Newton, Ia. — Former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson said Monday he was certain former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction prior to the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, a point of contention in the 41/2years since the war began. “We can’t forget the fact that although at a particular point in time we never found any WMD down there, he clearly had had WMD. He clearly had had the beginnings of a nuclear program,” Thompson told an audience of about 60 at a Newton cafe. Thompson later said he was referring Saddam’s attack on Kurdish northern Iraq with banned weapons in the 1980s. “He acknowledged, I think, in filings made by the United ...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Muslim and Jewish groups on Monday sharply criticized Sen. John McCain's comments that he would prefer a Christian president to lead the United States. GOP presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain campaigns Sunday in Derry, New Hampshire. The Arizona Republican's remarks came in an interview with Beliefnet, a Web site that covers religious issues and affairs. "I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles, personally, I prefer someone who has a grounding in my faith," the GOP presidential hopeful told the Web site in an interview published Saturday. McCain also said he agreed with a recent poll ...
Putin drops bombshell: I want to be the next Russian Prime Minister

Vladimir Putin today announced that he will head the candidate list for upcoming Duma elections and has a “realistic” chance of becoming Russia’s next Prime Minister when he stands down as President. The shock declaration has ended years of speculation as to what Mr Putin will do at the end of his second term as President – the constitution does not allow him to stand for a third term. He has agreed to appear on the list of candidates for the United Russia party in parliamentary elections due to be held on December 2 while he is still President. Leading the party’s ticket does not mean Mr Putin will necessarily take a seat in parliament. Prominent politicians are ...

Christian Conservatives Consider Third-Party Effort By David D. Kirkpatrick Alarmed at the chance that the Republican party might pick Rudolph Giuliani as its presidential nominee despite his support for abortion rights, a coalition of influential Christian conservatives is threatening to back a third-party candidate in an attempt to stop him. The group making the threat, which came together Saturday in Salt Lake City during a break-away gathering during a meeting of the secretive Council for National Policy, includes Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family, who is perhaps the most influential of the group, as well as Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, the direct mail pioneer ...

Is Hillary Clinton the New Old Al Gore?

THE Democrats can't lose the White House in 2008, can they? Some 13 months before Election Day, the race's dynamic seems immutable. Americans can't wait to evict the unpopular president and end his disastrous war. As the campaign's poll-tested phrasemaking constantly reminds us, voters crave change above all else. That means nearly any Democrat might do, even if the nominee isn't the first woman, black or Hispanic to lead a major party's ticket. The Republican field of aging white guys, meanwhile, gets flakier by the day. The front-runner has taken to cooing to his third wife over a cellphone in the middle of campaign speeches. His hottest challenger, the new ...

Hillary hostility growing WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton is learning the downside of being the front-runner - more Democrats are getting antsy, finding her answers noncommittal, even Republicanesque. At the seventh Democratic debate, staged at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, the audience response to her "I'm not going to answer that" stance was almost hostile. The former first lady proved critics wrong when she worked hard to be elected twice to the Senate from New York, where she had never before lived. Now she seems so confident of getting her party's presidential nomination that she is already moving to the center of the road to do battle with a ...
Republican Opponents Afraid To Attack Giuliani On 9/11

Rudy Giuliani has made his performance on Sept. 11 the dominant pillar of his campaign, a strategy that has proved at once effective and controversial. While the former New York City mayor finds himself atop national polls and well-positioned to capture the Republican nomination, he has also exposed himself to criticism that he is overstating his terrorism credentials and crassly politicizing the issue. Yet just three months before the first primary vote is cast, none of Giuliani's top-tier primary opponents have taken the bait. Despite privately acknowledging that there is ample ammunition to attack Giuliani for his handling of and work after 9/11, the GOP presidential frontrunners ...

Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani compared the scrutiny of his personal life marked by three marriages to the biblical story of how Jesus dealt with an adulterous woman. In an interview posted online Friday, Giuliani was questioned about his family and told the Christian Broadcasting Network, "I think there are some people that are very judgmental." Giuliani has a daughter who indicated support for Democrat Barack Obama and a son who said he didn't speak to his father for some time. Giuliani's messy divorce from their mother, Donna Hanover, was waged publicly while Giuliani was mayor of New York. "I'm guided very, very often about, `Don't judge ...

Who's 'Behind' the GOP Plot To Split California's Electoral Votes?

Who's 'Behind' the GOP Plot To Split California's Electoral Votes? Have you heard about this California scheme to split the giant state’s electoral votes by congressional districts? It basically works like this: The gerrymandered redneck districts that have given America such congressional stars as Duke Cunningham, John Doolittle, Jerry Lewis, Duncan Hunter and Dick Pombo will also vote for whatever weirdo finally wins the GOP nomination. And by some deliberately confusing system, the votes for president would be divvied up by congressional district and then the Republican (who never wins in California unless he is Ronald Reagan) gets an Ohio-sized slice of the ...

In a sign of potential money woes, Rudy Giuliani has fired his presidential campaign's chief fundraiser and brought in a top rainmaker for President Bush, The Daily News has learned. Anne Dunsmore, who took control of Giuliani's day-to-day fundraising operation in May, has been replaced by Jim Lee, a Texas money man and Bush ally who is already one of Giuliani's national finance co-chairs. "Anne Dunsmore is no longer working on our campaign," Giuliani communications chief Katie Levinson confirmed. "We thank Anne for her service and the departure is amicable." Added Dunsmore in a statement: "I continue to believe Rudy Giuliani is the strongest ...

Report: GOP "Broke," Expecting To Lose More House Seats By Greg Sargent - September 25, 2007, 12:11PM Last week we brought you word that GOP House leader John Boehner and NRCC chief Tom Cole were locked in a power struggle for control of the NRCC amid increasing signs that NRCC strategists are in denial about just how bad the 2008 map looks for them. Now there's more. Top Republicans are conceding that the NRCC is all but broke and that another bloodletting is all but certain. As GOP Rep. Ray LaHood puts it with startling candor: “When you look at what’s going on in the House, the prospects for getting back on track are pretty dim at the moment." Ouch. Late ...

Washington, D.C. - President Bush is quietly providing back-channel advice to Hillary Rodham Clinton, urging her to modulate her rhetoric so she can effectively prosecute the war in Iraq if elected president. In an interview for the new book “The Evangelical President,” White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten said Bush has “been urging candidates: ‘Don’t get yourself too locked in where you stand right now. If you end up sitting where I sit, things could change dramatically.’ ” Bolten said Bush wants enough continuity in his Iraq policy that “even a Democratic president would be in a position to sustain a legitimate presence there.” ...

"The U.S. detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, not long ago appeared headed for closure," The LA Times reports. "But the latest attempt to shut it down is facing collapse: The detention facility has been embraced by many Republicans as a potent political symbol in their quest to seize the terrorism issue ahead of next year's elections." Sen. Chuck Hagel, one of the few Republicans calling for the closure of the Guantanamo camp explained, "The Republican Party has won two elections on the issue of fear and terrorism. [It's] going to try again." Excerpts from the LA Times article follow: # GOP presidential candidates have jockeyed to demonstrate ...
