So Much for the Straight Talk

When confronted on why he opposed Bush’s tax cuts, John McCain said it was because they didn’t come with spending cuts. Umm, okaaaay.
That’s not what he said in 2001, when his reason was because he thought the tax cuts favored the wealthy over the middle class.
And that’s not what he said in 2003, when he [...]

Question of the Day

The NY Post endorses Barack Obama and asks…
“Does America really want to go through all that again?”
All that, of course, being Bill and Hillary Clinton. They go on.
Democrats in 22 states across America go to the polls next Tuesday to pick between two presidential prospects: Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
We urge them to choose [...]

Trouble in the Streisand Family

If momma’s not happy, ain’t nobody happy.
Barbra Streisand is reportedly furious that stepson Josh Brolin is to play the lead role in a forthcoming biopic of US President George W. Bush. The National Enquirer claims that the singer, a staunch Democrat supporter, pleaded with Brolin not to appear in the Oliver Stone-directed film. A source [...]

And Then There Were Two

John Edwards joined Rudy Giuliani and gave up the fight today.
Democrat John Edwards is exiting the presidential race Wednesday, ending a scrappy underdog bid in which he steered his rivals toward progressive ideals while grappling with family hardship that roused voters’ sympathies, The Associated Press has learned.
The two-time White House candidate notified a close circle [...]

So, That’s It Then?

We’re stuck with McCain?
And what about Rudy? Man, talk about a lame campaign. Not that I intended to vote for the man, but sheesh – who told the guy that he should stay out of every race until Florida, anyhow? And why was Rudy so stupid to go along with that plan? Oh well.
And what’s [...]

Suckas!

This is really an amazing editorial from New Hampshire.
COURTING VOTERS in Iowa and New Hampshire, last August Sen. Hillary Clinton signed a pledge not to “campaign or participate” in the Michigan or Florida Democratic primaries. She participated in both primaries and is campaigning in Florida. Which proves, again, that Hillary Clinton is a liar.
Clinton kept [...]

Bill’s Nose Rubbed In It

Bad dog!
Bill Clinton appears to be trying to stay positive as he campaigns for his wife in New Jersey.
The former president has been accused of injecting race and negativity into Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign. Today, he didn’t mention Barack Obama or the divisiveness that has taken hold of the race.
He told a room crammed with [...]

Tied at 40%

Now this is interesting.
The first Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Connecticut’s Democratic Presidential Primary shows the race couldn’t possibly get any closer. New York Senator Hillary Clinton attracts 40% of the vote and so does Illinois Senator Barack Obama.

Wasn’t the Northeast suppose to be made impenetrable by anyone challenging Hillary Clinton?

Led Zeppelin might kick off a world tour. What would you play to see ‘em play?

What Did I Miss?

Got stuck at work, then traveled home at 5 mph in ice and snow. As such, I missed the State of the Union address. I’ll have to watch it later. Until then, this is a great place to go to find a wide range of reaction.
