While John McCain is being tutored by Joe Lieberman on the difference between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, the Democrats are squandering their chances by extending their internecine squabbling so as to give the Republican candidate a free and open opportunity to coalesce his support and win the general election.
The media won’t say this, but here [...]

Barack Obama did something this week that has, to my recollection, not been done in American politics since the Lincoln – Douglas debates: he spoke to us as if we were adults.
To be sure, some of us are adults, and some of us are still infants. But it was refreshing that, faced with the incendiary [...]
Hillary: I Have A Dream Ticket

The Clinton campaign has yet again stooped to the lowest tactics and has taken another stab at Obama supporters with the always complicit media in tow. In hinting about a “dream ticket” with her at the top and Obama as Vice President, she is using a very subtle but underhanded tactic that is designed solely [...]

Anyone who has seen John McCain get angry needs to be afraid. Very afraid.
While those of us who have been even remotely influenced by Senator Clinton’s now famous “3:00Am” ad may be thinking about which candidate would best deal with a late night crisis, remember that what we are looking for is a character trait, [...]

McCain: When You Are a Hammer, Every Problem Looks Like a Nail

Today there was an small explosion in New York City near a military recruiting station. As I write this, police are investigating. Acts like these have happened many times as have other violent crimes in our large cities. Yet John McCain lost no time in characterizing this event as an “attack”. It is clear that, [...]
Hurricane Hillary: Katrina Was a Gentle Breeze By Comparison

Senator Clinton fear-mongered and dirty-tricked her way to popular vote wins in Texas and Ohio last night, aided and abetted by the media. I’m leaving out her win in Rhode Island because that was mostly conceded by the Obama campaign because of the high Catholic population there (a strong Clinton voting block) and the strong [...]
Media Does Penance For Obama

Not since Spiro T. Agnew’s attack on the media (penned by William Safire) calling them “nattering nabobs of negativism” in 1970 has the media caved in so unequivocally to a politician’s claim of unjust coverage.
In response to the Clinton campaign’s constant complaint of the press’ so-called Obama favoritism, the press started an “All Hillary, All [...]
Hillary Tested Under Crisis?

A few months after 9/11, I sent an urgent plea via email to Senator Hillary Clinton’s Office. It seems, a local news plane had buzzed Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant for twenty minutes and the U.S. government did nothing to stop it.
Indian Point is fifty miles north of New York City. The World [...]
Clinton’s Scorched Earth: Ad Nauseam

In 2006, The Huffington Post reported that the Republicans were preparing a “Daisy” ad against Barack Obama. Now Hillary Clinton has beaten them to it.
For those of us who may have doubted just how far the Clintons would go to win the primary, we now have the answer: They are willing to hand a finely [...]
