I have come to expect the lowest common denominator from both sides when it comes to campaign advertisements this election season. Just when I think it can’t get any worse, along comes a new low. “Obama’s ad features a narrator saying: “They want us to forget the insults we’ve put up with…the intolerance…they made us […]

The Elite in this country, particularly in the media, just don’t get it. This from CNN’s Political Ticker: “The differences between Barack Obama and John McCain couldn’t be more well-defined. Obama wants to change Washington. McCain is a part of Washington and a part of the Bush legacy. Yet the polls remain close. Doesn’t make […]

What does it say about a Presidential candidate that needs a Vice-President to be a “governing pick.” Maybe that he is not ready for the job alone? Interesting that those who are apoplectic over McCain daring to pick someone they see as not ready for the job to be “one 72 year old heartbeat away from […]

How can it be argued from those on the left that Obama’s campaign is not about race and then simultaneously argued that if he loses it will be because of racism? That somehow the only reason not to vote for Obama is because of: “a vague, sophisticated, low-key prejudice that is chameleonlike in its ability to adapt […]

Perhaps McCain wasn’t so far off in his remarks about Obama, the election and Iraq. Though Obama might not want to lose a war to win an election, he seems to certainly be willing to drag one out to facilitate his campaign. Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari stated on the record that during Obama’s recent tour of […]

Has Andrew Sullivan completely lost all sense of decency? For someone who routinely rails against stereotyping and various “isms” (racism, sexism, etc. etc.), to come out with such a patently dense comment: “She is a long-time member of the Assemblies Of God. That’s all you need to know.” is simply mind blowing. Sullivan is someone […]

Sarah Palin really gets under the skin of the liberal left. I get that. But statements such as this: “She’s got a Taliban-like tolerance for beliefs unlike her own.” are beyond the pale. There is no evidence whatsoever that Sarah Palin believes or advocates the execution of those whom she feels are apostate to certain […]

Now here is a reason to vote against Obama if there ever was one: “If Americans reject Obama, they will be sending the clearest possible message to the rest of us – and, make no mistake, we shall hear it.” Note to the rest of the world. American’s do not take well to being threatened. […]

Nope. No elitism here: “There was no way I was going to wait in line with a bunch of kids to get into Invesco Field,” said one relieved donor.”

OK Andrew. It is dirty pool for the the Republicans to mention Obama’s half brother but not for Democrats to talk about Cindy McCain’s half sister? I know you desperately want The One to ascend but have you lost all prior sense of fairness? You didn’t raise an eyebrow when they tried to paint Cindy […]

Andrew Sullivan asks the following question: “What does it say that a leading Presidential candidate can boast of support from an institution that has a deep history of racism and religious bigotry? And what does it say of a candidate to cater to a man who once denigrated his fellow Americans?” And he answers: “The […]

E.J Dionne writes: “She [Clinton] promises toughness, competence, clarity and experience in a year when Democrats are seeking something closer to salvation.” Maybe after years of wandering in the liberal desert, Democrats aren’t seeking a competent leader as much as the “chosen one.” Someone who reinforces their instilled ideas and makes them feel good about […]
