Sure we can’t trust politicians to do what they say, but now we also can’t trust them to even say something remotely truthful. Take Rick Perry for example: For a small-government conservative on the presidential campaign stump like Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a new federal regulation forcing farmers to get commercial drivers licenses would make a […]
Leave it to FOX News to manufacturer whatever they want to pass off as facts. Media Matters has done an in-depth report on Fox’s continued lies about Obama and the oil spill. This one really sticks out at me: Kilmeade: There are “problems” with BP giving “$750 million to a campaign like they did to […]
From Crawford’s blog: For those who might be interested – and you have every reason not to be – I am no longer with MSNBC. Three months short of my current contract I sent the following to the boss, Phil Griffin: “Phil, Just wanted to give you the heads up that my situation with MSNBC […]
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 […]
Today’s contestant is Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama. On Fox News this morning, Shelby reaffirmed his belief that Obama was taking us “down the road of socialism”. The big thing he blamed? WALLACE: Sen. Shelby, you say that the Obama administration is taking us down the road to socialism. Explain. SHELBY: Well, obviously. So, they […]

The only thing that matters to Republicans is to oppose it: The National Republican Trust PAC, currently the best-funded and most aggressive independent Republican group, has dispatched a round of letters to Republican senators threatening to go after senators who back President Obama’s judicial nominees. “I encourage you […]
I posted the email last night that John McCain sent out stating he would be running for re-election in 2010. The email, as with all of these, was mainly for the purpose of fundraising. But let’s take a look at one key paragraph and what McCain is using to stimulate his fundraising: The economic challenges […]
I keep hearing the media say that Obama is “fear mongering” when talking about the stimulus plan. Here’s an example from today: The Note, 02/11/09: Fear Itself — A $3 trillion day, a bailout bust, as the president stokes fear to prod action So we are losing a record number of jobs, businesses are closing […]
The AP has been becoming more and more vile in their claim of propriety. Last year they wanted people to pay a ridiculous amount of money to quote any of their articles and now, well they are going after the artist who made this famous poster: On buttons, posters and Web sites, the image was […]
Hmmm somehow having this name out there today seems to have a very odd twist of irony: Joe the Plumber is scheduled to address GOP congressional aides today on the economic stimulus package, Politico reports. Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, of Ohio, became a household name during the presidential campaign after a brief sidewalk debate with candidate […]
