Obama Changes his Mind about Money
The Washington Post was just one of several media outlets that broke the news about Barack Obama’s plans for funding his campaign for POTUS.
“Sen. Barack Obama has switched course on general-election funding, announcing this morning that he would reject public financing and raise every dime for the fall campaign on his own.”
“The announcement was widely [...]
Feinstein’s Stealth Amnesty & Primaries
I am gnashing my teeth as I write this. Diane Feinstein, the Democratic Senator from California, has gotten her amnesty bill attached to the supplemental funding bill for our military in Iraq. Wednesday the senate will vote whether to pass a bill that will allow a COMBINED number of more than 1.3 million illegal aliens [...]
Democrats Blast Bush for Comments!
President Bush just completed a two-day visit to Israel, to join in the 60th anniversary celebration of the founding of the Jewish state. He was warmly welcomed and received, and even got a standing ovation for his comments made to the Knesset, the Israeli parliament.
Those same comments brought a broadside of attacks from Democrats here in the [...]
Hillary WHOMPS Obama in WV!
Anyone who has watched the David Letterman show of late, has heard him talk about the never-ending campaign to the Presidential election. According to Letterman,
“The election is three years from now. After the USA primaries, then they go to Canada for the Canadian primaries, and then to Europe, for the European primaries.”
While that may be [...]
Democrats are in Trouble!
O.K. North Carolina and Indiana primaries are over. To the surprise of no one, John McCain won in both states. No REALLY! The only real contest remaining in the presidential race is on the Democrat’s side. And, as expected, Barack Obama won in North Carolina, while Hillary Clinton won (by a narrow margin) in Indiana.
Since I [...]
Obama: 'Trillion-dollar deficits for years to come'
President-elect Obama predicts "trillion-dollar deficits for years to come." "We're already looking at a trillion-dollar budget deficit or close to a trillion-dollar budget deficit, and that potentially we've got trillion-dollar deficits for years to come, even with the economic recovery that we are working on at this point," Obama said. The federal deficit was about $455 billion for the fiscal year that ended on Sept. 30, 2008. If the Democrats keep the deficits to a trillion-dollars a year t
Stimulus Insanity
Stimulus Insanity January 6th, 2009 by jack Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result. The feral government does not know how to do anything except spend, so a-spending they will go. But where will the money come from? As David Limbaugh points out in his article Are They All Democrats Now?: As the Heritage analysts point out, when government spends $1 billion on highways, for example, hiring road builders and purchasing road
McDaniel
He must have been present for the triangulation class they give Democrats in Arkansas…Tolbert does it again… Holmstrom also indicated the Attorney General’s office does not “anticipate objecting to a request to intervene by the Family Council.” Jerry Cox has previously stated that Family Council, the organization that sponsored Act 1, has “serious questions as to whether he’s (McDaniel) got a conflict of interest.”
Nightly Ramble:The Circus Speeds Up
Welcome, one and all to the most intense nightly read anywhere on the sphere, BitsBlog’s Nightly Ramble. Holy cow, is there ever a lot going on the last 48 hours around here. Lots of web traffic for lots of different reasons, and lots to talk about. I said a while ago that Obama winning meant we’d have no shortage of subjects to write to, and boy was I ever right. Let’s go: I see Andrew Cuomo is polling well above Caroline Kennedy, even among staunch Democrats, for Hillary Clinton’s Senate sea
Roland Burris Thrown Out Of Senate
And Burris will cry “racism” in 4 . . 3 . . 2 . . Oops, scratch that - he and his supporters are already claiming that the decision to remove him involved race. Break out the popcorn, kids. The Democrats are imploding, the Senate has turned into a circus, and Harry Reid [...]
McConnell Calls for State Loans as Part of Stimulus Plan
Not sure how this is going to fly with Democrats (read: it’s not), but Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) took to the chamber floor today and, in the middle of a long speech about the importance of bipartisan cooperation in confronting the sunken economy, suggested that the hundreds of billions of dollars expected to go to states as part of an enormous stimulus bill come in the form of loans. From McConnell’s prepared remarks: Congressional Democrats have talked about sending hund
GOP launch preemptive strike against tax increases
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger maintains he’ll veto the Democrats’ majority vote tax plan, but Republicans and the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association aren’t taking any chances.They and Chapman University Dean John Eastman filed a lawsuit today to block the plan, even though it hasn’t been signed into law or even reached the governor’s desk. For those of you who are confused (and believe me, it’s justified, this stuff is confusing) let’s review: The Democrats on Dec. 18 approved a $9.3 billion tax
Confirmation Hearing Watch
If you're interested in following the Senate's march of nominees for hearings and confirmations, two locations of note: 1. This New York Times piece that lays out the current schedule. 2. This CQPolitics.com blog that posts new hearing dates as they happen. Few of the nominees of interest to this blog -- i.e., those with foreign relations roles -- or much of any of the nominees, in fact, are expected to encounter any real resistance from Democrats who control Congress. But it's an oppo
Democrats and what they knew about ?torture?
The Wall Street Journal details how Democrats were in the loop the entire time regarding the CIA's covert antiterror interrogation programs: Beginning in 2002, Nancy Pelosi and other key Democrats (as well as Republicans) on the House and Senate Intelligence Committees were thoroughly, and repeatedly, briefed on the CIA's covert antiterror interrogation programs. They did nothing to stop such activities, when they weren't fully sanctioning them. If they now decide the tactics they heard abou
