Sen. John McCain appeared on Jay Leno’s show last night. When the topic of discussion turned to Sarah Palin and the smears directed at her from within his campaign, he didn’t “name names” or have even one harsh word of criticism for any member of his campaign organization. Here’s a video of the segment: Well, that certainly was devoid of passion, not to mention conviction. | Read More »
Martin Eisenstadt fesses up and identifies himself as the previously unidentified source who told Carl Cameron’s Fox producers that Sarah Palin didn’t know that Africa was a continent. And the real kicker is that he’s says he’s proud of it!
Dear Sen. McCain: Sir, you must be aware that the media has been on fire passing along vicious rumors from unattributed sources within your campaign attacking Sarah Palin. You are the only one who can put an end to this. You chose your campaign staff, and you chose your running mate. To paraphrase Harry Truman, the buck stops with you. If you are indeed the | Read More »
The electorate voted for change yesterday. Now we will see what kind of change they will get. We will also see that with change comes opportunity. First, a mea culpa…
In two previous postings, here and here, I have discussed six reasons why Sen. John McCain should emerge victorious in tomorrow’s race for the White House. To recap, they are media bias, oversampling of Democrats by most polling organizations, Obama campaign smugness, his long list of criminal and radical associates, the center-right majority of America’s voters and the uncounted millions of PUMAs hiding under cover, | Read More »
In a recent posting , I went on the record to say that John McCain should win the presidential election Tuesday, and I listed five reasons which lead me to this conclusion. They are media bias, pollster oversampling of Democrats, Obama campaign hubris, the Democrat candidate’s many suspect associations and the fact that the American electorate has a center-right majority. There is a sixth reason | Read More »
When it comes to political public opinion polls, if I had to pick the one which I would trust more than all the others, it would be the Battleground Poll. Unlike most other polls, the Battleground presidential poll is a bipartisan effort of The Tarrance Group, a company with Republican clients, and Lake Snell Perry & Associates, a polling firm which serves Democrats. Of the | Read More »
Obama’s connections to 1960s radical domestic terrorist Bill Ayers is one thing. Other than the three Weather Undergrounders who accidentally blew themselves up, the WU “only” killed three people – two LEOs and a Brinks guard. Of course if that bomb hadn’t gone off prematurely, many military NCOs, their spouses and dates would have been killed or maimed (the bomb was packed with nails to | Read More »
“Mainstream media” (MSM) never was an accurate representation of what this country’s major print and broadcast news sources are and what they do. “Mainstream” is defined, when used as an adjective, as “representing the prevailing attitudes, values and practices of a society or group.” The media, as a group, certainly has a set of prevailing attitudes, values and practices, but they are not those of | Read More »
On NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson voiced confidence in the long term fundamentals of the U.S. economy. According to Reuters: Asked about the fundamentals of the U.S. economy, Paulson said, “I won’t bet against the American people … We will work through this.” John McCain has taken quite a beating from the Left and its captive media for saying essentially the | Read More »
It’s clear what major liberal media outlets such as the New York Times and CNN, driven by their more unhinged counterparts on the left end of the blogosphere, are trying to do. They are slinging as much manure as they can wallow in at Sarah Palin, John McCain’s choice to run with him as the GOP’s vice presidential nominee, hoping enough of it will stick | Read More »
Thursday night/Friday morning, on the eve of John McCain’s announcement of who his running mate would be, was an all-nighter for this scribe. I really was tired and sleepy, but I just couldn’t make myself go to bed. Instead I was following this thread of comments on the Draft Sarah Palin For Vice President website. Adam Brickley, who created the site in February of 2007, | Read More »
I’ve already shown how Sarah Palin would be a smart pick by John McCain to be his running mate. In light of recent events, she’s looking like a smarter selection . The announcement made early this morning by the Obama camp that Delaware Senator Joe Biden is Obama’s choice to share the Democrat presidential ticket with him sets the stage for McCain to name his | Read More »
I’m not talking about the mere physical attractiveness of Alaska’s governor, though she has been blessed with an abundance of that gift. Palin was a competitor in the 1984 Miss Alaska beauty pageant after being named Miss Wasilla earlier that year, where she also won Miss Congeniality honors. No, what I’m dicussing here is beauty in the political sense – as in the beauty of | Read More »
Those who are fond of repeating the Democrats’ talking point that a McCain victory would be a “Bush third term” should consider this: After meeting with Vladimir Putin in 2001, President Bush said: I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straight forward and trustworthy and we had a very good dialogue. I was able to get a sense of | Read More »
While channel surfing last night, I caught this moveon.org attack ad aimed at GOP nominee in waiting John McCain:
Dick Morris was once a hotshot consultant who was eagerly sought out by politicians from Bill Clinton to Vincente Fox. Now he’s been reduced to writing columns for the lightly-regarded NewsMax.com. How the mighty have fallen! The major reason for Morris’ downfall is that he’s just been wrong too many times. Morris is the guy who missed the boat in 2003, saying that he “didn’t | Read More »
Ten: Values. Romney has proven himself acceptable to evangelicals on moral issues. His speech on religion was a home run which underlined the bedrock principle that liberty is bound to religious faith: RUSH: I want to start with Mitt Romney today, Mitt Romney’s speech. Frankly, I thought what we saw today, folks, was a Republican candidate for president giving an inspiring speech. It was an | Read More »
