I’ve been having a great time watching the Democrats talk a lot about the fall elections and there is a common theme…they think they are going to win. Not only do they think they are going to win they are predicting a 1994 style landslide!!Here is a short list of reasons why the Democrats will not have a landslide year:Democrats do not have a plan for the war on terror.Democrats are yelling that our troops are spread too thin but the American people know that if Democrats are given control the...

I find it strange that Governor "Bingo" Jim Doyle has declared Racine “Capital for the Day” the same day as our school referendum. Is this just a ploy to energize the liberal base and remind them to vote at the same time or am I just being a little paranoid?Remember if voting for this referendum doesn’t raise our taxes…then voting against it will lower them!!!!!VOTE “N...
The following resolution was adopted by the State Republican Delegation at this years State Convention:WHEREAS, various proposals for light and commuter (METRA)rail systems in the Milwaukee-Kenosha corridor have been made in recent years, almost invariably at frightful cost to the taxpayers; andWHEREAS, Southeastern Wisconsin does not have the density of population necessary for the economical operation of such a system; andWHEREAS, the voters have demonstrated their opposition to light rail in...
Governor Doyle actually signed Senate Bill 286!! His office even released the following…of course it was buried in between 11 other bills.Senate Bill 286 requires school health classes to emphasize that abstinence is the preferred behavior among students and that it is the most effective way to protect against sexually transmitted diseases and unintended pregnancies.Governor Doyle thanked Senators Mary Lazich and Glenn Grothman, as well as Representatives Mark Gundrum and Garey Bies for their...
It looks like the Federal Trade Commission has determined that all the hype from the media about oil companies manipulating prices to gain their record profits is…(are you sitting down?)…FALSE. Here is the press release at Reuters: LINKHere is the release from the FTC: LINKThe FTC did however find 15 counts of what Section 632 calls “price gouging.” “Price Gouging” per Section 632 and this investigation was defined as “any finding that the average price of gasoline available for sale to the public...
This might be taking things a bit too far but if it works...Woman gets "DO NOT RESUSITATE" Tatto...just think she's 80!...
It looks like we are finally headed in the right direction. We may have a national language in the next month…they are going to call it a “common and unifying language” but it will make English OUR language.Harry Reid actually thinks this bill is “racist” but maybe Harry is too worried about offending someone instead of trying to preserve what we have as a country.Here is the article.Here is the bil...
There is a curious aspect to the illegal alien debate that has gone unnoticed for the most part…Why is the Mexican government doing nothing to stem the tide of illegals crossing the border?Lets look at the Mexican economy:They have had modest growth in their GDP averaging 1.8% over the past 4 years.Inflation was average at 4.9% over the past 4 years.Their unemployment rate has been right around 4%.Given that the economics of the country is good and that the population is not skyrocketing (only...
I think this sums it up pretty well. The job the NSA was given…signed into law by Bill Clinton…is to compile which numbers are communicating with which numbers. This way if a tragic event happens it is possible for us to track all the people the ‘bad guy’ was talking with. Didn’t anyone ever wonder how we caught up to Zacarias Moussaou...
I’m not sure but it sounds like Doyle is trying to blame Bush by saying since he took office 12 million illegal aliens have come into this country. Judge for yourself: “It’s clear that President Bush has failed when it comes to securing America’s borders, which is an urgent national concern especially given the threat of terrorism. The Bush Administration has consistently overlooked and underfunded the border patrol, and now our country is paying the consequences.” Jim Doyle May 15, 20...

Work vs. Prison...Just in case you ever get these two environments mixed up, this should make things a little bit clearer. IN PRISON.....you spend the majority of your time in a 10X10 cell. AT WORK.....you spend the majority of your time in an 8X8 cubicle. IN PRISON.....you get three meals a day. AT WORK.....you get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it. IN PRISON.....you get time off for good behavior. AT WORK.....you get more work for good behavior. IN PRISON.....your guard locks and...
Congress really wants to move us away from oil and is working to motivate the private sector into creating the technology to get us out of the oil dependant state we are in.Congress has created the H-Prize (H.R. 5143) similar to the X-prize for first civilian spaceflight this prize will be offered to people or companies that produce Hydrogen technologies.You can win an H-Prize in one of the following categories:advancements in components or systems related to--hydrogen production; hydrogen storage;...
I’m getting sick and tired of hearing the latest polls that say we are unhappy with the President.What can we expect when for weeks we report how bad Bush is doing then at the end of the time period we poll the viewers of the news? My favorite poll is the one that says 13% of the people approve of the way Bush is handling the gas prices!!! WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO DO WITH THE PRICE OF GAS!???!?!?It is time for the President to start talking about how well the economy is doing and do something real...
Last night the State Assembly passed a resolution that would allow the people of Wisconsin to vote on an advisory referendum this fall regarding the death penalty. I’ll speak to this referendum at a later date but for now I’d like to focus on a release from Rep. Towns’ office. In this release he explains why he voted for the advisory referendum stating “I did not feel it was right to deny my constituents the opportunity to weigh in on this topic.” But the fun part is what is next:“Advance polling...
It looks as though the Republicans are going to do the right thing and repeal the Minimum Markup Law for gasoline. (SB 215)For those that may not know what this law is, it was a State mandate that prohibited “loss leaders” and required gas stations to mark up their fuel 9.18% above their cost. Additionally the law required wholesale dealers of motor fuel to mark up their product by 3%. With Governor Doyle crying over oil companies making money will he do the right thing and sign this bill into...
Those hateful words were uttered by Moussaoui as he was lead out of the courtroom… I think the Jury made the right decision and he will get what he deserves in prison. The jurors determined that the role Moussaoui played in 9/11 was limited at best but found that he "knowingly created a grave risk of death" for more people. They also determined that he was not mentally ill…Thank God for a jury pool that was not swayed by the defense!!The AP Sto...
With all the hype made by the media about gas prices and if the oil companies are actually “gouging” us here in the States they have over looked the BIG story. China is growing!!We are not talking about population growth here we are talking about economics people. China is the largest country, in terms of population, in the world. While most of us here in a first world country look to China as a source of cheap labor things are changing fast.China’s growth is a dominant factor to think about when...
Rep. Vos recently pointed out that there is a divide in the party, one in which optimism is losing out to pessimism.Rep. Vos is wrong and may now be facing a conservative primary opponent in the fall elections.It is not pessimism that has fractured the party it is the weak kneed approach that this Republican legislature has taken toward fighting for conservative values. There is a divide in the State GOP that is growing more and more prevalent every year. It is caused by truly conservative people...
Does Tim Robbins actually understand what he is saying? In a recent news conference (article covered here) he stated:"Clinton lied about a blowjob, and got impeached by the media and Congress," Robbins said."(Bush) got us into (the Iraq) war based on lies that he knew were lies. ... His war has recruited more Al-Qaeda members than Osama bin Laden could ever have dreamed for ... yet no one in the media is calling for impeachment," he said.Tim’s first mistake is to defend a person who lied under...
