According to the American Conservative Union's ratings, Sen. Thompson is little more conservative than Sen. McCain. He voted for Sen.

President Bush has emerged from the recent veto battle more politically isolated on Iraq than ever.
There is no real name for the movement that took over America six years ago and continues run it. That's part of the reason for its success. Its very vagueness makes it hard to attack. In actuality, it is not a single entity. It is made up of three main parts.
On a lark, I yahooed 'Dick Cheney is an idiot', just to see what I'd get. There are some very good laughs here. For example, Bret Schundler (R) selected a photo of Howard Dean at a rally, and PhotoShop'ed himself in place of Howard - to show him as being highly energized and popular. WHAT A MAROON!!! ;P

A sharp difference of opinion over which issues ought to top the political agenda of Christian conservatives spilled out into the open at this week's meeting of the National Association of Evangelicals.

Conservatives are nothing if not stubborn. Having lost control of Congress in 2006 and finding themselves badly divided since, activists at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington this weekend are telling themselves that they only need to go back to the roots.

Somehow, I don't think the "social bookmarking" model is supposed to operate like this. The idea behind an ostensibly non-partisan site like Digg.com is that people submit links to interesting things, and other people rate the links, so that interesting stuff gets more votes and rises to the top.
As two U.S. Border Patrol agents surrendered to federal marshals Wednesday afternoon to begin serving more than a decade in jail for shooting an illegal drug smuggler, a federal lawmaker and conservative advocacy group expressed outrage at President Bush for not pardoning the men.

For decades, conservatives have railed against liberals as "weak on defense," content to let U.S. military readiness decline. In light of this week's announced escalation, conservatives must now be challenged to prove where their loyalties lie, with Bush or with our armed forces, breaking under the strain of his failed policies.
Pornographic movies now seem nearly as pervasive in America's hotel rooms as tiny shampoo bottles, and the lodging industry shows little concern as conservative activists rev up a protest campaign aimed at triggering a federal crackdown.
No Liberals in My Foxhole! Written by Alan Caruba Tuesday, August 01, 2006 In times of war, the last person you want in the foxhole with you is a liberal. Liberals are always desperately looking for a white flag to wave. They are always trying to “understand” the enemy and excuse his bad behavior.
