The Nation on Hillary’s Radical Past

During the 2008 campaign we’ve met a much wartier Barack Obama than the photoshopped image he first presented to us. The real Obama turned out to be a leftwing “community activist” with close ties to anti-American racists and unrepentant 1960s terrorists. Hillary has been scoring points with that latter indiscretion.
Over at […]

Citizens Against Government Waste Ratings for McCain and Obama

Citizens Against Government Waste is Jiminy Cricket to Republican politicians’ Pinocchio. It’s that nagging voice of conscience that says, “Try and remember your principles!”
Sadly, as Republicans in Congress went on their spending binge in the early 2000s, CAGW was just about as effective as Jiminy in getting Republican pols to listen. […]

Pennsylvania Primary Blogging

Give us your Pennsylvania Primary predictions in the comments section!
Campaigning News:
Obama is spending the day campaining in the west Pennsylvania Bitterlands, hoping to shave a bit off of Hillary’s marginsin the post-voting delegate allocation. Gone is his sunny, above-the-fray demeanor; his attacks on Hillary in recent days have gotten pretty pointed, comparing her often […]

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. […]

Ann Althouse liveblogged the thing. . .
Jim Geraghty gave the debate to Hillary.

Obama Advisors Warn Bloggers: Stop Snitchin’!

Pajamas Media has some great reporting on Obama’s comments about Pennsylvania. Read this excerpt and consider what it says about the mindset of the Obama campaign:

“And from the standpoint of Obama campaign figures, the material was gotten under false pretenses. One top Obama hand speaks of the campaign and candidate being blindsided. Fowler was […]

Obama: It all depends on what your definition of “unify” is.

Remember back to a more innocent time, about three weeks ago, when Obama promised he would heal the partisan divide in Washington? He was all about the unifying. Given his recent actions, I’m tempted to quote Inigo Montoya. Obama’s definition of “unify” is pretty unique.
For example, I’m not sure that resurrecting one […]

Leave Barry Alone!

Inspired by the classic Chris Crocker video Leave Britney Alone! (warning: the original contains strong language.) It’s time someone stood up for Barack Obama — he’s suffered enough! And for those wondering, it isn’t just the lighting. . . I really am that good looking.

More on Obama and Pennsylvania Mouth-Breathers

Even if Obama were correct that Pennsylvanians “cling” to religion as a crutch because of the poor economy. . . is it somehow more noble to embrace religion as a way to win political influence and gain racial authenticity?  As for folks with “antipathy to people who aren’t like them,” I imagine he’s an authority after twenty years in Rev. […]

The Economy: We Can’t Afford Barack Obama

During the 90s, Hillary was always the Big Government devil on her husband’s shoulder. In the 2008 presidential campaign, however, she looks almost reserved compared to Barack Obama.  According to the National Taxpayer’s Union Foundation, Hillary supports $218 billion per year in new spending, while Obama’s economic plan proposes adding  307 billion dollars to the federal […]
