Here is Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s introduction of Governor Palin in Tampa, Florida on Saturday. Yes, it’s 11 minutes long, but this speech by the proud Republican, and one of the hosts of ABC’s The View, is worth every minute.

Several weeks ago Barack Obama smoothly explained to “Joe the Plumber” that he wanted to spread Joe’s wealth around (See Barack Obama Meets “Joe the Plumber”). He advocated taking the wealth of successful Americans and giving it to others as the government saw fit. Barack Obama introduced a heretofor unseen side of his ideology—Marxism. From [...]

Senator Barack Obama compared post-World War II America with Hitler’s Nazi Germany in a 2001 discussion of the lead-up to the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954). While Jim Crow and all that went with segregation of African-Americans is a bloody stain on our national history, comparing those acts to the [...]

[If you heard Truthteller's radio show tonight, you know about this hideous assault on Joe The Plumber. Why this isn't a national scandal, and the lead story on ALL media outlets, is beyond me. Also: I'm popping up here to add that, since we're changing servers again, this post may disappear and reemerge, but your [...]

Obama reneged on his commitment to use public financing and has gone on to raise over $600 million dollars, including a reported $150 million just last month. Obama claims that much of the record-breaking donations come from small donors, often via his Web site. The symbolism of both the size and number of those donations [...]

The Obama news media was all a’twitter over the cost of Governor Palin’s hair styling and make-up today, the obvious follow-on to their critique of her wardrobe that was preceded by pictures of her ankles and high-heels. I’m sure this all makes great fodder for their reporting but even as a guy, I find this [...]

On the first day … a partridge in a pear tree (said to represent Jesus Christ). Donna Brazile, Howard Dean, Louis Farrakhan, and Oprah Winfrey gave us The One, The Messiah. Chris Matthews got a tingle up his leg. On the second day … two turtle doves (said to represent the Old and New Testaments). [...]

The media in general would have you believe that Governor Palin does not talk with reporters (usually with the suggestion that she’s clueless or worse). CBS News’ Scott Conroy writes in his CBS blog From The Road rather differently that among the four candidates it is actually Governor Palin who is the most accessible. Surprise, [...]

I about choked when I listened to Minister Louis Farrakhan’s exhortation that Barack Obama IS The Messiah. Caution: Put down any sharp instruments and hot liquids. Sit down before watching and have a barf bag handy.

(bumped by SusanUnPC at 11:11 p.m. ET) Edited and updated at 8:50 p.m. ET. Did you know that Barack Obama was affiliated with a leading national socialist party? Barack Obama didn’t include in his 2008 resume that he entered politics in the mid-1990s endorsed by Chicago’s leading socialists. This just keeps getting better and better. [...]

Registering voters is a quadrennial challenge for presidential election campaigns. It has taken on new meaning with the national voter registration laws and, especially, with the advent of the Internet. Barack Obama’s campaign offers on their Web site a one-stop opportunity for voters to register, update their registration, or to re-register. The registration process on [...]
