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 […]

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 […]

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?

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. Her response is either astoundingly ignorant or downright Orwellian. Palin’s response is the kind of political “big lie” that George Orwell warned against. War is […]

Hypocrisy is AIG going ahead with plans for a $440,000 executive retreat to a posh California resort (including $23,380 in spa treatments, plus golf outings and lavish hotel accommodations) one week after receiving a $85 Billion bailout from the government, which they argued they needed to keep from going bankrupt. But the icing on the cake? […]
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 […]
This was taped less than three months ago. What happened since then? UPDATE: On Tuesday, just before the second presidential debate, Cindy McCain said that Barack Obama has “waged the dirtiest campaign in American history”.

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.

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 […]

1. I’m going to be honest: I know a lot less about economics than I do about military and foreign policy issues. I still need to be educated. (Nov. 26, 2005, Wall Street Journal interview). 2. I’m glad whenever they cut interest rates, I wish interest rates were zero. (Oct. 9, 2007, Republican presidential debate). 3. […]

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 […]
