Year: 2008

Another highlight, or lowlight, depending on your view, of an “all Democrats, all the time” government would most likely be some sort of legislative move to rein in the radio talk show media which is dominated by conservative talkers. It will most likely be updated to somehow put a crimp in cable news, specifically Fox […]

Despite the big upswing yesterday, the stock market has been a roller coaster trending steeply downward. There’s more to it than the subprime crisis, as George Newman explains in today’s WSJ: The valuation of an individual stock reflects the collective expectation of investors about a company’s future profits, dividends and appreciation, and the same is […]

When I was in Destin a week or so ago, I stopped by the Barnes-n-Noble to pick up, hopefully, Jonah Goldberg’s book Liberal Fascism (a must read, by the way). Here is what I saw: To calm down from the irritating book display: a walk on the beach. And this picture I uploaded for my […]

Bailout might be the word of the year and the latest recipient of a bailout might surprise you: Rep. John Murtha.The DCCC is spending $84,000 on advertisements “in an attempt to save Murtha from himself,” according to RedState.com.Why is Murtha at risk, when he’s served for so long and this is–by all accounts–a great year […]

The McCain campaign is accusing The L.A. Times of suppressing a video that shows Obama and Rashid Khalidi. The LAT published a story about the video back in April, but is claiming that it promised the source that the video would not be released. (Van Helsing just published a great piece about this, which features […]

The Los Angeles Times refuses to release video of a guy who may be elected President in a few days praising Rashid Khalidi, former official mouthpiece of the terrorist PLO. Among those who don’t rely on the MSM, it’s already known that Khalidi and Obama have long been good friends, and that Obama has funneled […]

In the video below, there are several kids who are apparently teaching the viewer how to talk to their parents, aunts or uncles and grandparents about the importance of voting. One of the people in the video says that he told his grandmother that if she voted Obama, “maybe she wouldn’t have to buy me […]

Here’s David Carr in the New York Times, “It’s been an especially rotten few days for people who type on deadline. On Tuesday, The Christian Science Monitor announced that, after a century, it would cease publishing a weekday paper. Time Inc., the Olympian home of Time magazine, Fortune, People and Sports Illustrated, announced that it […]

Over at the Atlantic, Ross Douthat wrote a much quoted response to Rush Limbaugh that read in part, “The bigger point (and I know I’m a broken record here) is this. Whatever direction you think conservatism should be going in from here on out, the absolute worst thing the members of a losing political movement […]

Hey, folks, John Murtha, that corrupt, dishonest, kleptocrat who has insulted our troops says that there is no “No godd*mned way” that Bill Russell is going to beat him. Of course, the last poll out in the district showed Russell over Murtha by 13 points — but, the Democrats are pouring money into the district […]

Some people are upset that Sarah Palin is coming across as more than a little squishy on illegal immigration lately. For example, here’s Palin talking to Univision, Governor, let me ask you about immigration. How many undocumented immigrants are there in Alaska? I don’t know, I don’t know. That’s a good question. As governor, how […]

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a good judge of bad TV. Setting aside the fact that I’m a complete Philistine who tends to like trash TV, I do almost no channel surfing and rarely watch anything other than my favorite shows via DVR. That being said, I accidentally happened across a […]

More than one friend, both blogger and non-political observers, have warned me that my credibility will be dirt should I hold to the delusion that McCain can pull this election out. My response has been to say, “Shut up and vote. It’s over when it’s over.” In 2006, I’ll admit it: I didn’t want to […]

Obama has been speaking out of both sides of his mouth when it comes to defense: When it comes to defense, there are two Barack Obamas in this race. There is the candidate who insists, as he did last year in an article in Foreign Affairs, that “a strong military is, more than anything, necessary […]

On this week’s edition of Right Wing News Radio on Blogtalkradio, I talked about the GOP’s election prospects, McCain’s campaign, a blogger poll on the election, Sarah Palin, the Republican Party’s problem, & why you can’t build a political party around moderates. Make sure to listen to it because I dropped more political science in […]

Most polls report that 11% or so of the populace remains undecided a week outside the election. I don’t believe it. People have decided alright–they’re just afraid to say it. Have you ever seen so much peer pressure to vote a certain way? Smart, nuanced, enlightened, informed, hopeful, and “with it” people vote for Barack […]

SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. — An icy rain didn’t stop thousands from turning out for a McCain-Palin rally this morning in Hershey, Pa., and they were fired up by John McCain’s never-say-die speech. “Let me give you the state of the race today,” the candidate said. “There’s one week to go. We’re a few points down. The […]

Obamanomics is based on the morally repugnant class warfare principle of setting aside a group of people called “the rich,” who are to be pillaged and exploited for the sake of everyone else. Under Stalin, to qualify as rich you only needed to own more than one samovar (a device for brewing tea found in […]

Like other totalitarian movements, Obamunism obsessively targets children. If you thought NBC Universal head honcho Jeff Zucker’s Village of the Obamatrons video was creepy, check out the Kids for Obama page on the Moonbat Messiah’s own website: The one thing most grandparents have in common is that they have the most wonderful grandchildren in the […]

When John McCain wins, won’t the world, Democrats and even establishment Republicans be shocked? I still say that McCain will win. Vote people. The last election came down to just over 500 votes. [Update: That would be the 2000 election. Ooops! The last election came down to 100,000 votes. Still, that’s close.] I’m not the […]

The lefties in the mainstream media are going all out to destroy Sarah Palin in part because they resent the idea of having a Republican who’s the most prominent female politician in the country and in part because she excites conservatives and they fear anyone who can do that. The squishes and the inside the […]

“In Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, Obama placed 155% more ad units (62,022 vs. 24,273) than McCain between October 6 and October 26, 2008. As of October 22, Obama had placed 150% more ad units (53,049 vs. 21,106) than McCain in those key battleground states. Obama’s advertising continues to be heaviest in […]

Back on October 31, 2007, I wrote the following about Ted Stevens: Setting aside the fact that he’s 84 years and one of the biggest pork pushers in the entire Senate, he’s completely corrupt….If the GOP runs someone this crooked in the general election in 2008, then we deserve to lose the seat to the […]

You may think that I’m making fun of Obama with this Bingo card, but if the ObamaMessiah gets in the White House, all games that don’t mention him in some fashion will probably be declared racist. So, I’m just getting a headstart on the whole process…

Over at Heading Right, Jon Henke is talking about building a Rightroots movement, Does the Rightosphere not organize as well because of the nature of the online Republicans? Or do the online Republicans not organize as well because of problems with the Republican Party? I think it’s mostly the latter – something that can be […]
