Gen. Wesley Clark says that McCain’s military record (which he praised) does not automatically make McCain the best candidate for president. The media, led by Fox News and the McCain campaign, goes wingnut claiming that Clark attacked McCain’s military service (even though he did not). The McCain campaign tries to blame Obama and attack his lack […]

Yesterday, McCain did a major reorganization of his campaign staff, the second such shake-up in a year. But what should be setting off warning bells is the people who are now in charge of his campaign. McCain elevated Steve Schmidt to full operational control. Schmidt is considered a pupil of Rove, and he is a […]
There are reports that McCain has been trying to distance himself from president Bush, because of Bush’s record-breaking unpopularity. But the only person less popular than Bush is his vice president, Dick Cheney. McCain hasn’t said much about Cheney recently, but if you go back to 2004, when McCain was campaigning for Bush, he called […]
President Bush is within striking distance of the all-time record of vacation days taken by a sitting president. Reagan’s record was 436, and with Bush starting a vacation today, he is sitting (and I do mean sitting) at 423. Can he do it? http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Daily_Show_salutes_Bush_presidential_vacation_0816.html What’s truly ironic about this is that on Tuesday, White House […]
Christopher Hitchens, who is unabashedly pro-war, and who has (in the past now) drawn a distinction between “extreme interrogation” techniques and “outright torture”, agreed to be waterboarded to show that it was not torture. In a turnaround that was hardly a surprise, Hitchens now says that waterboarding is definitely torture. This is despite the fact […]
Brad Reed at AlterNet has distilled the Bush presidency into its top 10 most disastrous and embarrassing events: 10: Bush Gets re-elected using the most negative campaign in history 9: Alberto Gonzales’ Congressional Testimony 8: North Korea Conducts a Nuclear Test 7: Colin Powell’s Bogus WMD Presentation at the U.N. 6: The Terri Schiavo Affair […]
Want to know why Republican congressmen and senators are dropping like flies? The Swing State Project has put together a “comprehensive compendium of Republican hubris, fuckups, and misfortunes”. They nickname it the “Year of Living Catastrophically”. It has not been a good two years for the GOP. Enjoy. http://www.swingstateproject.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=2303
If you ever wanted clear evidence of how bad our mainstream media has become, watch this: A simple video consisting first of Gen. Wesley Clark during an interview being asked about McCain. Followed by the media going absolutely rabid.
In USA Today, conservative idiot Jonah Goldberg attacks Obama’s patriotism (again) based on something Obama said. Well, um, except that Obama was repeating something that Reagan said during his inauguration speech. I’m just happy that conservatives are willing to hold Reagan to the same patriotic standards as they hold Democrats. It is worth reading the […]
In watching this extensive list of McCain’s flip-flops, I noticed that there are a few major ones that didn’t get mentioned. Should we watch for “McCain’s flip-flops, the mini-series” coming soon?
