Looking back on the female vote for President since 1980, in only two years- 1984 (56%) and 1988 (50%)- did Republicans capture at least 50% of the vote. Reagan’s high of 56% is particularly striking since in 1984 he ran against Mondale who had a female as his Vice Presidential pick. As that episode proved, and as the inclusion of Palin in 2008 proved, putting | Read More »
Recently, Barack Obama gave a speech on immigration to an adoring audience in El Paso, Texas. That speech was generally panned by those on the right, the left, the middle, the upside downs, the sideways, and most importantly the Hispanic community. Instead of offering up a coherent Administration policy and strategy, he delivered a highly partisan speech dripping in sarcasm that attracted guffaws from the | Read More »
Goodwin Liu is Obama’s nominee to fill a created seat on the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. A cloture vote is scheduled for today. There are actually two issues here- whether judicial nominees should be filibustered, and the second issue is Liu himself. Lets take the filibuster question first. Thinking back to the Bush Administration, the filibuster was a common tactic used against | Read More »
From a fiscal standpoint, perhaps the most dangerous Democratic constituency are the environmentalists. What one cannot achieve legislatively, one can achieve through the regulatory apparatus of the EPA. As long as liberal nut cases like Carol Browner, Lisa Jackson and Steven Chu are in charge, that threat exists. Fortunately, there are fact checkers who question the premises of the Al Gore crowd. Unfortunately, because of their | Read More »
I just have to fire off a quick diary entry here because I almost busted by laptop. Did anyone have the unfortunate opportunity to see Rachel Maddow on Monday night? If not, you can view the pertinent video at RealClearPolitics- just type in “Maddow+man cave+ Daniels” into the search box. There, you will see a 19-minute video from the May 16th show where she | Read More »
In a way, it would seem strange that conservatives and Republicans should even contemplate or worry about the gay vote. Some estimates of the gay community in America puts it no higher than pehaps 3.5% of the population, or 9 million Americans. The actual number of gays is not the problem per se, but the number of gay agenda sympathizers is the problem. Lets | Read More »
It was Vladimir Lenin who said, “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” These words sometimes remind me of higher education today where students are introduced to the nuances of forced political correctness, with that PC being anything the liberal staff and administration of the bulk of our institutes of higher learning mandate at | Read More »
When discussing the Internet, Al Gore’s great contribution to the world before drawing our attention to the dangers of man-made global warming, and political websites, there are a couple of ways to look at it. First, there is no doubt that the traditional news outlets (especially NBC) and the print media like Newsweek approach the news from a left-leaning viewpoint while it is also | Read More »
Perhaps the toughest group to get through to are the self-appointed liberal elites, especially those in Washington, DC. These are the alleged liberal intelligentsia that populate the liberal think tanks, the likes of the Washington Post, and especially the worst of the ilk- the Georgetown cocktail circuit. They rival those of the Hollywood circuit, the North Shore of Chicago, New York’s Upper East Side | Read More »
There is no doubt that the mainstream media, by and large, is in the pocket of liberals in general, and the Democratic Party in particular. Whether it was Dan Rather’s quickness to run a false story to sully a sitting Republican President (thanks Dan and CBS News for that backfiring October surprise), or other anchors like Katie Couric and Brian Williams, the bias against | Read More »
