McCain wants to change DC, Obama wants to change America! 2nd Major Update: Did Obama commit a fatal unforced error when he let slip his liberal/socialist plans for redistributing wealth? This is still a center-right country, gang. Note this Gallup poll from June: When given a choice about how government should address the numerous economic [...]

Want to know why I am proud to be a conservative independent and happy to remain outside the cult of a national party? David Brooks illustrates the fact that the rot in the Political Industrial Complex of Pols, Pundits, Media and Power Brokers cuts across party lines: David Brooks spoke frankly about the presidential and [...]

McCain wants to change DC, Obama wants to change America! Obi-wan Kenobi is a mentor of Jim Geraghty who has years of political experience on the GOP side. In 2004 Obi-wan and I were of the exact same mind (which means more about my ability to act like a stopped watch every for years and [...]

Two talking heads on NBC’s Meet The Press illustrated why Palin is the premier candidate in this race. Paul Begala tried to address Palin’s comments about Obama’s relationship to Bill Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist. Begala’s efforts to turn this around were laughable. He started by saying “guilt by association” would not work Bush-McCain, Bush-McCain, Bush-McCain). [...]

The Huffington Post has compiled some segments of Palin’s prior debating stints and it is impressive: I like this hard hitting Sarah-Cuda better than the sunny optimistic one that has been on TV interviews. I think she needs to show both tonight – sunny optimism at the end, after she has dispatched Joe.

Today’s must listen.  And why Joe Biden could be in serious trouble in tomorrow’s debate. Who is the one who will be talking tongues to America: the hockey mom or the policy wonk who can name a 100 inside the beltway statistics and acronyms?

Kathleen Parker is out whining that more people see HER as inept and buffoonish than see those traits in Sarah Palin. Parker is now the darling of the liberal elite attacking Sarah Palin, since she is one of the few conservative elite who ‘get’s it’.  As I said when Parker wrote her first hand-wringing bit [...]

McCain-Palin took on Katie Couric and put in her place. What is interesting is McCain was demonstrating to Palin how hard you can push back, which is probably the only bit of advice she really needed. I think the liberal media has set expectations so low Palin will shine through. Remember, she represents a lot [...]

Jay Cost at RCP points out a few slivers of hope in the poll numbers: First, the number of undecided voters has increased in the last three weeks, from a low of 6.3% of the electorate on 9/8 to 8.8% last night. Second, the polls themselves have been very volatile this month. The Gallup tracking [...]

I have been waiting to post on the upcoming VP debate because I wanted to make sure the liberal politicians and news media grabbed so much rope to hang themselves there was no way for the to recover from the Palin Derangement Syndrome.  And we seem to have reached a point of insane, heated rhetoric [...]

Only one comment on the SNL skit (if you must have a link go here): I am so glad I graduated from the 3rd grade!  So, ferenners work in the UN? Wow, us poor old rubes in Amerika would never have figured that out without the Einsteins in TV land. Entertainers have such simple minds, [...]

SJReidhead over at the Pink Flamingo notes why Sarah Palin came off so incoherent in those CBS News interviews with Katie Colic – Palin’s responses where edited to make her appear to stumble: “…(2:58) Couric: What, specifically, in your view, could be done to convince the new government in Pakistan to take a harder, tougher [...]

Kathleen Parker is a whining embarrasment to the GOP.  She is wringing her hands because an average American, Sarah Palin, is poised to become part of the leadership of this country. Her solution, demand Palin to step down becuase Ms Parker, Goddess of all Knowledge, is embarrased. Well Ms Parker is a joke and an [...]

OK, I am not religious and am not affiliated with any church. So I was curious to see all the hoopla over the video of Sarah being prayed for in her Church in 2005.  Needless to say I found the hoopla to be a show of ignorance. I have a lot of evangelical pastors and [...]

Major Update: Here is the actual video evidence of the ‘speed dating’ sexist remark. And it is becoming the talking point I said it would be (here and here). – end update The Situation Room (the lair of “Wolf” Blitzer – how’s that for irony) has done it again. I am fairly certain it is simply [...]
