Muddling the party lines

Posted by Moonage on 03 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

In the past, and sometimes nowadays, I have pretty much tired of political parties.  We’re in the 21st century.  The tool necessary to get the word out in the 18th century just isn’t necessary anymore.  Never has party unity and loyalty been any more muddled than this year.

Last night, longtime Democrat, and one-tome Democrat VP [...]

Fantasizing on the VP?

Posted by Moonage on 02 Sep 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

This race is bringing a whole new reality to national politics I was quite certain I would never experience in my lifetime.
 
Peeps are apparently fantasizing the perfect Sarah Palin image.  This one is close for me, but I like the longer haired version.  You know, the one where they pasted Julia Louise Dreyfus’s face on [...]

Super Tuesday

Posted by Moonage on 05 Feb 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, The Media

It’s finally here.  If you listen to media pundits, Obama’s got this in a landslide.  If you look at the polls, Clinton’s got this in a landslide.  I can’t wait to see how the media/polls difference is explained off again.  ( Stolen election?  Bad exit poll data? )   Bottom line, I think the media LOVES [...]

Huckabee screws up, joins all the other candidates

Posted by Moonage on 12 Dec 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

I read this first thing this morning:
Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, asks in an upcoming article, “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?”
I have real issues with this for several reasons.
First of all, what does this have to do with being President of the United States of [...]

Trent Lott retiring

Posted by Moonage on 26 Nov 2007 | Tagged as: National Politics

Trent Lott is apparently going to retire before year’s end.  According to the story, his primary concern is he needs to make more money.  Now, being somewhat experienced in that aspect of DC politics, I can say for certain that is an honest concern.  If a congressman’s sole income is his position in DC, he [...]

Cynthia McKinney for President?

Posted by Moonage on 17 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Humor

If you’re through laughing, dig this:
Despite McKinney posting a letter on her Web site last month, saying she is not interested in the Green Party nomination, a group called “Run! Cynthia! Run!” is trying to draft her as a candidate in California. McKinney and six other Green Party candidates, including Ralph Nader were nominated by [...]

That anti-incumbency thing

Posted by Moonage on 17 Aug 2006 | Tagged as: National Politics

A lot has been made of the anti-incumbency “trend” gripping the US right now. IMO, this is just wishful thinking by hard-core Democrats that would justify the fact that their party really has no agenda other than whining about Bush. So far, the tally’s looking pretty ugly for that argument. The ultimate [...]

Partying Republicans

This folks, believe it or not, is a REPUBLICAN fundraiser:

This folks, is what the partying Democrats are offering at the same time:

Cynthia McKinney plays the race card

Posted by Moonage on 03 Apr 2006 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day

Didn’t take long for Cynthia McKinney to do exactly what I expected her to do:
Rep. Cynthia McKinney, the Georgia congresswoman who had an altercation with a Capitol Police officer, said Friday the officer started the incident by inappropriately touching and stopping her after she walked past a security checkpoint.
McKinney, speaking at a news conference where [...]

Nancy Pelosi tries to one-up McKinney

Posted by Moonage on 30 Mar 2006 | Tagged as: Idiot of the day

Now, when I posted my little thingy on Cynthia McKinney trying to steal the spotlight on the national security debate, I KNEW Nancy Pelosi would not sit still for one second and allow that to happen. Realizing she was being upstaged in a major way by the upstart McKinney, Nancy intentionally displays her plans [...]
