This is par for the course for the Politico. Mike Allen and Jonathan Martin are fixated on whether Rick Perry is too stupid to be President. Back in 2008, the same Mike Allen wondered if John McCain was going senile and making him unfit for the Presidency. This is rather typical of the Politico, which would rather be first than be right. Let me just | Read More »
By the way, it is worth going here now. I thought it had all blown over and was going to let it go. One of the things Ben Smith wrote was: A leading conservative blogger and commentator, Erick Erickson, said he shifted his stance in a key Senate race because the company that publishes his RedState.com is “socially connected” to former Virginia Senator George Allen. | Read More »
So, Wednesday – while campaigning in Illinois, although I understand that we’re supposed to pretend that Obama isn’t actually campaigning, for some bizarre reason – the President of the United States faced with a technical question (the effects of new EPA’s soil and dust regulations on Illinois farmers) by a technical expert (an Illinois farmer). Despite the fact that the technical question is in fact | Read More »
The Politico has been losing more and more good writers of late and, correspondingly, has been more and more prone to run Democrat talking points in their articles. It’s becoming more apparent why the Politico is showing its Democrat colors and becoming more Huffington Post like. Let’s review: John Harris is married to either the present or former head of NARAL in Virginia. Jonathan Allen | Read More »
Free Press is getting the heat. It’s been exposed through FOIA that the far left front group was secretly coordinating media strategy with people at the FCC, including Commissioner Michael Copps. So when Copps makes a statement about media regulation, Free Press’s pet issue, I have to assume they wrote it for him. Media Reform is their code for nationalization of the press, after all. | Read More »
Either that, or Politico hires some pretty sloppy writers. Personally, I’m voting for the latter. The background: Politico decided to write an article that attempts to answer the eternal question, For just how long will George Soros keep throwing money down the rathole which is the Activist Left*? It’s an interesting question in its own right – the article suggests that Soros is getting pretty | Read More »
It seems geography isn’t Andy Barr’s strong suit – nor is actual reporting. When covering Texas Governor Rick Perry‘s (R) “sit down with reporters on Monday,” Barr reported that “the Texas governor incorrectly identified Juarez — located across the Rio Grande, and border, from El Paso — as ‘the most dangerous city in America.’” “After an aide informed the governor of his mistake,” Barr concluded, and “Perry | Read More »
Today is a busy day for the House and Senate. The details of a final deal on the Obama tax negotiations have yet to be shared with Senators, yet Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has told Politico that “I’m hoping that in the next day or two that we can be on that.” The American people have a right to see the final details | Read More »
Today is check the box day in the Senate. Votes scheduled on one labor issue, one gay rights issue, one immigration reform issue, one 9/11 health care issue and one Social Security issue. None of the bills dealing with these issues are expected to pass, because all 42 Republican Senators are expected to vote against cloture on all legislative items until the tax issue is | Read More »
After the election, it seemed like the White House might have gotten the message. Obama said “the overwhelming message that I hear from the voters is that we…want you to work harder to arrive at consensus. We want you to focus completely on jobs and the economy…” White House officials were reported to be “deeply concerned about winning back political independents”. The FCC also seemed | Read More »
Did the FCC miss the recent election? The Obama administration appears to have at least noticed the “jobs and the economy” memo voters sent, but the FCC is about to step on the White House’s message. This week it was leaked to Politico that the FCC is considering even more regulations – this time, to oversee “data roaming” agreements that give wireless companies access to | Read More »
Sorry for missing Tech at Night on Monday, but I had to rest up for Election Day. And of course, as you may have heard, Republicans ended up having a good night. What you may not have heard though, was that the forces of radical Internet regulation had a very bad night. Democrats went for broke on Net Neutrality but as covered by Moe Lane | Read More »
Continuing Politico’s apparent strategy of linking to obscure polls that say bad things about Republicans for shock and traffic value in this wave year, the site now reports Joe Miller to be in last place. For several reasons, one has to discount this poll’s predictiveness of the coming election.
Editorial Note: I missed Hogan’s post. Bumping this down botton. His is better. Here is the latest hit job on Sarah Palin. There is just one problem with it. It doesn’t appear to be true. Take, for example, this bit: According to a source familiar with the situation, she backed out of planned interviews with conservative talk-show hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin the morning | Read More »
A new POLITICO poll reveals once again the fundamental disconnect between the ruling establishment and those that pay their salaries. 77% of D.C. elites don’t believe that tea party candidates will be able bring change to Washington. It’s a predictable opinion considering they have a vested interest in the continued growth of the federal government. To bureaucrats, lobbyists and government contractors, we represent last call | Read More »
