Dems Fall Back on Their Preferred Strategy: Cut and Run

The NRCC has a nifty website up showing which of the endangered House Democrats have town halls scheduled.

Of the 75 most endangered Democrats, only 6 are having town hall meetings. Nancy Pelosi claimed the Democrats were very proud of their agenda these past two years.

If so, why are seventy Democrats hiding from their constituents?

Find out if yours is hiding here.

From the Mail Bag [UPDATED]

You'd think, given the decrepit condition of her home state at the hands of the Democrats, this person would have some sense. Apparently not.

From: brabc1@yahoo.com

Why are conservatives so hateful towards hard working Amercans?

They are against everything and anything that will help our country.

If they hate our country so much, why don't they just leave?

I just don't understand where they are coming...

Lame Duck Session Is Happening

The Deficit Reduction Commission will have its proposals back as soon as the election is over. It is intentional. They don't want to drop off a politically unpopular set of proposals before the election, lest voters reject people who support them.

Instead, they'll have the package of tax increases out right after the election.

Congress will have a lame duck session to vote on them, banking on the high number of losers in this November's election to get the recommendations passed.

How do I...

The Elite vs. the People

A federal district judge in San Francisco has decided the citizens of a state prohibiting gay marriage violates the constitution. "Gender no longer forms an essential part of marriage," said the judge, overturning several thousand years of history in one fell swoop. A majority of the citizens of California, the most progressive state in the union, disagree.

In fact, 32 states ban gay marriage by constitution or statute. An additional seven ban it, but have civil-union laws. The judge in...

In Obama's Post-Racial America: National Newspaper Publishers Association Screams Racism

Behind the scenes here at RedState, we have been joking that it was only a matter of time before people started screaming racism over the ethics trials of Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters.

Well, the time has come.

I have in my possession an email sent from Nichelle Holliday, an executive assistant at the Los Angeles Sentinel. The email was sent to upwards of a hundred newspapers across the country on behalf of Danny J. Bakewell Sr., Chairman of NNPA.

The email reads:

Dear Publishers,

Chairman...

Rent a Family

I hate to take a dig at Ben Quayle, running against Pamela Gorman in Arizona's 3rd and also son of the former Vice President, but this is just too funny.

Quayle sent out a mail piece of him holding one young child with another in a seat. The caption under it reads, in part, "Tiffany and I live in this district and we are going to raise our family here."

The implication is clear — these are his two girls and he's going to raise them in Arizona's 3rd.

There is just one problem.

Ben Quayle does n...
