Dirty Lying Liberal Media
Every good smear deserves a plea to stop the smearer and the dirty apes who support them… One does have to wonder why the New Yawk Times would first endorse a candidate, and then publish what I would assume was … Continue reading

McCain Abstained
Are you one of those who says there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Republican and Democrat candidates? If so – well, viva la difference. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton helped secure more than $340 million worth of … Continue reading

Whatever It Takes
Talk about trying to speak to both sides of the fence. He’s talking in all the right code words though, and that should have people worried. “Whatever it takes” “Commonsense regulation” The one thing I agree with him 100% on … Continue reading

Sex Change Anyone?
After reading this, boy; do I want to disown being a woman or what? (Warning; do have an air sickness bag nearby prior to clicking on the link!) Looking at the choices, we began, by rote, to reach up toward … Continue reading

Pence Gives Qualified Endorsement of McCain
There was never going to be a perfect candidate. We support them when the issue drives us to support them, and oppose them (respectfully) when we differ on the issues. It is that way with President Bush, and I don’t … Continue reading
Romney Stepping Aside
Romney is going to quit the race. Or “suspending” his campaigning, whatever that means. Looking at the results so far, this would give McCain the nomination, and leave him to go on the offensive against either of the potential Democratic … Continue reading
Time For A Cool Change
Although I’m leery anytime Congress says it’s going to “fix” something, something really does need to be changed in the primary system. That the race is all but decided by the time some states primaries, makes those voters with later … Continue reading

A Candidate Without A War
Is the Iraq War hurting John McCain’s candidacy? By “hurting” I’m referring to his struggle to be the true conservative candidate who unites the party. Despite his clear lead in the primary race, McCain has not been able to capture … Continue reading
Daniel Drezner picked….
McCain. He tells us why.
Heh
McQ: The one and only reason to be for John McCain: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said the possibility of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) becoming president “sends a cold chill down my spine.” I’d love to see Harry chattering … Continue reading

Extra Baggage
United has announced that it will charge some flyers if they wish to check a second bag. $25 is the expected tab if you don’t travel light. I wonder; what will the charge be for Hillary’s extra baggage? Questions … Continue reading

The Competition
(Cross posted at Whatif?) As a bridge player, I am well aware of competition. Sometimes you pitch a blowout. More often than not, though, winning is a matter of inches. It’s a matter of dogged determination. It’s a function … Continue reading

The Left and John McCain
In a post at QandO, Billy Hollis explains why John McCain will not be getting his vote. Essentially, McCain-Feingold and Johnny’s continued contempt for the Bill of Rights leaves Billy cold: This [McCain-Feingold] is THE main reason I cannot vote … Continue reading
Once Again – Blame Bush
(Cross Posted at Whatif?) This time, however, blame GWB for something few of us consider. Rarely in recent American history had a political leader received such a visible testing ground for the character of his leadership. Giuliani projected … Continue reading

French Haircuts and the Presidency

His Own Petard?
(Cross Posted at Whatif?) When John McCain and George W. Bush were vying for their party’s nomination, I was a McCain fan. How could a person not be impressed by the man who refused to leave Vietnam’s prison camp to … Continue reading
A Window
What candidates believe about the economy, the military, social values, health care, energy policy, education – and on and on and on and on – is of course critical. Nevertheless, something else is integral to selecting a candidate to represent … Continue reading

You Get What You Pay For
(Cross posted at What if?) Did Rudy lose because the purportedly “ruthless” candidate was too nice? Most critical in the closing days of the contest, when he desperately needed to reinsert himself into the narrative, was Giuliani’s inexplicable refusal … Continue reading

Republican VP Candidates
Despite Keith’s wise admonition, many Republican leaning (or formerly R-leaning) voters have resigned themselves to the fact that Sen. John McCain will be the Republican nominee for Election 2008. That does not sit well with more than a few. Personally, … Continue reading
Still Anyone’s Game
McCain may be the front runner, but it is still anyone’s game going into next Tuesday. And the race can be just as muddled after next Tuesday, if there’s not a clear front runner. And yes, it’s my contention that … Continue reading

At least the last sentence, my emphasis: First he has no chance whatever of being elected President of the United States of America. He is a rich kid, yes so is George Bush as well – but George Bush gives … Continue reading
Attempting prescience, 2008
Can Mitt win against Obama? The thing is… just about any of them could maybe win against Hillary. Or lose against Hillary. But winning against Obama is more problematic. People *like* Obama. And is Mitt really that much better than … Continue reading

Don’t Panic!!!
Just to put Iowa in a bit of perspective… http://vodkapundit.com/archives/009373.php What happened on the Republican side last night is not terribly different from what happened in 1988, when Pat Robertson finished a strong second behind nearly-neighboring-stater Bob Dole (Bush 39 … Continue reading

Fred Thompson Picks Up Another Endorsement
