Whether as the result of crony capitalism, monied interests calling the shots in Washington, the myriad broken promises of politicians of both parties, millions of Americans find themselves “Politically Homeless.” According to ABC News’ Amy Bingham, an organization called Americans Elect Aims to Bypass Parties with Online Presidential Nomination. Neither party is anxious to undo [...]

Friday, John Phillips of the LA Times ruminated on the method by which New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will be “courted” and drafted to run for President in 2012. Christie has stated repeatedly that he is not ready for the office, will not be induced to enter the race and is committed to fulfilling his [...]

~ Bumped Up ~ That’s the question raised by David Fletcher of the LGBT Mentoring Project of the Learn Act Build Program at the LA Gay and Lesbian Center. Mr. Fletcher’s findings have been documented in this article in the LA Times, Behind the numbers of Prop. 8: It’s crucial to understand the data about [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

* A Great Post, Bumped Up * Colleen O’Connor, San Diego News Network, penned a fun article: King Obama v. Queen Clinton — Check or Checkmate? Her thesis is that the patient “Queen” is slowly but surely vanquishing the foes who betrayed her for Obama last year. I have another theory. Political operatives who backed [...]

~ 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” [...]

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! Susan Estrich today published just such a piece telling Senator John Edwards what he ought to be doing. Here’s the long and the [...]

(bumped up from yesterday) Huffington Post featured an exclusive excerpt from Wolffe’s book on Obama’s ascent to the Presidency. You can run over and see it for yourselves if you feel so inclined, I will not link to it. Much as I would wish otherwise, I must express bottomless contempt for the continuously disrespectful way [...]

(Bumped up from yesterday evening.) In his article Obama morphs into old rival Clinton, Politico’s Alex Conant posits that all Obama’s campaign promises which distinguished him from Hillary have now been thrown out the window: A year ago today, with returns rolling in from the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, the late Tim Russert so [...]

My good buddy, SusanUnPC (No Quarter), told me about this lovely story. I figured since I ended up writing about Hillary Clinton yesterday, I might as well continue the theme and write about her today, too. Oh, who am I kidding – I could write about her EVERY day. She is the Secretary of State, [...]

Yep, Tim Kaine, the anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-stem cell Chair of the DNC is going to reform the Democratic Nominating Process. And wait until you see just who the great reformers are [...]

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 [...]
