DUers having hissy fits

Folks, this is the most outrageous thing I’ve read this election. A conservative group that owns TV outlets that reach into nearly a quarter of the nation’s homes is FORCING its local stations to PREEMPT ITS REGULAR PRIME-TIME COVERAGE, just days before the election, to air a film attacking Kerry’s military record. I won’t even […]

I Have a Plan

How many times did Kerry say “I have a plan?” 12. The word “plan?” 36. How many times did he explain one? Zero. The man had a chance to destroy W on the environment. Not a win/lose type issue, but, nonetheless, a chance to really get Bush. But, instead: KERRY: Boy, to listen to that […]

Post Debate

There is lots to say, but, it all comes down to Bush has a plan, and he tells us what it is. Kerry has a plan, and doesn’t tell us. Bush, hands down winner. Substance and style. Period. Morning Update: Kerry is obviously a slick debater, and moves around subjects. But he rarely answers the […]

Senator Gone

Seems like it wasn’t Edwards’ home town paper, the Raleigh News and Observer, who coined the phrase “Senator Gone.” It was: coined by The Pilot, the weekly newspaper of Southern Pines, in the southeastern edge of Moore County. Edwards grew up in the Moore County town of Robbins, about 20 miles north. The Pilot, with […]

Cheney/Gone Talley

My final thoughts on the debate: Cheney killed Senator Gone on foreign issues, and beat him 6-4 on the domestic issues. I do not adhere to what many of the talking heads are saying, that Edwards won on the domestic stuff. Edwards gave the talking points, but it wasn’t flowing. Cheney was gruff and level […]

Ceding Iran to the Europeans

Quick live blog. Edwards talks about ceding responsibility to the Europeans for the Iranian nuclear danger. So, European countries are ok to help us in Iraq, but not capable to deal with Iran? Why would we want countries to who cannot deal with non combat toughness to help with combat? And sanctions? They have worked […]

A Conversation with a Lefty

I had an interesting conversation with a Lefty this morning on a forum. Revolved around “what has Kerry done in his Senate years.” It started out as saying that Kerry had done nothing. I replied: JFK jr has lots of accomplishments. Ranked the most liberal senator in the senate.Voted against every major weapons system. Voted […]

Welcome to the Newest Member of the Neocon Family!

That would be John Forbes Heinz-Kerry. William Dafire thinks he is. As the Democratic Whoopee Brigade hailed Senator Kerry’s edge in debating technique, nobody noticed his foreign policy sea change. On both military tactics and grand strategy, the newest neoconservative announced doctrines more hawkish than President Bush. First, on war-fighting in Iraq: Hard-liners criticized the […]

Florida disenfranchisement (or is it stupidity)

Our Lefty friends our pontificating on Florida voters being disenfranchised. However, this same article that they are using for their complaints states: Thousands of Floridians who think they’re registered to vote could be turned away at the polls Nov. 2 because their voter registration forms weren’t completely filled out, officials said Friday. (Emphasis mine) If […]

The Global Test

Go here for the Kerry’s Global Test. Hat tip to Instapundit for finding it at Transterrestrial Musings. As for me: We’re sorry, but your score of -2900 is not sufficiently high to justify your imperialistic foreign adventure. You will be billed for this test, and you may take it again, by pressing the “Repeat Test” […]
