I thought McCain was supposed to be this “maverick”, always going against his party. Well on his first real test of that, he failed: Up until midweek last week, some 48 to 72 hours before Mr. McCain introduced Ms. Palin at a Friday rally in Dayton, Ohio, Mr. McCain was still holding out the hope […]
When the Republicans pushed through the impeachment of Bill Clinton, they defended their actions with claims that he had “betrayed the trust in the American people”.

The Ohio GOP has been busted for illegally funneling almost $500,000 dollars into a fund for Ken Blackwell during his failed try to retain the Secretary of State office in 2006: The letter says Ohio’s Republican party collected nearly half a million dollars from a federal GOP account in October 2006.

They wanted him “to throw some red meat to the crowd… To […]
He has published a list of pointers for McCain when it comes to taking on Obama. Here are a couple of highlights: 6. Allow some supporters to risk being accused of using the race card when criticizing Obama. 11. Emphasize Barack Hussein Obama’s unusual name and exotic background through a Manchurian Candidate prism. Maybe McCain […]
The rumors are flying that it could be true: Josh Romney, one of former Gov. Mitt Romney’s five sons, says it’s “possible” his father may rejoin the race for the White House, either as a vice presidential candidate or seek to become the Republican Party’s standard bearer if the campaign of Sen. John McCain falters. […]
He is the defacto nominee of the Republican party, yet voters aren’t buying it. They voted for Huckabee yesterday – the third place candidate prior to Romney dropping out. Even the neo-cons at CPAC aren’t buying into McCain. In their straw poll this weekend, they voted for the guy who dropped out – Mitt Romney. […]
