GOP Adds Conservatives to Convention
As we've reported for weeks, many conservatives were unhappy that liberal Republicans -- such as Republican Michael Bloomberg -- were dominating the lineup of speakers at the GOP convention next month. Now an expanded schedule includes such conservative favorites as Sens. Sam Brownback and Rick Santorum, along with some middle-of-the-roaders.

The additions announced today:
The bigoted media establishment has unwittingly honored Brownback, a Kansan, by branding him a "hard-core conservative," "hard-charging conservative" and "hard-line conservative ... one of Newt Gingrich's foot soldiers." Sounds great!
Though Santorum and President Bush angered many by promoting liberal Sen. Arlen Specter over conservative challenger Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania's GOP primary, the senator's credentials are otherwise excellent.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, a doctor, will provide brilliant contrast to the health-care-destroying greed of zillionaire trial lawyer John Edwards.
Sen. Elizabeth Dole will demonstrate why North Carolina has one U.S. senator who could actually win re-election.
Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert helped pass the No Child Left Behind law, a severe blow to the union-dependent Democrats' usual policy of leaving every child behind.
Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, a rising star, is one of the party's best hopes of toppling radical Sen. Barbara Mikulski. Bonus: Although she claims to be Catholic, he actually is.
Rep. Heather Wilson of New Mexico is the first female veteran in U.S. history elected to Congress, Republican National Committee says. Bonus: Her pro-family work has enraged Bush-hating shock jock Howard Stern.
Rep. Anne Northup of Kentucky, like Hastert and Wilson, has focused on reform of America's failed government school monopolies. Bonus: The Democrat hate group that calls itself NAACP has singled her out for its venom.
Erika Harold, Miss America 2003, focuses on preventing youth violence and bullying.
But hey, the Democrats have Jimmy Carter, Al Gore and Teddy Kennedy.
