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.

McCain’s manuvering of the judicial nominations is a slap in the face to Republicans and a knife in the back of both President Bush and Frist. His back room dealings, and frankly Frist’s lack of leadership in even accepting this “agreement” takes away from the Senate Republicans the option of getting rid of the […]

Wes Vernon has an excellent piece on The Record of ‘Moderate’ Republicans and their recent efforts to take over the GOP. Those like the Gubenator, Whitman, Lugar, McCain want to see the GOP move to the left toward that mythical ‘center’ the media is always refering to. Any of these fools who believe the GOP […]

The “red states” aren’t only after your hide but the hide of anyone standing against doing the right thing for the country.

After an all-star performance at the convention the Gubenator has used his momentum to show how much of a RINO he really is. I hope you Kalifornians didn’t want to buy a .50 caliber rifle because now you cannot. The amount of hype in this is extraordinary as these big .50 BMG rifles […]

It’s about time someone questioned McCain’s presence in the Republican party, McCain being the RINO that he is.
Hastert Lectures McCain on War, Sacrifice
Especially considering his complicity Communist Vietnam’s Slaughter of Christians and similiar issues.

After the President endorsed Specter Specter is distancing himself from President Bush.
“I think it’s very important to focus on what President Bush wants,” said Sen. Arlen Specter, the liberal Republican from Pennsylvania.
To all you conservatives who think you can befriend an liberal and not get bitten on the backside by it, think again.

The New American is running a piece on the many problems with No Child Left Behind. Supporting this was one of a few major gaffs made by President Bush and the article clearly spells out why.
But the other notion the article spells out though does not say outright is that the NEA, the […]

And speaking of traitors, after letting it be known he’d like to the the Democratic VP for Kerry McCain is further showing he is not a Republican or Conservative.

Yes, granting China Most Favored Nation trade status was a great idea!. Not…. It appears Red China has been taking business lessons from Microsoft.
