no choice
The continuing discussion over the wisdom of Senator McCain choosing a pro-choice VP should be about more than whether conservatives would actually sit the election out. I don’t think we can afford to make that threat. Senator McCain has a long pro-life Senate record, and we have a clear indication of where he stands on [...]
say no to joe (and tom)
John McCain sure likes yanking the conservatives’ chain doesn’t he? The popular names we are hearing for McCain’s VP choice are Joe Lieberman and Tom Ridge. Dick Morris continues to push the choice of Lieberman, who has an undeserved reputation as a possible game-changer for McCain. What does Joe Lieberman bring to the table? Well…he [...]
trust no one
We can now take offshore drilling off of the table as an issue Republicans and John McCain can use to hammer the Democrats in the general election. Any serious attempt to address our energy costs by adding offshore drilling to the mix has been sabotaged by five Republicans, including my other senator Lindsey Graham. Hope [...]

So if 1.3 million dollars in contributions from big oil means that John McCain is “in the pocket of big oil”, then what does Barack’s $400,000 from big oil mean? Apparently nothing if you’re the DNC or the average Democrat. Jake Tapper also mentions that employees of big oil individually have given slightly more money [...]
mccain is jealous
Maureen Dowd, New York Times columnist and self-appointed expert on human behavior, says that’s the reason McCain has been acting so mean toward poor Barack Obama and hitting him with those frivolous ads.
She says:
Now John McCain is pea-green with envy. That’s the only explanation for why a man who prides himself on honor, a man [...]
the one
Sometimes Barack unknowingly descends into self-parody, and all John McCain and my fellow Republicans are trying to do is to help him set more realistic expectations for himself. The reason many of McCain’s ads are about Barack is because that’s the decision the voters are making here — whether Senator Obama is ready to lead [...]
frum’s unconventional idea
David Frum wrote an article last week for Opinion Journal that is worthy of discussion regarding the party conventions of the Democrats and Republicans — he suggests that they would be more useful and interesting if we got rid of the media circus and the two major presidential candidates.
He says:
But what if the journalists were [...]
demint to obama: you’ve got mail
Have I mentioned lately how much I love Senator DeMint?
Senator Jim DeMint writes to Obama requesting hearings on Afghanistan(pdf here — h/t Sister Toldjah):
Dear Senator Obama,
In the coming days, I understand you will travel to Afghanistan for the first time and visit with a few of our European partners. Like my travels to these regions, [...]
bad advice
Republicans would be wise to ignore the advice of Dick Morris, who sometimes appears to be a sleeper agent for the opposition. When he’s wrong about something — such as the Condi-Hillary matchup he wrote a book about — he is SPECTACULARLY wrong. He tries to make the case against Mitt Romney as a VP [...]
tony snow
Tony Snow has died today due to complications from his colon cancer, Fox News is reporting. This is a sad day for conservatives — who are losing one of the most passionate defenders for conservatism that we could ever have. He was never a politician, even though he worked for Bush 41 and 43. He [...]
