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 [...]
cut it out
So says Barack to the rumor mongers: At a press avail in Monroe, Mich., Barack Obama on Palin: “Back off these kinds of stories. “I have said before, and I will repeat again: People’s families are off-limits,” Obama said. “And people’s children are especially off-limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no [...]
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 [...]
it’s biden
Did you really think that Barack would tell you his pick before the media found out? That’s some kind of faith, I must say. Biden’s hardly the most exciting choice, and I can understand why some of you may be disappointed. But it does change one calculation by McCain — he can’t pick a VP [...]
sense and nonsense
Guess I don’t know much about the VP selection process — because I thought that Obama would have to pick one of Dick Morris’s boring white guys (Evan Bayh) to bring some balance to the ticket. He still could pick Bayh or Tim “The Eyebrow” Kaine to keep this team from getting too much buzz [...]
dnc math
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, [...]
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 [...]
the ‘s’ word
Investor’s Business Daily is brave enough to go there — calling Barack Obama’s Global Poverty Act suspiciously similar to a government redistribution of US taxpayer wealth. Well, technically they use the ‘s’ word. Socialism. That’s a heavy charge, and it’s one that needs to be backed up with specific examples. This op-ed makes a convincing [...]
