Bill Clinton: Hillary’s Albatross Or Her Bridge To The Presidency? »

I’ve always been amazed at how the Democrats cannibalize their former heroes. Every Democrat who has failed in their bids for office or re-election for major office have been repudiated, ridiculed, and forbidden to run again for the races they lost. John Kerry, Al Gore, Michael Dukakis, Walter Mondale, Jimmy Carter, George McGovern… all were [...]

Well, Are They Rising Or Not? »

The waters, that is. Now, I know that Obama claimed when the nomination was given to him by the DNC (cue angelic choirs), “this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal…” Oh, how I wish I was kidding, but that is just one of [...]

Are Democrats Finally Getting A Clue? »

~ Bumped Up ~ Yes, and no. They realize they need to change how the primaries are conducted, yet don’t see any real problems with how the last one went. I have written about the rampant Caucus fraud ad nauseum, but apparently, the DNC missed it. Even though the Clinton Campaign told them about it. [...]

Last night, Hannity of FOX News had two female panelists, both conservatives, discussing Sarah Palin’s new book, her great success selling 300,000 copies the first day and the derangement syndrome of the left in trashing her and calling her “dangerous.” Obama’s campaign arm, Organizing for America, is looking to raise $500,000 to combat this “dangerous” [...]

John Edwards Is Told Where To Get Off… »

I would not typically publish a further smack-down to a smack-down. But every now and then, something is written that is so spot on, it requires further highlight and big hooting Brava!

(bumped up from yesterday) Huffington Post featured an exclusive excerpt from Wolffe’s book on Obama’s ascent to the Presidency.

Hillary Back In The Day »

My good buddy, SusanUnPC (No Quarter), told me about this lovely story.

What’s In A Name »

A lot. One thing we learned from the Bush Administration – make up a name for a bill or act that is diametrically opposite of what the act wil actually do. Then, talk it up! I am referring to the Employee Free Choice Act, the brainchild of the large unions in this country, who paid [...]
