***************************************** We Have a Winner! Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for the quote and author I was looking for yesterday. It will come as no surprise that the quote turns out to have come from, not a Founding Father, but the father of the modern Republican Party: Abraham Lincoln. It was Honest Abe who said: "In all that the people can individually do as well for themselves, government ought not to interfere." Thanks again. ****************************************** Thank Our Lucky Stars "We can learn a lot from other countries - including how lucky we are to be Americans." - Columnist Thomas Sowell ****************************************** Victory for Common Sense "A Florida judge ruled yesterday that a Muslim woman cannot wear a veil in her driver's license photo." - Associated Press, 6/7/03 ***************************************** Conditional Announcement "Yes, I would love to be governor of California. . . . If the state needs me, and if there's no one I think is better, then I will run." - Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the July issue of Esquire magazine. The "Terminator" is a Republican. ***************************************** The Triple Crown In a recent column, former Republican National Committee Chairman Rich Bond recalled the winning campaign message that Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Ed King used to defeat Michael Dukakis in 1978: (1) Cut taxes; (2) Cut spending; (3) Kill killers. If this isn't the present-day GOP platform...it should be. And Republicans are two-thirds of the way there. They've nailed it in the tax-cut department. And they've certainly done a bang-up job killing terrorist killers intent on killing us. Now, if they can just do something BIG on that spending side, they'd win the Triple Crown. *************************************** Campaign Hot Tips New to campaigns and grassroots activism?

"A total of 762 people were detained in the three months after September 11, 2001 - not many considering that there are millions of foreigners living in the United States. Every individual detained was in this country illegally - not one was a legal immigrant." - Columnist Clifford May ***************************************** No Peace, No Way "The terror groups Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Yasser Arafat's Fatah Party, and Mr. Arafat himself do not want a two-state solution to the Middle East crisis. They want to destroy Israel. Consequently, they seek to sabotage any measure that has half a chance of bringing about peace between Israelis and Palestinians." - Columnist Jack Kelly ***************************************** Hillary Dillary Duh "(Hillary Clinton) knows that the chattering class won't buy her story that she had to gulp for air, that she cried and yelled and hollered and stomped her size 10 flats when Bill finally told her that yes, the vast right-wing media conspiracy had actually got it right, he generally DID wear his pants around his ankles in the Oval Office. Buddy the dog was the only member of the family who would have anything to do with the president for days, maybe weeks, afterward, so great was Hillary's fury. Now we know why Buddy threw himself in front of the car." - Wesley Pruden, "Pruden On Politics," 6/6/03 ***************************************** The Donkeys' MVP: Most Valuable Prevaricator "As for Hillary, Independent counsel Robert W. Ray, in his last report on the Clintons, asserted that though there was not sufficient evidence to prosecute she had given factually inaccurate testimony and Whitewater involved criminal activity. Well, that is what we have come to expect from her: dishonesty. She is now the most popular Democrat in the country." - Columnist R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr. **************************************** The Donkey's Wacko Wing "The (Democrat) party's powerful liberal base, which chooses its presidential nominee, is hugely out of step with the rest of the country to a degree not seen since 1972, when the extreme leftists of the party's antiwar wing took control. . . . Two weeks ago, most of the major and minor presidential hopefuls appeared before a group of Democrat activists in Des Moines, home of the important Iowa caucuses. Democrat pollster Celinda Lake tested the reactions of 30 Iowa Democrats to the candidates. And who did Iowa Democrats like best? The 'vegan,' antiwar candidate Dennis Kucinich, who bankrupted Cleveland and proposed the creation of a 'U.S. Department of Peace.' Second place went to Al Sharpton. Enough said." - Former RNC Chairman Rich Bond ************************************ 4.75 cents-per-minute Long Distance * All state-to-state calls in the continental U.S. * Residential or commercial * 6-second billing increments * 24 hours/day * 7 days/week * No access codes * No minimums * No activation fees * Calling Card Rate is 10 cents per minute * No monthly service charge unless your bill is less than $20.00 a month (then a $1.99 service charge will apply) * No need to change your local phone company * No hassles * Easy sign-up. * And a small portion of each bill goes to help continue publishing our FREE Chuck Muth's News & Views e-newsletter.

First Amendment absolutists think it's outrageous whenever a strip club is banned, but the same people have no problem with keeping Wal-Mart or McDonald's out of their town." - Columnist Jonah Goldberg ***************************************** Rogue Judge Anyone wondering why Democrats in the Senate are doing everything in their power to block certain judicial appointments by President Bush need only look at the affirmative-action case currently pending in the Supreme Court which was originally addressed by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Here's the poop. The chief judge of the 6th circuit, Boyce F. Martin, is a liberal judge appointed by President Jimmy Carter (wow, some surprise there, huh?). When the University of Michigan's affirmative action program made it to the court, a three-judge panel was to be convened for review. Court rules specify that judges for such a panel be selected at random. Instead, Judge Martin selected himself, according to a complaint filed by a fellow judge who was appointed by the first President Bush. Judge Martin denies selecting himself and says he is being "royally shafted" by the complaint and compares himself to poor ol' Sammy "Corked Bat" Sosa. As Martin tells it, he and a court clerk, in the privacy of the judge's office, put all the names in a hat and the court clerk - viola! - just happened to pull out Martin's name. Uh-huh. Sure. To believe Judge Martin's claim that there was no funny business involved here requires the level of gullibility it takes to believe Hillary Clinton was shocked - shocked! - to find out that hubby Bill had lied to her about a certain intern. Not only did Martin sit on the three-judge review panel, but he also delayed for five months a request to rehear the case by the full court in order to exclude two conservative judges who were about to retire. The ultimate result is that the 6th Circuit eventually upheld Michigan's race-based admissions policies by a razor-thin 5-4 majority. Judge Martin his own self wrote the majority decision. Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable. Now you know why Democrat senators don't want to see judges such as Miguel Estrada and Priscilla Owen confirmed. They might cramp the style of liberal, legislate-from-the-bench activist judges such as the dishonorable Judge Martin. ****************************************** Affordable Campaign Websites!
