Ryan Lizza has a great piece up about the Democratic ticket. This part really caught my eye: Biden consulted with his closest political advisers, including Ted Kaufman, Mike Donilon, and John Marttila, all of whom have been with him since the early days of his career. “They convinced me that I could have more influence […]
If she is too afraid of Biden, how can she stand up to world leaders? At the insistence of the McCain campaign, the Oct. 2 debate between the Republican nominee for vice president, Gov. Sarah Palin, and her Democratic rival, Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., will have shorter question-and-answer segments than those for the presidential […]
She don’t believe women who become pregnant after being raped should be allowed to have an abortion. Right – that is a view shared by quiet a few wingnuts in this country. But what about having to pay for forensic evidence collection after you been raped? Well Sarah Palin thinks you, the victim, should have […]
And they want this idiot to be our vice-President? Speaking before voters in Colorado Springs, the Republican vice presidential nominee claimed that lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had “gotten too big and too expensive to the taxpayers.” The companies, as McClatchy reported, “aren’t taxpayer funded but operate as private companies. The takeover may […]
It seems like the general consensus amongst the pundits regarding John’s big moment is the same feeling I had watching it – yawn. He didn’t lay out a single policy, and instead stayed on his “change” platform. Funny – it seems like every Republican has said that since I can remember. As matter of fact […]
John McCain has said we need a vice-President who can take over on day one. We have also heard on numerous occasions of how much 9/11 changed the world. So we are in this post-9/11 world, where people plan on doing bad things. That means the President is at a greater risk of being incapacitated […]
Earlier today Andrea Mitchell reported that Republican operatives and lawyers were heading to Alaska to actually vet Palin. Stephonopolous has also confirmed this now, meaning it is gaining traction. I believe this whole involving her daughter being pregnant might have a little more to it if questions get asked. The main question should be “Why […]
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”. In all honesty, it was their strongest argument. Now there is an investigation into an alleged vindictive abuse of powers by Palin. If this story proves to be true, […]
This is a post that just amazes me, and not in the good way: This solidifies my decision to vote McCain. And it is not just because there is a woman on his ticket. It is because John McCain selected a woman. He put his presidency on the line, he put his faith in a […]
John McCain has been very vocal on reducing taxes for big oil. I wonder how this plays into it: “She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president? said Green, a Republican from Palin’s hometown of Wasilla. “Look at what she’s done to this state. What would […]
