The Idiocy of Advocacy »

Or perhaps this essay should be entitled “Some Advocates Are Idiots.” The idiots are MoveOn.org and Americans United for Change, who according to Karl Rove, the idiot par excellence, are targeting moderate Democrats in a vain attempt to garner support for Obama’s budget proposal. I quote the Wall Street Journal:
Americans United is going [...]

Amen, Hillary! »

Yes, that Hillary. You know, the one who inspired millions of us to support her in this recent primary. We were successful, too - in any other country, she would now be the nominee.
But not in the United-Obama-Rezko-Ayers-Wright-Odinga 57 States of America!
Nope - in this country, at least one party [...]

Breaking Investigative Report: Bought and Paid For! By Nancy Pelosi »

By Dr. Lynette Long || Lynette Long blog
As Americans sat glued to their television sets watching the most hotly contested presidential primary in American history, pundits counted pledged delegates won in caucuses and primaries and discussed the highly prized superdelegates’ endorsements. Eventually it would be these superdelegates, Democratic officials, governors, and members of congress, who [...]

Obama’s Two Faces and Forked Tongue »

by Medusa and Bud White
Two-faced? Hypocritical? Or showing his true colors? Last week Barack Obama made 180 degree turns on three previous positions he had taken in order to seduce liberal Democrats. In an article entitled “For Obama, winning is everything“, Michael Tomasky writes of these changes, claiming that:
It’s acceptable - and necessary - for [...]

Obama’s Credibility Gap »

Obama continues to say one thing and do another. The Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday that Obama has continued to take money from oil executives:
Sen. Barack Obama continued accepting donations from oil company executives and employees last month even as he aired ads in which he stated he took no oil company money, [...]

A Word from A Republican Lobbyist »

I have friends who are lobbyists. Some are Republicans. Some are Democrats. I got this today from a friend on the Republican side of the aisle. I think it is instructive:
Today oil prices hit yet another record high. Food prices are soaring. In the United States, stores are beginning [...]

The Two Uses for Teflon »

So many people have called Barack Obama the “Teflon Candidate” that I don’t even need to document this description. All you have to do is go to Google and search for the phrase to see how many have repeated it. You will also find lots of people who described Rudi Giuliani with [...]

Democratic Debate: the Audacity of Misrepresentation »

Originally posted at the Buck Naked Politics blog.
________________________________________
During Tuesday’s Clinton-Obama debate, the candidates were restrained but took a few jabs at each other.  They made some policy statements, and each said that the other could beat John McCain.  Blah, blah, blah.  That’s what I figured I’d blog about.
As Barack Obama delivered the final words of [...]

Signs of Bush Tactics & Hypocrisy in Another Obama Campaign Email »

Originally posted at the Buck Naked Politics blog.
_____________________________________
In March, I objected to a fund-raising email (signed by Barack Obama), which claimed that Hillary Clinton was attacking Obama’s supporters.  The implication: she’s coming after you, personally, the way Darth Vader went after Luke.  Fostering a bellicose, with-us-or-against-us mentality worked for President Bush after 9/11, and Obama’s [...]

Tax Day Test »

From: The Clinton Campaign
Is Sen. Obama As Transparent As He Claims?
For all of Sen. Obama’s rhetoric about the need for tax return transparency, you’d think he’d have released all of his tax records. Guess again.
For weeks, Sen. Obama and his campaign relentlessly demanded that Hillary release all of her tax returns even though 20-years [...]
