Conservative Talking Points

Digital Republican Trouble - The much-discussed Youtube/CNN Republican debate is in jeopardy of being cancelled because many of the top Republicans consider the format too ridiculous. In an interview with the New Hampshire Union Leader, Mitt Romney quipped that "I think the presidency ought to be held at a higher level than having to answer questions from a snowman." Although I don't serve on the Romney campaign staff, I think Romney misspoke and on behalf of the Republican party I'm certain that he apologizes to the snowmen, cavemen, and other forms of bizarre internet life that wish to lambaste our party. We aren't the Democrats, and although we will never have the circus tent platform that they do, we shouldn't stop their clowns from performing under the cyberspace big top.

Obama, International Peace Monger - Obama wasn't afraid of the Youtube/CNN format and fiercely paraded himself online for the viewing public. Obama even managed to commit to meet with Cuba, Syria, Iran, North Korea, and Venezuela if he became President. Let's get out our voting bloc elimination scorecard and tally these up. Syria and Iran should effectively destroy any Jewish support that Obama once had. Cuba and Venezuela should eliminate a good bloc of the Hispanic population, and North Korea will eliminate anybody with an IQ over 100. That leaves the Youtube snowmen and freaks.

How Novel - The Democratic Senate is excited because it has decided to do something creative with their extraordinary legislative power--impeach White House officials. Senator Patrick Leahy (VT) gave a riveting speech this past week to announce his new plan to impeach the likes of Karl Rove. How exciting!! That's a real change in course for the new Democratic majority. The Democrats must be hoping that the architect of the Bush White House comes to the Hill with a plan for solving America's domestic and foreign policy agenda, because it doesn't seem like the Democrats have any big plans to advance any of their pie-in-the-sky 06 promises.

Poverty Tour?? - All of America was set to watch Edwards tour the country utilizing the poor for his comparative backdrop of why his yuppie background makes him the ideal candidate to fight poverty, and then it stopped?? Apparently, Edwards was hanging out on a bicycle this week with Lance Armstrong to discuss cancer issues. Now I realize it is more exciting to hang out with Armstrong on his bicycle than Boxcar Willy in his boxcar, but surely a poverty tour should come with some level of commitment? Perhaps he was confused by Poverty Tour & Tour de France?

Does Not Compute - House Democrats this week included a provision titled "Reducing the Need for Abortions Initiative" which aims at......reducing abortions. This legislation is designed as an olive branch and includes abstinence funding and adoptive programs. Shame on the House Democrats; we don't know what this Trojan horse means, but shame on the Democrats for trying to steal our best mojo.
