The Bailout Blame Game

On September 30, 2008 By

So the Wall Street bailout vote failed in the House of Representatives, with nearly two thirds of House Republicans voting against the bailout, despite many of those same House Republicans voicing public support for the proposed bailout deal. Interestingly, after the vote had failed, Republican House leaders were quick to blame Democrats – specifically [...]

You won’t lose your vote

On September 30, 2008 By

Got this in my emailbox today and thought it was worth sharing:

Dear Democrat:

It has been brought to our attention that there is an email out there spreading false information about voters wearing campaign paraphernalia not being allowed to vote.

But I thought she was a reformer…

On September 28, 2008 By

My Post-Debate “Analysis”

On September 26, 2008 By

Here’s my assessment of the debate between Sen. Barack Obama and Sen. John McCain:

John McCain came across as an angry, patronizing, old man who seemed to relish and denigrating a insulting a younger, more respectful man. In a debate that was supposed to play to Sen. McCain’s strengths, I see this debate as essentially [...]

McCain’s Had a Bad Week

On September 26, 2008 By

It’s been a bad week for Sen. John McCain. First he was raked over the coals by George Will, who’s anything but a liberal, then he was absolutely demolished by David Letterman while simultaneously being exposed yet again as a liar and a political opportunist.

I’m now convinced Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is the 2008 incarnation of Dan “Potatoe” Quayle, and it’s become more apparent with each passing day why the McCain campaign has been trying hard to limit Gov. Palin’s media exposure:

Here’s a little video of Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold introducing Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama on Monday in Green Bay:

I though Sen. Feingold did a great job of highlighting the work Obama’s done as a member of the Senate when it comes to reform, and I think he did an excellent job of [...]
