One of the political positives of 2008 has been a willingness for some on one side of the aisle to give fair hearing to those on on the other. This was accomplished by none other than Nancy Pelosi, Donna Brazile et al telling those of us not willing to get on board with the new [...]

The past few weeks, okay, MONTHS, have been fairly contentious: fights on Capitol Hill about Health Care Reform; the race card being played again, by a former president, no less; heightened concerns by those in the know about Afghanistan; our children being indoctrinated; and Hollywood Elite calling for the freedom of a convicted rapist and [...]

By now, most everyone has heard that President Carter claimed people who don’t support Obama do so because they are racists. Wow. Obviously, this is shocking on the face of it. If you have not heard this, the video is below. I also recommend two very good posts on this topic, one by pm317, and [...]

These are some of the stories I read this week. There seems to be a new tone emerging in the media, wrt Obama. I don’t really have anything to add to these stories – they are pretty much to the point, and quite interesting. I included a snippet from each story, but recommend reading them [...]

We are only sixteen days into the age of the new messiah and his angel wings are in danger of falling off. Consider, for example, that The One promised a new way of doing business in Washington but is responsible for managing the vetting of prospective nominees that green-lights not one but three tax cheats.

A recent e-mail making the rounds suggests that Barack Obama’s superior education and intelligence mandates his choice as president over John McCain. There are many things wrongs with using a single category as a decisional tool for a job so complicated as the presidency. Surely one’s experience, character, judgment displayed in the past, leadership qualities, [...]

Carter: McCain ‘milking’ POW time Former president Jimmy Carter called Republican presidential candidate John McCain a “distinguished Naval officer,” but said the Arizona senator has been “milking every possible drop of advantage” from his time served as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

Tonight I have the honor of interviewing Bob Shrum. His book, No Excuses, is just out in paperback and it’s candy for the political junkie. If you love politics, you’ll love this book. I’ll be asking him about his political war stories. I also want to get his thoughts on this recent primary campaign and [...]

Friday’s Washington Post has a story on how the McCain campaign is looking to woo disaffected Clinton supporters. The GOP thinks it has a shot at these voters who believe Obama is out of touch with them and because McCain is a “maverick” who may be able to accommodate their interests. That is why the [...]

I am still waiting for someone to explain to me why Barack Obama represents “change” and “hope” for a new future. The White House is currently occupied by an inexperienced man–a nice man–of limited accomplishment who used cocaine as a young adult. And the best answer the Democrats now offer is an inexperienced man who [...]

Democrats will lose in November if we nominate Obama. The GOP is ready, and they have four ads on Obama waiting in the queue. Consider this an open thread on Obama’s unelectability. Obama and The Second Amendment

“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK.” No Kidding. Barack Obama actually said that today. You can’t make this stuff up. He was talking about America “leading [...]

Loser ‘Droid Jimmy Carter to the states of Michigan and Florida: DROP DEAD! The former president tells Jay Leno Wednesday night that the two states’ delegations should not be seated at August’s convention because they “disqualified themselves.” “It would be a catastrophe for the party.” (Via Mark Halperin’s blog) So here’s the new logo for [...]
