Say It Ain’t So, Hillary, Say It Ain’t So! »

(Bumped up from 10/15)
Okay, I admit it - I have tried to be in total denial about the following interview of Secretary of State Clinton and Ann Curry. My aunt sent me the pertinent quote earlier this week, and I just didn’t want to believe it. I still don’t want to believe it, [...]

Say It Ain’t So, Hillary, Say It Ain’t So! »

Okay, I admit it - I have tried to be in total denial about the following interview of Secretary of State Clinton and Ann Curry. My aunt sent me the pertinent quote earlier this week, and I just didn’t want to believe it. I still don’t want to believe it, to be honest. [...]

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

Blackwater (Xe) Should Roll No More »

Many of us were up in arms that Blackwater, a private “security” force was sent to Iraq, and New Orleans, while being paid handsomely with our tax dollars. There were a number of concerns with Blackwater, particularly how they were operating in Iraq with impunity, accused of being a bunch of cowboys shooting up [...]

sanford saga - i’m more interested in who brought him down…. »

Love letters between Mark Sanford and his *secret Latin lady lover* were printed yesterday in The State. The South Carolina paper reported that they have been holding onto the emails for six months, and were provided by an anonymous source.
Who is that source? (And how gross is that to print
personal emails like that? [...]

Barack Hussein Obama Plays the Muslim Card »

To get elected in a Christian country, Barack Obama insisted he was born and raised a devoted Christian. But put him on a world stage and his craving for global adulation compels him to come clean and admit he has done that muslim thing. Let’s be frank, Barack’s burning ambition to gain military [...]

Michelle is NOT “arm candy.” She … »

(coughing, sputtering) … Michelle will … (gasping) … she will … (choking) … Michelle will … (reaching for phone) … Michelle … (fingers trailing off phone before 911 can be dialed) … Meeeee … (lapsing into unconsciousness, seeing a white light surrounding Hillary dressed in a tasteful cream-colored suit at an official tea with both [...]

Both Candidates Briefed by White House But Cocky Obama Sees It as “A Smooth Transition” »

This guy deserves to go down in flames by one state and one vote on November 4th just for spite.
White House staff have met with both presidential candidates and their senior staffs to brief them on possible terrorist threats and current National Security issues between election day and January. Vetting of potential presidential staff members [...]

Progressives, Socialists, and Marxists - Updated (Bottom of Page) »

What’s in a name, anyway? Well, plenty, actually. Names, or labels, are often self-identifiers. That is certainly the case in the political realm where labels of “Socialist” or “Marxist” or even “Progressive” carries a lot of weight, and baggage.
Hold the phone, let me back up here.
The other night when my partner [...]

Senator Clinton Calls for Immediate Action to Halt Market Crisis »

SusanUnPC’s Note: Even my hardcore Republican relatives fervently wish that Hillary were running against McCain because they know that she could address this crisis while they have no faith — none — that Obama will know what to do or make the right choices. Additionally, Ricki Liebermann’s daily newsletter quotes our friend Alegre at [...]

Elderblunder: Another DNC Clanger »

Between Donna Brazile’s bizarre declaration earlier this year that Democrats no longer need to rely on older people (among others) who make up the party’s traditional base, and the Obama campaign’s near-exclusive focus on the youth vote, the DNC and the Obama camp may well have made another gargantuan misstep.
Maybe some seniors were unable [...]

It’s Not the Economy, It’s the Arrogance »

In Monday’s Washington Post, Obama’s chief strategist, David Axelrod, is quoted as saying, “I think one of the things driving the national polls is that the red states are redder.”
Is Axelrod right? Could it be McCain has energized his base but that Obama remains ahead?
Using Electoral-Vote.com’s numbers, I created a list of [...]

Barack Obama is not the “map changer” CNN and all the discredited Democratic blogs claimed he would be; he is a supercilious underachiever who promises to color the entire nation red, not blue. He is tied with McCain in Minnesota and Pennsylvania; he is trailing McCain in Ohio AND MICHIGAN; he is [...]

Reverend Wright Is Reverend Wrong! »

The New York Post learned today that Reverend Wright is actually Reverend Wrong. Apparently our “pious” Reverend Wright — who was the pastor and confidante of Barack Obama for 20+ years, baptized both of his daughters, married him and Michelle, and “blessed” their mansion — has been carrying on with a younger woman in Texas. [...]

A Little Recap »

OK, so three out of four of my siblings are Obama people. I don’t know about the fourth - I don’t think he has decided yet. My mother, a STAUNCH Hillary supporter, who is furious with the DNC (and has told them so because of the vote theft, etc.) says she doesn’t know where she [...]

“Sarah Palin Can Have It All” »

As a lifetime feminist, one who has marched and run for Equal Rights, who is Pro-Choice, who has escorted women through Operation Rescue protesters at Planned Parenthood, and counteracted demonstrations by Operation Rescue, I have to tell you, I cannot believe the vitriol coming out from the Left Wing regarding Sarah Palin, on a number [...]

McCain-Palin Pull Even, Change the Narrative, and Obama Employs Sexism »

Sarah Palin’s speech on Wednesday night might be the defining moment of the General Election. According to CBS’s new poll, Obama’s post-convention bounce has evaporated and the race is again tied. It’s likely that McCain will pull ahead with his own convention bounce. One of few sane netroots bloggers, Jerome Armstrong, sifting through the CBS [...]

odingo ate my savior! odingo ate my savior! »

Odinga ate my saviour! appeared on our horizons with claims he is Obama’s cousin in a BBC news report in January of this year, two years after Obama visited his father’s homeland.

Backing Into The Presidency »

According to Associated Press,
Democratic candidate Barack Obama on Saturday backed away from rival John McCain’s challenge for a series of joint appearances, agreeing only to the standard three debates in the fall.
Odd after Senator Obama’s earlier statement to McCain that he would meet anytime, anywhere to debate “the real issues.”
In summer, stumping [...]

Obama Your Failure As Head Of The Subcommittee On European Affairs Again! »

Major Eric Egland, a major in the United States Air Force, former lead intelligence specialist in Iraq focusing on terrorist networks and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), in Allies Obama Overlooked, once again reminds us of Obama’s uninspiring inexperience. He even says that Obama wouldn’t have overlooked our allies if he had held just one meeting, [...]
