It’s been a tough couple of days for the Speaker of the House.
Cindy Sheehan has secured the signatures which will qualify her to compete against the Speaker in her upcoming re-election bid.
Now that could be quite interesting to watch. Not that I expect Ms. Sheehan to to a serious threat [...]
Obama-mania is in full swing, and between catching up on reading and trying to decipher the real from the fiction, my head is virtually swimming.
Frankly, I don’t give a whit if the Senator visited the wounded troops in Germany as in my mind it is his loss not theirs.
There is nothing [...]
Andrea Mitchell interviews General Petraeus.
The General wastes no time in making his positions crystal clear..now only if the media would listen.
While the Democrats attempt to jockey for position to take credit for us “winning” in Iraq, (we all know it had to be that pressure they put on the President), their steady drumbeat [...]
Will the real mood in the room please stand up?
On CBS’ “Early Show” former Clinton chair Terry McAuliffe said there was “a great feeling in the room” at the Mayflower Hotel, added: “I love Barack Obama.”
ABC’s “Good Morning America” said there was “serious tension in the room” during Thursday’s meeting, but Stephanopoulos said Obama [...]
Michael Reagan posts what I consider to be one of the finest pieces on Haditha written to date.
It may be simple in its explanations, but it is concise in its facts which is refreshing on its face:
You’d hardly know it if you relied on the mainstream media, but the government’s case against the Haditha Marines [...]
A must read “Letter to the Candidates” from Sgt. Hook.
HT:Lone Wolf at Blackfive where he writes:
Sgt. Hook has a Letter to the Candidates that should go to every politician, not just those running. It is well worth reading, and well worth sharing. It also echoes a message that I was asked to send by multiple [...]
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 [...]
I guess being a politician is becoming a less desirable position to hold, in this country.
Mississippi Republican Rep. Charles W. “Chip” Pickering Jr. announced Thursday that he will not seek re-election in 2008, making him the latest veteran House Republican to call it quits since the August recess began.
Pickering disclosed his decision not to seek [...]
Speaks for itself.
Aug. 12 (Bloomberg) — Mitt Romney, who won the Iowa Republican straw poll yesterday, said he “misspoke” when he suggested that his sons’ work on his presidential campaign was comparable to serving in the military in Iraq.
I misspoke,” the former Massachusetts governor said today on “Fox News Sunday.” “It’s not service to [...]
Speaks for itself.
Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani said Friday that he misspoke when he said he spent as much time, if not more, at ground zero exposed to the same health risks as workers combing the site after the Sept. 11 attacks.
“I think I could have said it better,” he told nationally syndicated radio [...]
Very interesting.
For the second time in as many weeks, a senior House Republican may have divulged classified information in the media.
In an opinion article published in the New York Post Thursday, Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., reported the top-secret budget for human spying had decreased — the type of detail normally kept under wraps for national [...]
It’s all about politics and it’s always been about politics. It doesn’t matter who is in power. When are the Democrats and the Republicans going to do something for the people who put them in power? Probably never. At least that’s my opinion.
As House Democrats prepare for a floor fight over [...]
I found this interesting editorial and thought I would share it with you.
DON’T be fooled by the harrumphing and tsk-ing and got cha-ing: Nobody in Washington actually cares all that much about the failure of the Iraqi government to meet its “political benchmarks,” which was the issue of the day in Washington yesterday.
Yes, it’s [...]
Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel has always been considered to be a liberal Republican, who has even discussed impeachment of President Bush.
I could never understand how a liberal Republican would win a Senate seat when he’s from a very conservative state.
There are even rumors he might join Mayor Michael Bloomburg of NYC in a third party [...]
Is it true? I don’t know. Does it have any importance? I don’t know that either.
It’s just an interesting story I found in the New Yorker.
The West Wing of the White House tends to have a funereal stillness, even in the best of times, which these are not. The President’s aides walk [...]
Diversity is one reason I read Roger Simon every day. When he chooses to write on politics he will praise or a take to task the right or the left. I could not let this article pass by without sharing, not because of politics but rather the take on being a politician [...]
