Yet another example of why McCain didn’t win is the Dietary Supplement Regulatory Bill. McCain, a RINO on a good day, also stands as a touchstone on who in politics, especially Republican politics, got the message in 2009. Sadly at the national level few of them have as demonstrated by their rallying around […]
As a life long Hoosier I am yet again totally ashamed Senator Dick Lugar is a Hoosier. I’m doubly ashamed that he belongs to the Republican party.
The defense spending bill before the Senate contained an amendment to give state issued carry permits the same legal application as every other state issued legal document […]
Jeb Bush now counts his name among those “Republicans” stating it is time for the GOP to leave Reagan nostalgia behind. Sadly, my own Governor Mitch Daniels has also made such statements. I guess considering Bush Sr. and Reagan were not ideologically aligned (remember “voodoo economics”?) it should be no surprise that the Bush […]
It is no surprise to this Hoosier Republican that Senator Richard Lugar scored in the Top 10 Senate RINOs, tied with Senator John McCain at an ACU score of 63…
All I can say is don’t let the party platform you’ve ignored for your whole career hit you in the arse on the way out. Oh.. and take Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe with you…
I’d love to see 2009 be the year RINOs and those Republicans of convenience become extinct.
In case ya’ll wonder why the Republican base didn’t turn out strong for McCain here is another example of how a government headed by a RINO looks amazingly like the same mess a Democrat would make. Go figure.
If you still haven’t figured out why Republicans were lackluster in turning out for John McCain then it might be worth revisiting how his frequent opposition to his own party earned him the Maverick label.
Anyone who can so easily sacrifice free-market principles either didn’t have them to begin with, or didn’t understand. Looking back at W’s administration believe he had many principles - the ones he believed, and the ones he espoused. Obviously free-market principles were among the latter else this perfect opportunity for irrefutable proof that the […]
Yet another great example of why the base didn’t turn out for McCain.
Bill Clinton is becoming a bit less popular with the left in recent days as he says things about McCain. But that’s only the start…
On Thursday he told ABC’s Chris Cuomo that Democrats for years have been….
…resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was President to put some […]
From the Republican 2008 Platform…
We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself. We believe in the free market as the best tool to sustained prosperity and opportunity for all.
$700 Billion to bail […]
I find it very interesting that the AP article about the effort of a Conservative Group to kill Lieberman-Warner doesn’t mention anywhere that the original bill name was McCain-Lieberman. Are they holding that as an ace to use against McCain later? Or hoping that if McCain does win they’ll still get the bill they’re actually […]
I don’t tend to wear T-shirts with a message, and especially no political messages but I think I found one that I might wear, McCain 2008!.
In the legislative background noise over the immigration bills the New Federal Gun Control (HR 2640) is quietly moving from the House to the Senate. This bill moved through the House due to some Democrat slight of hand as the bill went from dead to being quietly passed by a voice vote in 3 hours. […]
It looks like the Republican incarnation of Howard Dean isn’t keeping up with his bid to be president. I’ve never made a secret of my views of McCain. Anyone a progressive says they could vote for is the wrong candidate for the Republican party else how are they any different that the Socialist Democrats? […]
I admit I never liked James Baker whether he was working for Reagan or Bush Sr. and I don’t like him as a Bush Jr. lacky either. So when you read about the panel on Iraq lead by James Baker it’s easy to see why, if you know me or read this site […]
The 100 presidents in waiting persist in showing off how disconnected they are from the American people. Tourism trumps energy. I wonder if they’ll still think so when no one can afford to be a tourist because they had to tank up this week? I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t […]
Speaking of anti-gun “republicans’ New York’s number 1 RINO is sueing several out of state gunshops after New York hired private investigators to conduct “straw purchase” stings in other states. Heck, they aren’t all even contiguous states! Since this is Federal law they’re dealing with I’m rather surprised New York has […]
It is hard to better explain my utter dislike of John McCain than George Will’s commentary on one of McCain’s recent radio appearances. If it’s McCain vs Clinton in 2008 it really won’t matter who wins because everyone else loses.
Slashing the budge by 0.05% is now “scandelous”. Who is calling it that, some New York Liberal? Nope, a RINO. And to top the incredibly small amount this is the amount taken off the annual increase…. not a decrease in what’s already being spent.
Of course if he means that its scandelous […]
Now that the rest of America’s problems have been solved Arlen Specter is having a hissy fit over the Eagle’s “ruined” season. Something about a guy named Terrell Owens… who ever he is
Still goes to show you what is considered important in America today and it saddens me. But it doesn’t surprise me. […]
The only thing worse than a RINO is a RINO talking about the image problems in the party they themselves created. There is no one on the face of the planet who has made the Republican party appear as fractured as John McCain himself.
But he is right that “we can recover”. Unfortunately […]
Life must be interesting for John McCain. In what 2008 run-up he’s been the ideological pinball bouncing from left to right to left in an effort to come off the paddles at the widest audience. And this weeks flipper bounce finds him opposing gay marriage in Arizona.
Next month he’ll support civil […]
Bloomberg’s business sense may be (or have been) OK but
this is flat out stupid.
In a show of my bi-partisanship I’m chalking up this Republican in the Liberal Madness category.
John McCain reinforced the Senate nickname “100 Presidents in Waiting” by acknowledging he “absolutely” wants to be President.
“Absolutely. I think every member of the Senate wants to be president.”
For those who need a map and flashlight, this revelation puts into perspective the knife sticking out of Frist’s back.
