Good morning . . .
The Senate reconvenes today to consider the nomination of Condoleeza Rice as Secretary of State. While confirmation is assured, the Democrats have used the debate to criticize Rice and the Bush Administration for every problem in foreign affairs.
Led by far-left wing liberal Barbara Boxer the Democrats are also using the hearings and debate on Rice as a rallying cry for fundraising efforts for the 2006 mid-term elections. In the past week Boxer has sent two fundraising emails and letters to democratic supporters.
It is just another example of the Democrats saying anything and everything to regain any power. It also doesn't matter that the information is true or not.

Failed Democrat Presidential candidate John Kerry is beginning his second run for the presidency. Kerry is traveling around the country trying to stir up support for child health care.
Neither the proposal or how to pay for it are new. Kerry proposes to pay for it by raising taxes on "wealthy" Americans and small business owners earning $200,000.
Senator those proposals are out of touch with the American people. Yes, child health care is good and noble, but a tax increase to pay for it is not.
