ABC has the news on just what, so far, has been found in the latest batch of documents to be released by Wikileaks.

What is most astounding here is the way the Wikileaks people simply don’t understand what they are doing. In service of a false narrative about our campaign in Iraq, these fools are releasing documents which they think “prove” their worldview when all they are really doing is putting the lives of people at risk. This isn’t a game, this is reality – the people we deal with in the enemy ranks are cruel murderers…they will take revenge, as far as they can, against anyone who crosses them. Along come these twits to give the terrorists the names and addresses of the people they’ll want to kill.

The irresponsibility there is just beyond belief – and the people who have done this will pay the price; there is justice in this world, and those who betray are always paid out here or hereafter. But, meanwhile, people will die because of this.

No surprise – from the Wall Street Journal:

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is now the biggest outside spender of the 2010 elections, thanks to an 11th-hour effort to boost Democrats that has vaulted the public-sector union ahead of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the AFL-CIO and a flock of new Republican groups in campaign spending…

$87.5 million dollars, some of it borrowed (once again showing how desperate they are). Here’s the kicker – as these are union dues paying the freight, it is really your tax dollars at work…especially that $160 billion Obama and his Democrats showered on the States to keep unionized government employees on the job…and paying the dues which winds up being the money Democrats campaign on so they can win and then spend some more on the unions, ad nauseum…

So, my fellow Americans, whom do you want to have the largest outside influence on politics? The Chamber of Commerce which advocates for less spending and taxes, or the public-sector unions who always demand more spending and taxes? Name your poison – but don’t try to tell me, liberals, that there is something wrong with the Chamber and something right with the unions getting in to politics.

My goodness, they are absolutely falling apart out there – from Politico:

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has taken out a $17 million line of credit for use in the final weeks of the campaign, signaling the party leadership’s commitment to having the money to counter an onslaught of millions of dollars in pro-Republican TV ads.

The new line of credit was disclosed in a DCCC report filed Thursday night with the Federal Election Commission…

While they claim $25 million cash on hand, the fact that they feel forced to borrow indicates two things:

1. Fund raising has been off.

2. They are in desperation mode.

From what I can sense by reading this and seeing that, the Democrats have written off the House and are hoping to keep to at least 50 Senators (Biden then being the tie-breaker). Obama’s campaign activities indicate this – heading to blue States to campaign for the “fire wall” Senators.

Over at Election Projection, the current tally is 49/49 with the two Democrat-leaning Independents safe or not running this year. If Democrats can hold to that, then they keep their majority. Here is the bad news for Democrats – the GOP only has to win two out of the following to get to 51: California, Washington, Delaware, West Virginia and Connecticut (presuming as I – and Election Projection – do that Reid is gone in Nevada). We need 40% of the final battle to win…and so the Democrats are going full court press to stop us.

At the end of the day, I have to rate their chances of success in this matter high. While I believe we can win in four of the five (Delaware is not entirely out of the question, but is clearly the weakest chance we’ve got), a massive end-of-the-race effort by Democrats may stir up enough of the base to save four of the five.

But it is clearly within the realm of possibility that the GOP could win – so, work with a will for victory, conservatives…we’ve got them on the run.

The home stretch is here – trying hard not to get too hopeful about November 2nd. Take nothing for granted!

Democrats are using voter fraud, as usual.

Obama is getting even more unpopular.

Harry Reid is getting more insane.

Geithner continues to bankrupt the United States.

And Sharron Angle comes up with the most devastating ad of the year:

Then here’s your chance:

Go here to help out. This is the highest hill we can climb in 2010 – it is a D+27 district and the corrupt Democrat incumbent usually wins so easy she doesn’t even have to campaign. She has to, this year, and that is astounding in and of itself…and we can beat her.

Not the action of a man allegedly cruising to victory over the hapless, screwball O’Donnell – from ABC News:

Chris Coons changed his previous position on the Bush era tax cuts this morning telling me that he would support extending all of the tax cuts for everyone for “several years.”

“I am committed to extending the Bush tax cuts for 98 percent of Americans for everybody making up to $250,000, but I would extend them for everyone,” the Democratic candidate for Delaware’s Senate seat told me on “GMA.”…

He’s still got the inside track to victory as Delaware is a very blue State – but having Obama come out to rouse the base and now calling for an extension of all the Bush tax cuts shows that O’Donnell has a path to victory, and Coons is trying to cut her off at the conservative pass.

Work with a will for victory, fellow conservatives – there are no safe Democrats out there.

I’m sure you’ve heard the story by now.

NPR News has terminated the contract of longtime news analyst Juan Williams after remarks he made on the Fox News Channel about Muslims.

Williams appeared Monday on The O’Reilly Factor, and host Bill O’Reilly asked him to comment on the idea that the U.S. is facing a dilemma with Muslims.

O’Reilly has been looking for support for his own remarks on a recent episode of ABC’s The View in which he directly blamed Muslims for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Co-hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg walked off the set in the middle of his appearance.

Williams responded: “Look, Bill, I’m not a bigot. You know the kind of books I’ve written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”

But what you may not know about are the things that NPR finds acceptable.

From calling Tea Party members “Tea Baggers,” to saying that “the evaporation of 4 million” Christians would leave the world a better place, to suggesting that God could give former Sen. Jesse Helms or his family AIDS from a blood transfusion, NPR’s personalities have said some pretty un-PC things in the past. A look at the record reveals no shortage of intolerant statements and unbalanced segments on the publicly sponsored network’s airwaves.

So, your thoughts?

UPDATE, by Mark Noonan: Boehner questions NPR’s taxpayer funding over at NRO

House GOP Leader John Boehner comments exclusively on the Juan Williams firing to National Review Online: “We need to face facts — our government is broke,” Boehner tells us. “Washington is borrowing 37 cents of every dollar it spends from our kids and grandkids. Given that, I think it’s reasonable to ask why Congress is spending taxpayers’ money to support a left-wing radio network — and in the wake of Juan Williams’ firing, it’s clearer than ever that’s what NPR is.”

From Rush – a GOP Senator makes squishy sounds about compromising on ObamaCare:

…Well, now it’s official. The elites in the GOP want to compromise with the Democrats, and they think that’s what you want. It’s all over the news today, and there’s a bunch of lessons here. Here’s how to blow the greatest election opportunity you’ve ever had since 1894, here’s how to blow it two weeks out, and at the same time here is how you form a third party, how you create the circumstances a third party would form.

This is the problem. The elites inside Washington, I don’t care what party, Republican, Democrat, cocktail, doesn’t matter what party, it’s the elites, we need to break the back of the elites out there. They have nothing to do with this grassroots movement that’s the Tea Party, nothing whatsoever. They have nothing to do with any victories in this election. This is going to be very key. All of these big time wins that are on tap two weeks from today, the elites will have had nothing to do with it. The elites have, in fact, stood in the way. The elites have decried and pummeled all of the Tea Party people and the candidates that have arisen from this effervescent grassroots movement. It’s the elites in both parties who paved the way for Obama. It’s the elites in both parties who gave us Senator McCain. The elites in both parties spent like liberals; they paved the way for McCain, they paved the way for Pelosi, for Harry Reid, and Obama. And now they’re sitting in Washington hoping to benefit from the results of an election that is in part in response to their malfeasance…

Never forget that the Ruling Class includes a sizable minority of the Republican Party. These are the Republicans who live for a glowing write-up in the Washington Post; for invitations to the socially important parties; who crave the approval of the liberal part of the Ruling Class. All of the Ruling Class wishes to remain in power – while Republican parts of it are willing to get to committee chairmanships via TEA Party votes, don’t for a moment think they won’t cut us off at the knees if they think they can get away with it.

After November 2nd, we’ll be down to about 10 of this sort of GOPers left in the Senate, maybe a couple dozen in the House. They’ll be eagerly scouting out their chance to become “mavericks” and darlings of the MSM by throwing us over and going along with Obama. They’ll hope to do it in a manner which doesn’t jeopardize themselves in 2012 and beyond, but they will try.

This is why our real task begins on November 3rd. We must keep up the pressure to the point where the RINOs become simply afraid to cross us. We’ve already thrown three of them over here in 2010 and that is a good lesson for them – but I think it will take a bit more convincing before they realize that they stay in office only with our permission, which will be withdrawn the moment they compromise with the liberalism which has bankrupted America.

And if they prove intractable? If they manage to get over on us and get in to bed with Obama to thwart us? Well, then that will be the time to consider forming a new party to replace the GOP. Mark my words: we’ll do it. I’m as rock-ribbed a Republican as they come, but no party is more important than the United States. If the Republicans fail us, then the Christian Democrat or Constitutional Republican party waits only to be called in to existence.

American Papist notes that Boxer is bringing out the big guns of the Culture of Death, hoping that there is one more victory to be wrung out of the corpses of children:

Boxer is relying on the abortion industry’s money to help finance her final campaign expenditures, as Kathryn Lopez at National Review reports:

Barbara Boxer, fighting for her Senate seat, is making the closing argument about abortion. During an event which could easily become poster fodder, Senator Boxer flanked herself with Hollywood — Amy Brenneman and David Eigenberg (Steve from Sex and the City), among others — and the abortion political establishment. At the event, Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, described Boxer as “the brightest star in the galaxy of pro-choice leaders in our country.”

My prayer for the election has been that on November 2nd those who defend life, justice and mercy triumph – no mention of party or platforms, just that plea that we get leaders worthy of a great and good nation. Barbara Boxer is antithesis of all that – a stalwart for the unjust, merciless taking of innocent human life.

I do believe her days in politics are numbered: polling has shown Boxer pretty consistently ahead, but has also shown her just as consistently below 50%. For an incumbent, that is usually the kiss of political death. People know her; she’s been around for ages…people who are undecided at this late stage don’t tend to break heavily for the incumbent. Boxer knows this – and this thus hoping an appeal to Death will motivate the liberal base in Los Angeles and San Francisco to save her bacon. My bet is that on election day, Boxer will come up short as a surge of GOPers outlasts whatever dregs of liberalism Boxer can still get to the polls.

But, nothing is certain – if you live in California, be sure to vote; volunteer, if you can. In California or out, pray – pray that the cause of life will gain an ally and lose an enemy on November 2nd.

From Rasmussen:

Republican John Raese has now opened up a seven-point lead over West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin in perhaps the most improbably close U.S. Senate contest in the country. It’s Raese’s biggest lead yet.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely West Virginia Voters finds Raese with 50% support to Manchin’s 43%. Two percent (2%) like some other candidate in the race, and five percent (5%) are undecided…

Can’t but envy West Virginians – seems that Manchin has been a pretty good governor, so West Virginians will get to keep the man they want in West Virginia while sending the man they need to DC to block Obama.

Still a very high hill to climb for the GOP to win a Senate majority (and in a lot of ways, having 50 or 49 GOPers would be best, anyway), but if we take West Virginia it becomes a definite possibility.
