I wrote the script for this 55 second video that features Michelle Malkin, Pamela Gellar from Atlas Shrugs, Wendy Sullivan from Girl On The Right, Freeman Hunt, and Skye from Midnight Blue. An extra hat tip goes to SarahK from mountaineer musings, who first suggested this idea to me — and Michelle Malkin, who has […]

Over at the Huffington Post, they’re breathlessly reporting that Sarah Palin made her first gaffe. Here’s the spin, Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had “gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers.” The companies, as McClatchy reported, “aren’t taxpayer […]

From The Democratic Underground today, Hat tip to Hot Air for finding the DU post.

“Don’t shoot the messenger. A new poll coming out in tomorrow’s USA Today has McCain up 54 to 44 amongst LVs, 50 to 46 amongst RV. Here’s the link. The only good news is that Kerry was behind by more at this time in 2004. Then again, that isn’t such great news.” — Daily Kos […]

So, I am perusing the Democratic Underground and as per usual, it’s highly entertaining, and I came upon a thread called “add me to the list of folks who are losing friends over this election…” The thread is absolutely full of liberals saying that they couldn’t be friends with conservatives anymore because of this election. […]

Now this bumper sticker, which is brought to you courtesy of my buddy Rachel Lucas, is the best one I have seen so far this year,

How bad is Sarah Palin getting into Obama’s head when he has been reduced to this? ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos Reports: The rivalry between the Democratic and Republican tickets for president could shift from the ballot box to the hardwood if Barack Obama has his way. In an exclusive interview airing this morning on “This […]

Despite the fact that most of the recent available evidence seems to suggest that earth is going into a cooling phase, the global warming doomsayers are still at it. If you want to see how far the Al Gore crowd would go if they could get away with it, I think this piece at the […]

Yes, this video isn’t even close to new, but I saw it again today and it just never gets old. If you haven’t seen this yet, make sure you do. It’ll be the best 18 seconds of your morning. Update #1: Incidentally, Afro Ninja may not have landed on his feet in the video, but […]

As RWN’s regular readers already know, I have been a harsh critic of John McCain for a long time and back in May, I wrote a post called, “Why I Will No Longer Support John McCain For President.” That post was widely linked and was probably why I was blackballed from the Republican National Convention. […]

Make no mistake about it; the Left’s attacks on Sarah Palin’s family are meant to be a Mafia style message to other conservative women — you cross us and we’ll come after your children. If you want to see how far they’ll go, witness this entry from an anonymous blog dedicated to attacking Trig Palin […]

Tropical storm Hanna blew through my neck of the woods last night and happily, it turned out that it hit like John Edwards. There were some small and medium sized branches down and a neighbor’s picket fence blew over, but there didn’t seem to be any major damage. At the moment, it has stopped raining, […]

Unhappily, I’m right in the path of Hanna and it’s moving ever closer to my location as we speak. On the one hand, it is just a tropical storm and since I am not a liberal from New Orleans, I always have some basic hurricane supplies ready to go. I’ve got soup, plenty of bottled […]

If I were a celebrity, I would never get publicly involved in a political race. Know why? Because the wider your appeal is to the public, the more popular you are and, therefore, the more money you make — and when you start getting involved in partisan politics, you alienate half the population. That brings […]

Doing radio show, right now (3:20 PM). George Putnam’s Talk Back with Chuck Wilder. Update: At 4:07 PM EST, I’m going to be on the Jaz McKay show. Click on Stickam in the left corner to listen to the show.

The mainstream media has spent a full week throwing everything they have at Sarah Palin. They’ve hurled sexist insults at her, attacked her family, smeared her with lies and half-truths, and were even speculating that she hadn’t been vetted and would be dropped from the ticket. If you listened to the New York Times, MSNBC, […]

Honorable Mention: “If Barack Obama cannot appreciate that our troops are winning in Iraq, he should not be their Commander in Chief.” — Lindsey Graham Honorable Mention: “Democrats want to use the slowdown as an excuse to do what their special interests are always begging for: higher taxes, bigger government and less trade with other […]

After a rousing Night 3 of the convention, Night 4 didn’t look to have the most promising array of speakers. Let’s see: Mike Huckabee, Linda Lingle, Rudy Guiliani, and Sarah Palin vs. Lindsey Graham, Tom Ridge, Cindy McCain, and John McCain. That’s not exactly the crew of speakers, besides McCain, that you want to end […]

From Fred Kaplan at Slate, “At times like these, I’m relieved that I don’t cover elections. There’s bum DNA in my heart, and the agita might send me keeling over. How else to react to the sight of sophisticated people saying, with impressively straight faces, that Sarah Palin is qualified to be vice president–even president–because […]

When George Bush came into office, there were plenty of conservatives who wanted him to go after Clinton. But Bush, being Bush, wanted to strike “a new tone.” Did he get any credit for bucking a lot of people in his party and trying to avoid partisan strife? No, not one iota. In fact, to […]

Since no one seems to pay much attention to the 8-9 time slot, I’m going to ignore it as well and just focus on the key speeches in the 9-11 timeslot. Michael Steele: He gave a short, enthusiastic, serviceable “B-” speech that may have helped shore up a few conservatives who were soft on McCain […]

I’ve been blogging since 2001 and the reaction to last night’s speech was the most positive I have ever seen from righty bloggers in that entire time. It was a huge speech with a lot on the line and conservative bloggers seemed to believe that Palin delivered everything people could have hoped for — and […]

Sarah America destroyed everything in her path last night. You just gotta watch this…

Many people, especially liberals, have been puzzled by Barack Obama’s inability to pull ahead of John McCain. We’re less than 100 days out from the election and yet, if the vote were today, it would be anybody’s ball game. That’s despite the fact that George Bush is unpopular, Democrats seem to be more motivated than […]

Day 1 of the GOP convention was wiped out because of Gustav and perhaps because they feared to get too partisan, too fast, Day 2 mostly focused on building up McCain and Palin. There was a little red meat here and there, but it wasn’t the main thrust of the evening. The first big speech […]

When Hillary’s fans complained about the incredible amount of sexism on the Left, I took it with a grain of salt. However, the ridiculous, over-the-top misogyny and general contempt for women — that has been displayed by liberals, including liberals in the mainstream media, since Sarah Palin has been selected — has been so absolutely […]

This is about three and a half minutes long and features George Bush, Fred Thompson, and Joe Lieberman.

It’s hard not to notice that even though Barack Obama initially claimed to be a post-racial candidate, his supporters obviously see his race as the primary selling point of his candidacy. Setting aside the fact that had it not been for black voters voting for him just because he’s black, he could have never received […]
