A few weeks ago I stated in my blog that I was done writing about the Plain Dealers famous Ohio queen Connie Schultz and her liberal agenda. I did not want my site to become the Connie Schultz hate blog, and so I wrote one last article in an attempt to show the danger of her bias liberal writing.On Tuesday March 27th Connie Schultz had a article called “ I can’t be proud of War Advocate”.

Now that Hillary Clinton's running for President, plenty of Republicans will point out her foolishness in matters of national defense. You can bet that she'll respond by complaining that mean conservatives are "questioning her patriotism." Here's an effective graphic that will counter that ploy and remind voters that it's her judgment they should doubt.Feel free to save a copy on your own server

Tooting my own horn a bit here, but over at WMD there are several stories posted today by yours truly that I think Merit the alliance's attention, especially as it relates to Ohio. The first is a story titled "SW Ohio says Bennett Must Go!" based on conversations held at our county's central committee meeting with our state CC rep. Also, there is a grave issue regarding the sanctity of the

In an odd Toledo Blade editorial, I get the distinct impression that they believe that Ted Strickland could push for public financing of abortions.Funny, I don't remember that campaign promise, but since Ted didn't say that he'd interfer with the Death Penalty like it now looks like he will, the abortion debate could get heated again here in the Buckeye state.

From The Columbus Dispatch: Ohio’s closest congressional race is official, but it’s still not over. Republican Deborah Pryce was declared the winner yesterday by 1,054 votes over Democrat Mary Jo Kilroy in central Ohio’s 15th District. With provisional and last-minute absentee ballots added to the totals, the margin narrowed so considerably from unofficial election-night returns that state law

Two days ago, the Los Angeles Times reported that an American airstrike in Ramadi killed 30 Iraqi civilians, including women and children. That's a horrible tale of woe, isn't it? But there's one little detail that's missing from the story: it's a complete fabrication.

First of all, thanks to all who managed to make it. The morning session was pretty much devoted to talking out the last election cycle. Which was fascinating for people who really appreciate a good discussion of the finer points of Ohio politics. That discussion spilled over in to the afternoon session when Matt Naugle arrived...(the video of Matt teeing off a Bob Taft bobblehead is a must-see

From WCPO (ABC-Cincinnati): More Ohioans voted for governor in Tuesday's elections than in any other gubernatorial election in the past, but turnout was still lower than expected. About 3.87 million people cast ballots Tuesday almost a quarter million more than when Republican George Voinovich was elected governor in 1990. And I suppose that explains why turnout was so poor in my neighborhood: KB

UPDATE: Please read this view from the left (especially the comments) and see that we, those who seek to end the silly racial divisions and create a society where race means much less than it does today, also have enemies on the left. In some ways, I think that they may even be stronger than the ones I wrote of in this article. The old men who struggled to save segregation are dying and even

From The Columbus Dispatch:A lawsuit filed in Cuyahoga County last night pushed back the voting deadline in 16 precincts by 90 minutes and helped Franklin County officials get their absentee ballots counted. Still, more than 20,000 absentee and provisional ballots will not be counted until next week and could change the results in some close races, including one for Congress and the Central Ohio

FOX/AP is reporting that Donald Rumsfeld is stepping down as Secretary of Defense.One of the few gentlemen left in Washington, Rumsfeld tried to take on the Dragon of Washington and its defense spending based more upon what congresscritters can "get" for their districts rather than what is needed to defend us from our enemies.

There are 4,000 or so votes seperating them and I suspect that there may be a recount but it is doubtful.It was my understanding that Burns was surrounded in scandal but I am unsure if he is guilty or not. If he was to win in a recount (doubtful), he should step aside if ever found guilty of a major crime.The Democrats are closer to their 51st Seat.

Another fine conservative (Talent of Missouri) has paid the price for moderation in the pursuit of justice.I am going to bed and when I wake up the Democrat Party will control both houses of congress.Tomorrow, the fight for truth, justice and the American way begins anew.

“I’d like to congratulate House Democrats on a hard-fought campaign. We are deeply disappointed in the outcome, but as Republicans we must recommit ourselves to the principles that brought us to the majority and renew our drive for smaller, more efficient, more accountable government. “I’ve said since January during my run for Majority Leader that that we as Republicans must return to the spirit

The future of America answers the call of history (from Right on the Right): America’s Victory ‘08 Tonight, in the midst of Democratic victories which don’t really show the positivism of the Left, but only show the horrible failures of our party, I’m announcing the creation of America’s Victory ‘08. America’s Victory ‘08 will be an organized effort amongst bloggers, registered voters, and

The South Dakota abortion ban has been overturned and the misstep by the pro-life community has temporarily set back the cause.First off, Kennedy is the 5th vote for Roe so the ban was DOA (pun intended) from the start. Secondly, we have yet to convince enough Americans that we much choose life over the "inconvenience" of pregnancy.Abortion will eventually be abolished in America, but now is not

OK, I stole this one from Matt....Bob Ney, Bob Taft, and Bob Bennett have destroyed Ohio as a Red State. Yes, the Petrophiles helped, but I lump them in with Bennett. Bennett must never ever be mentioned again, let his name be stricken from the record. He took what should have, should have even with the problems nationally, and turned it into a catastrophe. He and the ORP was General Custer

FOX just reported that the vote totals were transposed and Allen is actually ahead by a few hundred votes.You know, if Algore had just acted like a man and admitted that he lost, our elections would not be so darned screwy.

Now that that's over, please come home Mr. Ford -- you are just too nice to be a Democrat.

The good people of Michigan (I never thought that I'd type those words) have taken a stand against racial division. The Michigan Civil Rights Initiative has passed.
