The Huffington Post is reporting that Sarah Palin has made her first gaffe: Gov. Sarah Palin made her first potentially major gaffe during her time on the national scene while discussing the developments of the perilous housing market this past weekend. Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending […]

ABC’s Charles Gibson Lands First Palin Interview…
The Associated Press is reporting that Sarah Palin will sit down with ABC’s Charles Gibson for a one on one interview later this week. Palin will sit down for multiple interviews over two days in Alaska, probably on Thursday and Friday. Hopefully this will put and end to the media’s complaints that she hasn’t talked […]
A Message For Barack Obama…
A powerful message… Watch the whole thing.
Smears, Lies and Politics…
It’s getting so you can’t keep track of all the smears, lies and half-truths about Sarah Palin without a scorecard… Michelle Malkin has the latest here and here. I don’t even know what to say at this point… I don’t have a problem with hardball politics, we all know how the game is played and […]
The Morning After The Morning After…
I’m pressed for time again so this is going to be short and ugly… Overall I think John McCain delivered a great speech last night. Unfortunately the under card left a lot to be desired… I knew it would be hard to top or even match Wednesday night’s lineup but jeez, I just about fell […]
Revisiting Zell Miller
Hat Tip: Grim @ Blackfive. Zell Miller much like Joe Lieberman places his love of country ahead of party politics. His speech at the Republican Convention in 2004 was one of the greatest political speeches I’ve ever heard. We are faced with no less an important choice this election so it’s worth remembering what he […]
The Morning After…
I’m pressed for time this morning so I’ll keep this short… If you’re like me you watched Sarah Palin’s speech last night with a critical eye. Personally, I thought she knocked it out of the park. She showed why grassroots conservatives love her and why smart liberals are worried or even scared… The dumb ones […]
Was She or Wasn’t She???
All morning long I’ve been hearing and reading media reports quoting an “unnamed republican source” as saying that “the team assigned to vet … [Sarah] Palin in Alaska” didn’t get there until the day before John McCain “stunned the political world with his vice-presidential choice.” I’d like to know exactly who this source is and […]
Debunking Two Myths About Sarah Palin…
Lets start with the experience thing. Personally, I’m not particularly swayed by the experience argument, it seems to me part of the reason we’re in the mess we’re in is because of experienced career politicians who are wedded to the old way of doing things. Frankly I’d rather take my chances with a “rookie” than […]
Foreign Policy Experience – Does It Matter?
One of the things that’s been bothering me about this presidential campaign is the constant droning of so and so doesn’t have any foreign policy experience. Where is it written that a presidential candidate has to have “foreign policy experience”? How much foreign policy experience did Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton or George W. Bush have […]
It’s Palin… Hot Damn!
I’ve have to admit I’m stoked! Yes I still have reservations about John McCain, I don’t like him, I don’t trust him but Sarah Palin is the real deal. She’s a solid conservative; she’s intelligent, articulate and charismatic. She has a proven record as a reformer; she’s battled corruption and pork barrel spending and she […]
McCain VP Watch… Who’s It Going To Be?
My top picks in no particular order: Fred Thompson Michael Steele Sarah Palin Carly Fiorina Michelle Malkin has more… Update: Foxnews says it’s Palin. Whew… I’m not sure what to say. Personally, I would have preferred Michael Steele or Fred Thompson… That said Palin’s a great choice, grass roots conservatives are energized/excited by it, inside […]
What are your impressions of the DNCC so far?
What are your impressions of the Democratic National Committee Convention so far? Mine can be summed up in one word… YAWN. It’s 2004 all over again… There are no ideas, no positive agenda and no vision for the future. So far their entire agenda can be summed up as we’re miserable, Bush sucks and John […]
Russian Aggression
If you haven’t read the Op-Ed by by Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman in today’s Wall Street Journal you should. I don’t agree with Graham or Lieberman often but they’re spot-on here. Russia’s Aggression Is a Challenge to World Order By Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman, Wall Street Journal, August 26, 2008; Page A21 In the wake […]
Let The Games Begin…
The Democratic National Convention kicked of in Denver last night… All I can think to say is so what? In all honesty I’m more interested in what’s happening in Georgia than I am with what’s happening in Denver. If last night was any indication this convention is going to be about the cult of personality […]
