Day By Day
I received an e-mail from Hugh Hewitt the other day, stressing the importance of the upcoming mid-term elections. Hewitt has been beating the drum, repeating his terse -- and effective -- fifteen-word mantra:
Win the war.
Confirm the judges.
Cut the taxes.
Control the spending.
Secure the border.
And the way to ensure that happens is to support conservatives in the primaries; hold your nose and vote for the GOP candidate -- even if a RINO -- during the general election, so the Dhimmicrats don't get control of Congress.
Hugh writes:
Are you willing to invest in the future by contributing $50 to each of the ten GOP Senate candidates that are best positioned to either retain their seats or take a blue seat red?
It's a big commitment, but the stakes are incredibly high, including success in the war on terror, and the ability to confirm good judges to the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts.
In fact, no matter what the problem is, the answer can't be more Democrats.
If that's just too much, then how about $25 each, or $10 each? It all matters.
Go online and support the Big Ten right now:
Arizona's Jon Kyl
Maryland's Michael Steele
Minnesota's Mark Kennedy
Missouri's Jim Talent
Montana's Conrad Burns
Nebraska's Pete Ricketts
New Jersey's Tom Kean
Ohio's Mike DeWine
Pennsylvania's Rick Santorum
Washington's Mike McGavick[...]
Life would look a whole lot different without the majority. No Justice Alito. No Judge Kavanaugh. Guantanamo hearings. Impeachment proceedings. Majority Leader Reid "compromising" with Speaker Pelosi on immigration.
We all know the plan for victory in '06 and '08:
Win the war.
Confirm the judges.
Cut the taxes.
Control the spending.
Secure the border.None of it will get done with Democrats at the helm in the Senate. Dig deep. Go online and support the Big Ten today.
I'm going to give to individual candidates; the GOP as a party still pisses me off way too much to give to their general fund (illegal immigration, anyone?). But Hugh's right; the Republicans aren't perfect -- they just seem that way when you consider the alternatives.

Guatanamo hearings, can anyone imagine how ludicrous that would be.
It is a critical time to support anything the opposite of liberal. If something smells like Cindy Sheehan in a suit, it needs to be kept out of office.
I like Joe Lieberman though. Until they turn up some dirt on him, I would consider Joe for the big picture. I'm also for abortion and drug legalization but reticent about the death penalty. The death penalty is often a political tool allowing people with higher goals to benefit from its use. I don't care about keeping Tookie alive or Jeffrey Dahmer... but the blueprint being available to so many is a concern.
Drugs could be legalized, at least for tax purposes. Abortion should be up to the individual. I don't understand the kids today who kill a baby after birth when all they have to do is give it up. I think it's legal in 7 states to drop off the kid somewhere, no questions asked. So while I probably would avoid abortion as a personal solution (my inner angels cry no), I would still support abortion as legal and accessible.
Not to be crude, but even in the animal world mothers decide if they should keep their baby. I know we're held to higher standards and controlled impulses... but it's something to think about.
But back to Hugh. He unabashedly supports the party. I'm more of a Libertarian, concerned about domestic matters. Until Bush takes control of the United States of Vicente Fox, we're all doomed.
