In the GOP, the American people gave the GOP a much deserved boot in the rear end, in part, because of corruption issues. In return, they got the least competent, least popular Congress in history — which is run by Democrats. They also got more corruption as evidenced by this story about Charlie Rangel, Embattled […]

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 McCain campaign already has an ad out hammering Obama for his “lipstick on a pig” comment that many people, including my own co-author Melissa Clouthier, believe was deliberately aimed at Palin, Whether it was intentional or unintentional, this was a huge screw-up by Obama for three reasons. #1) Judging by the reaction, his own […]

Over at the British Guardian, liberal Jonathan Freedland has written a column telling Americans how they better vote. A large portion of the column is dedicated to peddling already disproved stories about Sarah Palin, but then he moves on to this, But what of the rest of the world? This is the reaction I fear […]

Charles Murray, author of the new book Real Education, kindly agreed to an interview with me to discuss his new book. You may know him as a coauthor of the bestselling The Bell Curve or from his hit Losing Ground, a book that changed the national conversation about welfare. You may also recognize his name […]

Instapundit has a round-up. Here’s what Obama says (keep in mind that in the clip, the crowd laughs uproariously and clearly believes that Obama is referring to Palin): Here’s the text: You know, you can put lipstick on a pig,” Obama said, “but it’s still a pig.” The crowd rose and applauded, some of them […]

Via The Radio Equalizer, here’s how Air America klaxon and avid Obama supporter Randi Rhodes describes the years of torture John McCain endured at the hands of Vietnamese communists because he wouldn’t accept release before others who had been incarcerated longer: Of course he (McCain) became very friendly with the Vietnamese. They called him the […]

I and others have mentioned ad nauseum how the media (and Democrats) seem unable to find a way to approach (attack?) the the Palin phenomenon (I think that’s a fair description to this point) in a steady, measured way. They’ve been all over the place trying to marginalize the Alaska governor and have seen all […]

Environmental lunacy has noticeably hampered our economy by driving up gas prices. But in Africa, the effects of pious political correctness have been even more pernicious. Western do-gooders are impoverishing Africa by promoting traditional farming at the expense of modern scientific agriculture, according to Britain’s former chief scientist. Professor Sir David King laments: I’m going […]

Tonight at 8 PM EST, it’ll once again be time for Right Wing News Radio. The show will run 30 minutes and my guests will be Lorie Byrd, a columnist for Townhall who also blogs at Wizbang, the former editor of Townhall Magazine, Katie Favazza and Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs. PS: You can also […]

I’ve seen liberals in the mainstream media really stretch to come up with a “scandal” before, but this latest story in the Washington Post is one of the biggest reaches I’ve ever seen. The headline is “Palin Billed State for Nights Spent at Home Taxpayers Also Funded Family’s Travel” and it’s on page A01 of […]

It’s always a good idea to take focus group data with a grain of salt. Heck, for that matter, it’s a good idea to take pretty much everything said by the mainstream media about politics with a grain of salt. Here’s just one more reason why that’s the case, A Detroit Free Press editor expressed […]

Granted, the Skipper never wanted to raise your taxes, Gilligan never supported banning all hand guns, and neither of them liked to pal around with unrepentant terrorists and anti-white reverends, but it still fits pretty well anyway. I mean, can’t you just see Joe Biden whacking Obama with his hat after B.O. said something dumb […]

This is a strong, new video from the McCain campaign. The voice guy is what really makes it hum. Hat tip to Hot Air for the video.

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 […]

Glenn Reynolds says something I’ve been thinking: But I think that Republicans should be careful about launching a cult of Sarah Palin. She’s the V.P. pick, not the head of the ticket. She’s still a relative newcomer to national politics. She’s virtually sure to commit at least one major mistake between now and November. And […]

Barack Obama during an interview with George Stephanopoulos: Let’s not play games. I was suggesting – you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. I’m of course not suggesting that Obama actually meant that he’s a Muslim, or that his statement was anything other than a misleading choice of words, […]

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 […]

Nutroots kooks are scurrying for safe holes in the baseboards, having realized that the media’s campaign to pass off Barack Obama as a credible presidential candidate is doomed to failure. Amusingly, they choose to blame the very media that set the unqualified junior nobody up on his post. In a HuffPo post entitled, “We’re Gonna […]

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

As RWN’s regular readers already know, RWN, in concert with the David All Group, is running four different week long contests that hand out $50 to the best anti-socialized medicine posts in the blogosphere. This week’s winner is Paul Hsieh from We Stand Firm for his post “UK Doctors Withholding Treatment Information From Patients.” He’ll […]

Poll numbers come and poll numbers go. McCain/Palin are now enjoying an expected convention bounce which has put them, depending on which poll you consult, anywhere from 2 points to 10 points ahead. But that’s going to change as we continue to move toward the election. That means it’s a little early to put too […]

“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 […]

The Anchoress writes today about the charge that those who hold that the Christian ideal of virginity and also support Bristol Palin reveal themselves to be hypocrites: Listen: chastity is the ideal; of course it is the ideal, and it is an achievable one, but only if it is understood as valuable, to start with. […]

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 […]
