Take in and digest each of these, will you? And then do tell us how you react to each? Below the fold, you’re going to learn that Robert Redford hates poor people and is a racist, and that one CNN reporter felt compelled to slam “Joe the Plumber” with a stern lecture.

A Perfect Storm? »

By Bud White on Nov 6, 2008 in African Americans, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Economy, Housing & Housing Crisis, Joe The Plumber, McCain/Palin 2008, Political Strategy, Ronald Reagan | 109 Comments

Our reluctant allies on the Right believe McCain was struck by the perfect storm. McCain’s loss was less about campaign strategy failures than an incredibly unpopular president of the same party and an economic October surprise which underscored his Party’s difficulties. It really was about Change. From the National Review:
1) 2008′S OUTCOME AND THE [...]

1.2 Million Cubans in Miami Support John McCain and this Hillary Clinton Supporter Does, Too »

By Joan Of Art on Nov 4, 2008 in Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, Democratic Party, Economy, FISA, Flip Flopping, Florida, Hillary Clinton, Joe The Plumber, John McCain, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., Tony Rezko | 254 Comments

I just returned from working in Miami Dade as the coordinator for Citizens for McCain. As a former Hillary Clinton supporter who volunteered for her all over the country, to many, I know it can seem like a stretch to have crossed over to the other side.
But as I reviewed the history of the [...]

McCain May Catch a Case of Pennsylvania »

First, I want to address those supposed internal poll numbers that have McCain ahead in PA, MI, NJ and closing in on CA. I have not been able to verify those numbers. They could be true, they might not be. I said back during the primaries that a Pampers nomination would put PA, MI, and [...]

The Best Reason Not to Vote for Senator Obama; or, Deconstructing His Great Lie »

By Ani on Nov 2, 2008 in Backtrack Obama, Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Chicago politics, Current Affairs, Democratic Nomination, Democratic Party, Electability, Elitism, Joe Biden, Joe The Plumber, John Kerry, John McCain | 184 Comments

I am delighted to see that Senator McCain currently has the wind at his back. Otherwise, this country stands at the precipice of one of the biggest electoral mistakes imaginable – making the singularly unqualified Senator Obama Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces and leader of the free world. By his own [...]

Conference Call: McCain to Outspend Obama in Final Week »

By Bud White on Oct 31, 2008 in Advertising, Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Joe The Plumber, John McCain, McCain/Palin 2008 | 152 Comments

Here are my notes from the McCain/Palin conference call that ended moments ago. Rick Davis, McCain’s Campaign Manager, said the following:

Watch for an unprecedented velocity of McCain TV ads this final week
Obama was spending $40 million a week during housing crisis, he’s now to normal levels
They will be spending $10 million more than Obama on [...]

[UPDATED] Ohio Official’s $5,000 Donation to Obama Raises Questions about Investigation into Joe the Plumber »

According to today’s edition of the Columbus Dispatch, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services’s checks into Joe the Plumber’s confidential records were more extensive than previously admitted: not only did they perform searches in order to determine whether or not Joe the Plumber owed child support; they also searched tax records and welfare [...]

Is Obama Seeking to Spread the Wealth à la Karl Marx? »

By Matthew Weaver on Oct 28, 2008 in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Joe Biden, Joe The Plumber, John McCain | 34 Comments

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 [...]

I made the mistake recently of attempting to debate the election with some buddies of mine, lifelong Democrats who, though they were fans of Hillary’s and voted for her, now have been assimilated into the Borg that is Obama. Well, he’s a Democrat, right???
If he’s a Democrat, I’ll pass. Thanks.
And since [...]

By Larry Johnson on Oct 22, 2008 in ABC News, Advertising, Air America Radio, Barack Obama, Bush/Cheney, CNN, Current Affairs, Fox News, Joe The Plumber, MSM, Media, Media Bias, NBC, Sarah Palin | 95 Comments

The disaster of the Bush Administration and the tarnished legacy of the Republican Congress would normally spell doom for the Republicans in the November election. But then you learn that the Democratic Congress is held in lower esteem than even the Bush Administration. I agree that the trend lines for McCain do not [...]

Is the Shameful, Race-Baiting Joe Biden McCain’s Secret Weapon? »

By Ani on Oct 20, 2008 in ABC News, ACORN, Arugula (Elitism), Backfire, Barack Obama, Bill Ayers, Campaign promises, Joe Biden, Joe The Plumber, John McCain, Nadhmi Auchi, Voter Fraud | 222 Comments

Joe Biden has done it again. And this time he has outdone himself.
ABC News’ Matthew Jaffe Reports:
As Election Day looms just over two weeks away, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said Saturday that with Republicans firing “vicious” and “dangerous” attacks at Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., voters are “having a difficult time” opting for the man who [...]

First, from Chicago’s John Kass who writes like a real, high calibre newspaper columnist should write for a top newspaper (h/t Andy):
The eyes of Joe the Plumber stare sightlessly from the media pike that his head has been impaled upon. A few crows fly over. As crows are curious, they become interested in the offering [...]

obama, fisa, and the assault on joe the plumber »

By American Girl in Italy on Oct 18, 2008 in 1st Amendment, Barack Obama, FISA, Flip Flopping, Joe The Plumber, John McCain, Media Bias, Media Handling of Story | 139 Comments

As I watched the assault on Joe the Plumber the last couple of days, launched by Obama, Biden, the media, and Obama supporters made me think about Obama and his vote on the FISA bill.
Does everyone remember the outrage by Obama supporters, when Obama pulled a massive flip flop and voted for the FISA bill?
Well, [...]

Are You Joe the Plumber? »

By Pat Racimora on Oct 18, 2008 in Joe The Plumber, John McCain | 108 Comments

The real “Joe the Plumber” has a few more to go on his 15 minutes of fame, although Joe is transitioning into a symbol that represents a lot of Americans, especially those who own small businesses. That symbol may stick around for a while.
John McCain was fast to pick up on Joe’s plight. Now [...]

Or beer … or sparkling water (I’d kill for some San Pellegrino about now).
Earlier, Truthteller e-mailed all the NoQ writers with the Question Of The Day: “Why is Joe the Plumber subjected to more media scrutiny than Tony Rezko?” What a question. Here are John McCain’s remarks to a crowd today, via Drudge, [...]

Joe The Plumber, You Should Have Never Questioned Comrade Obama »

I’m sitting here thinking that ACORN is committing in-your-face voter registration fraud all over the country,
Barack Obama paid ACORN more than $800,000 via one of their hundreds of subsidiaries operating out of the same address. The purpose: To “Get Out The Vote”. He trained early little ACORNS when they were just little nuts in Chicago–and [...]
