debate thoughts
This was Senator McCain’s strongest debate yet. He came out swinging, and it was great to see that. He was able to take advantage of Obama’s conversation with Joe the Plumber and to make the case that Obama’s tax plan is the wrong solution to the country’s financial struggles. The whole discussion on taxes should [...]
that explains it
So we were all wondering why McCain was hesitant to attack Obama on ACORN. Now we know. Grrr.
Via Michelle Malkin, a February 2006 press release showing that McCain and ACORN shared space at an amnesty rally:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Major Rally in Miami to Support Comprehensive Immigration Reform
Senator John McCain and many others to [...]
frustration
The slumping economy has become a primary contributing factor to McCain’s current struggles. McCain hasn’t helped matters by fumbling his first response to it. He has allowed Barack Obama to win the argument on taxes, and it certainly doesn’t help matters when every single ad we’re seeing on TV talks about Barack’s middle class tax [...]
why it all matters
While it would be wise for Senator McCain to focus on an economic message — and that must be his first priority – he should not ignore the influence of Ayers and ACORN on Barack Obama’s political development. Because Senator Obama doesn’t have much on his resume before becoming a US Senator, we have to [...]
where we stand
A couple thoughts on the debate — the format was awful, but I expected more of Tom Brokaw. We didn’t get any new information out of this debate (other than McCain’s call for more bailouts, but I’ll get to that). Neither candidate was able to challenge his opponent’s comments in any depth, and this [...]
the debate
The McCain campaign has to be pleased with the way Sarah Palin performed in the debate Thursday night. She went toe-to-toe with a Senate lifer. She was able to recover from those unflattering interviews, and she was also able to get a couple good shots in at Joe Biden in the process. She [...]
kill the pig, rescue the taxpayer
Those who are still pushing this absolutely-must-have-right-now-or-the-world-will-explode “emergency rescue plan” aren’t all that concerned with sticking to the $700 billion price tag. Is it too much to ask from this Congress that we have a straight up-and-down vote on whether we should bail out private industry? Why yes it is. They just couldn’t resist adding [...]
debating biden and palin
Apparently Gwen Ifill’s writing a very complimentary book about our Democratic nominee for President, Barack Obama. No bias here. Move along citizen. Why in the world didn’t the McCain campaign know about this? Are they all fast asleep over there? With all the credit we can give that campaign for some of those clever web [...]
more on the “rescue plan”
One day after the House Republicans, with the help of a significant number of Democrats, stopped this disaster of a federal bailout, the world hasn’t collapsed. The Dow rebounded a little today after its terrible day yesterday. I still think those who voted against this bill did the right thing. I am, however, unsympathetic to [...]
more reservations
There’s now a possibility that our Congress may pass a slightly modified version of Bush’s socialist bailout. I guess we should be grateful that the House Republicans were allowed some input in the current draft, because it could be much worse than it is. However, it’s not clear that the House Republicans got enough of [...]
