I was going to write a really long post today about the “Three People Who Would Win the White House for John McCain” but I decided not to. You’ve already been bombarded with plenty of stuff like that and you don’t need another blogger telling you why the whole Joe the Plumber incident has hurt [...]

It’s definitely time for a pre-election pick-me up, so how about a little red meat in the form of a few questions John McCain could ask Barack Obama before he is crowned President of the World on Tuesday? I’ll say that if any of our national media outlets had asked these questions in more than [...]

Don’t believe Obama’s “Bush killed the working people with his tax cuts for the rich” hype. Don’t believe it for a second.

John McCain, in Miami today: You may have noticed– there was a lot of talk about Senator Obama’s tax increases and Joe the Plumber. Last weekend, Senator Obama showed up in Joe’s driveway to ask for his vote, and Joe asked Senator Obama a tough question. I’m glad he did; I think Senator Obama could [...]

It’s no secret that I don’t like John McCain as a candidate for President. The closest I’ve ever come to really endorsing him was when he chose Sarah Palin as his running mate, but the way he and his team muzzled her swung me right back to the “nope” column. Up until today, I fully [...]

I couldn’t resist posting the bit from the debate last night where John McCain called Barack Obama “Senator Government”. The moment is about halfway in. The entire clip is worth watching, though, because it spells out the essential difference between Barack Obama and John McCain when it comes to the economy and your money. Barack [...]
