So Barack is going to lower the taxes for the bottom 95% of the tax payers, of which over ½ do not even pay taxes (yes, the bottom 40% of all tax payers actually get tax refunds and have a negative tax payment) on the backs of the top 5% of tax payers who, according to the IRS pay 61% of all taxes. The middle class, after the 40% who get paid to be American, pay merely 2.99% of all taxes paid....
So now we have entered — or will, come January — the era of “bipartisanship,” the era of “transforming America,” the era of “change.” We’ll believe what Barack Obama and the new administration claims it seeks when Mr. Obama’s new attorney general frog-marches Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Henry Waxman — chief architects and enablers of the subprime mortgage...
WASHINGTON – Barack Obama’s aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, The Associated Press has learned. Zeituni Onyango, 56, referred to as “Aunti Zeituni” in Obama’s memoir, was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration...
So, there was a big to-do a couple of weeks back concerning the McCain campaign’s decision to kick Joe Klein off the campaign plane–presumably, because Klein has written not-so-flattering coverage of the campaign. Needless to say, this brought all sorts of scorn from the other side of the partisan divide. Wonder what the scornful will make of this: The Obama campaign has decided to...
If you’re expecting some hard-hitting advertising from Team McCain in the final few days before the election, this will disappoint. The entire ad consists of Barack Obama talking about the McCain-Lieberman bill on global warming, offering his support: Read More →
If Joe the Plumber were Jawad the Suspected Terrorist, civil-liberties activists would stampede the halls of Congress on his behalf. Liberal columnists would hyperventilate over the outrageous invasions of his privacy by Ohio state and local employees. The ACLU would demand the Big Brother snoopers’ heads. And Democratic leaders would convene immediate hearings and parade him around the...
After a long and careful consideration of all the implications and possible consequences of my actions today, I have decided to go through with this in the hope that our country can indeed be guided into the right direction. First, a little personal background… I am a female grad student in my 20’s, and a registered Democrat. During the primaries, I was a campaign worker for the Clinton candidacy....
A man was tired of having his McCain signs stolen, so he hooked up an electric fence power source to the sign, and a camera. A punk 9 year old kid, obviously brainwashed by his parents and probably an ACORN voter, got a “shock” when he trespassed into the yard. Read More →
Iraq isn’t the only place where the surge seems to be working. John McCain’s gains over the last five days are remaking the political landscape as Election Day approaches. The double-digit leads Barack Obama held last week have evaporated, as all three of the top tracking polls (the most current and reliable measurements out there) show McCain hot on Obama’s heels. Zogby had Obama...
Dishing from the McCain campaign trail with Judy Black, national co-chair of Women for McCain. Judy is traveling with her husband, McCain’s top advisor Charlie Black. We talked behind the scenes on the trail in the battleground states. Connie Hair: Tell me about the reaction you’re getting from women around the country. Judy Black: The women are so fired up. We’ve been going into the battleground...
