the why candidate
Jon Huntsman. Why is he running for President? The groups of voters he would appeal to already have several candidates who would satisfy their requirements. Are there enough of those Republican voters who would choose him over the other moderates in the field? I don’t see how he manages to get the attention of primary [...]
aftermath
The time has already come for assessing blame and naming those at fault for the McCain loss. It didn’t take long for anonymous McCain staffers to trash Sarah Palin (without having the guts to put their names on the allegations). That takes real courage, doesn’t it? The debate isn’t over Sarah Palin’s qualifications or knowledge [...]
history
Congratulations to President-elect Barack Obama. It’s truly a historic achievement, and I’m proud of my country for finally breaking this barrier that has been in place for a very long time. He ran a great campaign, and he was able to blunt all the Republican arguments against him without much effort. There will be more [...]
for entertainment purposes only
Oh no… Obama is so much like Bush!!! This link to similarities between President Bush and Barack Obama’s rhetoric / record is posted merely for the expected leftist meltdown it would cause. Of course, the writer also notes when Obama has changed his position to mirror that of the Bush administration. Good stuff. For the [...]
the quotable mark steyn
From the Corner: This is an amazing race. The incumbent president has approval ratings somewhere between Robert Mugabe and the ebola virus. The economy is supposedly on the brink of global Armageddon. McCain has only $80 million to spend, while Obama’s burning through $600 mil as fast as he can, and he doesn’t really need to [...]
some thoughts on the infomercial
Since I didn’t watch it, I will leave it to others to analyze the content. I would just like to point out that no one does political infomercials like Ross Perot. The accent, the big ears, and the pie charts were very entertaining, and that’s where the American people got the real Straight Talk before [...]
parker, palin, and our flawed republican nominee
If you’re wondering why more conservative Republican women aren’t volunteering to run for higher office, or even for state races, witness the attempted destruction of Sarah Palin. How many other women could handle such abuse with the grace and class that Sarah has shown throughout this process? There are fair criticisms of her resume, just [...]
vote for fred
If only Fred Thompson had decided to make a serious effort to run for President at the beginning, we might not be stuck with McCain now. So thanks Fred. Now that Fred has zero chance of being President himself, he tries his best to inspire the people for McCain and to make the argument McCain [...]
average joe
McCain has a new ad continuing with the Joe the Plumber theme. Here it is. Personally, I think the original was much more effective. Something I’ve been wondering lately though — isn’t it possible that an alarming number of people have already bought into the myth that everybody benefits when Barack Obama spreads our wealth [...]
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 [...]
