Why not Condi Rice?

Posted by Moonage on 29 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Now, my peeps here know how I feel about Condi Rice.  So, I think, smarting from the Obama/Hillary dustup, Anderson Cooper decided to try and turn the wheels on McCain by planting the seed of discontent in folks like me over McCain “snubbing” Condi in the manner of Obama snubbing Clinton.  Two serious differences here that [...]

Sarah Palin to be McCain’s VP?

Posted by Moonage on 29 Aug 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Due to not really being terribly glued to the tv over this election, I gotta admit I have been fairly clueless to guessing VP picks.  The media throws so many names out so fast, then criticizes the names they threw out themselves, and then writes off the names they threw out themselves.  So, the whole [...]

Bridging the racial divide?

Posted by Moonage on 18 Mar 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Racism

A lot is being made over Obama’s dealing with his pastor’s comments.  Now, here’s where the big problem is in my opinion.  You’re going to have to bear with me while I kind of lay it out.  The Obama camp jumped all over Hillary Clinton for being associated with someone they perceived as being racist [...]

Hillary claims your children will die if you don’t vote for McCain?

Posted by Moonage on 29 Feb 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

I think about everyone who’s watched the Clintons for the last sixteen years or so have seen this coming a mile away and a long time comin.

The message here is obvious:  Your children are at risk unless you vote for the experienced candidate.  You do love your children don’t you?  Well, then ya gotta vote [...]

Hillary Weeps again?

Posted by Moonage on 11 Feb 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Hillary broke down again in Maine on Saturday as a Vietnam Vet spoke.  Now, the cynical in me tells me that she is playing the human card way too hard due to all the criticism of being a cold-calculating beotch.  However, that’s way too easy.  And, since it’s obviously not worked too well anywhere other [...]

A vast left wing conspiracy?

Posted by Moonage on 13 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Conspiracy Theories

Sidney Blumenthal got nailed for DUI the night before the New Hampshire Democrat primary.  He got nailed in New Hampshire.  Sidney Blumenthal is a senior Hillary Clinton campaign advisor.  Now, although most media eventually ran the story, they did so usually starting the 12th or 13th.  The primary was the 8th.
Gotta make ya wonder, huh?

Imagine, a contrived scene in politics

Posted by Moonage on 07 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Yeah, I know it seems far-fetched, almost to the level of conspiracy-theory material.  But, sometimes, I just can’t help but think some scenes in politics are totally contrived. Today we got yet another sampling.  To wit, Hillary was asked this question:
“My question is very personal, how do you do it?” asked Marianne Pernold Young, a [...]

Obama and higher taxes

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

Barack Obama was on Meet The Press yesterday.  Among other things, he pitched for more taxes to support social security.  He did it in the most palatable fashion I think most people have, raising the payroll cap.  To come right out and assert raising taxes during a primary is pretty ballsy.  Some might say it’s [...]

Hillary’s trap door

Posted by Moonage on 19 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race

Well, it’s her ad about Bush’s trap door:

I have a couple of problems with this:

It’s pure rhetoric for starters.  She’s not saying one single word about HOW she’s going to build the middle class.  IMO, the middle class is the hardest group to deal with because if someone’s rich, there’s no problem.  If someone’s poor, [...]

Putting the health care issue in perspective

Posted by Moonage on 08 Oct 2007 | Tagged as: 2008 Presidential Race, Health Care Debate

Steve Verdon writes an article for Outside The Beltway that pretty much nails the health care debate that is occurring in this presidential election season:
….So here we see a situation where fixing the problem with people lacking access to health care could actually exacerbate the underlying problem of health care expenditures. This is one of [...]
