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 and I [...]

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 Alegre’s [...]

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 red [...]

Impending Electoral Disaster: NY, NJ, MN, PA, OH, MI »

New York New Jersey Minnesota Pennsylvania Ohio McCain-Palin 41 45 45 47 48 Obama-Biden 46 48 45 47 45 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 [...]

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. After the Standard in Kenya was burned, Obama decided to offer criticism of Kenya and the current president. Earlier this year discord broke [...]

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, [...]

The Challenge »

Dang! I know I have to vote for one of the two presumptive nominees. But, never has my choice been so difficult. Both candidates give me great pause for concern, and I feel like the DNC has abandoned the party I signed up for years ago. So, while I was moaning and groaning about having [...]

A Portrait of Obama Turning Gray »

You can almost set your calendar by it. Our Presidents’ hair turns gray while in office. The cause has got to be that unrelenting, nerve-racking stress that automatically accompanies the most grueling job on the planet. Leading the free world in times of acute crisis both here and abroad is a 180 from jogging along [...]

The Panderer Forgets the Panzers »

Thursday, Barack Obama took another opportunity to offer hopeful generalities and feel good propaganda to the German people and to the world, and he chose to do so at the foot of the Victory Column in Berlin. This monument, known as the Siegessäule, is rife with Nazi symbolism. From Spiegel online: “The Siegessäule in Berlin [...]
