Posted at 10:55am on May 8, 2008 Anti-American Democrat Party Bosses Cost Hillary the Nomination

By patriotroom

Every time you have seen delegate totals for Hillary and Obama over the past months, they have shown Obama in the lead. It has never been much of a lead, but, as we have heard over and over, it is mathematically impossible for Hillary to win.

Repetition of that information every day, all day, for months, cements it as a fact in the public's mind. The problem is that those numbers, and the predictions for the remainder of the primaries, assume we have 48 states in our country. Count the stars. We have 50.

Posted at 7:19pm on May 7, 2008 Super Delegate wants to trade bribe for vote

By Illinicon

After the late night/early morning vote counting tactics in Lake County, corruption has yet again risen in the Democratic Primary. This time a super delegate by the name of Steven Ybarra wants $20 million in exchange for his vote. He wants the money so that he can start a voter registration drive to get more Mexican-Americans on the voter rolls for November.

The larger question as it pertains to the Fall campaign is whether or not the super delegates are something we can use against Obama? He proclaims to be anti-lobbyist because they have corrupted the political process with the money they peddle, but is not the same thing if you have promised super delegates your endorsement in their races, cabinet or Ambassador Positions in exchange for their vote? It is something I think the Conservative media should look into because if it comes out he offered patronage for a vote; it can just be another piece of the growing mosaic that despite all of his proclamations, my Junior Senator is just another Old-fashioned Chicago Pol.

By Neil Stevens

Hopefully we can use this quote to illustrate that we are occupying Iraq in exactly the same sense we are occupying Germany: Sure, we're occupying space, but in both cases we are there at the pleasure of the elected governments.

Posted at 1:33pm on May 2, 2008 Regarding racist language used in the Democratic Primary.

Which is, by the way, completely uncalled for.

By Moe Lane

It has come to our attention that there is a video being passed along that purports to be of a Clinton staffer using racist language. See Ben Smith for further details, including claims that it's all bogus anyway (I don't have a link to whichever site's leading the charge that it's not; if you have one, leave it in comments).

Whether or not the specific attack is false or true, one thing is clear: somebody in the Democratic Party's primary process seems to be intimately involved in the act of race-baiting. They should stop doing that.

Now.

Posted at 10:02pm on Apr. 27, 2008 Because I like to watch them die

By Robert A. Hahn

If you were Howard Dean — or one of the employees of the Democratic National Committee’s advertising agency — it would make perfect sense to you that John McCain wishes U.S. troops to remain in Iraq for a hundred years. After all, he’s a Republican. Republicans, as we all know, are warmongering, homophomic racists. Or at least, the cartoon ones who inhabit the brain of Doctor Howard Dean are. In fact the cartoon Republicans that Howard Dean believes in want children to die at young ages of horrible diseases. He said so today on Tim Russert’s Liberal Hour of Power.

Posted at 9:28pm on Apr. 26, 2008 When is taking 18 year olds out of school to vote appropriate? It's NOT!

By Jaded

When I saw this article my first thought was "when is it appropriate to take 18 yr olds out of school to vote"? It is not appropriate it is attempting to jack up the votes for one Barack Hussein Obama...

http://nwi.com/articles/2008/04/24/news/top_news/docfd54d825008dfa858625...

Now I know you are saying "how do you know they are going to vote for Barack"? I checked out the schools to see why these 2 schools were chosen for this "important" civics lesson and here is what I found out..

Posted at 12:12am on Apr. 26, 2008 Another Democrat Sex Scandal

By ElliotE5

There was another Democrat sex scandal this week, leading an Ohio state representative to resign.

Rep. Matt Barrett was giving a civics lecture to a high school class recently when the memory stick from which he was drawing illustrations for the talk put up the picture of a naked woman.

Barrett resigned Thursday after facing pressure from the chamber minority leader.

"It's not a Democratic scandal," the minority leader said. "It's a Matt Barrett scandal.

Posted at 1:37pm on Apr. 24, 2008 Speaker Pelosi, would you kindly *stop* reinforcing that stereotype against Catholics?

It's personally embarrassing.

By Moe Lane

Look, I'm sure that it's a favorite quote and everything, but it's not in the Bible.

Biblical Scholars Challenge Pelosi's 'Scripture' Quote
By Pete Winn
CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer
April 23, 2008

(CNSNews.com) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is fond of quoting a particular passage of Scripture. The quote, however, does not appear in the Bible and is "fictional," according to biblical scholars.

In her April 22 Earth Day news release, Pelosi said, "The Bible tells us in the Old Testament, 'To minister to the needs of God's creation is an act of worship. To ignore those needs is to dishonor the God who made us.' On this Earth Day, and every day, let us pledge to our children, and our children's children, that they will have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and the opportunity to experience the wonders of nature."

Cybercast News Service repeatedly queried the speaker's office for two days to determine where the alleged Bible quote is found. Thus far, no one has responded.

And this isn't the first time that you've used it - nor is this the first time that you've been called on it, either. Unless you have the chapter and verse from Isaiah that this is supposedly from?

Look, it's really simple. Like it or not, we Roman Catholics have a certain reputation for not being Bible scholars, or even being fully Bible literate. It's highly unfair, of course - but you are not helping matters any by repeatedly getting this wrong. Seriously, you're only reinforcing the stereotype, and making the rest of us look bad.

So stop, already. Go talk about Tibet or something, instead.

Posted at 11:42am on Apr. 23, 2008 Can Schrödinger’s Dead Cat Bounce through Walls?

By Repair Man Jack

The metaphors in the title above are decidedly mixed and somewhat mordant. So were the results from yesterday’s Pennsylvania Primary. Unless you believe the popular theory here on the Right that Hillary is one of the undead; she lived to fight another day. But rational people can certainly feel entitled to ask her why.

Hillary will amuse the armchair philosophers of Blogistan by aggressively affirming the consequent. She will argue that Democratic candidates able to win the Presidency carry Pennsylvania with regularity. She will remind us with her customary subtlety that she just took the Keystone State. We will be left to stagger down the logical blind alley like a plastered scrummy after a rugby party, and conclude only Hillary can derail The Straight Talk Express.™

Like so much of what the Clinton’s have to tell us, this serves the truth about as well as Civil War field hospitals could cure a tooth ache. The pain was gone, once the surgeon finished his decapitation. Suffice it to say, that affirming the consequent is to logical articulation what Pig Latin is to Standard American English.

Mathematician-cum-Philosopher Nassim Talib describes what Hillary is trying to sell us in his amusing rumination on life as a Wall Street Trader entitled Fooled By Randomness. A proper logical argument would read all members of the Smith family are tall. Joe Smith is related to those particular Smiths. Joe should be pretty tall. Hillary does the opposite. She tells us Joe’s too tall to ride in the Mini Cooper. His last name therefore must be Smith.

Posted at 10:25am on Apr. 18, 2008 The Gathering Storm over Denver.

...Yes, it's a cliche. You know why people use cliches?

By Moe Lane

Seeing this blog entry on Recreate 68 and their plans for the Denver convention, I did a bit more in the way of searching for news on what's supposed to be going down there. A mild amount of digging came across this video:

Recreate '68

(Via Slapstick Politics; check out also The Drunkablog, who has apparently been personally insulted by Ward Churchill.)

...which is a roundtable between Denver Councilman Charlie Brown and Recreate 68 spokesman (said with malice aforethought) Glenn Spagnuolo. It's both somewhat long and not particularly sexy, but you should watch it anyway. Particularly if you're somebody telling yourself the fairy tale that the streets of Denver will flow milk and honey once the DNC nominates that nice Senator Obama.

Read on.

Posted at 12:20am on Apr. 17, 2008 William Ayers and Sen. Coburn

What is the difference between a terrorist and a Senator?

By Adam C

I don't get offended easily and I'm not one who cares for a lot of harping on things besides issues. But Sen. Obama compared convicted terrorist William Ayers to Sen. Coburn tonight. While trying to explain why he is friends with a convicted terrorist, Sen. Obama said that he was also friends with Sen. Coburn who supports the death penalty for abortionists. I'm not one to pick nits, but Sen. Coburn ran for office and is trying to change the law without making any violent actions. William Ayers tried to kill innocent people to make a political point.

Sen. Obama made an entirely inappropriate analogy and I would suggest that Sen. Coburn demand an apology. Even if Sen. Coburn doesn't, reporters should ask whether Sen. Obama understands the difference between pro-life politicians and people who set bombs to kill innocent people.
