The other night I covered the pardon problems of Mike Huckabee and Tim Pawlenty. Now a new GOP pardon problem comes to life. This one doesn’t involve a presidential candidate, but rather a former President and aTea Party darling: Though it’s typically pardon-empowered governors who must fret about their felons in the closet, legislators can […]
Remember this from the 2008 general election? In all the commotion over Hillary Clinton’s long goodbye to the Democratic nomination fight, an odd moment in the Republican race got surprisingly little attention. Presumptive nominee John McCain called a Phoenix radio station last Friday and confessed to a secret passion for ABBA! Well McCain isn’t the […]
Tiffany’s isn’t the only place Newt Gingrich can get some bling. He also can get the poor man’s bling by just attending an event: GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and his wife Callista were hit with glittery confetti by a protester Tuesday during the couple’s appearance at a book-signing. The man approached the Gingriches during […]
Could you imagine a Democrat making this claim, instead of a Republican presidential contender? Now comes presidential candidate and “enhanced interrogation” supporter Rick Santorum arguing on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show that McCain simply “doesn’t understand how enhanced interrogation works.” Yes, he’s talking about the same John McCain who, in his five and a half years […]
Way before Sarah Palin ever put out her “locked and loaded” ads, her rhetoric helped increase violence. Here’s a reminder in an article from November 8, 2008: The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of “palling around with terrorists”, citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers. The attacks provoked […]
I love it. Every time some new big outrage rips through the nation, politicians take to the airwaves to whip it out and see who has the biggest. Take Mike Huckabee for example: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says execution is the appropriate punishment for the leaker who provided thousands of State Department documents to […]
I try to stay out of the antics of America’s most desperate soap opera, The Wasiila-Billies, but this latest saga has way too many indicators that Sarah Palin is gearing up for a run in 2012. Last week news broke via People Magazine that Levi Johnston issued a major mea culpa to the Palin family: […]
The GOP has already been saying that they will run on repealing healthcare. Let’s look at the things that will already be enacted at that time. NO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST CHILDREN WITH PRE?EXISTING CONDITIONS — Prohibits new health plans in all markets plus grandfathered group health plans from denying coverage to children with pre?existing conditions. Effective […]
Easy – buy them yourself! Sarah Palin has been using her political action committee to buy up thousands of copies of her book, “Going Rogue,” in order to mail copies of the memoir to her donors, newly filed campaign records show. The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate had her political organization […]
The big news yesterday was this “private” remark from Harry Reid, which appears on page 37 of Game Change encouragement of Obama was unequivocal. He was wowed by Obama’s oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama — a “light-skinned” African American “with […]
