The Virginia-based American Life League is pushing an amendment to the Florida Constitution that would define a “person” as being in existence from “the beginning of the biological development.” This being called the “Personhood Amendment“. (The photo at right shows an 8-cell embryo)
Florida is one of several states being targeted by the Roman Catholic group.
Voters in Colorado rejected a similar proposal last year, but another attempt is being made to get it back on the ballot there next year. Efforts to get the proposal on the ballot failed in Georgia and Oregon last year. North …

It appears as though Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is part of the tenther movement. Think Progress shows how Pawlenty is moving to the right, invoking states’ rights, perhaps with an eye toward 2012. It’s a shame that we continue to see Republicans with White House ambitions think they have to move wingward in order to satisfy “the base.”
On a conference call, Pawlenty invoked both the Tenth Amendment and Texas Governor Rick Perry, who has expressed sympathy for secessionists.
Depending on what the federal government comes out with here, asserting the 10th Amendment might be viable option, but we …

What is the right doing, playing Can You Top This? Erick Erickson (right) probably is just being himself.
Joe Wilson has been identified as the Republican who yelled out that Barack Obama was a liar.
He gets a drink on me!
Then Erickson goes after Bob Bennett.
Bob Bennett (RINO-UT) was the only Republican who stood up and clapped when Barack Obama bashed Sarah Palin over the death panels. That jackass should be taken out in a primary.
Then Erickson tries to get his readers to contribute to Wilson.…

RNC Chair Michael Steele accused President Obama of using Ted Kennedy’s letter as a “political tool” and called it “bad form.”
“I’m sorry, but I just felt a bit unnerved by it, in the sense he just passed,” Mr. Steele told The Washington Times’ “America’s Morning News” radio show on Thursday.

“His wife was still clearly emotional,” Mr. Steele said. “I just thought that was bad form. We all understand and appreciate the role Sen. Kennedy has played in this debate and the passion he brought to health care. I just thought that was a little bit …

In December 2003, when Essie Mae Washington-Williams acknowledged that she was the illegitimate daughter of the recently-deceased South Carolina Senator Storm Thurmond, Joe “You Lie” Wilson said he didn’t believe her.
Rep. Wilson, a former page of Thurmond’s, immediately told The State newspaper that he didn’t believe Williams. He deemed the revelation “unseemly.” And he added that even if she was telling the truth, she should have kept the inconvenient facts to herself:
“It’s a smear on the image that [Thurmond] has as a person of high integrity who has been so loyal to the people of South …

CBS has Obama going from 62 to 69% and the CNN poll gives him a 68% approval on the speech itself. And the true target audience, the American public, seems more favorably inclined toward health care reform.

In addition, 56% of viewers had a “very positive” reaction to the speech.…

Nancy Pelosi, when asked if she’ll sanction Joe Wilson for inappropriate behavior told Fox News, “I don’t even know who he is.” Wilson, it turns out is a former aide to Senator Strom Thurmond. Wilson also once called California Congressman Bob Filner “viscerally anti-American” with a deep seeded (sp) “hatred of America” when Filner suggested the United States supplied chemical and biological weapons to Iraq.
UPDATE: Joe Wilson has now apologized:
“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the …
