My initial thoughts from tonight’s first post-Labor Day presidential GOP debate is that John McCain looked and sounded better than he has in years (and thus was the winner, hands down). The senator from Arizona had the spark that made him so attractive in 2000. Maybe it was the New Hampshire audience, maybe it was […]
In what could only be characterized as true political theatre, late this morning Arizona Senator John McCain took to the floor of the Senate to once again reiterate his support for President Bush’s failed policy in Iraq. At the same time word was being given out to the media that the McCain for President […]
And that doesn’t mean sad.
Interesting poll numbers coming out of the president’s home state indicate that the land of Bush and DeLay may have reached its limit on tolerating incompetence and failure in its elected officials. The non-partisan Texas Lyceum Poll indicates that New York Senator Hillary Clinton is in a virtual dead heat with […]
It’s been said that Arizona Senator and GOP presidential contender John McCain believes that if he had ten minutes with anyone, he could convince them that his stance on immigration is correct. After last night’s CPC, I think I even heard one of the commentators say “he thinks if he had 10 minutes alone […]
It’s getting better all the time… the title line from the Beatles’ “Getting Better” popped into my head last night as I watched the third in what is becoming a movable feast of Republican candidates seeking the party’s nomination for president (the Democrats apparently are opting for more of a packed lunch approach as they […]
I’ve been deluged lately by McCainiac emails suggesting to me that I should be more supportive of their chosen candidate’s aversion to government pork. Apparently they didn’t take too kindly to my post last week about being a little ticked at the McCain campaign for their less than easy to follow web links. […]
Somebody should explain to Charlie Black over at Team McCain that when a banner ad asks, “Outraged by Pork?” accompanied by the phrase, “Take the survey” that the click-thru should take you to the survey instead of landing you on the McCain home page.
I’ve gotten a couple emails from pissed off readers who said […]
If imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, John McCain, may want to reconsider who he imitates. Here is an excerpt of the text from today’s McCain announcement for president:
“We must also prepare, far better than we have, to respond quickly and effectively to another terrorist attack or natural calamity. When Americans […]
I just finished watching Arizona Senator John McCain’s official presidential campaign announcement speech from Portsmouth, New Hampshire and the McCain of 2000 is still missing in action. Touching on one of the speech’s themes, my feedback to the presidential hopeful is: “Senator I think you’re great, but what you said today was not good […]
Honesty is a rare commodity in politics. Americans like our politicians to “talk tough on the issues” as long as the issues aren’t tough on us. So when John McCain announced last week that he has “no Plan B” in mind when it comes to military strategy in Iraq, the media and that […]
