Two interesting columns that point out that the problem isn’t our politicians, the problem is us: Robert Samuelson writes in Real Clear Politics about how politicians are instantly punished if they dare to mention any real issues. For example, he discusses our aging population and increasing immigration, and the resulting ballooning demands on social services. […]
First, Carly Fiorina, a top advisor to the McCain campaign, told reporters this week that it was unfair that insurance companies cover Viagra but not birth control, suggesting that a McCain presidency would offer these women “a choice”.

They nail Rove, with the (satirical) quote: This is a major turnaround of great concern to the American voters. Obama […]

The town of Scottsdale, Virginia has your typical Fourth of July parade, but here’s an interesting juxtaposition. In the first photo is challenger Tom Perriello, the democratic nominee for Congress, riding on a float pulled by a bio-diesel fueled tractor: Two floats later came the incumbent, Republican Virgil Goode, being pulled by… a Hummer.

The liberal blogosphere was aflame with new accusations that Obama is trying to win the 2008 presidential election. Here are just a few of the blog quotes: Obama is “betraying the Democratic Party’s losing tradition.” “Barack Obama seems to be making a very calculated attempt to win over 270 electoral votes. He must be stopped.” “Any […]
