For 20 years, Barack Obama was more than happy to listen to the hateful, racist screeds of Rev. Wright. But unfortunately, since his church is making his poll numbers drop, Obama has dropkicked Jesus through the goalposts of life and resigned from the Church of the Holy Bigots. But hey Jesus, it’s nothing personal, it’s [...]
From the Galesburg Register-Mail. Spokeswoman Connie Wessels, on behalf of the American Heart Association, “lobbied with others toward instituting the FIT Kids Act. Wessels also met with the staff Rep. Phil Hare, (D-Cheeseburger). The congressman serves on the committee that will consider some of these important pieces of Legislation.” I’m not one to criticize, but [...]
I’d like to say I’m shocked, but I’m not really. Even though both Barack Obama and John McCain pledged to run “different” campaigns, we are confronted with the fact that both campaigns are running “old” politics campaigns. McCain marks the days since Obama has been to Iraq; Obama says McCain won’t admit mistakes just like [...]
As everyone knows by now, there was another moonbat eruption at Obama’s church. This time from a white Catholic priest who mocked Hillary Clinton for her emotions and for being a white elitist, among other things. As the video shows, the good Father Pfleger’s routine would have not been out of place in a comedy [...]
From a New York Times editorial: There are several kinds of Washington memoirs: “I Reveal the Honest Truth,” a kiss-up-and-tell designed to settle scores (nod to honesty optional). “I Was There at the Start,” designed to make the author appear to be the linchpin of history. And, most tedious: “I Knew It Was a Terrible [...]
Some controversy is brewing about our specially selected congressman’s taxpayer funded earmarks—–this time in Monmouth. In an op-ed by Marvin Hawk, a member of the Warren County Board of Trustees,he expresses anger that a $410,000 earmark for renovation of a county building was apparently done in secret and without the knowledge of many of the [...]
In the comments of this post some commenters and I were speculating about why the CEO and VP of the ILQC Chamber of Commerce had hosted a fundraiser for Phil Hare, three weeks prior, especially in light of the fact that Hare has no serious opponent in ’08. Something I saw today in the QCTimes [...]
David Brooks has been thinking about running mate choices for Obama and McCain. Here’s how he sees Obama’s situation: “[Obama] will find himself surrounded by highly partisan Democratic politicians, committee chairmen and interest groups thrilled to finally seize power…These entrenched Democrats are more experienced than Obama. They know how to play the game better. The [...]
It’s always freaky when I find myself in agreement with left-wing liberal, but Paul Lukasiak has some ideas about why The Chosen One hasn’t pulled ahead of both Hillary and McCain. Here’s Lukasiak: Ever since the media declared that Barack Obama was “inevitable” after February 19th…rank and file Democratic voters have been sending a message. [...]
From James Joyner: It’s not inconceivable that the November elections return the White House to Democratic hands, increase the party’s House majority, and even provides a filibuster-proof margin in the Senate. But it’s a lead pipe cinch that they’ll screw it up, become the corrupt, power-at-all-costs goons that they now accuse their opponents of being, [...]
