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 [...] Read more »
In sports, a blowout is usually pretty boring, unless you have some kind of vendetta agenda. Good rivalries make good sports, as do well fought contests which hold surprises. One of the most important aspects of any great sporting (or any) contest is a fairly equal match-up. Parity, in sports, often creates an interesting duel, [...] Read more »
“Let’s Talk Issues… Except that one…” Well, here it comes… the “Let’s talk issues” deflection. With all of the heat that Clinton and Obama are taking for basically lying, the Dems on the left are beginning to chant the mantra “Why don’t we talk about issues? Let’s talk about healthcare, the war, the economy, blah [...] Read more »
Drawing Out the Rats In listening to John McCain in an interview with Hannity, it dawned on me that Fox has a unique opportunity to influence the democRATS, namely Obama and Clinton, who are avoiding the network like the plague. Look at that – plague and rats in the same sentence. Ironically, the same party [...] Read more »
Black Man Wins in Mississpippi Wow… that is all I can say. I challenge Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton to make the case that this Country is full of racist bastards. 50 or more years ago if a black man had run for President in a Mississippi primary one might have expected a concurrent increase [...] Read more »
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 [...] Read more »
Obama and Clinton Ticket? Plenty of rumor revloving around the hints and subliminal signals from Hillary suggesting that some kind of joint ticket deal is a possibility. I am amazed at how many of the more solid GOP pundits actually are falling for that one. The possibility is about ZERO, as I have said before. [...] Read more »
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 [...] Read more »
The Clinton hating members of the GOP (me included) all would love to see the Clinton’s go bye-bye, at just about any cost. In Texas, there is an interesting possibility which allows the GOP to have a hand in the demise of Billary… but recent rumblings from the Lone Star State are indicating a potential [...] Read more »
Were we to presume that John McCain and Barack Obama are going to go toe to toe in the General Election, I have said it on here before that all McCain has to do is keep punching and punching with the terror issue and Obama’s lack of experience, or proper foreign policy perspective. Barack has [...] Read more »
As predicted (on this blog) the first of two spoilers is now in the race. Ralph Nader has tossed his pinhead shaped hat into the ring, thus potentially hurting the Democrats, and helping McCain. There is no question that Nader pulls more voters from the ranks of liberals, and this has to be very very [...] Read more »
New York Times Painting Itself Into a Corner The most recent overture from the Gray Lady is unfortunately another example of her showing her true colors… at least the true colors of today. In days of yore, this rag meant something to the world. While the internet and 24 hour cable news stations are doing [...] Read more »
Some of you might think, reading that headline, that what you will get here are election strategies, talking points, issue debates for the General Election with Obama or Clinton (most likely Obama)… But if you have come here for that, you will be disappointed. I am going to make the presumption, for the sake of [...] Read more »
Primaries divide. This year, it appears they have the potential to divide even more than normal. Some Conservatives are even frazzled to the point that they are starting to sound as emotionally as irrational as many on the left are daily. But more on that near the end. Obama and Billary are looking to take [...] Read more »
Listening to the likes of Dobson and Coulter lately, as well as many other of the more far right conservative talking heads is like listening to children making threats. I remember when I was a child thinking “Oh yeah???!! Well, I will just kill myself, and THEN you will be sorry!” (I am not sure [...] Read more »
Well, Kreskin I ain’t, but after today I have to say that my prediction last week of McCain taking the Republican nomination is looking more and more accurate. And again, I have to reiterate that this is not what I am cheering for, but rather this is simply how I see it playing out. With [...] Read more »
