This Political Junkie Has Crashed

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

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 [...]

What do Jimmy Dean, Elections And Western Movies Have In Common?

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

This parody of Jimmy Dean’s Big John was produced by the “Texans for John Cornyn”. touting the Senator’s campaign for re-election: HT:Hot Air

Rather enjoyable as campaign ads go I suppose, but even better is this video which is a tribute to a true “Big John.”

Just Another Night At The Races

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

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 [...]

Is Anyone Even Listening?

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Tuesday evening when I read that the GOP had lost another House seat in a traditionally Republican district in Mississippi, it set me to wondering how in the world the party digs themselves out of the hole they have created.
Karl Rove has a few ideas in this article published in the Wall Street Journal:
Why is [...]

A Billion Dollar Presidency?

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

When we consider the amount of cash that has been spent in recent elections, (local and otherwise) then the percentages below of returned illegal contributions could be considered relatively low.

While this WSJ emphasizes the Clinton campaign, it is clear from the chart that none of the current presidential candidates has escaped this problem.
And, [...]

How Low Will They Go?

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

Will Mrs. Clinton ask Ms. Ferraro to step down from her advisory campaign position for the following remarks?
Clinton campaign finance committee member, former vice presidential candidate, and former Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, D-NY, told the Daily Breeze of Torrance, Ca., that, “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And [...]

Why Are So Many Jews Still Democrats?

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

We all remember when Cynthia McKinney lost her congressional seat to another black woman. McKinney’s father came right out and said it was because of the J-E-W-S, Jooooos.
Now we have a congressional campaign in Tennessee where a Jewish man is the incumbent and the person running against him is an African American.
Take a look [...]

What’s old is new, over and over again…..

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Well, it’s Thursday and I have searched the news sites, read through the blogs I frequent and looked through the on-line news magazine articles offered.
Maybe it’s me, but I have found nothing which is not old, rehashed news laced with a new opinion here or there.
Seriously, how many ways can you say we [...]

Substance only… please

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

So Fred goes after Rudy. Rudy replies. Mitt is having problems of his own and John just doesn’t appear to be desirable to the voter.
The balance of the field in my opinion is either running for a vice presidential nod or entered the race in good faith, only to see their hopes dashed [...]

Ronald Reagan and one man from North Carolina

Monday, October 1st, 2007

It’s difficult to fathom that someone could work for fifty years in the political arena, be a vital player in major elections and not be a household word nationally. Well, Tom Ellis, appears to have managed to do just that.
Few people have had a chance to grasp the levers of history.
Tom Ellis saw his [...]
