MN-06
Vote for Michele Bachmann! Here are some of Captain Ed's comments on a dishonest ad from Sen. Bachmann's Democratic opponent, Patty Wetterling, and the DCCC:
So let's recap. Bachmann and the Republicans wanted a crime bill that actually addressed ... crime. The DFL, however, wanted a crime bill that they could pork up with a lot of spending that had to do with everything but ... crime. When the spending bill came up for a vote, the Republicans rejected it, and for good reason.
The DCCC and the Wetterling campaign want voters to believe that this represents Bachmann's views on crime and punishment. Instead, it's a great example of how Democrats exploit crime and other legislation as an excuse to throw money at all sorts of welfare programs, while extorting votes by attaching them to legislation important to voters. Bachmann refused to cooperate with their blackmail, and this is their resultant smear campaign.
Wetterling and the DCCC are honest in only one aspect of this issue. It shows how they will operate when they have a majority in Congress. If conservatives still feel inclined to sit out the midterms, this is what that abstention will buy them.

Two for Tuesday Morning
John Hinderaker:
Hugh Hewitt:
Maybe if an anonymous source tips the Strib to the fact that Keith Ellison is a long-time supporter of violent gang members who murder policemen, who has lied repeatedly about his long association with the Nation is Islam, the paper will finally print the story.
Hugh Hewitt:
The enemy is trying for a Ramadan version of the Tet offensive, and generally succeeding because even as was the case in 1968, the media and the left have no desire to understand much less report on the reality of the enemy and their tactics, but is instead in love with the idea of American defeat. Nancy Pelosi announces on 60Minutes that her goal is to make Bush and Cheney "lame ducks." There's a platform for you: The Party of Paralysis at Home and Defeat Abroad, supported by a MSM committed to showing the enemy's best side and our worst.

A Basic Point About Health Care
Paul Mirengoff:
Democrats like Hillary Clinton consider it a national embarrassment that, virtually alone among western nations, we don't have a government-mandated and government-controlled system to provide health care to all Americans. The only thing worse than not having such a system would be to have one.
