The Liberals' Spending Delusions and the 2010 Elections
Tweet Share on Facebook October 26, 2010 Comment (5)The churn building toward Election Day is achieving a kind of cannibalistic feeding frenzy as liberal pundits, Democratic strategists, and MoveOn activists try to spin the public’s coming rejection of the Obama agenda. It’s not that the White House and Democratic Congress tried to cram left-wing policies down the esophagus of a center-right nation; it’s that they didn’t cram hard enough.

NPR Shouldn't Have Fired Juan Williams, But Its CEO Instead
Tweet Share on Facebook October 22, 2010 Comment (40)I’m going to go out on a limb here, and I hope U.S. News will not give me the boot for expressing a clear opinion, but I think Vivian Schiller should be fired. You remember her. She’s the CEO of NPR, the one who suggested very publicly--to a room full of journalists and television cameras--that Juan Williams, the Fox News and (now former) NPR commentator might be, at worst, a little mentally unstable and, at best, lacking journalistic ethics.

Healthcare Arrogance Killing Democrats in 2010 Elections
Tweet Share on Facebook October 19, 2010 Comment (7)It is rare that you can pinpoint an exact date as to when a politician threw her career away, but Sen.

In it, she endorsed the so-called “public option,” a gateway to government-run healthcare. Indeed, the Democratic Party’s near universal grip on federal seats in Arkansas will be wiped out in November due to the support of Arkansas congressional Democrats for Obamacare. In a sense, Arkansas stands as a perfect microcosm of the looming disaster awaiting Democrats at the polls.

Jerry Brown, Meg Whitman, 'Whore,' and NOW's Hypocrisy
Tweet Share on Facebook October 12, 2010 Comment (10)Evidently, all it takes to get the endorsement of the National Organization for Women (NOW) is to call women whores. Used to be that you’d at least have to sexually harass them. If only Stanley Kowalski had run for governor in Louisiana--how Terry O’Neill would have swooned.

Christine O'Donnell's 'Witch' Ad Shows She's Not Like Us
Tweet Share on Facebook October 6, 2010 Comment (19)To be or not to be. A witch. That is the question. Evidently. For Christine O’Donnell.
Huh. An interesting choice.

Obama's Healthcare Reform Is Actually Worse Than We Feared
Tweet Share on Facebook October 5, 2010 Comment (15)Remember Nancy Pelosi’s Let Them Eat Cake moment on healthcare reform? The one where she dismissed as ridiculous the idea that the public should know what was in the bill before it was passed into law?
