To those shouting “Denver!”

Just go away.  Go vote for McCain if you wish, but get far away from this party.  You are not Democrats.  You are ideologues.  You don’t believe in majority rules with respect to minority rights, you believe in entitlement.  You don’t believe in compromise, you believe in fighting amongst ourselves. This election isn’t about [...]

Battle of the GI Bills

According to CNN, the difference in cost of the competing Webb-Hagel and McCain GI Bills is $2 billion. Put into context that is equal to the cost of fighting the war for one week.
John McCain fights to save our tax dollars for the war.

Two revolutionary ideas for Kevin James

Since he only had one word on which to hinge his entire argument yesterday on Hardball.  Much thanks to Chris Matthews for simply showing how some who have prominent positions and loud voices on talk radio have no idea or concern for the facts, they only concern themselves with apologizing for the current, corrupt administration.

Here [...]

McCain’s ’spiritual guide’ Rod Parsley: “We get off on warfare!”

This is absurdity ad nauseam, and I know Michael Savage isn’t taken seriously by 90% of his listeners, but I can’t even believe he thinks this nonsense is legitimate. Reverend Wright can easily be described as a harsh critic of American foreign and domestic policy, but he’s served this country for 6 years in [...]

I sure wish John McCain would support the troops, I have friends DYING for an education

This is not uncommon.  This is how the current administration is treating the troops, and how Senator McCain will continue to treat them if he is elected.  He’s already contended that giving education benefits to soldiers who serve the country for only two years would hurt the military by decreasing retention.  This is already more [...]

Cindy McCain - was she funding genocide, or is she helping to stop it?

A recent AP article describing the mutual fund sale of $2 million in oil-related companies operating in Sudan by Cindy McCain. The information actually came from a McCain campaign spokesperson, which I take to mean it is relevant for public consumption of the entire picture of all three candidates. We can discuss acquaintances, [...]

Gnarls Barkley - Going On

This video is awesome, the duo is progress personified and everything they becomes a roadmap to distant lands.  If you don’t love them, you should find out why.
Any who needs what they want and doesn’t want what they need, I want nothing to do with.
Honestly this video keeps on consuming me.  It gives me chills. [...]

556 gallons consumed = $100 saved, happy gas tax holiday!

John McCain is speaking in Phoenix today (05/05/08), fielding typical questions along with a few ‘Cinco de Mayo’ immigration questions. It’s laughable that reporters say things like “since it’s Cinco de Mayo, I wanted to ask you about immigration.” McCain has been one of the more rational Republicans on the issue. He [...]

It’s not anti-American, it is just too American for some

Lately this stupid “anti-American” tag is getting thrown around more and more.  Partly because of the Reverend Wright debacle and a super patriot named Nash McCabe, partly because it’s political season and those with no substance sling mud.  I’m getting tired of hearing things labeled un-American or anti-American as if there is some sort of [...]

Barack Obama is giving Republicans a reason to roam

This comment was posted on a recent article from the Cafferty File.  
Judy from Dodge City writes:
Jack, what’s changed is my perception of the Republican party. I was raised by staunch Republicans and have never voted any other way … until this year. I’m through. Finished. The situation has become untenable. Forgive me if I [...]

McCain admits oil is a motive to send troops to Middle East

My friends, I will have an energy policy that we will be talking about, which will eliminate our dependence on oil from the Middle East that will - that will then prevent us - that will prevent us from having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the Middle East.

God bless the rich elitist, screw the poor and bitter

After drawing meaning from bowling scores, Reverend Wright and the manufactured distraction of the “bitter” remarks, this crap better blow up the same way. If it doesn’t get the same kind of media analysis and speculation as those situations, there’s something disgustingly wrong with our media. They already spin things to no end, [...]

What America’s pulse thinks of wars:

“Sixteen military wives. Thirty-two softly focused, brightly colored eyes. Staring at the natural tan of thirty-two gently clenching, wrinkled little hands.” When people talk about attacks on the modern family, here’s an unnecessary one.

Two generations can virtually sing the same the anthem in unison. It’s not a happy anthem. It’s [...]

The War Prayer by Mark Twain

It was a time of great and exalting excitement. The country was up in arms, the war was on, in every breast burned the holy fire of patriotism; the drums were beating, the bands playing, the toy pistols popping, the bunched firecrackers hissing and spluttering; on every hand and far down the receding and fading [...]

Super-delegates never were going to steal the election, but they are Obama’s insurance after a rough patch

I have a theory. After seeing Chuck Todd say that another super-delegate has jumped ship from the Clinton to Obama campaign, citing the tone of the campaign. A lot of things are happening, and the candidates are each reacting to literally everything. Partly because they’re asked a ton of questions every day. [...]

“We don’t know much about this guy” is a lie about Obama

Tonight on MSNBC’s Verdict with Dan Abrams, Tony Blankley, a former speechwriter for the Reagan administration concluded the media is addressing the Reverend Wright circus properly.  He feels that because we’re on the cusp of potentially electing the first black president — and since we don’t know much about him — we must consider things like [...]
