A Bad New Year for Democrats

So, it seems that during this joyous time for Democrats, the party shows signs of its own fissures. Among his other duties both domestic and international, Barack Obama should add unifier of the Democrat party. No one else has stepped into that breach. If he wants to pass his stimulus/bailout/taxpayer relief bill quickly, the president elect needs to mediate these problems. Otherwise, Congress will stalemated and the Senate Democrats will be 3 votes down!

Choice Considered

Oprah, Hillary, and Sarah do not plow new ground. Each makes a choice based on standards and principles NOT based on how their choices will affect women as gender.
In the last 30 years, the visibility of women in U.S. popular and political culture has risen dramatically. As a grammar school student, I distinctly remember the [...]

Really? A controversy?

Jim Johnson, Barack Obama’s advisor leading the search for a vice presidential running mate, has been outed as a beneficiary of favorable loans from Countrywide Home Loans. This revelation follows months of Barack Obama making scathing speeches accusing Countrywide of creating the mortgage loan crisis.
According to FoxNews, this issue is a major controversy. Really? Barack [...]

The Democrat Plague: Foot in Mouth Speech

Senator Clinton now apologizes for any insult that may have inured from her analogy to former Senator Bobby Kennedy’s campaign during which Senator Kennedy murdered. Senator Clinton and Senator Obama spend quite abit of time apologizing for or excusing misstatements. Neither candidate appears to think before speaking. Senator Clinton’s apology however rings more in [...]

Media Always at Fault in Clinton Eyes

Just read on Politico.com that Senator and former President Clinton are now blaming the media for Hillary’s demise. This refrain sounds familiar. This weekend I dusted off “Blood Sport” by James Stewart, a book I’ve owned for 12 years but never actually read. Throughout former President Clinton’s political life, now Senator Clinton has continually blamed [...]

Hillarious Hillarian Tabulation

If you dislike the answer, then ask a different question. Senator Hillary Clinton launched her most recent new math campaign last week. This campaign asks a number of questions to repair the answer, not just one.
The DNC acknowledges only 2025 pledged delegates as the essential number to clinch the nomination as Democrat Presidential Candidate. That [...]

Full Disclosure, Now We See How This Works

Superdelegate Steven Ybarra finally reveals the truth of the superdelegate wooing. Ybarra demands, that’s right DEMANDS, a promise of $20 million for a Mexican-American voter registration program from either Senator Obama or Senator Clinton in exchange for his superdelegate vote.
Really, Mr. McGovern is that how you envisioned this process: the exchange of pork for delegate [...]

Pandering to Voters

Apparently, Senator McCain had to find a new way to pander for votes. Senator Clinton jumped on the summer gas tax holiday bandwagon, so McCain has decided to move closer to socialized health care. McCain’s plan would commit $7 billion (YES, BILLION) in federal funds under what he’s called a Guaranteed Health Access Plan and [...]

Obama and Wright Considered

Reverend Jeremiah Wright launched a personal p.r. campaign Friday with an interview by Bill Moyers. Talking Heads and Common-taters (yes, I meant to spell it that way) continue to pursue a line of inquiry which strenuously and vigorously assails Rev. Wright. At this point, I must agree with Rev. Wright, the issue is not about [...]
