Confederate Yankee: But perhaps the most sinister undertone is the hint of hopefulness among a certain element of the left wing that perhaps someone will succeed in assassinating Barack Obama. Such a tragedy would serve as a confirmation of their firmly held beliefs that conservatives are evil, and could possibly trigger a backlash that would […]
Check this out from last night’s debate and listen for the little whisper of “raise taxes”. Cesca sez: It’s either a spooky electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) of Reagan himself, or The Romney Unit was receiving answers from an advisor. Listen for the whisper, “Raise taxes.” Amato thinks “it’s very curious indeed”. and Schecter is wondering […]
There used to be a time in this country where people could easily ask candidates questions and didn’t have to be screened before hand. The sad part is that has been within my lifetime, and I’m not even 40 yet! But here we are in 2007 and these candidates, who all try to out tough-guy […]
It looks like Bush’s surprise visit to Iraq is not yielding the results he would have hoped for. One interesting article shows how the administration is receiving the news that U.K. forces have pulled out of Basara: The American response to the pull out has so far been muted, despite its crucial timing.

This time the excuse is being applied to the U.S.A. purge. A lot of Bush apologists are out […]
That is what this is all about: China faced a barrage of international condemnation from London to Canberra yesterday after it was revealed that it had launched a missile attack on an ageing weather satellite, a test that threatened to open a “Star Wars” space race. Formal protests were lodged with the Beijing government, accompanied […]
(I have been in a very sarcastic mood today for some reason, but the following is serious and there is no room for sarcasm or satire in it) We got another taste of Bush’s typical partisan attacks in his speech today when he had to make that statement claiming Democrats will raise taxes if they […]
Bush has done it again. He has set a new low. PEW has released their latest approval rating for Bush and he is now at 33%, down by 7% from February. Also in the same poll they focused on the port deal. 58% feel Congress acted appropriately by opposing the deal while only 24% felt […]
James Webb, the former Navy Secretary under Reagan and an outspoken critic of the war in Iraq has announced a run for Senate in Virginia, opposing 5 term Republican Senator George Allen according to the Richmond Times Dispatch. This is another great step forward for Democrats. Not only does it put in some good opposition […]
