John McCain has been very vocal on reducing taxes for big oil. I wonder how this plays into it: “She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? said Green, a Republican from Palin’s hometown of Wasilla. “Look at what she’s done to this state. What would […]

I have been looking into a story that I first heard on Countdown last night. It seems that the birth of Palin’s son this year was met with a little drama. Palin was speaking at the Republican Governors Association in April. A couple of hours before her speech she started having labor pains, I have […]

Of all people, it looks like McCain may have just lost David Frum. They key point from his post: Here’s I fear the worst harm that may be done by this selection. The McCain campaign’s slogan is “country first.” It’s a good slogan, and it aptly describes John McCain, one of the most self-sacrificing, gallant, […]

That is the part of our Constitution that lays out the only real job of the vice-President. That job is to be the President of the Senate. We were reminded of this about a year ago by another vice-President – Dick Cheney. What legislative experience does Sarah Palin have? I have read a lot of […]

Actually all Democrats running for Congress received an endorsement from John McCain today, as well as all Democrats running for Governor. Why? It’s simple if you think about it. He has chosen a person with less than 2 years experience in anything that counts to be the number two of this country. Now I know […]

This is one of those double take moments. During his statement on the failing of the bailout bill, John McCain blamed it on partisanship, then immediately went into a partisan attack the very next sentence. Also worth mentioning is the statement his campaign released after the bill failed blaimng Barack Obama solely for it. In […]

Howie gives us the details of the love Sarah Palin has with pork: In fact, Palin has always been a pork-crazed maniac, the kind of straw man McCain loves to bash on the stump. This year Alaska received nearly $100 million more In pork than any other state ($379,669,715). According to the Senate Lobbying Disclosure […]

He got the bailout to pass! Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and his top aides took credit for building a winning bailout coalition – hours before the vote failed and stocks tanked. The rush to claim he had engineered a victory now looks like a strategic blunder that will prolong the McCain’s campaign’s difficulty in finding […]

Part of the McCain statement on Palin had me scratching my head: In Alaska, Governor Palin challenged a corrupt system and passed a landmark ethics reform bill. She has actually used her veto and cut budgetary spending. She put a stop to the “bridge to nowhere” that would have cost taxpayers $400 million dollars. (emphasis […]

(h/t Paddy for the graphic) Here is some of the news about Palin popping up: McCain’s VP Choice Is Under Ethics Investigation For Abuse Of Power In Alaska Alaska Gov. And Longshot McCain VP Praises Obama’s Energy Plan As people get digging, I am sure we will have much more in the way of fun […]
