UNPATRIOTIC DEMOCRATS WEARING OUT THEIR ONE-TRICK PONY
a TMR exclusive

15 months ago, the Bush administration put in its emergency spending request for the ongoing military occupation and rebuilding of Iraq, aka "the Iraq war". The Previous request had been used as a political football by congressional Democrats -- delayed, had funding approved but attached to demands to precipitiously abandon Iraq - guaranteed veto-getters -- before finally, grudgingly allowing the funding to be partially approved, and seemingly designed to be as unhelpful as possible.

Closing comments below the live blog.

(Update) Thanks to Mount Virtus and Slapstick Politics for joining the live blog. They and I are part of the Rocky Mountain Alliance 2.0, Slapstick has video of many of the speeches. I’ll post a blog later about my observations of the Convention. - NT

I was given a press credential for the Colorado State Republican Convention tomorrow morning. The Convention begins at 9:30am. It appears that there will be separate events for each District. If that is the case, I will be at the 4th District event. This is the district represented by Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave, which includes Fort Collins where I live.

TMR has graciously offerred the opportunity for me to Live Blog this event here. Look for this to begin around 9:30am MDT.

Dole Gets Dander Up

Our good friend absentee (Caleb Howe) has the story at the Political Machine

“In my nearly 36 years of public service I’ve known of a few like you,” Dole writes, recounting his years representing Kansas in the House and Senate. “No doubt you will ‘clean up’ as the liberal anti-Bush press will promote your belated concerns with wild enthusiasm. When the money starts rolling in you should donate it to a worthy cause, something like, ‘Biting The Hand That Fed Me.’ Another thought is to weasel your way back into the White House if a Democrat is elected. That would provide a good set up for a second book deal in a few years”

Michael Pfleger: White Liberal Guilt On Display

On the May 30th edition of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” liberal co-host Mika Brzezinski made an embarrassing oopsie when she declared that white people shouldn’t judge Michael Pfleger, the latest nutball leftist preacher to endorse Barack Obama.

White Women Cooling Toward Obama

From the Politico.com

Quote:
Barack Obama’s favorability ratings among white women has declined significantly in recent months, particularly among Democrats and independents, presenting an immediate obstacle for the likely Democratic nominee as he moves to shore up his party’s base.

According to a new report by The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, half of white women now have a negative perception of Obama.

Forty-nine percent of white women view Obama unfavorably, while only 43 percent hold a favorable opinion. In February, 36 percent of these women viewed Obama unfavorably, while 56 percent had a positive perception of the likely Democratic nominee.

And lib pundits keep trying to say the Rev. Wright flap didn't hurt Obama...Oh Pa-lease!

Democrat Convention Considering Spending Cuts - Short on Funds

From the Denver Post via Drudge

Quote:
Millions of dollars behind in raising money and unlikely to meet a fast-approaching final deadline, the Denver committee hosting the Democratic National Convention is considering spending cuts.

Committee sources say they are working with the Democratic National Convention Committee to consider lowering the $55 million in private cash and donated services that must be raised to bring the convention to town. The cuts would be made to the many parties the host committee is obligated to throw for the delegations and the news media, and other hospitality functions not tied to production aspects inside the convention hall.

"There have been no specific decisions made," host committee spokesman Chris Lopez said. "We're always identifying costs and weighing them against our anticipated revenue."

Maybe the exceptionally high cost of going completely green and organic isn't quit worth it?

Just sayin'

Ed Morrissey Talks McCains League of Democracies

It’s not just the US that wants a mechanism that ignores Russia and China. And after the Oil-for-Food corruption and the sexual abuse scandals involving UN peacekeeper troops from non-democracies, these nations may not see the UN as an effective mechanism at all any longer, and may welcome an alternative.
