The “Good” Republicans Kill Conservatism

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  March 11th at 10:30 AM  | 

Step forward, Senators McCain and Graham: we hear That you are good men. You cannot be bought, But only because the McCain-Feingold Law prohibits those who would spend their money to inform the electoral process from speaking. You hold to what you said. But what did you say? Or do you even deign to address those who you consider to be silly, or hobbits? You | Read More »

John McCain Should Be President. He Has Some Explaining To Do.

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  July 30th at 09:47 AM  | 

Today I again wish Barack Obama had lost the election of 2008. Again, I wish that John McCain were the president. Ironically, today at least, this has nothing to do with any particular disagreement I have with how President Obama is handling his duties. Today, at least, it has nothing to do with the fact that I admired the courage and grace shown by Sarah | Read More »

You Just Can’t Trust John McCain. (HEE-Hee-Hee)

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  November 20th at 02:42 PM  | 

John McCain has recently shown Joe Lieberman and Lindsay Graham the same deeply abiding loyalty that his campaign staff once showed to Governor Palin. In other words, the wheel on the bus are going thump, thump, thump. The issue leading to the latest tergiversation from “Our Friend” Senator McCain is Cap and Trade. It seems he’s found a really cool way of pretending he’s still | Read More »

Vote, Forrest, Vote!

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  October 30th at 08:35 PM  | 

Thanks to Bob Cesca, spittle-flecked, cretinous moorlock/blogger for The Huffington Post, I now know what I must do. I must join ACORN and acquire the right to vote seventeen times in next Tuesday’s election. Then, I must cast my multiple ballots, and Rocky’s and Bullwinkle’s multiple ballots as well, on behalf of Sarah Palin. Coincidentally, that’ll help some guy named McCain. But then again, a | Read More »

Time For A Rudimentary History Lesson

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  October 22nd at 07:19 PM  | 

Ruth Marcus, Reporter for The Washington Post, is a fairly accurate barometer by which we can estimate how much our elite intelligentsia really understands the nation it condescends to and calls stupid. Cry the beloved country. Her latest reading shows us the presence of an intellectual low pressure system. Ramesh Ponnuru stands appropriately gobsmacked. Ruth Marcus writes, “McCain’s angry denunciation of socialist wealth-spreading ignores the | Read More »

Deus Ex Machina

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  October 16th at 08:12 PM  | 

Presidential Elections often change direction due to factors beyond the control of the competing campaigners. Often, unpredictable events occur, or something beneath the surface “just clicks.” No one really plans these events, they just beset candidates for office. Like the infamous Dukakis Tank Ride, Barack Obama’s Joe the Plumber Dialogue may have just given the GOP a gift from the gods. After that delightfully funny | Read More »

At Last, I Get It

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  September 24th at 08:24 PM  | 

I’ll be the first to admit it. I’ll laugh at myself on this one so that you guys don’t have to. John McCain wasn’t sacrificing anything by suspending his campaign. He was calling “Vegas Harry’s” bluff. Senator Reid opined that he could read minds when he offered up the following bit of “truthiness” regarding Senator McCain’s position on the bailout. “I got some good news | Read More »

John McCain; Egregiously Telling the Truth

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  September 16th at 08:55 PM  | 

The issue of Barack Obama’s tendency to tell voters one thing on foreign policy while telling actual foreign governments something else initially gained currency during The Ohio Democratic Primary. He told a debate audience he would renegotiate NAFTA. He had warned Canada already not to worry about what he had to tell the rubes in order to win. He was against; before he was for | Read More »

Defining Country First

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  September 11th at 08:56 PM  | 

John McCain succeeded far beyond our expectations of the man. He hosted a rousing GOP Convention with the theme “Country First”. While Sarah Palin absolutely dominated the news coverage, John McCain’s message of selfless service did tug the heart strings during the last third of his acceptance speech. “Country First” puts pressure on Senator McCain. It demands that he define that concept in the tangled, | Read More »

Making Senator Kerry Look Principled and Downright Knightly By Comparison

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  July 16th at 02:55 PM  | 

Kerry hadn’t lost the Election of 2004 yet, and he still looked close to victory in August of 2004. He was, however, engaged in an effort to distance himself from the Howard Dean Wing of his party. He had the following to say about his vote to authorize military action in Iraq. “Yes, I would have voted for the authority. I believe it was the | Read More »
