Suburban MD is GOTV.
That’s who is responsible for the story about Sen. Obama’s aunt, conveniently pushed the weekend before the election (not to much effect, honeslty). Murdoch is a private citizen and while his actions are despicable, they are within the laws from what we can see. But the actions of the immigration services in service of the [...]
Sad.
On Saturday, police were not releasing the identity of the suspect, or the exact location of the incident, because no arrest had been made and to ward off potential acts of retaliation. But Schey confirmed that the incident occurred in the vicinity of 4 Mile Road and Aberdeen Lane on the village’s east side.
Schey said [...]

The 44th president of the United States will take office in an uncertain and dangerous time for this country. The challenges we face both overseas and here at home are complex and unfamiliar, and the road ahead is likely to be very different from the road we have traveled to get here.

But John McCain is “proud” of his supporters.
After threats at several field offices around the state, Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign is asking labor unions to help provide volunteer security at 27 offices between now and Election Day.
The Obama campaign has 81 offices across the state. Of the 17 in Philadelphia, they want security at six, [...]
There’s an interesting phenomenon I’ve noticed when the far right brings its arguments from the safe confines of the right wing blogosphere, Rush Limbaugh and the rest of right wing radio, and Fox News. It just looks dumb and the arguments fall apart. Conservatives are so used to the head-nod echo chamber where the stupidest [...]
I don’t do these fact check things because the campaign hires a big staff with far more time and resources and expertise than I have to do so, which you can see here. But this one was such a whiff I thought it was worth noting. This is basic stuff, the kind we who are [...]

U.S. hospitals and long-term care facilities annually flush millions of pounds of unused pharmaceuticals down the drain, pumping contaminants into America’s drinking water, according to an ongoing Associated Press investigation.
You dance with the bull, you’re gonna get gored.
Nikki Tinker tried to use a version of the southern strategy in the Tennessee Democratic primary. It’s the altar of hate politics that folks like Nixon, Pat Buchanan, Lee Atwater, and Karl Rove worship on. Appeal to people’s base instincts, play to their fears and prejudices. Time and again it has worked far too well, [...]

McQuain at Q and O:
Obama endorses reparations
I pointed out, yesterday, the latest in redistributionist schemes being cooked up ala “global warming”. Dale notes that the belief in a Democratic win seems to be bringing these sorts of ideas and potential claims to the fore as they line up for their hopeful piece of the pie.

Some states are turning down federal funding for sex ed because it requires abstinence only education. Which doesn’t work, never worked, and won’t work.

Bradley T. Kahle, 60, of Troutville, was one of five people arrested in last weekend’s sweep. He told undercover agents he hoped Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Obama would be killed if they were elected president, and that he would shoot judicial and law enforcement officials if he became terminally ill, according to an [...]
That’s what we’ll call the Clinton-Obama meeting Thursday night.
More proof.
This is for the ones who were shackled and not recognized as human.
This is for the ones who fought for the right to vote for all.
This is for the ones who died in defense of freedom.
This is for making “created equal” more real.
This is for Dr. King.
This is for the next generation.
This is for America.
That’s sort of beyond bitter.
I am bitter and I am clinging to my gun!

Preface this criticism with the knowledge I’ve had cordial interaction with 2 of TheNextRight’s founders, and while I wish them nothing but political fail, I welcome their addition to the blogosphere (at the very least as fodder for my eternal amusement).
That said, the site’s problem is the same as Redstate, Townhall, etc. They are a [...]
Big Brother?
According to a senior government official…”There exists a database of Americans, who, often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic, might be incarcerated. The database can identify and locate perceived ‘enemies of the state’ almost instantaneously.” … One knowledgeable source claims that 8 million [...]
Considering the kind of folks attending NRA events, this was probably a heck of a joke for them.
During a speech before the National Rifle Association convention Friday afternoon in Louisville, Kentucky, former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee — who has endorsed presumptive GOP nominee John McCain — joked that an unexpected offstage noise was Democrat [...]
Mississippi Democrat Travis Childers wins seat in a 62% Bush district.
That’s 3.
Three new Dems in blood red GOP districts since the year began. In two of those races they tried to tie the Dem to scary Barack Obama and his liberal pals. And it didn’t work.
Clearly this is good news for John McCain.
UPDATE: Here is [...]
The Economist responds to my post about how McCain’s trouble with the base is showing up in a 20% protest vote in the primaries. They don’t think it’s a problem, but if you look at the late 2004 Democratic primaries the only candidate getting a substantial vote other than Sen. Kerry is Sen. Edwards. But [...]
Democrat Don Cazayoux just won a seat held for 34 years by Republicans in Louisiana. They tried to connect him to Pelosi and Obama. He won by about 3%. There is one more democrat in the House.
Clearly this is good for John McCain.
Just thought about this. You know there’s a good shot that the crowd will boo Sen. Clinton’s piece, right? They’re not going to be wild about Obama or McCain much either, but as a long time pro-wrestling fan they’re not exactly the Clinton prime demo.

I’m not the only one who noticed. I visited the newly opened Newseum yesterday and while I was overall quite satisfied by the experience, the video presentation on bias was quite unbalanced. The only watchdog organization represented was the conservative AIM and only the issue of a conservative bias in the media was explored. NBC’s [...]
