Here we go….. Okay weird thing, what happened to Obama’s eyebrows? He looks like he has eyebrow shadows. Obama pins the problem on McCain. Um…. Now, why isn’t McCain bringing up his solutions? Obama says that two years ago he warned about the problem. Really? When? I’ve seen the McCain legislation, what did Obama do? […]

After the success I had with posting comments on Twitter during the conventions, I decided to do the same thing for tonight’s debate. (For those who are unfamiliar with Twitter, it is a micro-blogging program that allows people to write mini “blog posts” of 140 characters or less.) I posted my intention to “Twitter” the […]

As John announced earlier, I will be liveblogging the debate tonight here on Right Wing News. In addition to posting my thoughts before, during and after the debate tonight, I will be participating in a unique user-generated media review called “Rate the Debates”–and I encourage you all to do the same. Here’s some of the […]

Since I’m nearly always wrong about this thing, I want to reiterate what I’ve predicted before: McCain will win in a landslide. Maybe this time I’ll be right. Cross-posted at MelissaClouthier.com

The White House, in a failed attempt to save George Bush’s legacy, is pushing a cataclysmically bad, socialistic bailout plan. This plan is unpopular on the left and the right, it’s getting more unpopular by the day, and by election day, the fallout from it will be nuclear. The House Republicans, on the other hand, […]

One of the reasons, or “sticking points” was the usual crap by Democrats trying to shape a bill which would reward their constituencies at the tax payers expense: The payoff to this corrupt organization is one of the major sticking points of the legislation. Yesterday, Senator Lindsey Graham said: “Twenty percent of the money that […]

At last, a lawsuit that deserves to succeed: Former Marine Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt, 24, of Canonsburg [Pennsylvania], will file a civil lawsuit against U.S. Rep. John P. Murtha, D-Johnstown, who was widely quoted two years ago saying that eight Marines carried out a cold-blooded killing of 24 civilians in the Iraqi town on Nov. […]

I got together this afternoon for a short interview with Jim DeMint, the man who could fairly be called the conservative leader of the Senate, to hear what he has to say about the bailout. What follows is the slightly edited transcript of our conversation. Did Congress help create this problem and if so, how? […]

It’s no wonder we get vague, convoluted hogwash from the media instead of an accurate description of how the economic crisis came about. The true story isn’t all that complicated, but if it were known, the Democrat Party would be finished for a generation. On a tip from Smoke TNT. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

House Republicans “rebelled“, eh? Maybe it’s because their constituents are burning up the phone lines in all out mutiny. The Republicans have acted like Democrats “lite” for years now. I have a newsflash for the Republicans, including McCain, about this whole bill: It feels wrong to fiscal conservatives and taxpayers generally. My most liberal of […]

Tonight, Katie Favazza will be liveblogging the speech (Maybe Melissa Clouthier, too) So, make sure to tune in to RWN at 9 PM EST!

Heather Mac Donald, who is an excellent columnist, has a column out called “Anti-Elitism Goes Too Far.” Here’s an excerpt, Now a natural woman has burst onto the political stage, eliciting the same tropes of authenticity–shootin’, skinnin’, ridin’ (in this case, a snowmobile), and, for the first time, jumpin’. And, as the tradition requires, the […]

“Dear Editor San Francisco judges forbidding our Pledge of Allegiance? They will take the phrase ‘under God’ away from me when my cold, dead lips can no longer utter those words. God Bless America” — Sarah Palin, letter to the editor, 2002

If you closely follow politics, one thing you’ll learn is that liberals often go to great lengths to try to hide what they really believe from the public while conservatives inevitably seem to be trying to correct some misperception that has been spread about them. So, as a creature of the Right and as someone […]

I was talking to one of my sources yesterday and told him that the reaction to the bailout deal reminded me of the very early stages of the immigration debacle, before people became completely infuriated — except, this time the anger is on the Right AND the Left. Every single day since this lousy deal […]

Yesterday afternoon, I put up a poll that asked, “Do you support the 700 billion dollar bailout?” The response was 85% “No” and 15% “Yes.” For once, I think we’ve found something that the Left and Right agree on because via Redstate, we learn that the Kos of Daily Kos fame is actually invoking the […]

This video from Fox shows how the Republicans have been warning about this problem for years while the Democrats have been blocking them. It is must see TV, my friend, and you DEFINITELY will want to watch it. The Barney Frank quote is absolutely priceless. Hat tip to Ace of Spades HQ for the video. […]

We have a little back-and-forth going on in the breaking news department. First we get this: Key lawmakers have reported an agreement in principle on a bailout of the financial industry designed to avert a deeper economic crisis. Emerging from a two-hour negotiating session, Sen. Chris Dodd said, “We are very confident that we can […]

When I wrote this post initially, it was based on two premises that may not turn out to be correct: that the bailout plan is going to pass and that John McCain would support it. Despite the headlines that are out there, it’s not a sure thing on either count yet. So, with that in […]

Ecuador is on the verge of granting human rights to nature. People will be asked to vote on Sunday on a new constitution that would give Ecuador’s tropical forests, islands, rivers and air similar legal rights to those normally granted to humans. If they vote yes — and polls show that 56% are for and […]

That Joe Biden bungles even simple sentences surprises no one, no one, it seems, except Barack Obama. Let me get this straight: Since Barack Obama has no experience, we are supposed to vote for him for his temperament and judgment, right? Well, on the temperament front he seems either unwilling or unable to make a […]

John: Yesterday and the day before, I agreed with you 100 percent–that there was no way a fiscal conservative could ever support the plan as it has been laid out. That is, until I read this article in the Wall Street Journal: My analysis suggests that Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson (a former investment banker, no […]

Apparently the Obamessiah and Shrillary aren’t the only ones to have been heavily influenced by the socialist radical Saul Alinsky. Al Gore, possibly driven to desperation by cooling temperatures, is calling for Alinskyesque tactics to be used against those who inflict electric power on our homes. Nobel Peace Prize winner and environmental crusader Al Gore […]

On the Left, there is no such thing as a “fringe” anymore. I don’t care what sort of wacko left-wing idea you can come up with, there’s a Democrat in power somewhere advocating it. Heck, even their presidential candidate has pal’d around with terrorists like Bill Ayers and virulently anti-white, anti-American scumbags like Jeremiah Wright. […]

John McCain canceled the Friday night debate to head back to D.C. and work on the bailout. He then invited Obama to join him. The idea behind that was probably something along the lines of: #1) It would make McCain look like a leader who puts country first over politics. #2) Obama was put in […]

Hey, it would be really great if you could click on a few of my advertisers to show them that advertising on Right Wing News pays off for them. The more clicks they get, the better value they get for their money, the more likely they are to advertise here again… Link #1 Link #2 […]

So, does anybody think this is a healthy development or is good for the country? Nearly three quarters of the 727,070 El Pasoans last year said buenas noches when they went to sleep and buenos días when they woke up, according to new information released Tuesday by the U.S. Census Bureau. The census’ American Community […]

Normally, I cover the Enquirer beat, but thanks to the sleazebags at Gawker, I don’t even have to buy a copy of the rag to cover their “big” Sarah Palin story. Here’s the short version, Based primarily on the word of an ex-con, the Enquirer is claiming Sarah Palin had an unconsummated (unconsummated?) affair more […]

They were for it, before they were against it, before they were for it again — aww, who can keep up? This would be an outstanding ad to run in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Indiana.
