Question 10/07
Has John McCain destroyed the Republican Party? (Serious question, and if you have a problem with the word destroyed feel free to substitute your own.) Bonus Prediction: I predict the McCain/Palin personal attacks against Obama end up doing more damage to McCain/Palin and Republicans running down ticket.
“They are not big enough for the moment.”
Read that headline again. “They are not big enough for the moment.” Tonight on Hardball, Chris Matthews asked Peggy Noonan what she thought of McCain and Palin’s negative tactics against Obama given the real problems facing our country. Peggy Noonan’s answer… “They are not big enough for the moment.” Truer words have never been spoken.
McCain’s healthcare plan, take III – Cut Medicare/Medicaid
The New Republic has the story – or rather stories. The three faces phases of McCain’s healthcare proposal. Take I: First McCain said he would elimine the entire tax deduction for health insurance, in order to pay for his new tax credit. This would have paid for itself, but it would have done so by […]
McCain supporters can never again mock Chris Matthew’s “Tingle up my leg” line
Why? Because it’s been topped by the National Review’s Rich Lowry. I’m sure I’m not the only male in America who, when Palin dropped her first wink, sat up a little straighter on the couch and said, “Hey, I think she just winked at me.” And her smile. By the end, when she clearly knew […]
Am I going to discuss last night? You betcha!
What happened last night? Whatever it was, it sure as hell wasn’t a debate. Let’s start with the obvious. Ifill sucked. She honestly deserves the award for the worst debate moderator ever. All her talk about how she worked on the “debate” questions… Nonsense. In fact, halfway through the event anyone would be forgiven for […]
Will the Vice Presidential Debate be dumbed down?
Serious question for serious times. We simply do not have time for Sarah “six pack” Palin to complete finishing school. And speaking of questions… Any ideas of what Ifill will ask? And how Palin will answer?
IT EXISTS!
And it’s worse than I imagined. Warning: This is mind numbingly painful to watch. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRuBdW0yBUY[/youtube] Don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m feeling better about tomorrow night. This woman is an idiot.
Updated: You can’t teach an old dog new tricks
John McCain may suspend his campaign again! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsKfMuENxhY[/youtube] I am so over this nonsense. Hey, maybe if McCain suspends Newt will step in. Seems he’s already messing around behind the scenes. So much for blaming Pelosi. UPDATE: For those of you who’ve forgotten how McCain ended up in this suspension situation again… [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7AagvQA7lc[/youtube] (Via […]
Could the bar be set any lower?
Thursday night is rapidly approaching, and I must confess to conflicting emotions. One the one hand, I fully expect Sarah Palin to be a complete disaster. On the other hand, so does everyone else. So, how does Joe Biden handle the situation of being on stage with a person who has no right to be there? […]
I’m curious
If McCain doesn’t attend the debate tomorrow what will he be doing instead? For that matter, what is he doing tonight?
