did you know that.....

.....the Democrats in the House are voting to give delegates and non-members of the House full voting rights. Four of the five will have the ability to vote for tax increases, while they themselves are exempt from federal taxes.

.....75% of all viewers had a favorable impression of President Bush's State of the Union Address? That certainly illustrates how out of touch with reality the Democrats are.

.....the percentage of Americans who self-identify as politically right of center is about 35%, while approximately 22% self-identify as left of center? http://www.electionstudies.org/nesguide/toptable/tab3_1.htm
Message to GOP: conservative beats liberal every day of the week, and twice on Sunday!

.....in January 1999, the leading GOP presidential candidate in New Hampshire was Liddy Dole? In January of 1991, the 3 leading Democrat candidates were Mario Cuomo, Jesse Jackson, and Lloyd Bentson. My point? Let's all take a deep breath and not annoint anyone just yet. Newt Gingrich has an interesting take on this:

Talk with Americans anywhere in the county and they will tell you that they have little interest in being bombarded with negative ads, trivia and cynical news reports about the men and women who are running for President over the next two years. Given the political destructiveness over the last two election cycles, Americans are anticipating the 2008 presidential race with about the same enthusiasm as getting a root canal: We know the ultimate purpose is important, but does it have to be so painful?
Did you know that Sen. John F. Kennedy announced he was running for President on January 2, 1960? And when Ronald Reagan ran for President in 1975 and 1979, he began his campaigns in November on dates that would be considered laughably late by today's consultants and journalists. But Ronald Reagan got the last laugh.
Our political process has come a long way in just 20 years -- and not for the better. Already, on the Republican side, Senators John McCain (Ariz.) and Sam Brownback (Kan.), former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Duncan Hunter (Calif.) have formally begun their presidential campaigns.
And as for the Democrats, Senators Hillary Clinton (N.Y.) and Barack Obama (Ill.), former Sen. John Edwards (N.C.) and -- just yesterday -- New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson have all officially jumped into the fray.
"Winning the Future" readers know that I've long argued that almost two years is too long for a presidential campaign. But if all these bright, talented politicians can't be persuaded to put off their presidential ambitions for a year, then they should be persuaded to spend this extra year of campaigning in a way that would do some good: by focusing on positive, bipartisan solutions for the country rather then negative, one-sided, attack politics.

My guess is that Gingrich will announce his candidacy towards the end of 2007.

.....a majority of Americans are opposed to the "redeployment" strategy (I call it "surrender") of the Democrats? How do I know that, you ask? I know it because the Democrats aren't voting to cut off funding for any additional military action. They know that most Americans don't support cut-and-run, so they are left with Plan B, which is to undermine the war effort in order to cause us to lose. Then they will blame Bush. Pretty sick, isn't it? Look at some of the articles posted at
