails) to "back off" that they "had it under control" and that they "needed no help."

Of course eventually the feds HAD to override her authority because she was a dufus compared to the criminally corrupt moron that was the mayor...

OH and by the way... the video tape feed of Bush meeting with the Governor and the Mayor repeatedly - starting more than three days out from the hit will also document their incompetence. And the aftermath scandals of Mayor Nagin's goons selling the relief supplies with jacked-up black market style tactics out of their personal garages demonstrate their morally vapid souls.

It also demonstrated that the only failure the federal government really had in the matter was not kicking out the teeth of Mayor Nagin and Governor Bimbo and taking over the job from day 1.

"But you stupid voters - I'm the GOVERNOR!"

The new polling numbers are out across the Empire State and our Governor Spitzer seems to be LOSING ground as to whether he can convince them that creating fake IDs for illegal aliens in New York will really make the state safer. On the streets today in the New York Post:

October 16, 2007 -- The latest numbers are out on public support for Gov. Spitzer's executive order allowing illegal aliens to ob tain New York state drivers' licenses.

Read 'em and weep, Eliot.

In a Siena College poll released yesterday, 72 percent of New Yorkers oppose the gov's license plan - while only 22 percent support it.

Opposition to Spitzer's plan runs across the board: Even 52 percent of his fellow Democrats think he's wrong.

To underscore that fact, Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco yesterday released a list of 34 Democrats among 200 public officials opposed to the plan - including a former mayor of New York, a county executive, two members of Congress, seven members of the state Legislature and 17 county legislators.

In other words, it's hardly just the "rabid right" that opposes this lunacy, as Spitzer so intemperately claimed last week.

Indeed, a full 64 percent of those polled by Siena agree that the Spitzer proposal would create a national-security risk.

And by a 66-25 percent margin, New Yorkers aren't buying the governor's rationale for the plan: that it would lower insurance rates by reducing the number of unlicensed drivers.

Any way you look at it, those numbers add up to a political disaster for Eliot Spitzer.

The same poll shows his personal approval rating - which stood at an astounding 75 percent when he took office last January - has now dipped sharply, to 54 percent.

And what do New Yorkers think of Spitzer's actual job performance?

For the first time, a clear majority - 55 percent - rated it as poor or just fair. At the start of the year, less than one in five felt that way.

My column on the confession of a major GLBT activist to the truth that sexual behavior is always a consensual choice has brought the critics out of the woodwork of the blogosphere. They're claims are 1.)That I distorted Sklar's actual comments, 2.) That I misappropriated them to apply them to people they don't belong to, 3.) That in speaking this way I am encouraging aggression towards gays. Do you agree? 800.345.WMCA.

My take on the latest... 
- Sixth Newark triple homicide arrest is a Honduran whose status is... UNKNOWN?
- Bogota New Jersey GOP candidates plead with Mayor to reject federal program to deputize local police for immigration enforcement issues...
- The virus that DOES make you fat... antidote please!

Michelle Obama says (directed at Hillary): "One of the most important things that we need to know about the next President of the United States is, is he somebody that shares our values? Is he somebody that respects family? Is a good and decent person? So our view was that, if you can't run your own house, you certainly can't run the White House. So, so we've adjusted our schedules to make sure that our girls are first..." Is "running your house" something you measure your candidates for President by? Should it be? 800.345.WMCA.
