Who is at fault for us not drilling for oil in our own land? Mostly it’s the Democrats in Congress and not just Obama.
In fact, I think McCain is against drilling in ANWR, but maybe he’ll see the light on that one too.
Here’s McCain’s latest ad on the prices of gas:

The New York Times has refused to publish an op-ed piece by Sen. John McCain which rebuts an op-ed piece written by Barack Obama and published in the Times the previous week.
ABC’s Rick Klein and Sara Just report: This is not the easiest week for John McCain to get equal time in the media - [...]

Barack has bounced around like a rubber ball on the Iraq war. He plans to meet with General Petraeus after refusing to meet with him one on one in Washington on his campaign trip to the Middle East and Europe, but he has stated he won’t change his position no matter what he hears [...]

The only thing I find fault with is a big thing. I wish Sen. McCain would stop showing his war scenes in every ad. By now everyone knows what he went through in Viet Nam and the Hanoi Hilton. Is it necessary to constantly introduce himself in every ad?

We recently had Senator Jim Jeffords of VT change from Republican to Independent, caucusing with the Democrats.
Joe Lieberman was forced to change to Independent from Democrat, caucusing with the Democrats, because he lost the Democratic primary and knew the people of CT would re-elect him.
Bob Barr has changed his registration from Republican, heading up the [...]

The wall has been hit.
This he said, he said, they said, she said election cycle has taken its toll.
Later will be soon enough (for me) to have the desire to read one more word about either of the two men who are the leading contenders for the big chair. Heck, it seems [...]

The following are the most recent national campaign ads the two presumptive presidential nominees have approved for distribution.
First, John McCain’s ad which began airing this past week:

Now Senator Obama’s ad which will begin airing on Friday:

Now, if you knew absolutely nothing about these two individuals would either of these ads sell you on their capacity [...]

This may be the first pledge Obama has broken but he’s not president yet. Usually they wait until elected to show their true colors.
In a web video to supporters — “the people who built this movement from the bottom up” — Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, announced this morning that he will not enter into [...]

Perhaps not so interesting in the sense that Barack Obama has added former Clinton aide Patti Solis Doyle to his staff but more intriguing as to the position she will assume:
FLINT, Mich.– The Obama campaign announced on Monday that it has chosen Patti Solis Doyle to a key general election post, making her the first [...]

When I read or hear a statement such as this:
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”
it just adds to the list of things which leave me less than inspired about our choices [...]

Some Jewish donors to the Democratic Party are wary of Barack Obama’s stand on Israel and are putting their money in the McCain campaign coffers now:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is attracting elite Jewish Democratic donors who backed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and are concerned about Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) stance toward Israel, say McCain [...]

Since I’m showing Hillary’s “concession” speech and her praises of Barack Obama, her mortal enemy until Saturday, here is John McCain’s first general election ad:

By now everyone knows Hillary Clinton has suspended her campaign and no link is necessary, although I’ve provided clips of her speech.
By suspending her campaign she can continue to raise money to replenish the Clintons’ private coffers. After all, he didn’t make all those speeches just to throw away the money.
As I see [...]

I must say it, even though it might be unpopular..I felt sorry for Barack Obama last night.
What a shame that his words had to be lost once again in the rhetoric (and plea for money) from one (at least at this writing) candidate.
Having watched all three speeches, I can only summarize this way:
John [...]

After searching my conscience about all three faulty candidates still in the race, I have decided to endorse John McCain for President of the United States.
You will find a link to his site on our sidebar, which will take you to his homepage where you will, hopefully, donate a couple of dollars in his quest [...]

Paul Aldrich reminds us why we should elect Hillary Clinton as our next President of the United States.
In this otherwise tedious election season, it is nice to have a good laugh.
Enjoy!

The Difference
John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were walking down a Washington DC street when they came upon a homeless man.
John McCain gave the man his business card and told him to come to his office for a job. He then took $20 out of his pocket and gave it to the man.
Hillary [...]

You can count on Democratic presidential candidates to haul out Medi-scare or Social Security scare tactics every presidential year.
While speaking to a group of people in an assisted living center (read senior citizens) Obama claimed John McCain would reduce their Social Security payments or cut back on their cost of living raises if elected.
Obama said [...]

While speaking to the Israeli Knesset yesterday President Bush made this remark:
“Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.
“We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American [...]

The Anchoress does it again.
You can be concerned about a path America is taking, but you cannot decide America “deserves” bad things. You can shudder at a million babies being aborted a year, but you also must take heart that there is an energetic faith-based opposition to abortion and euthanasia that is making [...]

When I see a headline like this at Drudge it literally sends chills up my spine:
SHOCK: 2/3 OF WHITES CITING RACE WON’T VOTE OBAMA IN GENERAL…
Not character, qualifications or simply not believing the man is capable of handling the presidency (for any number of reasons), but rather the color of one’s skin?
I have been [...]

This may be only the thoughts of one writer but when I read this paragraph (particularly the final sentence), it made me silently scream NO!
It’s called scorched earth. The Clintons are not accustomed to losing and it seems they’re going to make the Democratic party pay for not choosing her. This primary may end up [...]

While being cautious in their headline by using the word “possible,” the NYT offers a sensible assessment of the current state of not just the race for the nomination but that of the party of a whole on the Democrat side of the aisle:
Certainly, no one is expecting a couple with such political skills, an [...]

After the drubbing Hillary Clinton took last night in North Carolina and the too close for comfort win in Indiana for her, it appears even she recognizes now Obama will be the Democratic nominee for president.
She has cancelled all public appearances for Wednesday after lending her campaign another 6.4 million dollars. The question she [...]

An entertaining overview of the democratic race is what this video provides. Full of facts and laced with humor, it is well worth the few minutes it requires for viewing.
Enjoy!

If there is one thing this presidential campaign has convinced me of it is that we are a society of “bandwagon” individuals. This is not a criticism but what is one to think when you cannot visit many prominent websites nor read a major publication or view a news program without the name Wright [...]

Sorry , but I do not see the humor in this suggestion from former President Clinton:
Citing President Bush’s recent cameo appearance on NBC’s “Deal or No Deal,” former President Bill Clinton today suggested that his wife, Sen. Hillary Clinton, might want to appear on a network show, too, “like, I dunno, maybe ‘Wife Swap’ or [...]

Rush Limbaugh has many listeners who apparently follow him like sheep. He tells them to register as Democrats for the primaries in their states and then re-register as Republicans later. The reason is his “Operation Chaos” in which he hopes to keep the Democratic nomination in disarray that it will go to the [...]

For those who might be interested in following the primary results from the state of Pennsylvania, they will be available here beginning at 8pm EST.

What a powerful ad this is.
It really makes no difference which political campaign from which it emanates, but rather indicates how many would hope the political factions in this country should work towards the betterment of America.
