Dem-Cong In Trouble

September 12th, 2008 at 12:44 pm » Comments (0)

All year we’ve been hearing that this is a Democrat year. Why? Because the news media which is in the bag for the Dems say so? That’s the perception that I’m living under.
Each election cycle, we hear the same ‘ol BS that the Dems are going to take control. The people are fed up with [...]



Obama’s Outrage Shows His Unpreparedness

September 10th, 2008 at 1:43 pm » Comments (3)

It seems that the man with the middle name Hussein is a bit miffed at the usually accommodating press for accentuating his comment from yesterday - “you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig” - which any reasonable person would assume is a jab at GOP VP Nominee Sarah Palin. He [...]

Boehner Welcomes Back Do-Nothing Dems

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R OH-8) welcomed House Democrats back from their vacation today…
via email:
WASHINGTON, D.C. – As House Democrats continue to take a nationwide public pounding for blocking a vote on “all of the above” energy reforms the American people want, Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) delivered remarks on the House floor welcoming [...]



Obama: ‘You Can’t Just Reinvent Yourself’

September 8th, 2008 at 4:34 pm » Comments (1)

Barack Hussein Obama has opened up a can of worms that I think might have been in his best interest to have left unopened.
He said,
Well, how about Gov. Palin? She’s you know, an up and comer from Alaska. She - they’re starting to run an ad now saying she opposed the bridge to nowhere. Well [...]



Freud Would Have A Field Day!

Barack Hussein Obama has been caught in a Freudian moment.
“Let’s not play games,” he said. “What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith. And you’re absolutely right that that has not come.” SOURCE

Zogby International: McCain/Palin Up By 4 - Obama Should Be Worried

September 7th, 2008 at 6:35 am » Comments (1)

In a year which is supposed to be dominated by Democrats, the Republican ticket is leading the race in September? How ironic.
If it were not for Sarah Palin being added to the ticket, I doubt that John McCain would be garnering these kinds of numbers this early. Helping matters is the left-wing blogosphere combined with [...]



Change Is the ‘08 Buzz-Word

September 5th, 2008 at 12:19 pm » Comments (1)

Barack Hussein Obama has been decrying the mantra of ‘Change’ for the past 19 months (and beyond) but for some reason has never found the time to define it. John McCain in 7 days not only found time to decry ‘Change’ but found time to define it.
By picking Sarah Palin as his running mate, John [...]

Then there are the attacks…

Theme of the Night - McCain’s Qualifications vs Obama’s Rhetoric

September 3rd, 2008 at 11:49 am » Comments (1)

The argument of substance over words was pushed home last night by a very well delivered speech as to who John McCain is. Fred Thompson educated those who may not have known the extent of John’s character by detailing the ordeals of John’s life which shaped that character. Joe Lieberman explained the appeal of the [...]



Fred on John

H/T: Stop the ACLU
I can say that I knew of John McCain’s sacrifice in Vietnam. But I didn’t know the details that Fred Thompson went into about how poorly John was treated. I’m glad that Fred was the man to educate the Party on John’s true sacrifice. As Fred detailed John’s Vietnam experience, there wasn’t [...]



Anti-War Protesters Turn Violent In St. Paul

September 2nd, 2008 at 12:26 am » Comments (2)

I find it incredibly ironic that as the Republican National Convention in St. Paul Minnesota had its opening day festivities curtailed due to hurricane Gustav, the radical left found it necessary to hold their extra-curricular activities without regard to those in Gustav’s path. As First Lady Laura Bush and Cindy McCain were making appeals for [...]



Leftist and Media Attacks on Bristol Palin [UPDATED]

September 1st, 2008 at 2:00 pm » Comments (4)

Since last Friday, there have been rumors circulating around the leftard blogosphere, and in particular at the Daily POS (which is living up to its name), about Sarah Palin and her youngest child Trig. The Kossack rumor mill has been attacking the Alaskan Governor’s daughter in their questioning of the validity of the birth of [...]

What Does the Palin Pick Say About McCain’s Judgement?

August 29th, 2008 at 6:28 pm » Comments (1)

The worry is over for social and fiscal Conservatives alike. The GOP presumptive Nominee has selected a social and fiscal Conservative to join him on the ticket. But what does this say about his judgement?
To me it says that he recognizes that he cannot get elected to the highest office in the land without [...]



The GOP Ticket - Now We’re Proud

August 29th, 2008 at 12:23 pm » Comments (1)

Well he’s done it. John McCain has selected Gov. Sarah Palin his running mate and solidified my support.
Before today I was committed to voting for Sen. McCain not because I necessarily supported him, but rather I was voting AGAINST Obama. NOW, he has shown good judgement in his selection of Palin and that has EARNED [...]

Obama Deception - William Ayers

August 26th, 2008 at 5:33 pm » Comments (1)

A new ad about Barack Obama’s association with an unrepentant domestic terrorist is hitting the airwaves that that has the man with the middle name Hussein’s dander up.

So what did Obama do?
Barack Obama is striking back fiercely and swiftly to stamp out an ad that links him to a 1960s radical, eager to demonstrate a [...]
