Krauthammer & Thompson
Charles Krauthammer like me isn’t the happiest of conservatives in this race but like me he understands what’s at stake. I’m no fan of John McCain but given the choice between him and Barack Obama it’s a no brainer… Barack Obama is not your fathers democrat he is a socialist. Krauthammer writes: Contrarian that I […]
Pollster: Media Polls Biased Against Republicans
I don’t put a lot faith in polls and this is why: Political polls conducted for most media organizations often are biased against Republicans, says Kellyanne Conway, one of the most respected GOP pollsters. As a result, Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain probably is exaggerated and is contributing unfairly to his momentum, says Conway, […]

Jack Murtha: My Constituents Aren’t Racist They’re Rednecks
Apparently Congressman Murtha doesn’t no when to shut up… Just days after classifying western Pennsylvania as racist, Murtha took a step back from those comments, albeit a small one. “What I said, that indicted everybody, that’s not what I meant at all. What I mean is there’s still folks that have a problem voting for […]
Palin Now More Accessible than Obama?
The conventional wisdom is that Sarah Palin doesn’t make herself available to the national news media, but as this CBS News story shows that simply isn’t true. It was less than two weeks ago when Sarah Palin astonished her traveling press corps by lifting the curtain (literally) and journeying to the back of her campaign […]
Weekend Recap

The first is Brian Carney’s weekend interview with Anna Schwartz, Ms. Schwartz is well known economist and her views on the current economic crisis are […]

I thought liberals were supposed to be the tolerant ones??? VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35, Orlando) — She’s only 12 years old but Ashleigh Jones is feeling the heat of this election year.

Poll Question: Who Won The Final Presidential Debate?
[poll id=”9″] Overall I thought this was John McCain’s best debate. Unfortunately, I don’t think it was a game changer. In fact I think the plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher, was the only real winner. A couple of quick points: 1) The Secret Service says they have yet to find anyone who can backup that Scranton ‘Kill […]
Jack Murtha: My Constituents Are Racist

Election Burnout
I’m suffering from Election Burnout… I can honestly say I’m not interested in hearing another word from the candidates nor I’m not interested in writing another word about the election. This campaign has been going on in one form or another for nearly two years now… My mind is made up all I want to […]

95% Illusion
The Wall Street Journal has a great analysis of Barack Obama’s “tax cut” proposals today. The Journal’s analysis should come as a surprise to anyone… In short Obama “tax cuts” are 95% illusion. One of Barack Obama’s most potent campaign claims is that he’ll cut taxes for no less than 95% of “working families.” He’s […]
