In a political year that should ensure a Democratic Party landslide in the fall, Democrats seem poised to shoot themselves in the foot. Case in point is Reps. James Oberstar and Peter DeFazio's plan for a gas tax hike. Oberstar, D-Minn., said his committee is working on the next long-term highway bill. He estimated it […]
Americans for Prosperity had an inconvenient camera outside of Al Gore's big speech yesterday, and you shouldn't be at all surprised that there were plenty of people who don't practice what Gore preaches. Umm...no, a taxi isn't "public transportation."
Sen. Barack Obama has done it again. As noted yesterday, in an op-ed in the New York Times, Obama changed his explanation on his opposition to the surge. For the past year and a half, Obama has claimed that the surge wouldn't work, would actually increase violence and would get more Americans killed. Now that […]
Sen. Barack Obama took to the pages of the New York Times today to outline his plan to "end" the war in Iraq. Of course, there's no "ending" of war -- you either win or you lose. But what's most interesting to me is Obama's attempt to rewrite history -- and will anyone in the […]
Lacking experience, Sen. Barack Obama is running on his judgment. This week we found out, his record on that isn't so good. Days after Barack Obama granted the first television interview with his entire family, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said he regrets thrusting his two young daughters in the media spotlight.

Gas prices are still painfully high, and the Congress continues to be, in the words of Wm. Shakespeare, "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

When he was running for president, Bill Clinton's position on abortion was that he wanted to make sure that it was "safe, legal and rare." Two out of three isn't bad. Sen. Barack Obama last week tried his hand at pivoting toward the center on abortion when he came out and said that the "mental […]
Lookie here! I'm not going to talk about Sen. Barack Obama's stands on the issues. I'm not going to talk about Obama's experience -- there isn't much. Instead, I'm going to ask you to think about Obama's judgment. Don't expect anyone in the media to ask him tough questions -- they're a distraction.
Democrats have continued to reach out to the religious community -- all religions. Yep, those are Satanists, one of whom is a Democratic Party official. UPDATE! A day later police have arrested another person as an accessory after the fact in the case -- this time the third vice-chair of the Durham County Democratic Party. […]
Barack Obama gave a speech today. He said: I remember, when living for four years in Indonesia as a child, listening to my mother reading me the first lines of the Declaration of Independence – "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator […]
