On The Eve Of The Election Questions About Obama’s Fraudulent Fund Raising Remain

And that, my friends, is a big problem. Because what happens if he wins the election and then we learn that tens of millions of dollars of the contributions he used to get himself elected were contributed fraudulently ? The campaign of Democratic (...)

Palin’s Segolene Syndrom

Sarah Palin may very well lead the GOP on the same losing path as the French Socialist Party. The long overdue implosion of the GOP (see "GOP : time to split") has started. McCainiacs are as dead as their leader. They are the only Americans (...)

Associated Press Calls Palin A Hypocrite, Claims Alaska’s Permanent Divided Is Socialism

Obama is smarting from (correct) assertions from the McCain/Palin camp that he’s a wealth-redistributing socialist. So the Associated Press rides to the rescue with a “fact check” that tries to paint Palin as a hypocrite on this issue (...)

McCain Racism, Hypocrisy on Khalidi Issue

The increasingly sleazy John McCain, who once promised to run a clean campaign, has now attacked my friend Rashid Khalidi and attempted to use him against Barack Obama. Khalidi is an American scholar of Palestinian heritage, born in New York and educated (...)

Canadian thoughts about Barack Obama’s TV broadcast

Obama’s televised address moved even lifelong conservatives to tears. Those who have watched Barack Obama’s special TV broadcast will have a better idea of what he stands for and what he will be able to deliver as president. There is no doubt (...)

From Joe the Plumber to Joe the Nontaxpayer

A recent Journal editorial noted that since more than a third of Americans already have zero federal income tax liability, the Obama “tax cuts” amount to handouts for millions of nontaxpayers. The Obama campaign maintains that these handouts (...)

Megyn Kelly Almost Makes Obama Spokesman Cry Over Wealth Redistribution Recording

Seriously. By attacking the media for daring to play recordings of things Obama actually said the Obama campaign hopes to distract from, you know, what he said. This is what you can expect if you criticize Obama : Anger. Threats. Intimidation. And (...)

Six Alabama Counties Have More Registered Voters Than Eligible Voters

But no big deal, right ? Obama’s going to be President, by any means necessary. ...there’s no good time to find out some Alabama counties have more registered voters than they have voting-age residents, at least based on census population (...)

Right after Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama, The One was gushing about the importance of the endorsement and said that Powell could have a place in his cabinet if he wanted it. WASHINGTON : Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says that (...)

Projected Obama Election Post-Mortem

If McCain loses, and the liberal supermajority dream becomes reality, we will start the spiral down the toilet as a “socialist worker’s paradise” in weeks. The outlandish, the absurd, the unimaginable will become a daily reality. A new (...)

Shocker : Polling Tends To Overstate Support For Obama, Democrats

The Politico notes that polls tend overstate support for Obama and Democrats in general. In theory, exit polls should match election results. But for all the care that goes into conducting accurate exit polls, errant results aren’t completely (...)

Just A “Family Guy” - McCain/Palin Nazi’s - Media Double Standard !

The recent outcry has been about the so-called negative campaign of John McCain and Sarah Palin has been one key way for Obama and his campaign to devert attention about facts concerning the character of “The One”. Even turncoat Colin Powell (...)

Powell’s Finest Moment

What is remarkable to me about Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama on Meet the Press was its sincerity and the form of its reasoning. He addressed issues, not personalities. He engaged in analysis, not demonization. After the Rove years of (...)

Joe The Plumber Hits Back At Media On Huckabee Show

McCain springs a leak, calls on Joe the Plumber

You just have to feel a little bit sorry for the Republicans. After eight years of George W. Bush, they now find themselves with two millstones around their necks : John McCain and Sarah Palin. McCain is becoming visibly more erratic and angrier, while (...)

Plumber Licensing

It seems that Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, aka “Joe the Plumber,” may not be a licensed plumber. Which to me once again raises the issue of whether or not it really serves the public interest to have so many occupational licensing rules. Like most (...)
