This is historic. This is epic. This is what political jockeying is all about. Yeah, Sarah Palin will be the first woman to run on a GOP ticket, but that’s not what’s important here. What is important is that John McCain selected the absolute best person he could have to be his running-mate and he [...]

Usually, politicians who seek the Presidency don’t get their nicknames until they reach the Oval Office and do something to earn themselves that nickname. Barack Obama has jumped the gun on this and gotten himself a nickname even before the convention nominating him was over. He is now known as “The Silencer.” In my blog [...]

What is it that leftists hate more than anything else? When opponents air the truth about leftist policies and leftist politicians. The Obama camp made that unambiguously clear when a TV ad questioning the relationship between Barack Obama and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers went public. Not only did the Obama camp completely fail to bring [...]

John Hawkins over at TownHall has a few more reasons why you might be a liberal. A few of them are quoted below. You might be a liberal if … * You blame the oil companies for high gas prices, but believe in doing everything humanly possible to keep them from drilling for more oil. [...]

Everyday the frustration grows. Everyday, more people sign on to do the right thing: get rid of the IRS and our idiotic tax code. Most Americans strongly favor such a move. The few who do not favor such a move are those who are somehow benefitting from the current set-up. Take for example Barack Obama. [...]

Socialized Medicine is a disaster. It is a disaster up in Canada where medical travel agencies help patients travel to the U.S. to get proper and sometimes life-saving care; it is a disaster over in Great Britain where patients wait up to 13 hours in ambulance lines before they get taken into an Emergeny Room [...]

Some true-to-life political humor for the weekend. A little something written by Lee Cary over at American Thinker: It came to pass in the eighth year of the third millennium that a long race decided who became Leader of the Realm of the Fifty-seven States. A position many called The Potus. Running in this race [...]

This reminds me of the last Presidential Election when one John F. Kerry refused to sign a document that would have made all of his military service records publically available for review. That refusal allowed an image of secrecy to grow and flourish among his political enemies and eventually over into the swing voter. Kerry [...]

We already know a little bit about B. Hussein Obama’s proposed economic policies. They are all of a Socialist nature with aims at redistributing wealth by taking money away from those who earned it and giving it to those who did not earn it. John Lott, a senior researcher at the University of Maryland looks [...]

The members of the House GOP have already rejected this proposal but it would be a good idea to look into it to see exactly what motivated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to try this. From an article by Josiah Ryan at CNS: Pelosi said she has a “comprehensive plan” for energy, which includes releasing oil [...]

If B. Hussein Obama is this clueless about the company he keeps here in the United States, then how clueless would he be when it comes to dealing with Islamists (especially extreme radical Islamists) on the world scene? The answer to that would be “extremely clueless” as well as “extremely dangerous.” This whole question came [...]

This little tidbit from the Washington Examiner serves to highlight the fact that Nancy Pelosi may be illegally invested in T. Boone Pickens’ windfarm and that she may be using her power as Speaker of the House to influence the outcome of that business venture. [I]n May 2007, Pelosi invested between $100,001 and $250,000 to [...]

Well, we’ve known for a long time that Old Media outlets like NBC are biased in favor of leftist (i.e. Democrat) candidates. The question was actually one of how long it would take before Republicans would get a pair of cajones and call them on it. Looks like John McCain has finally lashed out. From [...]

From John Hawkins over at TownHall: * You’re sure the Constitution explicitly guarantees the right to abortion and gay marriage, but not the right to own a handgun. * You think Dan Quayle is the dumbest Vice-President we ever had because he believed a flash card that misspelled “potato,” but think Obama is a genius [...]

B. Hussein Obama has let loose a little more of his economic plans for America, and they are not good. Deborah Solomon over at the Wall Street Journal takes a good look into this story: Sen. Obama outlined a plan Thursday to raise tax rates on capital gains and dividend income from 15% to 20% [...]

Terry Kivlan of the National Journal looks into the newest round of punches being thrown on Capitol Hill. Republican lawmakers are ready to allow the offshore oil drilling ban expire on October 1, 2008.

“Culture of corruption.” Sound familiar? Two years ago Nancy Pelosi promised to clean it up. Instead, she has been adding her own filth to the cess pool and she has been looking to T. Boone Pickens to help her do it. Apparently, the big reason for her not allowing an up or down vote on [...]

Would someone please head over to the home of Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame so as to inform them that their fifteen minutes of fame ended back in 2004? These two are such shameless attention hounds that they will do anything to keep themsleves in the news, including launching a frivolous lawsuit against Vice President [...]
