Coming Out Of The Woodwork »

About what happened to the Hillary Delegates back in 2008. I guess it’s better late than never, though the damage Obama has done to this country is immeasurable. I imagine we know only the tip of the iceberg at this point – the Nancy Pelosi philosophy of finding out just what has been done after [...]

Rocky Mountain High »

Well, Obama got back to Washington, DC after his long weekend away in Chicago. Then he went wheels up to go to Denver, CO to sign the $787 billion dollar Porkulus bill. Why Denver? Because CO was SO helpful to him during the Campaign, and that’s where he got to play Greek Temple dress up. [...]

The New DNC Looks Like… »

The old DNC – nothing new here. The GLBT community continues to be treated like the proverbial red-headed stepchild. I bring this up because of the following comment left at my blog the other day: Thank God I found your blog! I feel like I’ve been living a real life version of invasion of the [...]

Welcome To The Real World! »

Yes, it seems that the chickens are starting to come home to roost for some Obama worshippers, uh, I mean, supporters. Those of us using the analytical portion of our brains knew that Obama’s hype was too good to be true, but apparently, these workers for Obama are learning a harsh reality – he used [...]

Democratic Speechwriter Rejects Party and Votes McCain/Palin »

Washington D.C. speechwriter Wendy Button aptly says So Long, Democrats, in her piece appearing in The Daily Beast. Ms. Button has written for Senators John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, as well as other national and international leaders.

ACORN Continues the Reign of Terror in Missouri »

This weekend in St. Louis, Barack Obama attracted an estimated 100,000 people to a rally near the Arch grounds. I am wondering how many of those adoring throngs would be in the fold if they understood, really understood, that he had stolen the nomination from Hillary Clinton by committing massive caucus fraud, threatening the delegates [...]

We discussed the offshoot watchdog organization that he and Prof. Heidi Li Feldman have formed: Democrats For Principle Before Party, designed with the goal of taking back the Democratic Party from corrupt elements that pushed Senator Obama’s nomination.

Holding the DNC’s Feet to the Fire: An Interview with Marc Rubin of The Denver Group »

In the face of some powerful Democratic fundraisers/supporters of Senator Clinton and even Democratic legislators now boldly endorsing Senator McCain, it is clear that the wheels may be coming off the Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Dean/Brazile bandwagon. That people would abjectly refuse to support the Presidential nominee and, you should pardon the expression, start batting for the other team, [...]

Hillary Is Not My Mother »

Judging by both press and internet commentary this past week, we seem to want Hillary to literally assume the mantle of Joan of Arc once again … Some want her out front and center railing against sexism to defend Sarah Palin: ‘Hillary’s legacy is in jeopardy!
