Year: 2008

Some people think so because she isn’t likely to catch Obama in votes or delegates earned prior to the convention, but Hillary actually has some powerful arguments on her side. #1) Sure Michigan and Florida don’t count, but they’re key swing states and Hillary, not Barack, won both. #2) The whole point of the Super […]

“It is cliché, not plagiarism, that is the problem with our stilted, room-temperature political discourse. It used to be that thinking people would say, with at least a shred of pride, that their own convictions would not shrink to fit on a label or on a bumper sticker. But now it seems that the more […]

Another interesting nugget that defies the conventional wisdom comes from the latest Pew poll.. The poll finds that more Democrats support McCain than Republicans support Obama, a finding that doesn’t surprise me. What does surprise me is this: A quarter of Democrats (25%) who back Clinton for the nomination say they would favor McCain in […]

Sometimes, the posts just write themselves. From the fine folks at the Democratic Underground, IdaBriggs: I’m a “Hater” and I Don’t Care Who Knows It. I hate George W. Bush and all of his criminal cronies. I hate the members of Congress (Democrat and Republican) who have let him get away with his Crimes and […]

Have you heard about Hillary Clinton’s latest outrageous racist smear against Barack Obama and a small child? Here’s Ann Althouse (among many others) on the latest Hillary Clinton commercial, “Why are the letters ‘NIG’ on the child’s pajamas?” Asks a commenter — “Tom” — on my post about the new Hillary Clinton commercial, the one […]

Gloria Steinem, a Hillary Clinton supporter, was speaking on her behalf in Texas in a Women for Hillary event. Unfortunately for Hillary, any help that she might have had by having the feminist icon speak for her was lost when Steinem decided to do a riff on McCain’s experience as a POW. Referring to his […]

The International Herald Tribune reports: WASHINGTON: Top supporters of Senator Barack Obama, joined by at least one prominent but uncommitted Democrat, raised the pressure Sunday on Senator Hillary Clinton to bow out of the presidential nominating race if she fails to score clear victories in two big-state primary contests Tuesday. “I just think that D-Day […]

And that seems to be the case with a bunch of feminists who got together to discuss Hillary, Barack, progressive politics and the state of feminism for The Nation. First noting that while they were “diverse”, they were still all “progressive” (yay for that), but they wondered why it was that the selection process for […]

The day of doom is upon Hillary Clinton. Here in Texas, her strength is in doubt. If I’m to believe the local news reports, Obama’s messianic message (not) taps a deep well here and he has solid support in the cities. I’m not thinking about March 5 right now. It almost doesn’t matter. Clinton and […]

Heh heh heh Energy Saving Day was a flop, its organiser admitted last night after the National Grid confirmed that across Britain energy use went up by just over one per cent. The day, which began at dusk on Wednesday evening with candles being lit in St Paul’s cathedral, had received the backing of the […]

John McCain is in a terrible Catch-22. He has gotten this far in his political career by punching conservatives in the teeth for the amusement of the mainstream media, which has repaid him for the entertainment by treating him with kid gloves and hyping him as a principled maverick. But now that McCain has captured […]

There has been plenty of debate over whether military detainees should be put through civilan courts in the U.S. The ACLU think so and even want the detainees in Gitmo to be dragged through American courts. The AP throws all objectivity out the window and picks a side of the debate. Unsurprisingly, they choose the […]

There is a rumor floating around thats got the hard left upset. To break an impasse over legislation overhauling the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, House Democratic leaders are considering the option of taking up a Senate-passed FISA bill in stages, congressional sources said today. Under the plan, the House would vote separately on the first […]

Today, I’ve got an interesting question. On the right, you tend to hear a lot about the virtue of personal responsibility. We stress it and emphasize it to seemingly no end. But at what point, if any, does personal responsibility end? The parents of Amanda Jax have filed a lawsuit against a nightclub Jax attended […]

David Ignatius at the Washington Post as whether Barack Obama is really a “bridge builder” who can reach across party lines and heal divisions. Not unless a bridge only has one end. Obama had the most liberal voting record of any Senator in 2007. (Gina Cobb’s website is here.)

Steyn writes: I heard yesterday from across the Atlantic (I’m traveling in Europe) that the Ontario Human Rights Commission has declined to hear the Canadian Islamic Congress against Maclean’s on the grounds that they deal in denials of service on the basis of race, creed, etc, and a magazine is not a “service”. That’s certainly […]

At the rate Barack Obama is going, his lack of qualification to serve as commander in chief of the U.S. armed forces will be painfully obvious long before November. The man has far too few carefully considered opinions and far too many shoot-from-the-hip-and-hope-it-sounds-good opinions. Unfortunately, that weakness seems to be shared by the advisors with […]

One of the smears that the Left often hurls at conservatives is that we’re only concerned about the rich. Of course, that’s not true; conservatives simply believe in an America where people should be able to get rich through their own efforts without having the fruit of their labor looted from them by cynical liberal […]

Question: “My friends and I are total movie geeks. To the point where we routinely use lines (some of them deliberately obscure) from movies in everyday conversation. For example: If one of my boys says he needs somebody to help him move, the proper response would be: I’m your huckleberry. (Doc Holiday, Tombstone) Anywhoo, my […]

Question: “I keep hoping for the best but planning for the worst: Assume Obama the messiah wins in November, and the democrats keep both the senate and the house. What will happen in the following 2 years and what can I do as an individual now to prepare? This would not involve fleeing to the […]

Question: “Is an amnesty easier to defeat under President McCain or President Obama? I hate the thought of either of those two as president.” — Thresher Answer: That’s a tricky question to answer because, #1) Amnesty would be more difficult to defeat under McCain because Republicans would feel a lot more pressure to go along […]

Question: “What, in your estimation, will it take for 2nd Amendment loathing liberals to finally grasp the concept that banning guns is an ineffective policy?” — Good_Ol_Boy Answer: If liberals cared about whether the policies they supported worked or not, they’d end up dropping 90% of their agenda. Whether gun control works or not is […]
