Year: 2008

“A plumber is the guy he’s fighting for,” The One sneers with distain. The swarm of Obamunists around him go nuts, hooting in derision. The reference is of course to McCain’s defense of Joe Wurzelbacher, who complained that Obama’s malevolent plans to inflict social justice by jacking up taxes will kill the dream of business […]

So what if Obama is elected? After four years, Americans will realize they’ve been sold a bill of goods by the left-wing media, and vote him back out again. Then we can live happily ever after. Right? Wrong. Four years is more than enough time to inflict permanent damage on this country, given the large […]

Here’s an email I received this week, “Hey John, I’m always interested in your opinions, so I hope that you can write on this. Since it looks quite likely at this point that Obama will win the election, what will happen in Iraq? Is there any hope of us winning, it seems like we are […]

The bad news is that the Weekly World News says that the coveted Bat Boy endorsement is going to Barack Obama, Obatma’s half-brother, Barack Obama, has received the political endorsement of America’s favorite precocious mutant: Bat Boy. This morning presidential nominee Barack Obama met the half-human half-bat who eagerly gave his endorsement through a series […]

Yesterday, I ran a poll asking RWN’s readers if they would like “to flip the ticket? That would mean Sarah Palin as the presidential nominee & McCain as the VP?” Here’s how it broke down, Yes: 73% (378) No: 27% (140) That’s either a ringing endorsement of Sarah Palin, a lack of faith in John […]

I’m taking a bit of artistic liberty by sticking the word liberal in here, but it fits the mentality of the people he was talking about way back in 1884, “(liberals) are always under the dominion of the superstition of government, and forgetting that a government produces nothing at all, they leave out of sight […]

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.” — Unknown Deficit spending has been a contentious issue in American politics since we first became a country and started having ferocious arguments about how quickly to […]

“Jane’s Law: The devotees of the party in power are smug and arrogant. The devotees of the party out of power are insane.” — Megan McCardle It could happen, you know. By “it,” I mean the worst nightmare of any conservative. In fact, odds are that in 2009, we’re going to have President Barack Obama, […]

Joe the Plumber was busy working under a kitchen sink, which is why he didn’t hear someone come up behind him. He was slammed in the back with a pipe wrench, leaving him crying in pain as he looked up at his attacker: Barack Obama. “You made one mistake, Joe,” Obama said. “You made too […]

It’s absurd. The statement is patently absurd. I didn’t see the debate, but I doubt McCain stomped on the silliness when Obama, no doubt, said the focus-grouped statement again. Why else would Obama say it so much? It must be a homerun for the people sitting in those groups. Anyway, finally, someone is addressing this […]

I didn’t see the debate last night as the inside of the toilet was capturing my undivided attention, so I’ve had to look around to see what people are saying. This isn’t too encouraging: Jeff’s thoughts: Obama wins by virtue of not being forcibly escorted from the stage in handcuffs and leg irons. – Which […]

Miranda Devine turns over the rock of “establishment feminism” and isn’t pleased with what she sees squirming around underneath: Judging by the opinion polls this week, the Alaskan Governor, Sarah Palin, probably will not get to be the US vice-president. But in her brief starring role on the global stage she has been a powerful […]

Joe Wurzelbacher has become the personification of the American dream struggling to survive in the face of encroaching socialism. The Ohio plumber has worked long and hard to put himself in the position to buy a business, for which Obama would reward him by taxing him into a hole for being a capitalist oppressor. As […]

Here are all the highlights from last night’s debate in just three minutes. My personal favorite moment was, ironically, McCain accidentally calling Obama “Senator Govenrment.” That’s an appropriate moniker for that little puffed up, lying, smug, snot nosed, tinpot socialist.

Sean Hannity calls 2008 the year journalism died. It may also be the year democracy in America dies, both falling victim to the absurd yet terrifying Obamania phenomenon. Ohio’s Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a ferociously partisan Democrat, has been sitting on 200,000 suspect registrations that she wants to protect from scrutiny. It looks Obama’s […]

I took a look around the right side of the blogospere after the debate and the general consensus could best be summed up by this quote from Gateway Pundit, “No crushing blows but a good showing by McCain.” Most conservabloggers thought McCain won, but that the debate wasn’t a game changer. Here’s a short round-up […]

Liberals tend to be insufferable when they feel like they’re really losing and when they feel like they’re really winning. When the left feels like they’re losing, they get ugly and paranoid. They start talking about Nazis, being put in camps, conspiracy theories, and the start projecting their little fascist fantasies onto conservatives. However, the […]

Late last night, I polled RWN’s readers on who won the 3rd debate. Here’s how it turned out, McCain: 69% (330) Obama: 24% (117) Debate? What? Who?: 7% (33)

There are bad ideas… It must rank among the most unusual tattoos in the world. Apprentice tattooist Jack Newton has had Professor Stephen Hawking’s face imprinted on his right leg.

8:56: Normally, my co-bloggers Melissa Clouthier and Katie Favazza do the liveblogging, but Katie is all mopey and Melissa is ralphing up her lunch, so the duty falls to me. 8:57: I haven’t been a big fan of these debates so far because they mostly feature boring questions, both candidates repeating their standard stump lines, […]

Every now and then Dems forget the election isn’t over yet, and let loose with what they really think. A quote from Democrat Parker Griffith, who’s running for Congress in Alabama, after he was asked about the threat posed by radical Islam: I think America’s greatest enemy is America and its materialism … we have […]

Delusion, thy name is Democrat. Here are tolerant West Siders cheering jeering McCain-Palin supporters: In one of Barack Obama’s ads, he talks about thinking about the working man, every single day. That his motivation is to help them. That would be nice, if liberal policies ever helped the middle class. The kind of society that […]

The recent economic turmoil and the terrifying possibility that Barack Obama could actually be elected President aren’t bad news for everyone. The US Communist Party is delighted. At the party’s New York headquarters, regional party chairman Libero Della Piana crows: We are very excited, we feel that we are at a turning point. We can […]
