If Republicans are really against socialism…

Filed in National by on October 22, 2008 16 Comments

Then why aren’t they campaigning on the promise of abolishing Medicare?  And while they’re at it, perhaps Republican Congressmen should opt out of their government healthcare plan as well. Just saying.

The Amazingly Disconnected McCain Campaign

Filed in National by on October 22, 2008 10 Comments

Who in their right mind approved Sarah Palin’s 150k shopping spree?  Who vetted Joe the Plumber before shoving him into the spotlight?  Who decided that lying to Letterman was okay? The McCain Campaign is a train wreck.  Or, in Jason’s words:  Worst. Campaign. Ever. Palin’s shopping orgy is just one more stupid mistake.  Since naming […]

This new PEW Poll tells quite a story. Palin’s negatives soar while McCain’s judgement is questioned.  Judgement?  Is that akin to character? Let’s look at the numbers. Obama’s Lead Widens: 52%-38% Savor that for a minute.  Okay, let’s move on to the economy.

The Day McCain Lost the Election

Filed in National by on October 16, 2008 8 Comments

McCain has made many mistakes this campaign season, but there’s one 24 hour period that stands out in my mind.  Funnily enough it all begins with David Letterman.  Had it not been for Letterman showing the shot of McCain not flying back to Washington immediately the tactic of “suspending” his campaign might have worked.  This stunt […]

Filed in National by on October 13, 2008 24 Comments

If you haven’t read Steve’s post over at Delaware Libertarian you should. And even though it’s obvious he doesn’t have a horse in this race he makes some valid points. Now allow me to add a few of my own. Has this election season become overly divisive? Yes. I won’t argue with that point, instead […]

Could McCain’s Campaign be any worse?

Filed in National by on October 11, 2008 10 Comments

I can’t believe I was actually nervous when Republicans picked John McCain as their nominee.  Deserved, or not, McCain’s maverick reputation was carved in stone, and he was well liked by Independents and moderate Democrats.  Admittedly, this drove me crazy.  Hell, there were some people who actually believed he was “pro-choice”.  Nuts. Now that reputation […]

Somebody is going to get hurt…

… Unless Republicans step up to the plate and put a stop to John McCain and Sarah Palin’s attempts to fire up the crowd. Normally, this responsibility would fall to John McCain, but as this seems to be his entire campaign strategy I’m not counting on him doing the right thing. And you know what? […]

McCain needs to man up or shut up

Filed in National by on October 9, 2008 35 Comments

Sometimes someone says exactly what you want to say… only better. John Cole nails it. John McCain is not man enough to own his shit. John McCain will not openly confront Obama with his smears and lies and innuendo. John McCain will not come out and talk about Ayers, he has to be asked. That […]
