From Sen. Barack Obama's announcement for president, Feb. 10, 2007: Most of all, let's be the generation that never forgets what happened on that September day and confront the terrorists with everything we've got. Politics doesn't have to divide us on this anymore - we can work together to keep our country safe. I've worked […]
Sen. John McCain has released a commercial that's reportedly airing only in New Mexico. Of course, it's on the Web too. The ad is largely biographical. It's positive. It doesn't reference the Democrats nor is there anything in it directed at the Democratic Party. That didn't stop Howard "Foot-in-mouth" Dean from deciding to open his […]
One of the most prominent cultural shifts that has occurred in the past 50 years has been the increase in job mobility and the decrease in company-sponsored retirement programs. More people today move from job to job every few years. The era of getting a manufacturing job straight out of high school, working at it […]
I often criticize The New York Times editorial page for being partisan, not principled. But MSNBC anchorman Keith Olbermann is giving them a run for their money. As you can see from this video courtesy of OlbermannWatch.com, Olbermann is not merely a partisan Democrat, but he's even made his decision on which Democrat he is […]
Barack Obama had the following to say last month at a Wisconsin Democratic Party Founders Day gala: Obama would criticize McCain in a far less attractive manner, saying, "I am looking forward to a debate with John McCain.

It should come as little surprise when you consider how completely Saddam Hussein was able to corrupt the United Nations and its oil-for-palaces program that he was also able to corrupt three liberal Democrats. Saddam Hussein's intelligence agency footed the bill for a U.S. congressional delegation's trip during a buildup to the Iraq war, according […]
Exhibit A for the proposition that Sen. Barack Obama can speak and the mere rhythm and pitch of his voice can cause normally intelligent people's brains to fall out was the mainstream media reaction to his "race speech" last week. Obama spoke eloquently on the issue of race and used his skills as a Jedi […]
James Carville should be ashamed of himself. The reaction of some of Mr. Clinton’s allies suggests that might have been a wise decision. “An act of betrayal,” said James Carville, an adviser to Mrs. Clinton and a friend of Mr. Clinton. “Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold […]
There's been quite a bit of hubbub the past couple of days after it was revealed that some State Department contract employees had accessed Sen. Barack Obama's passport file. After the junior senator from Illinois expressed appropriate outrage that he was the target of dirty tricks, it was further revealed that contract employees had also […]
I must confess that while I'd read about Obamamania I hadn't quite grasped its depth and the hold that it has over Obamamaniacs until I read the comments on my "Obama's big speech" post. Obama is brave to give this speech. Obama's talking about unity and I should only judge him by his words and […]
