A Roadie for the Rock Star

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Depending on which McCain ad you see, Johnny Walnuts thinks Obama is either a rock star or Charlton Heston wannabee. As the ads correctly assert, the O-Man can fire up a crowd and get them thinking seditiously about hope and change. However, McCain seems to think the ability to talk ...

Changing The Lives Of Others Requires That We Change Ours First

Monday, July 7th, 2008

When it's all said and done, very little in life changes...and the changes that are made are often painfully slow. All too often we get lost in our efforts to change (direct) others when what we really need to do is change (redirect) ourselves. This years election, more so than ...

Do You Have Faith in Faith-Based Initiatives?

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Evangelicals seem to be odd man out this political season. Their much-vaunted voting block isn't concrete-solid this time around. McCain courts them with little success, even after gratuitously changing his official religion from those darn liberal Episcopalians to the more palatable and conservative Baptists. Obama's working the liberal evangelicals with ...

The Nabob of Non-Negativism

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

It seems negative campaigning isn't working as well as it once was. Although all the major primary candidates indulged in it to some degree, maybe voters are finally living up to their calls for cleaner campaigning by actually turning off the most negative messages. That's not to say it's a ...

When Republican Voters Get The Whitehouse They Dream of, We All Have To Live With The Consequences

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

Turns out, Republican Faithful should have headed the old adage: Be careful what you wish for, you might get it. Indeed, with the new book promulgated by Scotty McMessage McClellan, we learn that leadership by faith over facts doesn't work. From the Republican "victories" at the polling stations and ...

Signorile To Hillary Supporters: Don’t Be Stupid

Thursday, June 5th, 2008

I'm baffled. I want to know what Barack Obama did to so many of the Hillary supporters such that they would choose to vote for John McCain in November rather than vote for the candidate that obviously has their best interest in mind. In the following video, Michelangelo Signorile confronts ...

It’s Time the Democrats Get Their Big Tent in Order

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

  As expected, yesterday's post about Hillary Clinton's campaign prompted considerable vitriol from ardent Hillary supporters. Though their complaints were numerous - and to my thinking mostly groundless - their main contention was that Hillary hadn't been given a chance to make her case for having 100% of the Michigan and ...

Hillary and the Clinton Campaign Bible

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

The fat lady supposedly sang on Saturday, but things ain't over as far as Hillary Clinton is concerned. The democratic big wigs held their meeting and decided to go Solomon-like on Michigan and Florida by splitting the difference between the two candidates. Considering they're the boneheads that set the whole confused ...

Yes To Tax Cuts & Loopholes - No To Fair Pay Legislation

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Understanding the dynamics of the November election isn't all that complex if one simply takes the time to draw some necessary comparisons. In many ways, the policies of the Bush administration have provided the essential contrast. With that as the backdrop, we ought to be able to make prudent political ...

Hillary Should Bow Out

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Personally, I don’t like to knock the distinguishe d Senator from New York and former First Lady when it comes to politics. And yet this post is all about politics and reality. The Democrat Party is united in one message, no more Bush! That is a concept that we all ...
