Who’s Coming To Hang Out With Obama In Our White House? »

You may recall that when Bush was president, it was like pulling teeth trying to find out just who had visited the White House. Let’s just say he dug in his heels a bit on releasing that information. Maybe it had something to do with Cheney’s “secret” Energy Meeting, who knows, but it [...]

It Depends On What Your Definiton Of “Tax” Is »

In the continuation of my “Was He Lying Then, Or Is He Lying Now?” series, I have yet another video of “Then” and “Now.” I promise I’ll let go of this at some point soon, but there are just SO many things that keep coming up, especially in the Health Care arena, that I [...]

Pulling “Back The Curtain On ACORN” »

I came across an article the other day, and was really taken by it, especially as it came out in the midst of the undercover videos by James O’Keefe, four in total thus far, with more to come, which have gone far in exposing the underside of ACORN. O’Keefe’s staggering videos can be found [...]

Where Has The NY Times BEEN?? »

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this Editorial in the New York Times, “A Threat To Fair Elections“. With great excitement, I began to read, wondering if they were FINALLY going to start addressing some of the issues from this past election (not to mention the two previous ones). You [...]

Knock It Off Already »

The crap attacks on Gov. Palin, that is.
A lot has been written about this, I know, but after getting TWO crappy articles from my sister with blatantly FALSE attacks on Governor Palin, I feel compelled to say more about this. And no, I’m not referencing the assholic articles she sent, but at [...]

If Only… *Open Thread* »

I had seen this before the election. Maybe, just maybe, if this has been seen throughout the land, it may have made all the difference this year… It is compelling, moving, and, well, funny as hell:
First Openly Gay Racehorse To Compete Sunday
Oh, c’mon - it was funny! I don’t know about you, but [...]

what happened to all those *new* voters, or better yet, all those republican ones? »

Report: ‘08 turnout same as or only slightly higher than ‘04
WASHINGTON (CNN) – A new report from American University’s Center for the Study of the American Electorate concludes that voter turnout in Tuesday’s election was the same in percentage terms as it was four years ago — or at most has risen by less [...]

Post Election Quibbles and Bits »

Well, the election is over and we all need to figure out next steps. However, while we indulge in mulling, there’s stuff going on. Do you know where one of the “front lines” is in international war / finance / fraud? Computers. At least Obama now knows this first hand. [...]

Endorsements »

Let me say right up front, I was ADAMANTLY opposed to invading Iraq. And I mean, ADAMANT. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, and we NEVER should have invaded a sovereign nation unprovoked. General Powell ginned up support from the UN based on a pack of lies. Bush took the [...]

Fiddling while Rome Burns or Millions for TV Commercials instead of Books »

In the latest round of economic obscenities from Barack Obama, his campaign is reported to be spending a record $230 million on television advertising, including Wednesday prime-time commercials on CBS, NBC and Fox.
The three 30-minute ads or infomercials cost Obama nearly $1 million each. This is the first time mark the [...]

How Much »

Do you think the media is getting paid to push Obama on us? I think Tony Blankley wondered the same thing in his article, “Media Campaigns Hard for Obama.” He states:
While they have been liberal and blinkered in their worldview for decades, in 2007-08, for the first time, the major media consciously are [...]

I Just Knew That Obama Would End Up Stiffing Harry and Nancy »

Poor Harry Reid. Poor Nancy Pelosi. They had those BIG dollar signs in their eyes whenever they gazed on their big new cash cow Barack Obama. They imagined the millions and millions he’d rake in, not just for his own race, but to finance all of their Senate and House races. That [...]

Erosion »

216 for McCain-Palin, 217 for Obama-Biden, 105 Toss Ups: Obama’s lead in the electoral college has officially eroded. Here is Survey USA’s report about the state of electoral affairs in Washington state:

“Obama Implodes in Georgia” »

One of the arguments many Obama supporters made against Hillary was that she did not support Howard Dean’s 50-state strategy. Obama embraced the 50-state strategy to garner the support of the netroots and other activists. In a mydd diary posted this January, Obama, with his usual humility, was quoted as saying:
I think that we’re shifting [...]

Reuters: McCain Surge Attributable To “White Women Voters” »

Hey Barack! It’s the Women, stupid!
Too late! We already know what you are.
But then, like Donna Brazile said, you don’t need us.
Remember when you made another Obama Fantasy Remark about how you were SURE you could get all the Hillary Clinton voters to vote for you? Bzzzzzzzz! Wrong!

“The Hidden Campaign” »

Today, there was a piece in the Washington Post on electronic voting machines, The Hidden Campaign:Ohio Voting Machines Contained Programming Error That Dropped Votes. It was not positive, I’ll tell ya. Turns out there WAS something hinky going on with those Diebold machines. Oh, and they don’t go by that name anymore, just so you [...]

CNN: “Polls show bad news for Obama” »

Only days before the beginning of the Democratic National Convention, CNN announced today the results of a poll showing Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain is rapidly shrinking :
In what could be an ominous sign for Barack Obama just days before he is formally named the Democratic presidential nominee, a new CNN poll of polls [...]

Hillary Backers Want Convention Vote »

Brenda Krause is tired of fearmongering among the Democrats. She said this about unity in the party:
“I’m not going to be coerced into something I don’t believe in,” said Krause, who lives in Colorado Springs and owns a real estate office. “That makes me less unified. If they let me have my voice, I’ll feel [...]

Oh, Where to START??? »

Good grief - evidently, this is what I get for going to sleep at night. All KINDS of stuff has come up about Obamessiah. I scarcely know where to begin, and others are already writing beautifully about this at No Quarter, so I don’t want to be TOO redundant, but WTF about Obama wanting to [...]

That’s Not What I Said: Obama Flips On NASA »

For Immediate Release: From the John McCain Campaign.
ARLINGTON, VA — Today, in Florida, Barack Obama once again demonstrated that his words really don’t matter. When discussing NASA programs, Barack Obama said that “it’s still being reported” that he would delay the NASA Constellation Program to pay for his early education program. Unfortunately for Barack Obama, [...]
