Obama and McCain answer the question - does evil exist?
August 18, 2008
On July 16, I asked someone - anyone - to ask Obama one question. Does evil exist? It took about one month, but Rick Warren - during his Faith Forum Saturday night - asked both Obama and McCain the question. It’s a valid question and one that many liberals try to weasel out of.
Of course, Obama provided a very thoughtful answer that did not answer the question. When asked the question if evil should be ignored, negotiated with, contained or defeated, Obama said we should confront it. We should confront it? What the heck does that mean? As far as I can tell, that could mean that we yell at them from across the courtyard - leave us alone!
Yeah, that will work wonders. Read more
New York Times Dives Deep Into Teleprompter News
July 6, 2008
Let’s talk about politicians and how the main stream media treats them for a moment or two. Obama has made some gaffes in front of big audiences and so has McCain. Obama is clearly very comfortable with a teleprompter and McCain is not. In general, Bush 42 is not comfortable in front of an audience at all, but from what I hear, he is quite coherent and comfortable speaking to small groups about policy issues; he makes his points and opinions very clear.
Why is it considered news when McCain can’t pronounce Lexington when reading from a teleprompter? Why is it not news when Obama just fumbles and fumbles when he’s off a teleprompter? Why the hell does this matter?
Wesley Clark Throws Obama Under the Bus
June 30, 2008
How else can you explain it? Four years ago, the Democrat elite were saying that only someone with prior military experience could bring the United States out of the at-war condition we were in. Of course Wesley Clark was one of those candidates, but as it turned out, John Kerry reported for duty and pretty much fell on his French-looking face.
Yesterday, Clark visited with Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation and tossed Obama under the bus. Clark inferred that McCain’s military experience - although noble - did not add up to the executive experience needed to be commander and chief. He went on to argue that being a senator and serving on the Senate’s Armed Services Committee for years does not qualify him either.
Just to clarify, Clark is supporting Barack Obama. Read more
McCain Plays Both Sides of the Fence
June 20, 2008
Were you one of those people looking for a conservative candidate late last year? I certainly was, and I was pretty certain that John McCain was not a conservative. To say that he got slammed in October could be an understatement.
McCain spent most of the fall preaching “comprehensive immigration reform” which included a border security program, guest worker program and of course, a path to citizenship for illegal aliens. Almost everyone called this amnesty even though he proposed that illegal aliens would have to pay “hefty fines” upwards of $1,000.
Like they would actually have to pay a dime. [eyes rolling]
Conservatives slammed him at every turn for his amnesty program. He relented; with his fingers crossed. Read more
Republicans Can Be Populists Too
April 16, 2008
Yes, they can. They are. They can be bigots and elitist too. We saw it with John McCain & Huckabee concerning the border and immigration issues. Michelle Malkin’s column just scratches the surface, politicians these days all seem to be pandering to special groups; they are populist candidates.
What can the government do for you today? Read more
