In the aftermath of the financial scandal that is toppling financial institution after institution, the Center for Responsive Politics did a little snooping into which politicians were taking how much money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  The activities of these two quasi-government quasi private financial hybrids were at the very center of the disaster [...]

Liberals never cease to surprise me: just when I thought they were as low as they could get, they find a way to crawl even lower.  They keep taking me to school: I just never dreamed that so many people could be so loathsome.
Michelle Malkin has this to say:
The law will catch up to the [...]

A friend just e-mailed me with the following “food for thought,” which I have decided to share:
Much is made of McCain’s age. Has anyone brought up the fact that Obama smokes and both of his parents died at an early age? Plus Biden has had two brain aneurysms which could have killed him.

If they both [...]

Barack Obama’s inexperience has been an issue since he began running for President.  But maybe voters should be looking into the issue of his childishness instead.
Obama has been running ads like this one:
“The dishonest smears that he repeats even after it has been exposed as a lie, truth be damned–a disgraceful, dishonorable campaign.
After voting with [...]

Should Barack Obama ascend to the presidency in January, with a mandate (in his mind) to change America, what will he do?
His first order of business will be to nationalize health care. Of course it will cost more than his advisers projected. Payments to medical providers will be reduced. Medical practitioners will either walk away [...]

We have a tale of two women - two powerful money women - in our latest news cycle.  Yesterday, Obama had a symbolic “gotcha” moment fall into his lap with McCain aide said, “I don’t think John McCain could run a major corporation…”.  But John McCain had a major coup when a top “Hillraiser” officially announces [...]

The list is growing of media and government figures who are attempting  to deflect criticism of Barak  Obama and the Democrats with cries of racism. Kansas Governor Kathleen Sibelius has openly said that race might be a factor in the electorate’s lingering misgivings about Obama

CNN reporter Jack Cafferty has also weighed in saying that “Race [...]

Nancy Pelosi pleads innocent on stock crash
In record time and ahead of all economic experts, Nancy Pelosi has declared the Democrats to be innocent of all guilt in the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy and all of the attending stock market turbulence.
When asked if the Democrats bore any responsibility for the difficulties on Wall Street , Ms. [...]

Well, so much for the Democratic complaint that John McCain picked a less-qualified person for Vice-president - - at least, according to the voters polled by Rasmussen.  According to a report released today, Sarah Palin bests Joseph Biden 47% to 44% in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up for the presidency!
This followed Monday’s Rasmussen report indicating that [...]

Charles Rangel will be with us for some time to come, because the same Democrats who hounded one Republican after another out of office for nowhere NEAR the same level of corruption don’t seem to mind when their Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee is a documented tax cheat, or when other members [...]

If there is anything taken more seriously than the US flag, it’s the national anthem. The Star-Spangled Banner accompanies just about every major American function, and at major sporting events a significant honor is bestowed upon those asked to sing what is probably the best known national anthem in the world. Listen closely to the [...]

MUST READ: Amir Taheri sinks Obama further into the mire.
“In other words, Obama was trying to derail current US policy, while Zebari was urging him not to “waste time.””
See further, from the Washington Prowler:
The Obama campaign spent more than five hours on Monday attempting to figure out the best refutation of the explosive New York [...]

This post from Hillbuzz is worth readingfor a variety of reasons, I mention it because it explains a lot of what has had me scratching my head about Obama’s campaign. Specifically, the total lack of strategy:
“We’ve heard from people who have worked with, and for, SoetorObama through the years that he never expected to win [...]

Stumbled across this random blog post today as it had an attractive title: Relax, Democrats. Obama Will Win. Oh, really? Hmmmm……this is interesting, and contrary to current wisdom…So I click on it to find out why. Wait til you hear.
First we are told to forget the national polls. The swing states are all that matters. So [...]

Can’t do email? Out of touch or war injury? Tanning beds? Vanity or northern latitude SAD tool? I’m just saying, it seems Obama’s team has a problem with people who aren’t perfect or who recognize their physical limitations. The arrogance of youth and inexperience? Whoever is making these campaign choices Googles with severe ADD and [...]

                                      
As Joe Biden hires lobbyists to help with his bid for the Senate, yes, the Senate. A prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee is set to endorse John McCain today, according to a report by CNN.
The report says the announcement will take place at a news conference on Capitol [...]
