Yesterday, McCain voted for a bill containing hundreds of millions in earmarks (better known as pork barrel spending). Today, he suggested that Dubya should veto that bill — the same bill on which he voted yes. The bottom line — when the chips are down, McCain’s promises to change Washington by eliminating pork spending appears to be just empty words. Now, some of you might want to point out that Obama also voted for the ...

OK, enough of the Sarah Palin crap … Obama might have only been talking about McCain's policies when he said "lipstick on a pig," but I'm not. I'm talking about McCain's entire candidacy … and as far as I'm concerned, that's all Palin was: Lipstick for a pig of a presidential candidate. And it's not [...]

Islamic law has been officially adopted in Britain, with sharia courts given powers to rule on Muslim civil cases - One more reasons NOT to elect Obama - Remember when Obama said “My Muslim Faith” ? The government has quietly sanctioned the powers for sharia judges to rule on cases ranging from divorce and financial disputes to those involving domestic violence. Rulings issued by a network of five sharia courts are enforceable with the full ...

One of the things that’s been playing through my head lately is the distance between the liberal worldview and actual reality. The media arguments directed at Palin, especially those that deal with women’s issues, really highlighted that divide for me. Let’s begin with the way in which liberals distinguish themselves from conservativeds, something David Smithee examines in Palin and the Left’s Comprehension Gap. The title is self-explanatory. Smithee explains that part of the hubris that ...

Hat tips: Daily Kos and Americablog From Newsweek: An Anchorage judge three years ago warned Sarah Palin and members of her family to stop “disparaging” the reputation of Alaska State Trooper Michael Wooten, who at the time was undergoing a bitter separation and divorce from Palin’s sister Molly. Allegations that Palin, her husband Todd, and at least one top gubernatorial aide continued to vilify Wooten—after Palin became Alaska’s governor and pressured state police officials to ...

by BigSkyFreeper Focus in the media seems to be trying to find something to pin on Sarah Palin in hopes that it sticks there. I thought that some of this needs to be pushed back against their efforts to bring down Governor Palin, particularly the charge that Sarah Palin was for the Bridge To Nowhere. Back in 2005, Congress voted on and passed H.R. 3058 [109th Congress]: “Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, the Judiciary, ...

What a brave and fearless, fiscal reformer. Palin regularly used the "per diem" food expenses of eating at home as well as the travel expenses for the family, including the kids. Heck, why should they pay for anything when the state can foot the bill?Alaska Gov.

Washington Post: ST. PAUL — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee who revealed Monday that her 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, earlier this year used her line-item veto to slash funding for a state program benefiting teen mothers in need of a place to live. After the legislature passed a spending bill in April, Palin went through the measure reducing and eliminating funds for programs she opposed. Inking her initials on the legislation — ...

One reason The Daily Show with Jon Stewart works is, they seem to be the only television show where old clips are shown with new. I have no idea why the broader media doesn't do this more often, because it so aptly points out the lies and hypocrisy that go on in politics. Plus, why write jokes when the subjects so clearly mock themselves?I don't watch The Daily Show that often, but I caught this ...

And it's not just Rove who is a hypocrite. This is freakin' brilliant. By the way, in that clip, Rove calls Wasilla Alaska's 2nd largest city. Based on current estimated population, that would actually be Fairbanks ... at 31,142. Juneau comes third at 30,737. Wasilla is fourth, believe it or not, at 9,236 today.

A new McCain campaign attack ad shows lots of images of Obama, but for some unexplained reason has an ominous ”dark shadow” hanging over him. That’s bad enough, but the real killer is that this same strange shadow is used in an image where Obama is standing in front of a crowd holding up the letters that spell C H A N G E. Except that the dark shadow is obscuring the first and last ...
