One of our new commenters, Truth Teller, had a gem in the Hillary-pandering post a few days ago. I noticed that Obama knocked her plan but failed to tell us what his plan. Another great speech but no solutions I love how Truthy wants us to believe that Hillary is all making a proposal that […]

Absurd!

Filed in National by on May 3, 2008 6 Comments

What’s absurd is Clinton’s spin and the way the MSM regurgitates her double standard all over the airways.

It’s a fair point, but possibly […]

“‘Bush’s approval rating, which stands at 28 percent in our new poll, remains better than the all-time lows set by Harry Truman and Richard Nixon [22 percent and 24 percent, respectively], but even those two presidents never got a disapproval rating in the 70s,’ Holland said. ‘The previous all-time record in CNN or Gallup polling […]
