Comment Rescue: Truth Teller Loves Him Some Pandering

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 4, 2008 19 Comments

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 […]

You’re Doin’ A Heck of A Job There, Mr. Bush!

On the eve of the DE Republican Convention, we should note that it turns out that 7 years of the Worst.President.Ever. has the amazing side benefit of creating new, young Democratic voters. A new poll from Pew shows that the previous CW about Dems having a slight advantage among younger voters (18-29 year olds) may […]

I hate correcting my own kind, but when I read delaware’s not hottest blogger pose this question How is this different from Iran saying that they want to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth?. I couldn’t help myself anymore. It is one thing for some commonsense moron to say this, but my own […]

Hillary: She’s Panderific!

Filed in Uncategorized by on May 1, 2008 14 Comments

Yesterday, Donviti had a post about Hillary signing on for the terrible McCain plan of a federal tax holiday on gas for the summer. This is a clear case of the wrong answer to the question. I think it is designed to appeal to Hillary’s base, the uneducated masses. While snarky, it is indeed the […]

The Same River Twice

Friday night’s interview by Bill Moyers of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright was another of those signature conversations that Moyers is rightfully so famous for. While Moyers is a skilled and erudite interviewer across a wide range of topics, he really seems at his best when discussing religion and theology. (If you haven’t seen Moyers interviewing […]

Gen-Irrational Gap

My family, like many families, has split along generational lines during this primary season. My brother and I support Obama. Mom and Dad are in Hillary’s camp. However, to be fair, Mom is staying neutral by saying that she likes both candidates. My brother has the luxury of living in California, and, therefore, has not […]

How Florida is Useful For the Democrats

Filed in Uncategorized by on April 25, 2008 38 Comments

Florida provides a very interesting case study for us. They were eliminated from being involved in nominating the Democratic Presidential candidate. So to a degree they are an unvarnished example of Hillary’s starting point. None of the candidates campaigned there (except for ads that were run there as a result of some national advertising package). […]

The NYT Calls Out Obama, Hillary and McCain

Filed in Uncategorized by on April 24, 2008 25 Comments

On taxes, no less. On the editorial page. One of the toughest questions that will face the next president is what to do about taxes. There can be no real progress on health care, rebuilding the military or any other major issue without dealing with rising budget deficits and mounting debt from nearly eight years […]

Republicans love Hillary. They won’t vote for her, but they love her

Filed in Uncategorized by on April 24, 2008 55 Comments

Is it a coincidence that republican/conservative bloggers on DL, and elsewhere, keep pumping up Hillary Clinton’s candidacy? I think not. Obama is not only running against both Clintons, he’s running against the GOP as well. Hillary supporters pay attention. The dark side loves you. The reason they haven’t attacked you has nothing to do with […]
