Steve Newton gives the Delaware Blogosphere a spanking

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 […]

Good News You Haven’t (Really) Heard Yet

BushCo signs the paperwork for a transition. The mess this man leaves means that the next President has a quite unenviable job on his hands. It is really clear that John McCain is not only not up to the job, he doesn’t even care about fixing the mess. Our long national nightmare is almost over. […]

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? […]

Ed Rollins Calls It for Obama

Filed in National by on October 10, 2008 3 Comments

Wow. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFDyalnTJbs[/youtube] Ed Rollins was the Campaign Manager for Ronald Reagan’s campaigns — he was an adept practitioner of the Southern Strategy and Lee Atwater worked for him.  Rollins is a rat bastard, but he is a smart and politically astute rat bastard and he seems to be looking past this election now asking McCain […]

He Knew It All Along

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH2iufUU1f4[/youtube] Obama mapped out McCain’s End (Political) Times strategy back in July.  And when he did, McCain and his minions all rose up and accused him of playing the race card.  The McCain Camp counted that race card business as a win for them.  But here we are, and it unfolds exactly as Obama called […]

And Now for Something Completely Different

And Now for Something Completely Different

This is cool: When Barack Obama’s campaign bus made a swing through Missouri in July, the unlikeliest of supporters were waiting for him — or rather two of them, holding the banner: “Rednecks for Obama.” In backing the first African-American nominee of a major party for the US presidency, the pair are on a grassroots […]

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 […]

After admitting defeat in Michigan last week, McCain quietly shut down all the campaign offices in the rest of the 49 states on Wednesday. While on the Straight Talk Express, […]
