Cooling On Raising McCain

Today John McCain made his strongest statements yet about his intent to regulate the "global warming" scam. I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. McCain doesn't intend to regulate the scam, he plans to fully participate in it. The one thing the senator and I agree on about this issue is that it's potentially...

It is Inevitable Now...

Quick. How do you make a hardcore, Bush-loving, Republican's head explode? Oh yeah, this way: Republican John McCain pledged to take the lead in combating global climate change if elected president in a speech that set him apart from the policies of President George W. Bush. In remarks he prepared...

Check Your Bearings: Meet Zell Miller 2008

Lieberman has checked McCain's bearings. Ewwww. Now he wants to be Zell Miller for 2008. Next, I guess he will challenge Chris Matthews to a duel.

Hillary for VP? Not.

I keep hearing that once it is official when Clinton has dropped out of the race that the Democratic Party will have to undergo a healing process. I also keep hearing that the easy way of doing this is for Obama to make Clinton the VP on the ticket. But the way this campaign has gone on the left...

Headlines We Don't Need

No, I'm not talking about the headlines ~ so many of them recently! ~ that briefly describe a catastrophe of one sort or another. ( We don't need those, either, of course; but, well, c'est la vie, non? ) No, see, what I'm talking about is the Reuters headline "McCain Girding for Battle with Obama."...

Is This What’s Next?

Today Senator Barack Obama was parading around like he had just won an Olympic gold medal. He was in the public and on television beginning a media blitz. But, what are the other two candidates from the major parties doing? Senator Hillary Clinton’s camp was busy writing a letter to Senator Obama....

McCain - Hero - Film At Eleven

Let me say again at the outset, I'm no fan of John McCain. I hate his positions on immigration, drilling in Alaska, and the "global warming" scam, to name a few. OK, "hate' is too weak, but it'll have to do since I can't spend a lot of time thinking of something more appropriate when it's not what...

McNeocon, Abortion, Insurance & Discrimination, the Death of the West

“I confess, for my part, that it greatly delights me. I enjoy democracy immensely. It is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing. Does it exalt dunderheads, cowards, trimmers, frauds, cads?” “Liberals, who argue that it is the duty of a gentleman to go into politics—that there...

Since I'm sick of a more or less one-sided media

Well, a whole lot of fuss has been made about Barack Obama's ex-pastor, whose remarks he has openly condemned. And a lot of fuss is being made about the connection between Barack Obama and Bill Ayers. Well, why not talk about one of John McCain's supporters, Rev. John Hagee? Dude rails like a...

It’s Official

Yesterday Senator Hillary Clinton lost in one primary and barely squeezed out a win in another. What this means is that her winning the popular vote just moved from incredibly impossible to a little more incredibly impossible. This also moved her chances of winning over the remaining super-delegates...

With Love, John McCain

It's finally happened! After years of hiding, the G.O.P. has finally found us, and they're striking back with a vengence. That's right, today when I got home, I got the mail and there it was, a white envelope with the return address of John McCain's Washington office. The Republican presumtive...

Race, gender, and age

If you watch, listen to, or read the commentaries on the primaries taking place every couple of weeks, the news has drifted into a public battle of race, age, and gender. I have been struck by the amount of news that basically states that Senator Hillary Clinton is winning over middle class, whites...

Gas-Tax Holiday

So, if you are into politics, I'm sure you have heard about Clinton and McCain's "Gas-tax holiday." According to msnbc.com: To help people weather the downturn immediately, McCain urged Congress to institute a "gas-tax holiday" by suspending the 18.4 cent federal gas tax and 24.4 cent diesel tax...

News & Politics QotW: Gas Tax Holiday

Do you support the gas tax holiday being pushed by Clinton and McCain? NO !! The "gas tax holiday" will take away needed funds for infrastructure projects. The average citizen will receive very little benefit, increase our national debt through the back door and continue to devalue the dollar.
