I might not always agree with Meghan McCain’s political views, but you got to love her brutal honesty on some things: Yet even as the balance begins to shift, the old guard is still yapping in the foreground. Shortly before McCain sat for this interview, Samuel Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, gave an interview to […]
There are a couple strong theories behind Palin’s resignation right now. One is that she got fed up with the media attention and the other is that she is being indicted. I want to focus on the first. Let’s go with that first reason. If Palin thinks the media spotlight is too bright now, then […]
Reading the latest interview with Levi Johnston something really caught my eye: At the time, the Palins insinuated he’d have to move to D.C. if McCain won. “I ain’t never moving,” he says with a shudder, thinking back. So the Palin’s were telling him where he and his bride would have to live? I don’t […]

Those are five words I swore I never would write. Now I have to eat crow and defend him against this: Karl Rove follows me on Twitter. That’s creepy. I joined Twitter a few months ago; so far, it has been a liberating way to transition from political to personal blogging. It’s allowed me to […]
Sadly though what they are recycling is old talking points: RNC chair Michael Steele has unleashed a new attack on Obama, sending out a mass mailing attacking the President as part of the “blame America first” crowd, an apparent effort to prove to critics that he’s getting tougher with the opposition. But this might be […]
Meghan McCain’s latest piece exemplifies the problems of the GOP that I have been talking about for years: It is no secret that the Republican Party, for all its faults, consistently displays party unity. But Democratic leaders seem more concerned with their own personal agendas than supporting President Obama and the future of their party. […]
The fact that the stimulus isn’t seeing any Republican votes in the House and only three in the Senate isn’t a sign that it’s a bad bill, it’s a sign that it’s something against a far-right ideology that has plagued this country for too long. A perfect example of this is from the mouth of […]
Priceless: “In discussing with the American people his approach to the stimulus of our economy, he has first really used some dangerous words,” said Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona, the No. 2 Republican.
