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 [...]
draw
That’s what I thought about the McCain-Obama debate. McCain had a few good lines, but Obama did not do any obvious damage to himself when discussing foreign policy — at least not that any casual observer would notice. I don’t think either of them changed any minds tonight. I missed the part [...]
re: remove all doubt
Interesting that my buddy Chris is willing to link to Fox News, since it’s such an unreliable source. I’m not sure why he wants to classify Fox News as part of the MSM, except that a lot more people watch FNC for their news than MSLSD or CNN. But ok…Fox News is now part [...]
re: forest for the trees
There is a difference between calling the bailouts a mistake and calling them one example of socialism. I did both. I started out by saying that I disagreed with all the bailouts, and also that I was opposed to government taking over private industry. Not sure how I could be any more clear than I [...]
conservatives and the mccain/palin ticket
There are two main issues that Christian conservatives consider important enough to threaten withholding votes from any politician who doesn’t perfectly toe the line — abortion and same-sex marriage. When evangelicals and others hold the line on principle and refuse to endorse a candidate who doesn’t agree with them on these issues, they are [...]
some advice for the mccain campaign
Stop treating Sarah as a victim. Stop being so politically correct. Let this “pig” remark die a natural death. Guess it’s too late for that now.
Take every opportunity to compare Governor Palin’s fiscal record with that of Senator Biden. She has the advantage there. There may be some doubt [...]
rnc: the end and the beginning
There were three major storylines at the RNC today that had nothing to do with Sarah Palin. The first was the ceremonial end of the Bush era. The second was Fred’s red meat speech and his stirring account of McCain’s military service. The third — Joe Lieberman incinerating those bridges between himself and the Democrats [...]
dnc: barack’s historic night
Is anyone else tired of Al Bore’s “I really won the 2000 election” canned jokes? If we could just find a way to harness the hot air coming from our former Vice President, we would have a endless source of renewable energy. Give the Democrats credit though. They have a group of skilled attack dogs [...]
dnc: shiny tie night
More of the Clinton show on day three — former President Clinton (the elected one) showed Hillary how a convention speech should be delivered. I was surprised by the massive outpouring of cheers and applause for Bill Clinton, because the whole message of the primaries was that the Democrats had moved on from the Clintons [...]
