The first and the most important theme is that of the “Electable Democrat”. Prior to Iowa, the political world wondered if Barack Obama was really politically viable as a candidate. His win in Iowa changed that, at least to the degree than he was taken much more seriously. NH slowed it down a touch, but […]

Christian Brando is dead at 49, of pneumonia. There’s no report of why pneumonia took Brando’s life — whether he had a weakened immune system, for example, or was just a victim of circumstance. It’s an early end for an incredibly troubled life. If you need any further evidence of the destruction that is regularly […]

Democrats who apparently support Barack Obama are becoming angrier and more vocal by the day in their condemnation of Bill and Hillary Clinton. First up for your reading pleasure is Jonathan Chait at the Los Angeles Times, with Is the Right Right on the Clintons? Something strange happened the other day. All these different people […]

Change, Change, Change: Everyone seems to be campaigning as the candidate of change, but what does that mean exactly? Wouldn’t a depression be a change? How about basing our economy on Communism instead of Capitalism? That would be a change, right? In fact, I think that’s pretty much the core of Hillary’s platform. Speaking of […]

Question: I believe the biggest reason the most conservative Republicans did not get much traction (there’s two actually) 1)The drive-bys and mainstream media are ignoring them. 2)They are also not the best speakers of the group—-also Tancredo has been portrayed as a kook since day one. What do you think? Michael Bush PS-Mitt has been […]

Question: How seriously do you take polls? I know you use them quite often to support an opinion, but do you really think they’re that accurate? I, for one, have never participated in any survey or polls (Gallup, Rasmussen, or any others). I don’t personally know anybody else who has either. Most people I know […]

Question: “I don’t know about you, but it seems lately that my dollars are purchasing less and less these days and I feel it everytime I have to pump gas into my car or purchase goods from the local Wal-Mart. I’m not getting a raise this year because my company is not making any money […]

I’ll be liveblogging the GOP debate tonight at 9 PM EST. 9:01: Ok, almost time to rock and roll. The latest Florida polls seem to show McCain and Romney duking it out for the top spot with Romney closing the gap and in some polls pulling ahead, no doubt on the strength of Fred’s supporters […]

From an email I received yesterday, “I don’t understand why you are so convinced Romney cannot win a general election. Rasmussen has had a couple of polls out in the last couple of months that actually have him slightly ahead of Hillary. And even the USA Today Gallup poll had him well within striking distance […]

“Hillary Clinton will say anything to get elected.” — A Barack Obama radio commercial in SC

You have to hand it to the Clintons. The damage they’ve done to Barack Obama by injecting race into the campaign is perversely brilliant. Evil — but, perversely brilliant. Here you have Barack Obama, a younger, more charismatic, more likable politician than Hillary who has all the same views and 1/10 the baggage. Moreover, he’s […]

This is what the political correctness crowd in America would be doing if they were as strong as they are in Europe, A story based on The Three Little Pigs has been rejected by a Government-backed awards event because it might offend Muslims… and builders. The digital book, retelling the classic children’s tale, was criticised […]

My former employer, Duncan Hunter, who was very well received in the blogosphere, despite not doing so well in the primaries, has endorsed Mike Huckabee. Some people are wondering why he chose Huckabee. For example, my buddy SarahK and I had an instant messenger conversation that went like so, last night (This has been edited […]

A large part of America’s energy dependence on foreign sources can be traced to Sept. 18, 1996, when President Bill Clinton stood on the edge of the Grand Canyon on the Arizona side and signed an executive proclamation making 1.7 million acres of Utah a new national monument. …At the time, the Clintons were worried […]

With Fred Thompson out of the race, there are probably a lot of Fredheads wondering who to back now. The good news is that there are still 5 candidates left in the race. The bad news is that all of the candidates are extremely flawed and have more weaknesses than strengths. Here’s a short and […]

“I’ve written plenty before about how my feminism and atheism are closely entwined. Realizing that religion is used as a cheap excuse to oppress women leads to questioning the value of religion leads to realizing that the god stuff is a big fairy tale that has stayed alive because it’s convenient for the powers that […]

Can you imagine going to a hotel so you could stay in the Hitler suite? The Anti-Defamation League is demanding that a Belgrade hotel remove the large portrait of Adolf Hitler and change the theme of its most popular suite. The Mr. President Hotel, in Belgrade, Serbia, offers hotel rooms named after past or present […]

“You can’t get good Chinese takeout in China and Cuban cigars are rationed in Cuba. That’s all you need to know about communism.” – PJ O’Rourke This story about Zimbabwe, which used to be called the breadbasket of Africa before race-baiting socialist Robert Mugabe evicted the white farmers that were feeding the country from their […]

With Fred Thompson leaving the race, a lot of people are wondering whom his supporters will gravitate towards. First off, I’ve seen a couple of online polls (here & here) that indicate Fred’s supporters will break heavily towards Mitt Romney, at 70% plus clip. On the other hand, when I polled bloggers on this topic, […]

“A sister’s comment that she was comforted after her brother’s death in a catastrophic car crash by knowing he died doing what he loved — drinking and driving fast — has stirred up a wave of outrage along the foothills of Colorado. Lorie Flaherty told the Boulder Daily Camera after her brother was one of […]

If you missed the Democratic debate last night, you have nothing to worry about because I’ve hit all the key points in just over 3 minutes of video. Put another way, I cut out all the clips that featured the candidates pitching socialist ideas, pledging to surrender in Iraq, or repeating the same tired campaign […]

I got an email yesterday about my, A Double Edged Warning For The Conservative Media About John McCain, post. Here it is, I have to ask, what do you think of the current level of discourse in our party? I just tried to read through to comments section on your post about McCain but it […]

The Democratic debate last night was certainly more interesting than the Vegas lovefest. Still, the Democratic debates are always ultimately a little scary, because all the candidates believe in “promise everything to everybody” socialism. The solution to every problem is attacking successful people and businesses, spending more tax dollars, and giving more power to the […]

Over at the Radio Equalizer, he’s noting that some people are asserting that the rise of John McCain means that conservative talk radio is impotent. For example, he notes that talk radio host and McCain fan Michael Medved said, The big loser in South Carolina was, in fact, talk radio: a medium that has unmistakably […]
