John McCain is now taking public funds for the election- to the tune of about $84 million.

Yes, I know, I know… it is ironic that Mr. Campaign finance reform can’t make money, while Democrats can. In a year where we have an unpopular war (that ‘popularity’ depends on “success”, and few of us can determine how to adequately define that), rising gas prices, and a recession in the making, it is no surprise that a Republican would have a hard time raising cash.

It has been intimated that Obama claimed HE would take public funding if the Republican candidate agreed to. But we know how things like that go. What is said today by a Democrat is quickly changed by tomorrow. One might even claim that the Democrat party is the “Woman’s Prerogative” party… always reserving the right to change one’s mind; or story; or plea.

When one considers the political faux pas’ of the two jokers on the left; when one considers the inexperience of Obama, and the fake experience of Hillary; when one considers the lies concerning their history; when one considers close ties to racists— it is absolutely perplexing the amount of money Obama, and yes, even Hillary have been able to raise.

One might claim that they have raised record levels of cash due to record levels of interest and sharp political tactics. I would say that the only thing they have raised is the interest of a party of fools…

…and we know what they say about fools and money.

While the groundswell of money from the left is impressive, we must simply remember that even rich fools will falter. Money cannot save stupidity, buy a reputation, or create a history of experience.

Water Boarding- Surf’s Up!

The Dims are bashing President Bush’s veto of a bill that would prohibit waterboarding. I personally like ocean sports, and I am happy to see that we can all hope that the CIA will keep their lifejackets on for a while.

Bush stated that this is the wrong time to restrict a practice that has saved American lives. I agree. The opposition states it will cost American lives, and that it will endanger prisoners of war. Apparently they have not seen video of Daniel Pearl or others having their heads cut off. I don’t think you can endanger any of our people any more than they already are, nor can you tout anecdotal evidence of any kind that indicates that the response has been “ramped up” by the enemy in response to water boarding.
Surf’s up…

Obama for VP?

Republicans are so principled as to be sometimes backwards in their thinking, creating “cut off your nose to spite your face” scenarios. I have to love my fellow GOP’ers for holding such staunch positions on principles that thier logic becomes mindbending. Liberals on the other hand will

In the ongoing debacle of the unseated Michigan and Florida delegates, “the strange just keeps getting stranger.”

A recent LA Times article was headlined “Democrats Brainstorm Michigan, Florida Delegate Disputes”. I have a hard time considering the pondering of any serious issue such as this by Democrats a “brainstorm”. Perhaps a small squall, or maybe a gust of wind… but a “storm” is kind of unlikely from any group that does not recognize that they caused this problem themselves.

The Dems still try to blame Republicans for the Florida situation, stating
