Several in media have been insinuating that there might be a double standard at play regarding Sarah Palin. Let’s see. We’ve had a couple of very recent events to compare. So, let’s do, shall we?
John Edwards ran for President as recently as early this year. He ran on ethics primarily. He lost but maintained a [...]

Immediately after it became known that Sarah Palin would be John McCain’s running mate, CNN ran a poll asking people if they had supported Hillary Clinton if they would now consider McCain/Palin. Approximately 41% at the last I saw it said yes. That’s enough to turn this election into a washout for Obama. So, CNN [...]

CNN is running a survey that means something:
Should corporal punishment be banned in schools?
Yes, 44%, 61725
No, 56%, 80104
Total Votes: 141829
Now, I’m with the No’s on this one. I come from the pre-ban days when teachers just whipped the fire out of kids. However, it wasn’t really like a scene from The Wall. My first introduction [...]

It’s one thing to go around shouting about how Nancy and Harry and the Democrat leadership are failing this country in a time of economic crisis. Now, I’ll show you exactly how it works:
House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey abruptly shut down his committee indefinitely rather than allow Republicans to offer an amendment to open [...]

Congressman Peter King is kinda upset.
A month-long advertising campaign, to be run in New York on the subway cars, aimed at promoting Islam has generated controversy with an angry lawmaker sending a letter to the authorities asking them to stop the drive….
“I have no problem with the ad itself, but I have a very, very [...]

Man, there is nothing more I’d love to see this fall than a McCain/Rice ticket. Talk about ending this race mucho prompto? Think ahout it.
Condi would, to say the least, neuter the race issue that so far is exclusive domain of Obama. It’s there, for sure, and will be a factor in November. However, Hillary [...]

I am basing this not on polls, because polls are just as often wrong as they are right. I am basing this on things that matter, that are really happening. The stock market has moved up strongly today. Wall Street LOVES a useless split House. When there’s no chance of significant legislation being produced for [...]

In 2004, President Bush’s ratings were totally in the basement. John Kerry was trashing Bush in the polls, and the media was laughing at Bush’s ineptitude. John Kerry then went to war with some former Vietnam vets that he absolutely would not get over. He hounded and hounded and hounded that one [...]

Was reading a trashy New York gossip rag that was talking about Rush attacking Michael J. Fox for over-acting his Parkinson’s symptoms for political gain. Well, here is the video in question via Claire McCaskill:
Here’s Fox circa June 2006:
The problem Rush has is just making the allegation is distasteful to just about anyone with [...]

From MSNBC:
On a long list of issues, including Iraq and “ethics/corruption,” 23 percent cited the economy as their top concern, up from 17 percent in May.
I have been the firm believer that all politics is local. it’s not my idea, but I sure do believe it. I have said so repeatedly.
I listed those [...]
