Some Rare Bad Poll News For Obama

While all the national and state polls out since the first presidential candidate debate have been going Obama’s way, one poll out today is bucking the trend. And I am really surprised at which poll it is – the ABC News/Washington Post poll from after the debate. As with all polls it is more important […]

Did Democrats Orchestrate A Bailout Failure To Boost Obama?

First we have Nancy Pelosi giving a highly partisan pre-vote speech to enrage the GOP and try and get them to move to the exits – which, actually they didn’t, their numbers did not move that much at all. It was either the dumbest move on the planet to obtain bipartisan support – or a […]

If I Want A Better Education For My Kids I Am A Racist?

Published by under All General Discussions

Oh pullleeease: Political scientists today who study what’s called the “new racism” say, however, that while the underlying stereotypes remain, what’s new is how they are expressed (or rather notexpressed) publicly. Because social scorn attends public expressions of overt racism, neoracists are more subtle: For instance, they may talk about “welfare spending” and support “school choice” […]

The Democrat Record On Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac (2003-2007) – Updated!

Update: Let me pull some killer comments from SBD’s latest update all right after the dems took Congress in 2006: First of all, Fannie Mae Freddie Mac, these are two companies, that have been closely tied to the Democratic Party.

Gotcha Katie!

McCain-Palin took on Katie Couric and put in her place. What is interesting is McCain was demonstrating to Palin how hard you can push back, which is probably the only bit of advice she really needed. I think the liberal media has set expectations so low Palin will shine through. Remember, she represents a lot […]

Pelosi’s “Anything Goes” Partisanship Is The Cancer In DC

Obama lost control of his herd when Nancy Pelosi got up before a critical vote requiring broad bi-partisan support and let lose with typical DC hyper-partisan finger pointing (you can see the video here). Why did she tank a bipartisan bailout with partisan sniping? Is she really that dumb – or is she that calculating […]

Some Rays Of Light In The Polls

Jay Cost at RCP points out a few slivers of hope in the poll numbers: First, the number of undecided voters has increased in the last three weeks, from a low of 6.3% of the electorate on 9/8 to 8.8% last night. Second, the polls themselves have been very volatile this month. The Gallup tracking […]

Joseph Goebbels Rises Up From The Dead And Leads Liberal Media To Their Messiah

The liberal media has been taking a pounding for years now. Some of their crowning acheivements were RaThergate and The Downing Street Memos, where they used cooked up false evidence (in the second case self made) as news to try and promote their political agendas. They also exposed critical national security efforts in a grotesque […]
