Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the Tea Party

July 21st, 2011 | No Comments

A lot is being made over the recent row between Allen West and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz.  As per the norm, the liberals are framing it so the Allen West is just bat turd crazy and went off on poor little Debbie. SAY WHAT? Was Allen West’s Angry E-mail Appropriate? QuestionsView Results What all of them are [...]

Linda Sanchez sees white supremists

June 3rd, 2010 | 3 Comments

Accusing the Arizona immigration law of leading to the slippery slope of racial profiling has apparently worn thin.  Linda Sanchez decided to up it a notch: “There’s a concerted effort behind promoting these kinds of laws on a state-by-state basis by people who have ties to white supremacy groups”,”It’s been documented. It’s not mainstream politics.” [...]

Chimpanzees are black too

February 20th, 2009 | 1 Comment

This is so amazingly stupid I don’t even know where to begin.  The New York Post ran a cartoon intermingling the events of the violent monkey getting shot in Connecticut and the recent stimulus bill.  Looking at it for two seconds, I got it.  I thought it was very accurate.  This stimulus was so bad [...]

Chuck Hagel to be Obama’s running mate?

August 14th, 2008 | 1 Comment

I’ve seen this a couple of times: Talk of Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel as a potential running mate for Democratic candidate Barack Obama tends to confound partisans in both parties. Sure, they’ve been spotted together a few times, but the bottom line is no.  Obama doesn’t appeal to the rational, middle of the road Democrats [...]

Obama lurches away from his core

July 10th, 2008 | No Comments

Barack Obama’s having a rough week. First, he did the very odd thing of stating very publicly he liked President Bush’s Faith Based Initiative so much he wanted to expand it.  That drew the ire of the Reverend Jesse Jackson: “See, Barack’s been talking down to black people on this faith-based—,” Jackson says during a [...]

McCain – Rice?

April 4th, 2008 | 2 Comments

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, [...]

Immediate expectations from the 2006 elections

November 9th, 2006 | No Comments

A lot of people are reading things into this week’s elections. Some people claimed these elections are nothing but a national referendum on Bush and/or the Republicans. As such, I posted my “anticipated results” from the elections a few days ago. I’m still sticking with those “predictions” post-election. Now, here’s what happens when “national” expectations [...]

John Kerry doing it again

October 31st, 2006 | 18 Comments

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 issue and basically [...]

Is Michael Fox acting?

October 24th, 2006 | 11 Comments

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 [...]

Do we “need” neoconservatism?

October 18th, 2006 | No Comments

Powerline points to a book by Douglas Murray called: Now, the premise here is that the country NEEDS Neoconservatism.  I don’t particularly think that’s true.  That’s about like saying the country NEEDS to grow older.  Sounds kinda harsh I know, but this is why I think this is true.  It’s pretty simple really:  In 1990, [...]
