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 […]

Here’s the thing about so-called “Moderates”: they have no loyalty to any ideal but pragmatism. And pragmatism is defined as “what’s good for me.” The latest ostensible voice of reason is moderate pragmatist David Frum. He is full of artful, empty prose. In a nutshell, McCain will lose. It is Palin’s fault. Stop spending money […]

Please note that it’s not whether redistribution of wealth is even the right thing to do, but how best to redistribute wealth. Investor’s Business Daily calls Obama’s beliefs “stealth socialism“. It’s not so stealthy if you have eyes to see. And here, you’ll find that Obama’s ideology mirrors what his father hoped to achieve in […]

Iowahawk once again captures the anger and frustration of average American voters fed up with the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy that’s trying to keep Bill down (not THAT Bill–although he was persecuted something awful, too, which was just a sign of the cryptofascistracists who hate horny, middle-aged white men. I mean he is white and […]

A dear reader wrote yesterday that using the term “socialist” is a code word: Martin Luther King Jr, W.E.B. Du Bois, Paul Robeson, A. Philip Randolph, etc were all denounced as “socialists”. Just as with Obama, the term is employed as a euphamism for something else entirely. Righties have simply reached back in history to […]

I keep thinking that I won’t be shocked and then I’m shocked. A woman is beaten and has a “B” carved on her face for having a McCain sticker on her car, after the criminal robs her of $60 from the ATM. Nice. (Picture here.) What if, by some ice cube’s chance in the third […]

Sorry to beat the drum, but Bill Ayers and Barack Obama are good friends. Period. Here’s more from a victim of Ayers: One thing that strikes me with all this, is that with the cacophony of news and the news cycle, it’s impossible to keep everything straight. This clip was five months ago. Since Barack […]

Amanda Carpenter reports that MSNBC has an “Election Protection” division: When asked for comment about ACORN’s role in the project MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines wrote Townhall in an email “this a question for them, not us.” Most of the groups MSNBC wants their viewers to contact and shape their news coverage on Election Day have […]

Fausta Wertz says this about the 2008 presidential election milieu: We have a confluence of factors here: corrupt, power-hungy politicians like Nancy Pelosi who will go to any lengths to consolidate their stranglehold on the country; Alinksy socialists like Obama who believe in redistributing wealth; people like Ayers who hate America and who want to […]

Do you have an employee or two? Are you an employee at a small business? If you answer yes to either question, you’ll want to read this from the Wall Street Journal: Mr. Obama’s tax increase would hit the bottom line of small businesses in three direct ways. First, because 85% of small business owners […]

The other day, we discussed here (at MelissaClouthier.com for Right Wing News readers) whether Sweden is a canary in the minefield (and yes, I was aware that the statement is “a canary in the coal mine” and that I was mixing metaphors) of Western Civilization. One of the notions of particular interest hinged on this […]

The New York Times reports that the candidates, all of them, have been less than forthcoming about their health histories. The most information shared has come from McCain–the old guy recovering from skin cancer. Most interestingly, Barack Obama and Sarah Palin have been the least open. Obama gave a one page letter and Palin has […]

So the Republican party today is “vulgar” according to Peggy Noonan: In the end the Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in American politics. It’s no good, not for conservatism and not for the country. And yes, it is a mark against John McCain, against his judgment and idealism. When […]

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 […]

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 […]

Forget Jeff Foxworthy, that’s too low-brow, Rethuglican humor for ya’ll. Enter the erudite Dr. Obama. You might be a socialist….. ……if you believe in the redistribution of wealth. Obama said to a small business owner yesterday and Rachel Lucas reports: “It’s not that I wanna punish your success, I just wanna make sure that everybody […]

How much of the Barack Obama lovefest is rooted in Baby Boomer narcissism? That’s the question that occurred to me while contemplating why so many in the generation ahead of mine seemed so excited and irrationally so, about Barack Obama or even Hillary Clinton becoming president. The worship takes turns both comical and disturbing. The […]

In America, only rich people have school choice, such is the stranglehold the union has over education. Poor and middle income people find themselves stuck with what they get. When it comes to education, the Teacher’s Union is not pro-choice. They are for salaries disconnected from performance and they are for guaranteed employment. The Mexican […]
