The more time passes in this presidential campaign, the clearer it becomes that Sen. Barack Obama is the shallowest, emptiest politician to come down the pike in a long time. A few months back, Sen. John McCain was being introduced at a rally by radio talk show host who said some nasty things about Obama […]
Rasmussen Reports has come out with a little statistical thought experiment: What would the Democratic presidential race look like if the Democrats used the GOP's winner-take-all primary system? The answer: Hillary would be in the lead. It would be interesting to hear Sen. Clinton's response if asked her opinion today of the Democrats proportional system […]
Friday's Wall Street Journal editorial page highlights a Kansas problem that we Californians are familiar with. Governor Kathleen Sebelius calls it "a moral obligation," as though she were opposing crimes against humanity. This is a reference to coal companies guilty of nothing more than attempting to provide power to consumers. But their misfortunes include emitting […]
Thursday's Wall Street Journal has an enlightening editorial on American economic history -- history that Democrats would do well to learn before they repeat it. To hear Mr. Schumer and his fellow-traveling columnists tell it, Hoover's great policy blunder was to do nothing, all the while insisting that everything was fine. But the problem with […]
Over at Free Liberal (via VikingPundit) they have some old video of Sen. Harry Reid attempting to explain how paying taxes in the United States is voluntary. Except that it isn't. Except that there are "loopholes" or "incentives." Except that you will go to jail if you don't pay your taxes. Except that it's voluntary. […]
If this is accurate, and I've no reason to believe it isn't, then every frivolous claim that loony left has made about the alleged corruption in the Bush administration pales in comparison to one of their preferred successors. As Hillary Clinton came under increasing scrutiny for her story about facing sniper fire in Bosnia, one […]
National Journal rated Sen. Barack Obama as the most left-wing member of the Senate. Some media have attempted to portray him as a moderate -- a moderate, as Powerline noted, with no one to his left. Well, the guys at the Politico have dug up this survey [PDF format] from Obama's run for the Illinois […]
I've got some advice for Sen. Barack Obama when it comes to questions about his longtime pastor: pretend you can't hear the question. On Friday, Obama appeared on ABC's "The View" and explained the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy this way: "Had the reverend not retired and had he not acknowledged that what he had said […]
That's the word on the street if you're dealing with Hillary Clinton's campaign. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s cash-strapped presidential campaign has been putting off paying hundreds of bills for months — freeing up cash for critical media buys but also earning the campaign a reputation as something of a deadbeat in some small-business circles. A pair […]
I've attended decades of Bible studies and Sunday sermons at a variety of churches -- mostly evangelical, but also some "mainline" protestant churches. I've even attended some Catholic masses and once went to Friday prayers at a hole-in-the-wall mosque. Yet, it wasn't until the controversy erupted over Sen. Barack Obama's pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, […]
