Campaign 2008

Where is Michelle Obama?

I realized today that we have not seen Michelle Obama for a L-O-N-G time. I noticed at Saddleback that the camera panned to Cindy McCain in the audience, which drew attnetion to the fact that it hadn't panned to Michelle. So I googled "Where is Michelle Obama?" and found that...

CNN: Obama's opposition to Born Alive Infant Protection Act

Obama has lied repeatedly about his oppostion to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act - a bill protecting babies born alive despite efforts to kill them in the womb from death by neglect/isolation. His vote on this is important because it shows that pro=abortion position is not nuanced but that...

Obama: abortion question "above my paygrade"

Obama last night reveals his true lack of ethical clarity: To see a person seeking to become the leader of the free world refuse to take leadership in order to keep his voting ducks in line - well, it's just pitiful. By contrast, McCain is decisive in his position -...

Obama plays the race card

This just disgusts me. It's not the Republicans who will use race to win the election - but the Obama camp which continues to deny anyone the opportunity to discuss issues. He's set himself up as untouchable. He whines over any criticism as "inappropriate." Who does he think he is?...

Obama - overreaching, inauthentic, manipulative

Pro-life feminists and liberals - can Obama hear their voices too?

Pictured above are Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, founding mothers of the women's suffrage movement, whose never-give-up passion for politics won women the right to vote. Did you know they were anti-abortion? In her publication The Revolution, Susan wrote: "Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love...

Is Hillary through? How about the Democrat Party?

Love this photo montage from Drudge: I won't lie. I will be very happy to see the Clintons finally shuffle off center stage, taking all their melodrama and tackiness with them: But, my goodness! Does the Democrat party have a death wish or something. I can't imagine Barak Obama winning...

Paglia says: women, don't vote for Hillary

Obama's true colors: on Pennsylvania

Obama - who claims he wants to unite America - speaks one way to Pennsylvanians and another way about them. Wonder what the working class people who showed up on his recent Keystone State "Road to Change" bus tour would think of this - his follow-up analysis of them when...

My call from Chelsea

Wow. We got a phone call from Chelsea Clinton last night. The pre-recorded kind, of course. Wondering where that came from as Tripp and I are registered Republicans. Maybe because I am on Planned Parenthood's mailing list - after all these years. While at first I sent back their stuff,...

Campaign 2008: Wouldn't it be nice to have a REAL choice?

Hillary and Obama - inauthentic, deeply flawed candidates

Of course, one wonders why the Mainstream media is suddenly waking up and doing investigative reporting..... Maybe they just wanted to get the public's mind off the Obama scandal. In case you've been sleeping the past week (I was at Mount Hermon so somewhat out of the loop myself),...

Louis Farrakhan endorses Obama

I wrote last month that Obamarama seems more like a cult than a political campaign. He's been drawing crowds up to 17,000 in venues filled with a religious feeling like revival meetings and people fainting (being slain in the spirit?). This America's Messiah phenomenon should be disturbing to anyone who...
