Politics: Haley Barbour: GOP isn’t winning elections; Dems are losing them

  • We have to understand they’re not saying ‘Hey, we love you Republicans,’ but, ‘We’re not satisfied with this and will give you guys a chance.’
  • Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour • Explaining his reasoning of why the GOP will probably win big tomorrow: They’ll win in spite of themselves. The divisions this country has fostered over the last two years totally hint at it, and it’s something that GOP-leaning pollster Scott Rasmussen agrees with Barbour on: This election is a referendum on the Democrats, not a show of support to the Republicans. They have to earn it. source

World: Latest Iraqi terror attack aimed squarely at Catholics

  • 57 were killed during the standoff in a Baghdad Catholic Church
  • 75 more people were wounded in the attack
  • 17 of those killed were Iraqi security forces
  • two of those killed were priests source
  • » An awful end for many: Beyond the fact that terrorists attacked a Catholic Church in Baghdad, perhaps the worst fact about this whole situation is that many of the killed were hostages – most were killed or wounded after explosives were set off in the church. And they were killed because of their faith. The pope has already denounced the attack, which the Islamic State of Iraq took credit for with a note on their Web site: “The Mujahedeens raided a filthy nest of the nests of polytheism, which has been long taken by the Christians of Iraq as a headquarter for a war against the religion of Islam and they were able by the grace of God and His glory to capture those were gathered in and to take full control of all its entrances.”
