Strieff nicely handled the absurd charges of racism against John McCain for the celebrity ad. Hopefully the blowhard press can let that one lie. But Barack Obama’s slip last night on Hillary Clinton is telling and fits a pattern of mysogyny in his campaign. Visa CBS: “At a time when we’ve got bigger challenges than any time in our history and you’re running ads with | Read More »
I have written a bunch about the problems that our soldiers have voting. Currently, as it stands, House Democrats, urged on by the unions, are blocking a bill that would increase the likelihood of the votes of our soldiers actually counting. Last week Bob Novak also wrote about this issue. Today there was a significant advance. The National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), the | Read More »
Warner Todd Huston just wrote about ACORN embezzling issues. Thankfully, we just gave a criminal organization another chunk of change in the Housing Bill. Allegedly, it was to push more people into subprime loans, which they have been doing for the last decade or so. Of course, that was a bad idea. Another big project of theirs is voter registration. Like so many voter-reg groups, | Read More »
Compare these two. Speaking to a group of African-American journalists, he says: What I would ask is that I am treated like other candidates in terms of expectations and that people look at my entire record. But his staff is “terrified” of people looking into his history: Reporters who have covered Obama’s biography or his problems with certain voter blocs have been challenged the most | Read More »
A bad day for Don Young is a good day for America. Thank you to Grover Norquist for helping to deliver a bad day to Young by declaring him a Tax Pledge Violator Don Young (R-Alaska) violated the solemn oath he took to his constituents by voting for H.R. 2642, the Blue Dog Tax Hike. [...] “Republicans that vote for tax increases are like rat | Read More »
Last night the Scottish National Party won a by-election (like our special elections) in Glasgow East. A friend who is a Tory operative sent me a facebook message in shock last night: the SNP are about to win a ‘special election’ in labour’s 4th safest seat in parliament! like the GOP gaining pelosi’s seat in San Francisco! The hating all-things-leftist Telegraph put it this way: | Read More »
Earlier this week, I sat down with Lou Barletta, the mayor of Hazelton, PA — just named PA’s Mayor of the Year — and the GOP nominee for Congress in PA-11 against Paul Kanjorski, an old-school, corrupt, machine Democrat. I know a little bit about the region, as my mom spends a bunch of time with her cousin who lives just outside of the district. | Read More »
Today, Senator Robert “Sheets” Byrd (D-KKK/WV) cancelled a markup in the Senate Appropriations Committee. Why? He even told us. To avoid a vote on energy: “Given the uncertainty in how the oil and gas drilling issue is currently playing out on the Senate floor, I have decided to postpone the July 24th appropriations markups at this time,” Byrd said in a statement. Earlier, Boehner noted | Read More »
How did this not get more attention? With reporting deadlines looming, congressional officers have issued revised guidelines that ease some of the lobbying disclosure requirements enacted last year. The revised guidance, issued by the Clerk of the House and Secretary of the Senate, relaxed the rules for disclosure of lobbyist contributions to parties at this summer’s Democratic and Republican national conventions, among other changes. So, | Read More »
Last week, Talking Points Memo caught the DSCC at-best skirting campaign finance laws in Oregon. Even TPM doesn’t buy DSCC spin. This week, they are at it again, but it is Mississippi. This ad is running (sorry for the poor quality. This guy videotaped his television) As you can see, the ad ends with a DSCC bug, but has the "likeness" of Ronnie Musgrove. Roger | Read More »
Marty Ozinga is a businessman who grew his family concrete business into the largest concrete company in the country. But from this ad, he looks like a regular guy. The Crypt has the details about the race: Fresh off a quarter where he raised over $800,000 from individual donors, concrete magnate Martin Ozinga III is up with the first ad in the race in the | Read More »
