My Non-Derangement Pact if Obama Wins the Election.

I’ve been thinking back over the Clinton and Bush years, and both political parties have taken their turn being insane. Don’t get me wrong, Clinton and his people did some messed up stuff. That whole Waco “we had to burn the cultists in order to save the cultists” thing springs to mind. […]

Dean calls McCain weak, ‘wishy-washy,’ cowers behind Secret Service.

Before he uttered these words, do you wanna bet Howie Dean looked around to make sure McCain wasn’t close enough to snatch him? There are a lot of things you can call a guy who survived six years in the Hanoi Hilton, but I’m not sure “weak” makes the list. 189 years old or not, […]

Dems Plan $40 Million Hatchet Job on McCain

Politico is reporting that “independent” Democratic groups are putting together a $40 million attack campaign against McCain.  To give some indication of how low this hit job plans to aim, they’ve put the execrable David Brock in charge of the project.  This is a man who lied when he was a “conservative” and now lies for his new […]

Obama and McCain — Think there’s no difference?

I promise to stop beating this drum (or horse) soon, but it really is a point that needs to be made.  Conservatives who are sitting out this election on principle are making a mistake.  Ann Coulter is an attention-seeking fruitcake, and her notion that McCain is the liberal candidate in this election is insane.  As […]

What would make you a “suicide voter”?

This election has more people talking about crossing over to the other party or else sitting out the election entirely than any I’ve seen.  On the Democratic side, 20%+ of both Hillary and Obama supporters say they’ll switch if their liberal loses.
You have a lot of less-than-gruntled people on the Republican side as well.  For […]

Wishful Thinking from MyDD and Open Left

With Obama sinking in the polls vis-a-vis John McCain, the Netroots, such as MyDD and Open Left, are trying to reassure themselves. The latest echo in the Leftist chamber is a notion that being a “war hero” doesn’t help you win an election. MyDD makes a statistical argument that military experience won’t help McCain this […]

PA Democrats and the Apocalypse

The formative experience of my grandfather’s life was the Great Depression. His parents had practically the only barn in Lancaster County with electricity (their Amish neighbors being somewhat slow to embrace change,) and jobless wanderers would sleep at night in the “Electric Globe Barn.” To this day, my grandfather has the same visceral loyalty to […]
