Mike Huckabee was my guy in the 2008 presidential election and it was pretty exciting to see him speak in person and to shake hands with the man afterward. It was also disappointing to see his chances end in Texas, a state that should have gone his way rather than ~60/40% McCain. Mike Huckabee’s new…

I.O.U.S.A. the Movie
To the extent that a slap in the face is ever something to seek out, the free, 30-minute version of I.O.U.S.A the Movie is a must-see. One excerpt has David Walker, Controller General of the United States, saying our current standard of living is unsustainable. Walker: We suffer from a fiscal cancer it is growing…
Nancy Pelosi’s Delusions and the Obama Presidency
Nancy Pelosi says that voters must not have understood what they were voting for in regard to Proposition 8. The San Franciso Chronicle reports that the Democratic Speaker of the House recently displayed an almost John Murtha-like condescension toward California voters after they voted to ban gay marriages in the state. What does this mean,…
Another Incumbent in Need of Recall Retains Seat
Thanks to the wisdom of Alaska’s voters, our second term-limits poster boy and convicted felon Ted Stevens will apparently be returning to the senate to start this fall’s lame-duck session. Stevens has held the office since 1968, making him the 7th longest-serving senator at the moment. One can only guess at what the state’s voters…
Incumbents in Need of Recall Retain Seats
Congressman John Murtha recently shot himself in the foot by calling his own constituents “racist” and “rednecks” while campaigning for Barack Obama in Pennsylvania. Despite being one of Congress’ Princes of Pork and his rather dismal view of his state’s citizens, NBC is now projecting that Murtha will retain his seat in the House of…
Should Everyone Vote? Really?
John Stossel says, “Let me be politically incorrect and say that maybe some people shouldn’t vote.” How dare he say such a thing?! But many Americans don’t know anything about the issues of the day or the candidates themselves beyond the “D” or “R” beside their names. Of what value is their opinion about government…
Obama’s Wealth Redistribution – He Likes It and We Like Him For It
Chris Coffey says, “Of course Senator Obama wants to redistribute wealth. The real story is that Republicans are still trying to convince voters of such an obvious point just one week before the election.” McCain and Palin can try as hard as they want to sell that can of Spam as Grade A Beef but…
Uber-Liberal Hypocrites Guillotine Bush
After all the left’s gnashing of teeth over comments allegedly made at a Republican presidential rally, the pic below shows the core belief of their far left fringe. A little over the top, no? Even if some moron did shout "Kill him!" about Obama at a Palin event, the elaborate death-contraption these Obama supporters constructed…
NYC Caves to Bloomberg
The NY Times says that the New York City Council has changed the city’s term limits law to allow Mayor Michael Bloomberg to seek – and undoubtedly win – a third term. After a spirited, emotional and at times raucous debate, the New York City Council voted, 29 to 22, on Thursday afternoon to extend…
Dividing America
An oft-repeated refrain is that Americans are more divided than ever before. Now David Neiwert says that Republican Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann should be censured for saying the media investigate members of Congress who hold anti-American views. True, Bachmann’s statement is not worthy of a Congresswoman. But there’s more to consider, as I discuss below. First,…
