Breaking: McCain Supports Obama Iraq Plan

26Feb09

Via HuffPo:
“They’re going to present us their recommendations. It’s their plan,” he said. “From what I know about it, I agree with it.”
For McCain, the plan has virtue because it is backed by the generals and the ambassador to Iraq, Ryan Crocker. “I like it best because it’s what Ambassador Crocker and General [Raymond] Odierno [...]

Vindication

24Oct08

With McCain now groveling to Pennsylvanians to keep him at all alive in this race, all I have to say is man, I love being right.

Ask and You Shall Receive…

18Sep08

This is one hell of a tricky ”elbow in the paint”:
From Kausfiles:
Light This Candle! Obama’s new Spanish-language ad uses some out-of-context Limbaugh quotes to give the impression that McCain is anti-Latino. Jennifer Rubin says:
Plainly, Obama is testing what the market for his negativity and non-New Politics will bear, daring McCain to go negative.
Or maybe (just between us) [...]

Obama VP This Week; McCain Aug. 29

19Aug08

Drudge reports that Obama will name his VP on Wednesday. As Matt Drudge is the bane of most liberals, I’d almost expect that Obama will go ahead and name him (and it will be a him) tomorrow instead; as he may not get enough news time if he does it Thursday. Word has it that [...]

Why Elizabeth “Let” John Run

13Aug08

I have a lot of…issues with the Edwards story. I definitely took Edwards’ side from the beginning, but since the admission, obviously much has changed. So first, let me say this: I feel lied to.
Not only do I look like a fool for having defended him, it bothers me that this is even an issue. [...]

Next Time You Hear About the Tax Burden…

12Aug08

Remember this story. The Government Accountability Office, or GAO, is releasing a study today that reports that roughly 2/3rd of major corporations do not pay taxes.  The scope of the study was massive; done over the course of 7 years, it measured as much as 110,000 tax returns a year. In 2005, it found that [...]

The Polls that Matter (and as Al Gore knows, the ones that don’t)

02Aug08

One may ask why, in the state of despair that America is currently in, that John McCain, member of the party that got us into this mess is now tied in the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll. Believe me, I am one. While Gallup’s poll may show a strong indication that Canada’s population will grow by [...]

The Republicans’ Leaky Asses

19Jul08

To have any chance of winning this election, John McCain is going to have to prove he is different from his predecessor GWB. Amazingly, McCain has stayed relatively close in polls (8 points is relatively good when the president has a 28% approval rating). Interestingly, Republicans have long considered themselves champions family values and morals, [...]

This is not a fair fight

11Jul08

Obama is up by about 8 points right now nationally. However, he has not been doing well amongst his base, due to his vote in favor of FISA (despite his vote for the amendments to take away telecom immunity), his statements about the death penalty, gun laws…anything that has made him look centrist. It must [...]
