Via AP: A second round of DNA testing in the Duke University lacrosse rape case came back with the same result as the first – no conclusive match to any member of the team, defense attorneys said Friday.
Anyone wanna place a bet for when charges will be dropped against Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty?
Could it be any more obvious that CNN longs to relive the 90’s? The Clinton shillers should be ashamed of themselves for commissioning such a blatantly biased and worthless poll.
Poll: Clinton outperformed Bush
In a new poll comparing President Bush’s job performance with that of his predecessor, a strong majority of respondents said President Clinton outperformed Bush on a host of issues.
They even have a link to a video that says, “Watch whether Americans are getting nostalgic for the Clinton era.” Puhleeze!
Just what service does this provide? What good is it? Hellooooo! Bill Clinton isn’t president anymore. We’re not going back (thank God!).
CNN stinks.
President George W. Bush will address the nation on Monday night to make the case for a comprehensive overhaul of U.S. immigration law. As I see it, this will be his one chance to seriously address the crisis and give Republicans the advantage going into the mid term elections. To do that he must side with the majority of American people. He must also oppose a minority of Latin Americans who believe in amnesty for illegal aliens. Some in the Beltway believe he will sacrifice the Latino vote if he denies the millions of undocumented immigrants instant citizenship status. I don’t think so. As far as I can tell, a majority of legal immigrants in this country are opposed to the amnesty offer. They’ll surely stay with the president if he were to support existing laws.
On Monday night I’ll be looking for the president to announce an increase in border patrol enforcement, be it agents or the National Guard. He should announce unequivocal support for existing immigration law and security enforcement. He can give support to a future guest worker program, but he must require that the existing messy immigration system be cleaned up first. As such, he should announce that the army corp of engineers will immediately begin constructing a wall on the border to keep more illegals from entering the country.
If Bush does this a majority of Americans will be with him, his poll numbers will go up, the GOP will have a message for the mid terms and we’ll have a better chance of keeping our majority. It will be a pivotal moment in the Bush presidency and could shape the election outcome in 2008.
Mr. President, we’ll be watching.
The Washington Post and ABC News have conducted a poll on the NSA program to log telephone numbers and mine the data for terrorist activity. The results show that a majority of the people support the effort as an effective way to combat terrorism. This runs contrary to the Beltway’s weeping and gnashing of teeth, and short circuits the siren wail of the MSM.
The new survey found that 63 percent of Americans said they found the NSA program to be an acceptable way to investigate terrorism, including 44 percent who strongly endorsed the effort. Another 35 percent said the program was unacceptable, which included 24 percent who strongly objected to it.
A slightly larger majority–66 percent–said they would not be bothered if NSA collected records of personal calls they had made, the poll found.
Underlying those views is the belief that the need to investigate terrorism outweighs privacy concerns.
In other words, a majority of people would rather live than be killed as a result of a surprise terrorist attack on our homeland. Make sense to me.
Of course I would be remiss if I were to withhold my reservations on instantly parroting a poll that seems to agree with what I believe. That is what most liberals do, and seeing as how I know that poll results are a direct result of the questions asked, I feel a little queasy waving this poll as an example of God honest truth. For now though, I’ll stay with my hunch that this poll is probably closer to the truth than most.
The MSM hasn’t let go of the story yet. Most are playing catch up to USA Today. Obviously their story yesterday caught many by surprise. As a result, we can look forward to this being a topic on the Sunday shows. It will be interesting to hear the opinions of Congress members now that this poll is out. Expect a lot of U-turns.
The lefty blogs seem disappointed that Americans aren’t as paranoid as they are. I suspect they’re upset that they won’t be able to gain much more traction with this story. Yesterday, their roller coaster was on top. Today, it’s come barreling down. Man, it must be tough to ride that ride day in and day out. But hey, it’s not like they can’t get off whenever they want.
