The Republicans have circled the wagons this week around Sarah Palin and her family. Well it seems like that plan is backfiring: For two days, the chorus from Republicans on TV news and in the halls of the convention has been resounding: Back off and let the Palin family be. “That’s out of bounds,” said […]
He was just on MSNBC saying how parents of special needs children will flock to Palin because of her son. Excuse me? Growing up with a special needs brother, I have one of those parents and she can’t stand Palin. I have also spend a lot of time working with special needs kids over the […]
“Buy American, Vote Obama” is the new theme that the Obama campaign is rolling out in Pennsylvania this weekend. I am glad to see the return of “Buy American” in our political discussion. I remember back in the 80’s people around here drove about an hour over to Indiana to buy American at a store […]

The bill does have a veto proof majority in both houses, so it might get overturned. The big question – will John McCain show up to help insure the veto gets overturned, or will he miss it and try to claim victory if it succeeds? This is what he did on the original vote – […]
John McCain is digging for an answer when confronted about his vote against insuring contraceptives over Viagra. McCain seems to have a problem remembering how he voted for different items. He also slammed Obama for missing a vote, that McCain himself missed. Is this another “senior moment”, or can we go ahead and diagnose him […]
I want to know where it’s at. Where’s this important party unity we keep hearing about? Well Republicans – where is it? You’re presumptive nominee is failing to get about a 1/4 of the vote. This has been a constant trend for John McCain since securing the nomination. It really looks like your party is […]
You finally managed to win more than 80% of the vote in a primary since becoming your parties presumptive nominee. It’s unfortunate that the media is so focused on the Democrats and their primaries, that they won’t even acknowledge this milestone in your bid for the White House.
