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 […]

Yes, this video isn’t even close to new, but I saw it again today and it just never gets old. If you haven’t seen this yet, make sure you do. It’ll be the best 18 seconds of your morning. Update #1: Incidentally, Afro Ninja may not have landed on his feet in the video, but […]

It looks like America might not be willing to slit its wrists on the media’s command after all. USA Today ruefully admits that McCain leads the flagging Wizard of Uhs by 10 points among those most likely to vote, largely thanks to Saracuda having put an end to the enthusiasm gap. As we go into […]

As RWN’s regular readers already know, I have been a harsh critic of John McCain for a long time and back in May, I wrote a post called, “Why I Will No Longer Support John McCain For President.” That post was widely linked and was probably why I was blackballed from the Republican National Convention. […]

At this point no one can argue that the press and elites editorializing on major newspaper pages, lead by a coterie of elite women including Maureen Dowd, Andrea Mitchell, Sally Quinn, Gloria Steinem and even, in an unguarded moment, Peggy Noonan, have been kind to Sarah Palin and her family. Scurrilous rumors began swirling the […]

First off, here’s an hour long interview I did with Skewz that focused on media bias. I thought they asked some really good questions. Next up, you can listen to my appearance this week-end on Meet the New Press. Last but not least, if you haven’t checked it out already, make sure to listen to […]

Make no mistake about it; the Left’s attacks on Sarah Palin’s family are meant to be a Mafia style message to other conservative women — you cross us and we’ll come after your children. If you want to see how far they’ll go, witness this entry from an anonymous blog dedicated to attacking Trig Palin […]

The next few weeks are going to be very interesting in terms of political strategy as well as tactics. The introduction of Sarah Palin into the electoral mix has badly disconcerted the Dems and thrown them off stride. The Obama campaign’s initial reaction was to go after her directly by questioning her credentials and experience. […]

Protesters were arrested for being violent, so, it must be time for human rights groups to throw a hissy fit. From one of my new favorite news sites, Canadian Free Press: Use of Force Against RNC Protesters ‘Disproportionate,’ Charges Amnesty Int’l The cleaning crews hadn’t even started their work in St. Paul following the end […]

Blogger Charlie Martin has compiled a long list of rumors (which he notes have been debunked) that have been spread by the far left and some in the mainstream media about Gov. Sarah Palin. It’s a post that should be bookmarked as he plans on adding to it each time a new rumor is started […]

What do you get from the Democrats if you do a Google search for SARAH PALIN SPEECH? And what are the intellectual property law implications of it? Well, at least as of last night, you got something other than what you were most probably looking for, if you clicked on the top “sponsored link” for […]

Don’t feel too bad if you don’t know that Richard Greene has a radio show called “Clout.” It’s on Air America which means, of course, that the title is pretty ironic, even if it isn’t meant that way. Greene is one of those lefties who cannot fathom any reasoned basis for disagreement with his political […]

Found this from VIRGINIA H. SHANAHAN who asks: Perhaps Obama can share with us what major changes have occurred during this time that he now believes himself prepared to be President of the United States. What are your qualifications? Answer: Zip, nada, zeros, goose eggs! Crossposted from Stop the ACLU

If you want chills, make sure to watch this all the way to the very end! They died for a purpose not a mistake. Hat tip: Big Dog!

Crossposted from Stop the ACLU: My co-blogger Roger wrote about this on the September 1st, and yes the entire Democratic party should be ashamed. Of course, they aren’t. So, why wouldn’t people question your patriotism when you treat the flag like this? This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver […]

Tropical storm Hanna blew through my neck of the woods last night and happily, it turned out that it hit like John Edwards. There were some small and medium sized branches down and a neighbor’s picket fence blew over, but there didn’t seem to be any major damage. At the moment, it has stopped raining, […]
