Fifth Column you have a name

August 3, 2006

Rep. John P. Murtha

Murtha has admitted he recieved the briefing that led him to accuse United States Marines with cold blooded murder a week AFTER he made the pronouncement. This guy is about to get the kind of attention that is usually reserved for presidental candidates.

Here are some links for you…

Liberal (progressive) ground swell?

August 1, 2006

A LOT of press has talked about the rising tide of progressives and how the pro bush/conservatives would lose control of congress in November but I do not believe it.

 I am doing a little test. This is a list of Conservatives endorsed by the ABC Pac

US House of Representatives
Michele Bachmann (MN-06) 
Chuck Blasdel (OH-6) 
Max Burns (GA-12) 
John Gard (WI-08) 
Diane Irey (PA-12) 
Jeff Lamberti (IA-03) 
Ray Meier (NY-24) 
David McSweeney (IL-08) 
Rick O’Donnell (CO-07) 
Peter Roskam (IL-06)
Scott Tipton (CO-3) 
Van Taylor (TX-17) 
Chris Wakim (WV-01)
Mike Whalen (IA-01)
  
US Senate
Thomas Kean (New Jersey) 
Michael Steele (Maryland)
Mark Kennedy (Minnesota) 
Mike McGavick (Washington)
Let’s see what happens here. I do not follow most house races but I have publicly posted that all 4 of the Senate races are ours to win. And they are all either currently held by a Democrat or open seats that were once held by a Democrat. There is no reason they should lose.

UPDATE: Larry Sabato is calling all four as leans or likely Democratic wins.

Update 2: Here are his calls for the House. I have preceeded the race with a D if he thinks the Democrats will win, etc. etc.

D Chuck Blasdel (OH-6) 
D Max Burns (GA-12) 
D Diane Irey (PA-12) 
D Jeff Lamberti (IA-03)
