Which is the racial, profiling party? The Democratic party's mantra for choosing candidates seems to be diversity, pluralism and multi culturalism, proudly contrasting themselves to the Republican party which they profile as one whose membership consists of rich, white Christian men. But on Tuesday many of the Republican election winners were women. Yes, most of them were white, most of them were Christian and the two female victors in California, Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina, are very rich. But then there is Nikki Haley from South Carolina. She is a woman, she is an Indian-American (and no, Fox resident liberal, Juan Williams, not a Native American Indian but one whose parents ...

A Shrink Asks: What's Wrong with Obama? By Robin of Berkeley So what is the matter with Obama? Conservatives have been asking this question for some time. I've written a number of articles trying to solve the mystery. Even some liberals are starting to wonder. James Carville railed about Obama's blasé attitude after the catastrophic oil spill. The New York Times' Maureen Dowd revamped Obama's "Yes We Can" motto into "Will We Ever?" The liberal women of the TV show "The View" have expressed sympathy for Michelle Obama's living with a man so out of touch. Peggy Noonan, hardly a vehement Obama foe, recently pronounced him ...

White House can't stop left's revolt Last Updated: 5:15 AM, June 11, 2010 Posted: 11:36 PM, June 10, 2010 Kirsten Powers After Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln eked out a primary win over labor-backed Lt. Gov. Bill Halter on Tuesday, an anonymous White House official snarked to Politico, "Organized labor just flushed $10 million of their members' money down the toilet on a pointless exercise." Oh, snap. Organized labor was not amused. AFL-CIO spokesman Eddie Vale fumed: "Is the lesson they are taking out of tonight that they can go after labor and anonymously trash us and we will put our tail in between our legs and slink home? That ain't happening." ...

November true test for Tea Party success By Kristi Keck, CNN June 10, 2010 9:07 a.m. EDT (CNN) -- As Sharron Angle celebrated her win in Nevada's Republican Senate primary, she praised the Tea Party activists who backed her campaign and vowed to return the country to its constitutional principles. Angle, a former Nevada Assembly member criticized as being too far from the mainstream to win, soared to the front of the crowded field of more than a dozen GOP candidates. She'll face Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the general election. The Tea Party Express, which endorsed her campaign, declared Angle's win "a huge victory for the Tea Parties." But so far this ...

2010: the Year of the Conservative Woman? Newly chosen female nominees show that GOP primary voters, a deeply conservative bunch, don't appear to have a problem with strong women in public life anymore. By Doyle McManus June 10, 2010 E-mail Print Share Text Size la-oe-mcmanus-20100610 In 1992, when the number of women elected to the U.S. Senate soared from two to six, excited pundits dubbed that four-person breakthrough "The Year of the Woman." But it was a one-sided wave. Five of the six female senators in the 100-member Senate were liberal, pro-choice Democrats. Conservative women had long been active in Republican politics, of course, but rarely as officeholders. In those ...

Obama and the Trouble With Voting 'Present' Weak and radical, the president looks more like Jimmy Carter all the time. By KARL ROVE When Barack Obama announced he was running for president in February 2007, Nathan Gonzales of the Rothenberg Political Report wrote "Obama's history of voting 'present'" in Springfield, Ill.—even on some of the most controversial and politically explosive issues . . . raises questions . . . Voting 'present' is one of the three options in the Illinois Legislature (along with 'yes' and 'no') but it's almost never an option for the occupant of the Oval Office." Mr. Gonzales's words were ...

Options to plug the BP oil spill available, but Obama ignores them Tom Rowan Consider; -Natural oil eating bacteria was successfully used to clean up the ocean and shores after the Exxon Valdez accident. To date, the company which produces up to 200,000 gallons a day of the oil eating bacteria has not had their phone calls returned by Obama's White House or BP. -Kevin Costner has a small fleet of oil cleaning centrifuges at the ready. This device actually recovers lost oil. Again, Obama's White House is dithering and BP will not return Costner's appeals. Costner testified in front of Congress that he was ready to help on day one of the spill over 50 days ago. -The Dutch ...

A Loss Won't Silence the Democratic Left By E.J. Dionne WASHINGTON -- This week's primaries should have been good news for Democrats. Instead, a stray comment from an Obama aide briefly threatened a civil war in the Democratic Party, which needs all the unity it can get. The administration moved quickly to heal bad feelings that burst forth when an unnamed senior White House official disparaged organized labor's unsuccessful efforts to defeat Sen. Blanche Lincoln in the Arkansas Democratic primary. Clearly relishing Lincoln's runoff victory in a contest where she had President Obama's backing, the lieutenant told Politico: "Organized labor just flushed $10 ...

Blue Dogs let us down, say liberals By Jared Allen - 06/10/10 06:00 AM ET Liberal House Democrats say they’ ve been betrayed by their conservative Blue Dog colleagues. Months after shelving their doubts and helping Blue Dog Democrats get their signature issue of statutory pay-as-you-go language signed into law, some liberals say conservative Democrats have reneged on their side of the agreement. They say they received assurances that Blue Dogs would support “emergency” spending measures intended to bolster the economy and help the unemployed even if they added to the deficit. Designating the measures as “emergency” spending was supposed to exempt them from ...

Most transparent administration ever restricting press and lawmakers' access to oil spill By: Mark Hemingway Commentary Staff Writer 06/10/10 9:43 AM EDT This New York Times piece detailing coordinated efforts by the Obama administration and BP to limit media access to the gulf oil spill is beyond damning: A pilot wanted to take a photographer from The Times-Picayune of New Orleans to snap photographs of the oil slicks blackening the water. The response from a BP contractor who answered the phone late last month at the command center was swift and absolute: Permission denied. “We were questioned extensively. Who was on the aircraft? Who did they work for?” recalled Rhonda ...

US April foreclosures ebb, suggesting high plataeu Thu May 13, 2010 5:00am BSTBy Lynn Adler NEW YORK May 13 (Reuters) - U.S. foreclosure activity fell in April as lenders repossessed homes at a record pace but started far fewer new actions against struggling homeowners, signaling a plateau in loan failures, RealtyTrac said on Thursday. No meaningful improvement is likely this year, however, with mortgage modifications and high unemployment only delaying the inevitable for most of these borrowers, the Irvine, California-based real estate data company said. But nationwide April foreclosure filings -- notice of default, scheduled auction and bank repossession -- fell 9 percent from March ...

California Primary Bucks the Trend By Christian Whiton Published June 09, 2010 | FOXNews.com Print Email Share Comments (3) Text Size In Tuesday’s California primary elections, the state bucked the trend elsewhere where conservative candidates have been ascendant. The two big GOP nomination races, for governor and U.S. senator, were won easily by Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina. They both trounced more conservative rivals in elections marked by surprisingly low turnout in this year of the tea party. The primary reason: money. Whitman flooded a primary opponent who sought to reduce California’s sky-high taxes on businesses and individuals. She committed an estimated $71 million of ...

Rumors of a Coup By J.R. Dunn We've been hearing a lot of comments recently about a national coup d'etat scheduled for sometime in late summer or early fall and designed to circumvent the coming Democrat debacle in the 2010 elections. This is an example of political gothic of a type that I tend to overlook. But my interest was piqued by the fact that it has been mentioned several dozen times in the comment threads of essays of mine in recent weeks. I've had a little difficulty grasping exactly how such a thing would work, so I've spent the last few days puzzling it out. The contention is that at some point before the upcoming November elections, an "incident" ...

Just yesterday, President Obama held another fun-filled White House event, a picnic for Congress members, complete with hot dogs, cold beverages and a fire pit. All told, during the last seven weeks of spewing oil and rampant unemployment, he has frolicked and danced through three major White ...

Why Meg Whitman can save California Jun 9, 2010 09:18 EDT 2010 election | Meg Whitman As former Goldman Sachs CEO and ousted New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine can attest, a business background hardly guarantees political success. Though California is no startup website, former eBay boss Meg Whitman, now the GOP’s nominee for governor, might have the right skill-set to tackle the Golden State’s fiscal challenges. Not that getting the top job will be a simple click of a mouse. Although Whitman handily beat primary opponent Steve Poizner 64 percent to 27 percent, it took $80 million to do it. And California is a heavily Democratic state. Candidate Barack Obama won by 24 percentage ...

Jobs report a nightmare for Obama progressivism By George F. Will Thursday, June 10, 2010 Concerning the job numbers from May, one can almost echo Henry James's exclamation after examining letters pertaining to Lord Byron's incest: "Nauseating perhaps, but how quite inexpressibly significant." Except that the May numbers' significance can be expressed: A theory is being nibbled to death by facts. Private-sector job creation almost stopped in May. The 41,000 jobs created were dwarfed by the 411,000 temporary and low-wage government jobs needed to administer the census. Last year's stimulus having failed to hold unemployment below 8 percent as predicted, Barack ...

TALIBAN fighters are burying dirty needles with their bombs in a bid to infect British troops with HIV, The Sun can reveal. Hypodermic syringes are hidden below the surface pointing upwards to prick bomb squad experts as they hunt for devices. The heroin needles are feared to be contaminated with hepatitis and HIV. And if the bomb goes off, the needles become deadly flying shrapnel. The tactic, used in the Afghan badlands of Helmand, was exposed by Tory MP and ex-Army officer Patrick Mercer. Senior backbencher Mr Mercer said yesterday: "Are there no depths to which these people will stoop? This is the definition of a dirty war." Razor blades are also being used. All Royal ...

Who's afraid of Barack Obama? Nobody S.E. Cupp Wednesday, June 9th 2010, 4:00 AM Many great thinkers have written about power and fear, and more adroitly, about the power of fear. There's Michel Foucault, who asserts the power of surveillance (or, at least, the power of the threat of surveillance). Then there's Machiavelli's sobering advice to Lorenzo de' Medici, about using fear to maintain stability. Even Gandhi reflected on the power of fear, opining that the "power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent then the one derived from fear of punishment." No offense to the Mahatma, but he'd have made a terrible President of the ...

Landrieu said a majority of experts consulted by Interior Department Secretary Ken Salazar in deciding to impose the moratorium have come forward to her to express their disagreement with his decision. In the wake ...
