Via Drudge. “The Obama-McCain match-up is proving to be a lackluster election ticket for the Big 3 network news programs, according to NIELSEN MEDIA RESEARCH. As the shouting from the trail and the frantic spinning from the anchor desks intensify, the audience is voting with their remotes. All 3 evening news shows experienced audience drops […]

When McCain was in the primaries, hard core conservatives — myself included — couldn’t stand the guy and didn’t want him as the nominee while the moderate wing of the party cheered him on and the independents helped catapult him to victory in the early races. Now, it’s late in the campaign and who, for […]

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 […]

At a time when politics seems to be almost completely occupied with the current financial crisis, thousands of social conservatives gathered Sunday evening in front of New Jersey’s State House in Trenton to let the media and legislators know that they weren’t about to let cultural issues get pushed to the backburner. Just less than […]

On Right Wing News Radio this week, I talked about Colin Powell’s endorsement, the state of the campaign, why I’m done talking about Ayers & ACORN, “big government” Republicans, and what — God forbid — an Obama presidency would look like. If you’ve never caught Right Wing News radio, tonight would be a great night […]

Via Hot Air and Ed Morrisey: You know, I get tired of saying things over and over and I’m sure you get tired of reading them (I at least try to say it a little differently each time to cut down on the monotony), but this is important. I remember feeling just like I do […]

Hanoi John Kerry — who whines that he was “swiftboated” because men who had served with him in Vietnam gave the lie to his phony war hero status — had this to say about real war hero John McCain: These are the exciting last two week moments of the presidential campaign. So it’s a very […]

As I was perusing the MailOnline today, I was surprised to see them refer to Sarah Silverman as, and I quote, ‘the funniest woman alive.’ I was not, however, surprised to read this, She bombed as a guest on Jonathan Ross’s show on Friday night and now Sarah Silverman has flopped on stage too. Here’s […]

Here’s another little preview of the totalitarian Twilight Zone we will be entering if the Left is able to slip Obama into the White House. The voter fraud being conducted by his old friends at ACORN has led to Obama calling for a Justice Department investigation — not of ACORN’s systematic fraud, but of the […]

Over at the MailOnline, they are talking about a study that proves what every intellectually honest person who has looked into the issue already knows: that the “pay gap between men and women is not due to discrimination but to their lifestyle choice.” Here are the details, The pay gap between men and women has […]

You think healthcare is expensive now? Well, look to Hawaii to get a preview of what would happen if Obama gets his way and makes healthcare “free,” On March 1, the Hawaii Medical Service Association began enrolling children in the state Keiki (child) Care program. The grand plan was to provide medicine for every child […]

Ross Douthat wrote a piece a few days ago that has been much talked about and even though other people on RWN have commented on it, I just had to get my two cents in on the article. What Is The Conservative Cocoon? …The cocoon is the constellation of mutually-reinforcing conservative institutions – think tanks […]

From the New York Post, “Mark my words,” Biden warned Sunday at a Democratic fund-raiser. “It will not be six months [after the inauguration] before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy.” Then he added, “Watch. We’re going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this […]

(Hawkins’ note: I received this in my email over the week-end and liked it enough to run it. Enjoy!) After talking to a few liberal friends I can to the conclusion that the only way to change peoples minds is to change their perspective. When talking about Obama’s tax plans don’t talk about 95%, but […]

. . . a vote to legitimize terrorism? The Republican Jewish Coalition reminds you to think it over carefully before you vote: Via Hot Air.

Obama’s lame excuses that he did not know how radical Ayers was when he used to hang out with him, will eventually unravel. Here’s some shocking audio from anarchist/marxist, terrorist Bill Ayers from the same week he worked with Obama. Make sure everyone you know sees this. The media will be looping this right after […]

I bet when this 527 group released this excellent ad questioning Obama’s naive foreign policy inexperience, they had no idea that Barack’s own VP pick had the same doubts. The timing couldn’t have been better. I’m late to this gaffetastic slip of truth from Biden so I’ll just round up reactions. Thanks to Cuffy for […]

Uh huh, 7 years later, and some sanity might be prevailing A U.S. military “Red Team” charged with challenging conventional thinking says that words like “jihad” and “Islamist” are needed in discussing 21st-century terrorism and that federal agencies that avoid the words soft-pedaled the link between religious extremism and violent acts. “We must reject the […]

In a bombshell development today, John McCain’s vice presidential running mate Sarah Palin announced that she is throwing her support behind Democratic Party nominee Barack Obama. "After learning that Colin Powell, Tina Fey, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, the entire liberal media establishment, Republican Ken Adelman, Louis Farrakhan, Andrew Sullivan, Peggy Noonan, Jeremiah Wright, […]

It sure has been fun today to watch the left embrace their favorite “Uncle Tom” now that he’s seen the “error of his ways” and endorsed Barack Obama. It is interesting to see how various parts of the left have handled it. For instance one nimrod on Craigslist says: No one will be surprised that […]

So, what is one to do when the more expensive Global Warming friendly disposable diapers HURTS the environment more then the old-fashioned reusable? YOU BURY THE STORY, OF COURSE!: A government report that found old-fashioned reusable nappies damage the environment more than disposables has been hushed up because ministers are embarrassed by its findings. The […]

Kathy Shaidle of Five Feet of Fury has completed her ad about the connection between Barack Obama and Bill Ayers: I’m not so sure about the music, but I think she gets the point across. Personally, at the moment I’m more fixated on Obama’s economic shortcomings, but they are both important issues. Via Right Girl. […]

No, not just a Zogby poll (sometimes too optimistic for our side); Reuters and C-Span also participated. I’m hoping that means the methodology was reasonably balanced. The good news: margin of error is 2.9 points on this. So we’re in a dead heat. Of course, I need to go back and check on the Electoral […]

Moonbats oppose all efficient means of generating the energy we need to survive, and nuclear power is no exception. The latest line of attack: nuclear power plants are hurtful to baby fish. Have a hanky ready… For a newly hatched striped bass in the Hudson River, a clutch of trout eggs in Lake Michigan or […]

A new site is being put together by a colleague of Ace of Spades to keep track of reporters who do not fact-check their stories adequately, who display undue bias, or who go after less-newsworthy targets (e.g., Jodi Kantor serving up warmed-over gossip about Cindy McCain as “news”). The project is very likely too late […]

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 […]

How awful — yet another militant moonbat has fallen victim to a hate crime: A Muslim student attacked at Elmhurst College in what school officials described as a hate crime had found anti-Islamic slurs and a swastika scrawled in her locker a week earlier, police and students said Friday. The 19-year-old sophomore told police a […]

The polls could be wrong. There could be a split between the popular vote and the electoral college vote. Obama Barack could end up losing the election. But let’s say he doesn’t. Given what we’ve seen about a willingness to use the state to enforce opinion from Barack Obama (not that John McCain is blameless)… […]
