Dueling Addresses: Obama Whines About Education, GOP Paints His Policies As Irresponsible

Obama and Senator John Barrasso (R-Wy) offered dueling weekly addresses. Full text of both at the LA Times (love the shot of Obama with his feet up on the Resolute Desk. He has no respect for history). Links to the video are at each politicians name. Ryan Leaf, er, Barack Obama The other day, I […]

Obama And Democrats Continue Assault On Chamber Of Commerce

Remember the good old days, when politicians followed the spirit of the 1st Amendment, and did not attack private entities who used their God given right to criticize the government without fear of reprisal? That was the point of the 1st Amendment, both in spirit, and that “Congress will pass no law……” Enter the modern […]

Harry Reid Could Use Some Viagra For His Campaign After This Ad

Think that one will resonate with voters? Of course, the liberals will probably call it dirty, mean spirited, the same old same old talking points. Which has always amazed me. It’s “mean” to talk about someone’s voting record? Anyhow The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Nevada Voters shows Angle hitting the 50% mark […]

New Democrat Campaign Issues: Abortion And Campaign Donations

Just a few weeks left, and some Democrats are running on ObamaCare, the Stimulus, and their massive spending. Just kidding Republicans have won points with many voters by promising a conservative overhaul of taxes and spending, but Democrats are working hard in the closing weeks of the campaign to convince voters that a conservative social […]

Uh, Oh, More Stuff On O’Donnell…Wait, They’re Of A Democrat? Never Mind

A little mental exercise, folks: consider that the person in the below pictures was a Republican. Would they and the story be all over the media, instead of just a few outlets and blogs?  From NBC 12 in Richmond (WWBT) She wasn’t very well-known until about six hours ago, now a Virginia woman running for […]

Brad Miller (D-NC13) Apparently Confused Over His Party Affiliation

So, I just saw a commercial for Grier Martin, who is running for re-election in North Carolina for District 34, General Assembly. No mention of party affiliation. Nor does his website mention party affiliation. He’s an “independent voice.” Apparently, even those running for state assemblies do not want to let voters know they are Democrats […]

Now Dems Want To Use Minimum Wage As Campaign Boogeyman Against GOP

They won’t run on their record. They won’t discuss their votes for ObamaCare, the Stimulus, and others. They won’t talk about their non-votes for keeping the “Bush tax cuts” and a budget. Many won’t even say they are Democrats in their ads. What to do? Use the minimum wage as a scaretactic Now, Democrats are […]

Say, About That “Dems Have Closed The Voter Gap” Meme

Heartache at the NY Times Democratic poll-watchers were having a pretty good Monday. Rasmussen Reports had shown Republicans with a relatively small 3-point advantage on the generic ballot — the narrowest advantage that Rasmussen has shown for Republicans in about a year. Meanwhile, two polls in a pivotal Senate race, Connecticut, showed the Democrat Richard […]

Oh, No, Special Interest Spending Way Up This Election Cycle

You know which side is going to be the bad guy, right? Interest groups are spending five times as much on the 2010 congressional elections as they did on the last midterms, and they are more secretive than ever about where that money is coming from. The $80 million spent so far by groups outside […]

Democrats Already Planning For Lame Duck Session With 20 Bills

They can see the writing on the wall that they will lose the House, and a slight change of losing the Senate. So, what do they do? Bow to the will of the People and take a break from their destructive legislative agenda? Yeah. Sure. Right. Like that’ll happen Democrats are considering cramming as many […]
