Has Hell frozen over? Fox News vs. McCain

Filed in National by on September 15, 2008 10 Comments

Has McCain gone too far with his sleazy ads?

Filed in National by on September 14, 2008 33 Comments

Just ask Karl Rove. “McCain has gone in his ads one step too far, and sort of attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the 100-percent-truth test,” said Rove. “Both campaigns ought to be careful about… there ought to be an adult who says: ‘Do we really need to go that far in […]

Lies

Seems the honeymoon is over and the MSM is filing for divorce. And from what I’m reading the break up isn’t going to be civil. Paul Krugman, New York Times: Did you hear about how Barack Obama wants to have sex education in kindergarten, and called Sarah Palin a pig? Did you hear about how […]

McCain/Palin get a spanking from FactCheck.org

Filed in National by on September 11, 2008 13 Comments

How embarrassing!   Be honest… every blogger’s/pundit’s dream is to have FactCheck.org back up your premise. Having them post a full page spread calling you a liar… totally humiliating.

Filed in National by on September 11, 2008 3 Comments

Want the blueprint for how we got into Iraq? McCain lays it out for all to see. September 11, 2001: “To be honest with you, Dan, I never thought that an operation of this sophistication and size would take place. I just never did. But I don’t think there’s any doubt that there are countries […]

Leave Sarah Palin Alone!

Filed in National by on September 7, 2008 29 Comments

I’m serious. Leave her alone. I know she’s a liberal bloggers dream and the posts write themselves, but we (myself included) need to back off. This election is about McCain. By focusing on Palin we are taking the attention away from the top of the ticket. And I’m beginning to think that’s exactly what the […]

In an earlier thread, Rebecca linked to an article from Politico that might make McCain reconsider his attack the press strategy. Doesn’t look like the media will be rolling over this time. On behalf of the media, I would like to say we are sorry. On behalf of the elite media, I would like to […]

Did Sarah Palin do what she needed to do?

Filed in National by on September 4, 2008 118 Comments

I have no doubt that Palin’s speech last night fired up the Far, Far Right, but how did it play with the middle? And, let’s face it, this election will be determined by Independents and Moderates. So, did Palin draw them in or turn them off? She had another task last night. She had to […]
