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.... 

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... 

Republican John McCain, kicking off a cross-state bus tour aimed at keeping vote-rich Florida from swinging to the Democrats, on Thursday accused rival Barack Obama of saying “anything to get elected.”   The Arizona senator noted that Obama had added a work requirement to his proposal to grant a 10 percent universal mortgage credit. Obama aides said the campaign added the requirement two... 

Have the feeling Barack Obama gets more favorable coverage than John McCain? It’s not just a perception, it’s a reality, according to yet another study confirming media bias.   The right-of-center sector of the blogosphere has for months maintained that the mainstream media are “in the tank” for Obama. The observant bloggers were right. “Coverage of McCain has been heavily... 

TOWNHALL - Washington Post reporter Matthew Mosk, who I’ve criticized several times before on this blog, has found a doozy of a story about the Obama campaign. I wonder if they’ll actually publish anything about it or just give it the cursory acknowledgement on their website.   Apparently Mary Biskup’s credit card was charged $175,000 from the Obama campaign. She said she never donated... 

In a presidential election in which both candidates have promised to reach across party lines and bridge the divide that separates Democrats and Republicans, it increasingly appears that, if elected, one candidate may not have to.      Political insiders now see a plausible path to a historic Democratic majority in Congress — a filibuster-proof Democratic majority in the Senate and a reinforced... 

ABOARD “Straight Talk Air” (between New York and Miami) — Sen. John McCain would “absolutely” not compromise on Supreme Court nominations if elected and would continue to nominate strict constructionist judges if any of his Supreme Court nominations were defeated by a hostile Senate. McCain said that and much more to HUMAN EVENTS chief political correspondent John Gizzi in an exclusive... 

Dear Fellow American: We have just weeks to go before Election Day . . .  time is running short for us to avert a major disaster for our country. That disaster’s name is President Barack Obama. But this disaster can be averted. I’m confident about this — even though the slanted media are overstating Obama’s inevitability. But the numbers don’t lie. See Our New TV Ad:Obama’s... 

As a republican, it was disappointing to see Sarah Palin push the blame of the sub prime crises onto Wall Street. This was strictly political posturing to feed the American public what they want to believe. Sub prime lending began under President Clinton in the mid 1990’s when he endorsed a mandate to increase home  Read More →

If you were wondering how the Bush/Paulson financial bailout bill slipped past the Senate last night, the answer is all too familiar: too many senators signed onto this monstrosity after their pet pork was included. And what were among the emergencies that were included? This allegedly critical financial rescue bill is loaded down with tax breaks (or more precisely, extensions of current tax breaks)...
