Duh!

Democrats are trying to force Iraq to use its own oil money to pay for rebuilding Iraq- well duh! Here
I thought this is what the Republican promised us when we went into Iraq? Why are we paying this bill?
I think they should also have to foot the bill of us taking down their dictator [...]

Barr for President?

Congressman Bob Barr is considering running for President on the Libertarian Party line. He would be a welcome addition to the race.
Fox News has the good.

Is Obama Wright or Wrong?

The DRC has been silent on the controversy surrounding Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama and his spiritual mentor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Like most Americans I have been extremely interested to learn of Wright’s homiletical follies, his race baiting, his white bashing, his America denouncing, and his conspiracy theories. I am shocked to find [...]

New York’s The Incorruptible lost his head

Spitzer has fallen. A tyrant in the making will have no political future. Good riddance!
Still, I cannot help but following the story of Governor Spitizer’s tragic fall without feeling a deep sense of pity and even empathy.
Here are my scattered thoughts on the events:
1. Like Robespierre, Spitzer created [...]

Obama/Webb 2008

Now that Obama seems to have made short work of the Clinton machine it will soon be time to focus on a national campaign against John McCain.
Obama may not need my advice. He is a phenomenon the likes of which we have not seen since Reagan. My guess is that McCain’s [...]

A Conservative Environmental Hope?

Governor Mark Sanford would be a welcome addition to the Republican 2008 Presidential Ticket. A rock ribbed conservative, Sanford’s voting record as a congressman was nearly as fiscally conservative as Ron Paul’s (often they were the only nay votes).
One of the few bright spots visible within the near future of the Right, Sanford [...]

Republicans are in Trouble

Have you hear about the string of fainting women at the Obama rallies?
This guy is a rock star. His events are starting to look like great awakening rallies. At least no one is barking… yet.
Republicans better get rooting for Senator Clinton or preparing for the wilderness.

Conservatives for Obama?

One of the truly great intellectual conservatives, Jeffrey Hart (author of The Making of the Conservative Mind: National Review and its Times) has shocked conservatives and liberals alike with his endorsement of Barak Obama.
As the link to Andrew Sullivan suggests, Hart is a northeastern Tory. No friend of ideology, Hart often shocks [...]

My Kind of Conservative

While McCain marches on, Ron Paul picked up the endorsement of Arlo Guthrie. Guthrie said:
“Dr. Paul is the only candidate I know of who would have signed the Constitution of the United States had he been there, I’m with him, because he seems to be the only candidate who actually believes it has [...]

Rebuilding Camelot?

I am in Albany for Conservative Party’s Political Action Conference (CPPAC). Hope is last to die but folks know that 2008 looks dismal. It is interesting how many are sure that Hillary Clinton is THE Democrat candidate. I am hearing from thoughtful folks “in the know” that the Clintons set up Obama’s South [...]
