The Sarah Palin Show

October 4, 2008

I heard yesterday that the Nielsen ratings for the Palin-Biden VP debate were 40% higher than for the first McCain-Obama presidential debate. A transcript of the debate can be found here. And the audience wasn't tuning in to see Joe Biden. The VP debate was all about Sarah Palin. Democrats were eagerly tuning in to [...]

Some Political Parties Are More Equal Than Others

August 30, 2008

There is one important way in which the Democratic and Republican parties work together in bipartisan harmony. They collaborate to rig the election system to keep third party and independent candidates off the ballots and out of the public debates. They also use their vast financial resources and connections to litigate fledgling political movements into [...]

How Obama The Uniter Got Started In Politics

June 19, 2008

Barack Obama claims to be a new kind of politician. He's a uniter, not a divider (hmmm, that sounds familiar). Obama is all about HOPE, and above all, CHANGE. We know all this because Obama tells us so, repeatedly. It's a little bit ironic then that Obama won his first Democratic primary in 1996 by [...]

We're Having A Party

June 2, 2008

It was a wacky weekend for the party of D, that allegedly stands for Democratic. Many votes were cast that won't count, and many other votes were counted that were not cast. We all should have seen this coming the moment they made Howard Dean the head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). To everybody [...]

Tuesday Political Stuff

April 29, 2008

I'm sick of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright being all over the news. The racist old fool has already gotten far more air time than he deserves, so I'm not going to bother getting into Wright's latest rounds of silliness and nonsense with Bill "Neville" Moyers and the National Press Club. Hatemongers shouldn't get this much [...]

Hillary Should Be The Frontrunner Now

April 23, 2008

I feel like the world has turned upside down, because I find myself rooting for Hillary Clinton to capture the Democratic nomination, even though I'm certain she will be a more difficult candidate for John McCain to beat in november. Then again, I'm not that thrilled with McCain either. If you had told me a [...]

The Case For Hillary

April 7, 2008

Hey ! Da King had that same haircut and beard in 1973 ! (as Bill, not Hillary). Ah, the sixties and seventies, who can remember forget 'em. — The endless media prattle about whether Hillary Clinton should drop out of the presidential race has become a steady irritant to me (the media spends so much [...]

The Next Commander In Chief

March 29, 2008

As the Clinton/Obama mud-slinging festival continues, voters must be confused. Should they reject Hillary for making things up out of thin air, or should they reject Obama for hanging with his racist pastor for 20 years ? Decisions, decisions. The voters COULD look at the issues, but good luck finding any differences between the two [...]

The Queen Prefers A Coup

March 26, 2008

Advocates of an american troop pullout from Iraq say the establishment of a democratic government cannot be accomplished in that country. Hillary Clinton is one such advocate. Her cynical view of Iraq makes more sense today, since it turns out Hillary doesn't much favor democracy in america either. After all the caucuses and primaries that [...]

Obama's Fave Five

March 5, 2008

Oops. The messiah stumbled yesterday. Barack Obama's aura of inevitability took a hit, as he was defeated by Hillary Clinton in Ohio, Texas, and Rhode Island. Obama did win in Vermont (and two Vermont towns noted for their liberal politics voted to arrest Bush and Cheney. Coincidence ? It's doubtful). Could it be that voters [...]

An Opportunity Missed

February 8, 2008

John McCain is not the Conservative choice for president, but he will be the Republican nominee. Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney split the conservative vote, thus allowing McCain to move to the front by capturing the moderate and independent votes. As Mitt Romney noted during his CPAC speech yesterday, where he suspended his presidential campaign, [...]
