Originally published at The Minority Report [This is my reply to a former newspaper editor of mine from my years in Atlanta 2001-2006, who asked if I still thought the republican would win in a landslide.] Dear Madam Editor Hey gal! Good to hear from you. Well, a landslide, whether electoral or popular, by either of our definitions, looks unlikely (by either) given that the | Read More »
Originally published By Mike DeVine as Legal Editor for The Minority and HinzSight Reports As usual the mainstream media, and that includes Fox News, misses the big story while they act out their roles on “game-changers” and their historically ignorant and discredited “Debate Moment” theory of Presidential election outcomes. The game changer is not a debate moment. Its that liberals rarely win this game. But | Read More »
Columbus discovered us, and thank God for it Happy Columbus Day! And yes, there are good reasons to be happy.

Originally published By Mike DeVine as Legal Editor for The Minority and HinzSight Reports Yesterday, Representative John Lewis(D-GA), and surrogate for the Barack Obama campaign, compared John McCain to former Alabama Governor George Wallace in blaming the McCain-Palin campaign for outrageous statements about Obama shouted out by people attending their rallies.

[We swap editing roles for this one.] Originally published by Mike DeVine as Legal Editor for The Minority and HinzSight Reports My brilliant conservative, non-columnist friend in the banking industry desires, and rightfully so, that Obama and the Democrats be hit again and again – at least by McCain and his ads! – on a number of issues.

Originally published by Mike DeVine, the Legal Editor for The Minority and HinzSight Reports [Update - Since my friend called for McCain to act, he has, all week. McCain has called out Dems, including Obama, by name in pinning the cause for the Fannie Mae induced economic crisis on them and showing that he and Palin are the real change.] I had been considering doing | Read More »
Attention all conservative Republican nervous nellies that have declared defeat ad naseum for the last 23 months based on the refusal of our candidate to aggressively attack the opposition: The McCain-Palin campaign is taking the gloves off and attacking Obama’s radical leftism. Baseball happens every Spring. Democrats get exposed for the out of the mainstream leftists they are every fourth October just in time to | Read More »
The party is over. The inebriated invitees depart the party locale for home with their mates. Sober mates of the inebriated (see wives) desire to cure their charges. Some use Folgers ($1.10/cup). Some use No Doze ($2.34/pill). Some use Reds (priceless). All hurl in the Porcelain shrine at various times, but the Folgers drinker has more resources remaining to address dehydration. Would that speed-addicted Congress | Read More »
Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. – Ecclesiastes 1:2 While a Democratic Party official from 1980-1996, I correctly prognosticated, despite favorable national polls, the losses of Carter, Mondale, and Dukakis, and as a converted Republican, the losses of Gore and Kerry. I believe Obama is unelectable. I predicted the ending of the oil drilling moratorium two months ago, the | Read More »

Barack Obama owns the defeat of the Wall Street bail-out bill today, more so than Speaker Pelosi, President Bush or anyone else. Obama has held himself out for over a year as The One we have been waiting for to change old politics and unify us. When the crisis broke out over ten days ago, he scoffed at McCain’s flight to D.C. to return to | Read More »
Defeat the Senate Bill in the House [update, October 3, 2008 – McCain and House Republicans emerged as conservative heroes when they improved the Paulson Wall Street Bailout, and, despite the pork the Senate included, it improved a bit more with the AMT change. But I still opposes the bill because I don’t think we need to commit so much taxpayer money to increasing the | Read More »
“…I urge you to beware the temptation of pride – the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history…” – President Ronald Reagan [Monday, September 29, 2008 Update] I am proud that the House GOP refused to ratify socialism today and that 100+ democrats jack-slapped the Speaker and the one.

This is vile unless my eyes deceived me. Fox News Channel rightly condemns the criminal hacker for violating Palin’s privacy while “reporting” it with pictures millions can download, thus multiplying the criminal’s objective exponentially. The voice over was speaking of pictures of Palin’s emails and address book while shoeing pictures of e-mail addresses. I stopped watching CNN aka The Terrorist Propaganda films of Americans being | Read More »
