These are the people that McCain is categorically proud of

Last night at the final debate, Obama objected to people saying that he pals around with terrorists. McCain must have misunderstood, because it is Sarah Palin who has said that numerous times, but McCain’s response is interesting nonetheless: Let me just say categorically I’m proud of the people that come to our rallies. I’m not going […]

More sin in the sun

It was just two years ago that Republican Mark Foley resigned from Congress for sending improper sexual email and phone text messages to teenage male Congressional pages. Well, this is another Congressional district that keeps on giving. Foley was replaced by Democrat, Tim Mahoney, who is now running for reelection. Mahoney is a conservative who […]

Can McCain or anyone else back this up with one single example?

McCain must be learning from the Palin Playbook — ignore reality. But in the interest of fairness, can he, or anyone else, produce a single example to back up his claim that people at Obama rallies have called him a terrorist or a traitor? And why didn’t Dana Bash not challenge him on this?

Palin’s alternate reality where war is peace, black is white, and up is down

The Anchorage Daily News is astounded at Sarah Palin’s response to the Troopergate report: Sarah Palin’s reaction to the Legislature’s Troopergate report is an embarrassment to Alaskans and the nation.

You don’t say!

This morning in Virginia Beach: Sarah Palin: “Since he won’t say it on his own behalf, I’m gonna say it for my running mate here: There is only one man in this race who has ever really fought for you.” John McCain (taking the mic): “I’ve been fighting for this country since I was 17-years-old and […]

Don’t they know we have it recorded?

One of the things I really love is how the Internet has changed politics, but some people haven’t received the memo. Gone are the days when politicians and pundits could blithely contradict themselves, because now we can just look it up on on the innertubes and point out their hypocrisy. Glenn Greenwald points out a […]

John McCain admits he has no vision

After the post-convention Palin bounce, McCain’s poll numbers started dropping rapidly and are now at an all-time low according to polling site 538.com. So what’s a candidate to do other than go sharply negative? According to the Washington Post, McCain has virtually stopped running any positive ads in order to concentrate on slamming Obama. According […]

McCain, who has made fighting pork the centerpiece of his campaign, votes for pork

Yesterday, McCain voted for a bill containing hundreds of millions in earmarks (better known as pork barrel spending). Today, he suggested that Dubya should veto that bill — the same bill on which he voted yes. The bottom line — when the chips are down, McCain’s promises to change Washington by eliminating pork spending appears […]

Two-for-one hypocrisy

During the first presidential debate Friday night, McCain criticized Obama for being naive when he said that the US should be willing to go into Pakistan to take out terrorists. “If the United States has al Qaeda, bin Laden, top-level lieutenants in our sights, and Pakistan is unable or unwilling to act, then we should take them […]
