Kudos to the NRA for giving that lying, gun grabbing, sack of crap Obama hell in this outstanding attack ad. Hat tip to Gateway Pundit for the video. Update #1: Here’s another ad I like: Obama’s Plan: Driver’s Licenses for Illegals.

The good news is that the race is tightening in the battleground states. McCain looks to be ahead by a nose in Florida, Ohio and Missouri look like toss-ups, and in most of the key states, McCain seems to be gaining. The bad news is that McCain isn’t on pace to win any states that […]

The squishy, moderate, establishment wing of the Republican Party, which is largely responsible for ruining the Party’s brand over the last few years, absolutely insisted that we had to force through amnesty for illegal aliens. The phone calls were running 100 to 1 against it and at one point, they got up to such a […]

Two slightly racier bonus MySpace photoshops below the fold. PS: My MySpace page is here. Feel free to add yourself on as a friend.

It was not a bad idea for the McCain campaign to bring up Bill Ayers and ACORN, but given the current media environment, it’s not enough. By that I mean, it’s great to point out that ACORN is engaging in widescale election fraud and that Obama pals around with terrorists, but the McCain campaign never […]

I love getting a good massage, although Swedish massages are expensive enough in this area ($60-$70 for an hour) that I can very rarely afford to splurge on them. However, even if you paid me $70 an hour, I wouldn’t get one of these massages, Israeli health and beauty spa offers a snake massage for […]

You’d think that over time, as people became more exposed to his habitual dishonesty, megalomania, and radicalism, that the “messiah complex” around Obama would wear off. Apparently, that’s not so at the Daily Kos where diarist manumit writes, What if Obama is the second coming of Jesus Christ? I’m not a religious person however I’d […]

Via Drudge. “The Obama-McCain match-up is proving to be a lackluster election ticket for the Big 3 network news programs, according to NIELSEN MEDIA RESEARCH. As the shouting from the trail and the frantic spinning from the anchor desks intensify, the audience is voting with their remotes. All 3 evening news shows experienced audience drops […]

When McCain was in the primaries, hard core conservatives — myself included — couldn’t stand the guy and didn’t want him as the nominee while the moderate wing of the party cheered him on and the independents helped catapult him to victory in the early races. Now, it’s late in the campaign and who, for […]

As I was perusing the MailOnline today, I was surprised to see them refer to Sarah Silverman as, and I quote, ‘the funniest woman alive.’ I was not, however, surprised to read this, She bombed as a guest on Jonathan Ross’s show on Friday night and now Sarah Silverman has flopped on stage too. Here’s […]

Over at the MailOnline, they are talking about a study that proves what every intellectually honest person who has looked into the issue already knows: that the “pay gap between men and women is not due to discrimination but to their lifestyle choice.” Here are the details, The pay gap between men and women has […]

You think healthcare is expensive now? Well, look to Hawaii to get a preview of what would happen if Obama gets his way and makes healthcare “free,” On March 1, the Hawaii Medical Service Association began enrolling children in the state Keiki (child) Care program. The grand plan was to provide medicine for every child […]

Ross Douthat wrote a piece a few days ago that has been much talked about and even though other people on RWN have commented on it, I just had to get my two cents in on the article. What Is The Conservative Cocoon? …The cocoon is the constellation of mutually-reinforcing conservative institutions – think tanks […]

From the New York Post, “Mark my words,” Biden warned Sunday at a Democratic fund-raiser. “It will not be six months [after the inauguration] before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.” Then he added, “Watch. We’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this […]

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, […]

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.

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, […]

Yesterday, I promised to buy a hard copy of the Enquirer and follow up on the story about Obama’s mentor and father figure, Frank Davis. Well, long story short, usually the Enquirer just does a teaser on the web and saves a lot of the juicy details for the print edition — this time, not […]

Christopher Buckley, the scion of William F. Buckley is now out as a writer at National Review after submitting his resignation in the wake of a vacuous column he wrote endorsing Barack Obama. Here’s his take on the situation, “Within hours of my endorsement appearing in The Daily Beast it became clear that National Review […]
