Once again we have a Democratic Press Release that politicizes a terrible event, ignores the facts (Congressman resigned & Republicans call for investigation of illegal acts), and ignores their own track record!

You can read their release here.

Here is what I believe it should say.

Racine Wisconsin – Revelations continue to surface that Democratic leaders, including Democrat House Leader Nancy Pelosi, have known for months about the Jefferson scandal, yet chose to ignore it.

Today, while the FBI continue to search records relating to an investigation which alleges that Congressman Jefferson (D-LA) took money to help a firm called iGate win contracts with an Africa, Pelosi and other Democratic Leaders opt to turn a blind eye to illegal activities of “one of their own” and instead charge the Republican Leadership of failing to investigate a Congressman who has in recent days resigned in disgrace for activities that are abhorrent to most of America.

“Congressman Foley acted disgracefully and I am glad to see that the Republican Leadership is pursuing an investigation into his acts but I am troubled that Democrats are casting stones all the while protecting and endorsing Congressman Jefferson who according to an FBI investigation accepted bribes,” said Gopfolk, a blogger in Wisconsin.

The People of Wisconsin today called on Congressman Obey, Moore, Baldwin, and Petri to join the voices around the country who have demanded that Pelosi resign her leadership post.

“Nancy Pelosi chose to protect Democrats because of their minority role in the House instead of protecting the values of Congress and the Government of the United States,” said Gopfolk. “It is appalling that Pelosi and other House minority leaders would choose to ignore this scandal to protect their own. Congressman Obey, Moore, Baldwin, and Petri should buck party leaders for once and call for Nancy Pelosi’s immediate resignation.”

Finally beat the old record set January 14th 2000!

Congressman Mark Green, Candidate for Governor, put out a press release today, Higher Education Day, touting his “Wisconsin First” plan for the UW system.

On Higher Education Day, Green Again Calls for “Wisconsin First” Plan at UW

Here is a portion of the release:

(In) a recent analysis of UW-Madison’s admissions process that found that the percentage of UW-Madison freshmen from Wisconsin has dropped from 65 percent to 59 percent, while the percentage of non-resident freshmen has risen from 21.5 percent to 25.9 percent. The analysis goes on to point out that UW-Madison freshmen from Wisconsin had an average high school rank at the 91st percentile and an average GPA of 3.8, while non-resident UW-Madison freshmen had an average high school rank at the 87th percentile and an average GPA of 3.5.

“UW administrators are picking out-of-state students with lower grades than Wisconsin kids to attend the UW. That should never happen,” said Green. “As I travel our state, I have heard from far too many parents that their son or daughter is not getting into the UW school of their choice, even though their grades and ACT scores are very good. I’ll put Wisconsin’s young people at the front of the line.”

Not to be out done Governor Jim Doyle also put out a press release on Higher Education Day and he chose to attack Congressman Green’s plan.

On Higher Education Day, Congressman Green Again Calls for $100 Million Cut to UW System

Here is a portion of the release:

Today, on what Governor Jim Doyle has proclaimed “Higher Education Day” in the state of Wisconsin, Congressman Mark Green again called for a higher education plan that would cut the University of Wisconsin System by at least $100 million and continue to put college education out of reach for thousands of Wisconsin families.

So lets just get to the heart of the issue here…under the current Governor there are fewer qualified Wisconsin students getting into the UW system. Governor Doyle thinks that is OK because to allow these students in versus out of state students would be a difference of $100 million.

I guess that the almighty dollar is more important to “Diamond” Jim Doyle than educating the children of this state.

How many of us have said that our elected officials are nothing but a bunch of clowns?

Doubt that he’ll win but who knows.

"This year's extreme loss of ozone can be explained by the temperatures above Antarctica reaching the lowest recorded in the area since 1979," European Space Agency Atmospheric Engineer Claus Zehner said.

I thought that Algore said we were experiencing the highest temperatures ever and that the ice caps are melting?

Last weeks country was: Greenland!


Here is this weeks country:



Good luck!!

11,722 is a number that the stock market has only seen once as a closing number and that was back in January of 2000. We have come close in recent days but can not seem to muster the strength to get past it. One begins to wonder if this barrier is nothing but a psychological one.

Since 2000 we have seen our world change before our eyes.

We saw a weakening economy in 2000. The tech bubble burst in 2000-2001. Scandals plague top companies like Worldcom, Enron, and Tyco. The change in how business report to their share holders.

Then 9/11.

We faced a recession on top of the terrorist attacks. Republicans swiftly passed across the board income tax cuts, elimination of the marriage tax penalty, and a phase out of the estate tax. We saw unemployment rates reach levels that hadn’t been seen in decades. Government spending at unprecedented levels. Oil prices, and by default gas prices, at all time highs here at home.

All of this has happened in just 6 short years. America did not fall but we did take a step back. Our economy has gained its momentum back. Now we are growing again but the market seems stalled at the precipice…do we take that next step?

America is resilient. Our markets are strong. We are back.

But can we over come the mental barrier and bust through 11,722?

I think we will find out by the end of the month…if not the end of the week.

The media and political pundits have had a field day over the classified memo that was leaked the other day. Their reasons are obvious; they hate that we are in Iraq. So they have clung on to that one sentence and, just like President Bush’s 16 little words, it will be proven in the end to be only half of the story.

Here is the sentence that has all of the anti-war nuts in a frenzy:

The Iraq conflict has become the “cause celebre” for jihadists, breeding a deep resentment of US involvement in the Muslim world and cultivating supporters forthe global jihadist movement.

That sentence alone could be damaging to our efforts to root out the terrorists throughout the world because in effect it states that by our own actions we are encouraging the behavior we are trying to stop.

But you have to remember the people that analyze this type of stuff don’t just stop at the simple answer they probe deeper…our reporters and Democrats stop when they see what they want.

The very next sentence…not the next paragraph but the next sentence states:

Should jihadists leaving Iraq perceive themselves, and be perceived, to have failed, we judge fewer fighters will be inspired to carry on the fight.

While I do not believe the President should declassify memos to prove the media right or wrong, I think that this was the right move. People need to understand that our fight with terrorism is not over until these people are more than demoralized; it ends when they are dead.

Here is more of the declassified memo that defends the “staying the course” strategy:

Al-Qa’ida, now merged with Abu Mus’ab al-Zarqawi’s network, is exploiting the situation in Iraq to attract new recruits and donors and to maintain its leadership role.

• The loss of key leaders, particularly Usama Bin Ladin, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and al-Zarqawi, in rapid succession, probably would cause the group to fracture into smaller groups. Although like-minded individuals would endeavor to carry on the mission, the loss of these key leaders would exacerbate strains and disagreements. We assess that the resulting splinter groups would, at least for a time, pose a less serious threat to US interests than does al-Qa’ida.
• Should al-Zarqawi continue to evade capture and scale back attacks against
  Muslims, we assess he could broaden his popular appeal and present a global threat.
• The increased role of Iraqis in managing the operations of al-Qa’ida in Iraq might lead veteran foreign jihadists to focus their efforts on external operations.

A number States have enacted parental notification laws for abortions preformed on minors. As with any law people find ways around them. In this case, since not all states have parental notification, some minors will cross state lines and have abortions preformed in states without notification.

Senate Bill 403 would make it a crime for someone to transport a minor over state lines to “abridge the right of the parent under the law.” Additionally this bill would make it a crime for a Doctor to perform an abortion on a minor from a state with parental notification without proper notification.

In what I would consider a stunningly big mistake 153 congressmen decided that interstate trafficking of minors for the purpose of obtaining abortions without parental consent is OK!

The 4 Democratic congressmen from Wisconsin (Baldwin, Moore, Obey, & Petri) all feel that parent’s rights are nullified when it comes to the right of a minor to seek an abortion.

So why is the supposed “leaking” of a name of an agent, which was not in harms way, a bad thing and leaking classified intelligence reports ok?

Where is the media’s outrage that people are not being charged for leaking National Intelligence Estimates?

Will the media call for the termination of the person or persons that leaked this information the same way the demanded Bush fire Rove when they thought he had leaked the information on Valerie Plame?

My guess is no.


Great article relating to this:

Secrets for Sale – Cheap
By Ralph Peters

Here is a list of recent “news” reports that I just could not care about:

Tall Women More Likely to Have Twins

Settlement reached on Dr. Phil diet plan

Artwork said to be done by Hitler sold

Paris Hilton charged with DUI in Calif.

This November we here in Wisconsin will face 2 referendums, one is advisory only while the other will amend the State constitution.

I thought that I’d post the wording here so that we can discuss this in the near future.

The Marriage Amendment will amend the state of Wisconsin’s constitution:

Shall section 12 of article XIII of the constitution be created to provide that only marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state and that a legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized in this state?

The Death Penalty has been banned in Wisconsin since 1853…this is an advisory referendum only, which means that even if the state approves or denies this 100% the legislature can act as they see fit.

Should the death penalty be enacted in the State of Wisconsin for cases involving a person who is convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, if the conviction is supported by DNA evidence?

You can post what you want on these…I’ll express my opinion later.

This is a great opinion piece by Deroy Murdock:

Throwing olive branches at Islamofascists is beyond futile. This is the war on terror, not the Summer Olympics on terror. If America won't fight this like a war — and win — we might as well cut our losses, hand out the Qurans, and start the mass conversions.

Here is an opinion piece by Ann Coulter: Are Videotaped Beheadings Covered by Geneva?

She takes aim at McCain and crew as well as the Democratic Party since they wish to baby the enemy that isn’t even willing to fight a proper war. She points out that maybe we should throw away the Geneva Convention and “adopt Sharia law.”

Why is everyone upset with us and not those people…they are the ones torturing people that don’t conform?

H.R. 4844

Our Wisconsin Delegation broke down like this:

4-4 right on party lines!

I guess it is true; most Democrats just don’t want clean elections.

The roll call.

No surprises here Congressman Gwen Moore has entrenched herself in the FAR LEFT wing of the Democratic party hoping that illegal voting for Democrats will keep her in office.

You all know Gwen Moore she is the mother of the son who was a willing participant in the biggest attempt at voter intimidation in Wisconsin’s recent history. Unlike the Democratic Party I understand the word disenfranchisement and voter ID does not fit the bill. Disenfranchise means to deprive of a franchise, of a legal right, or of some privilege or immunity…requiring ID DOES not deprive someone of a right but preserves the rights of those that vote!!!

Congressman Moore is upset by H.R. 4844 which would require people to prove who they say they are. Somehow she feels that this would dissuade people from voting…and in a true Lefty style she claims fear that the “elderly, disabled, poor, students, and ethnic minorities” would be unlikely to vote!

She further goes on to point to Georgia’s Voter ID Law has just been deemed unconstitutional…you know she’s right!! But I guess just like most Lefties that don’t want to make things better she failed to read why the Georgia Law was deemed unconstitutional. You see Georgia’s Law required all citizens to get a State ID card at a cost. This is being considered a ‘poll tax’ and is not right.

H.R. 4844, and by the way a similar bill here in Wisconsin, has been amended with the following provision that allows people unable to pay for the ID to still receive the ID…again I guess she just doesn’t read the bills before spouting off.

Sec. 3 (a)(4)(B)(ii) the State may not charge a fee to any individual who provides an attestation that the individual is unable to afford the fee.

So here a few questions:

When will Democrats learn what words mean?

Why are the Democrats so afraid of having to show photo ID?

Do all Democrats fail to read the Bill’s they are going to vote on?
