There is an unfortunate tendency by Conservatives, particularly on TV, to acquiesce – sometimes without really being conscious of it – to false premises put to them by liberals, either simply for the sake of argument so they can move on or just simply because they want to get along. An example is Michael Steele nodding along to D.L. Hughley saying the GOP Convention looked | Read More »
As Ann Coulter has noted, the Media has three standard ready-made templates for public consumption when it comes to Republicans, particularly Republicans it views as a threat to their Left-Wing compatriots’ in politics on the national stage; a Republican is either [1] dumb/stupid, [2] evil/corrupt or [3] “out of touch”. Reagan, Bush 43 and Dan Quayle were neatly pigeon-holed into category 1, while Bush 41, | Read More »
Please take a look at this interchange between John Ziegler and Contessa Brewer on Barack Obama’s MSNBC. (H/T: crippy) John Ziegler just demonstrated the picture-perfect attitude to take towards the “reporters” and “anchors” at any and all of the Democratic networks; ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc. Some variant of disdain, contempt or somewhere in between. No liberal-talking point assertion or premise should be left | Read More »
The decision to give it to Jindal to deliver the response to President Obama’s address to Congress is an uncommonly good one – I wouldn’t have thought it would ever occur to the fossilized mind-set of the GOP leadership; someone must have dropped IQ pills in Boehner and McConnell’s water. Hopefully the effect would last for a while. But credit where credit’s due. This was | Read More »
McCain campaign officials have apparently informed James Pethokoukis that John McCain, most likely after taking the advice of some of the many former Bush aides that have somehow managed to get themselves hired by his campaign, has decided to adopt the “New Tone” and go easy on the Democrats and the huge role they played in creating the financial crisis together with Fannie, Freddie and | Read More »
Madam Governor, I’ll be brief because I know you’re a busy woman at the moment. I’ll therefore be frank. Your last interview, the one with Katie Couric, yes, that one – it was bad. Which means it was actually atrocious because at this particular point in time, you cannot afford to have a bad day on national television. You’re very obviously an extremely intelligent and | Read More »
This might make me very unpopular, but I have to be honest, I now think McCain picking Sarah Palin for his Vice-President was a mistake … that is; if what he really was looking for in a VP was nothing more than a highly-scripted cheerleader, then picking Governor Palin was not the wisest decision; In fact, it could not just lose him the election, but | Read More »
After going crazy with spreading all sorts of deranged theories about Sarah Palin and her family (including “Trig-gate”), it looks like we are to look forward to a more sober (and perhaps, effective) approach and push back against a continuous steady dripping of deceptive articles and headlines from now on till election day from a Press Corps seeking to falsify Sarah Palin’s record in Alaska | Read More »
The general consensus from watching the Palin interview on ABC is that Governor Palin did good – a good B. But it would seem that she acquitted herself much better against Charles Gibson than ABC was apparently comfortable showing the American people. Going by the full transcript of the interrogation interview my immediate suspicion that a lot of stuff was being left on the cutting | Read More »
I think Palin would do well to have her own cameraman openly recording in the room with Charlie Gibson’s crew during the remaining interviews. From what I’m seeing, there’s a lot of stuff on the cutting room floor that probably shouldn’t be there … including Gibson’s condescending attitude. Gibson would be spooked … and that’s a good thing. Because he’ll know that whatever he cuts | Read More »
The Washington Post’s front pager about Sarah Palin’s per diem expenditure for her upkeep as Governor of Alaska demonstrates one of the Left-Wing news media’s (especially print media) most disingenuous and corrupt practices – the use of newspaper headlines (and often, ledes) as a sort of push-poll mechanism against political foes. If any set of people should know the power of words to convey deeper | Read More »
Okay … so the new talking point making the rounds on the Left is that Sarah Palin is afraid of her lack of experience, knowledge, intelligence, accomplishment and basic humanity being exposed by those paragons and arbiters of honesty, courage, strength, fairness and objectivity. As evidence, they are pointing to Palin’s absence from the Sunday morning talk shows. What is she (and John McCain) afraid | Read More »
This was supposed to be posted prior to the speech yesterday, but my computer decided to crash and die on me just as I was about clicking ‘save’ …{snarl} Well … the past few days have been quite a revelation, haven’t they? John McCain (who seems to have wisened up considerably) introduced the nation to his pick for the Vice-Presidency and the media quickly set | Read More »
Unfortunately, I have to agree with SICon here. Much as politics should take a back seat here in a perfect world, I need not remind anyone here that that world is not the Planet Earth. Quite frankly, this news is not good for the McCain/Palin ticket. Neither the Left nor the Right are going to change their minds over this. SoCons are not going to | Read More »
