Resident Hack

It's an old joke built around more than just a grain of truth. The definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result. In this case, Congress is readying another stimulus package, and expecting it to work. This' [...]

The Chambliss- Martin race for the US Senate is starting to tighten up. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has recently dumped over a half million dollars in to the campaign of Democrat Jim Martin. Unfortunately, Chambliss' seat is now seen close enough that the Democrats' [...]

I occasionally read the local Indian news paper online and one of the topics for this week was

Everyone who deserves to vote should have the right to vote, it is every citizen's inalienable right to do so. But there are some unethical and criminal types who seem to think it's okay to vote multiple times to ensure their particular [...]

It's another bad day for ACORN- this time a rather public outing of an attempt to register Mickey Mouse to vote in the State of Florida.
I'm all for ensuring that citizens have ballot access- but this shows the corruption that seeped into this particular organization. ACORN has always [...]

A piece in the Politico pointed out some disagreements within the Obama camp over his economic policy. Specifically, Obama has incorporated a plan to include a 90 day foreclosure moratorium into his policy. The problem is that the campaign issued a statement stating that such a moratorium would [...]

There has been a lot of Saxby bashing lately- from the left and the right. The facts are, he probably doesn’t deserve the beating he is getting. Here are some things to think of over the next 3 weeks

I can think of 500,000 reasons why I will not vote for Obama in November!
There are 1.3 million womb babies killed in the US each year. There would be at least 500,000 more killed during an Obama presidency. He has already promised Planned Parenthood [...]

Usually, I stick to the rules that a political blog should adhere to. Today, I'm going to go off subject and share a story from 25 years ago. It's been on my mind quite a bit lately. 25 is one of those round numbers that people celebrate, or [...]

Let’s see where I start. McCain’s unwillingness to shake Barrack Obama’s hand…or Sarah Palin showing up to numerous function sponsored by a political party that wants Alaska to be a separate country! I’ll start with McCain who has a great plan to buy all of America’s [...]

This piece in the Washington Times says it all.
In a nutshell- Obama once again prioritized his election to the presidency as being more important that the lives of those serving in the military. To Obama the election was more important than the lives of innocent Iraqi's. [...]

I recently saw an ad posted by Vets for Freedom. It stated:
Obama skipped 45% of Senate votes...
...but voted against funding our troops.
Wow- I knew this was going to be ugly, but really- 45%? No wonder he didn't want to go back to Washington to work on the bailout [...]

It seems that more than hard core conservatives like Sarah Palin. The latest Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll shows that since the VP debate, the gap between Obama and McCain has shrunk to 3%. There is a 2.8% margin of error. Obama had an 8 point lead before the VP [...]

The ratings are in, and I believe this bodes well for McCain Palin. Since people already know who Joe Biden in, this was a true coming out for Sarah Palin. Her strong improvement should be a boon for the newly resurgent McCain Campaign.

As I watched last nights debate I noticed what card players would call a "tell" that Joe Biden is prone too. If you watch him closely, Look at his mouth. He is always lying when his lips move.

A quick shot at last night’s Biden-Plain debate:

You have to give it to Gwen Ifel- not because you respect her as a journalist, but because she has more gumption than Hillary. More Audacity than Obama. More nerve than a snooty french maitre d'. She has, as they say, brass cajones.

One of these have been published every two years, like clockwork. Every election cycle, someone in the mainstream media publishes a obituary for the GOP. Much to liberals consternation, the GOP still exists.

I've finally been convinced. There is no liberal bias in media. There are plenty of neutral media personalities out there, and it's nice to see a non-biased moderator facilitate the vice-presidential debate. I mean Gwen Ifel just wrote a book. It was a political book, so that certainly [...]

My congressman, Lynn Westmorland released the following statement in regards to the bailout.

I too agree with Senator McCain, though maybe not as much as Senator Obama seemingly does. Obama voiced his agreement with Senator McCain a startlingly high nine times. I’ve been watching presidential debates since 1976- and never have I seen such naked pandering. Why should Obama provide details [...]
As early as the 20th, Yahoo news was reporting that Republicans had warned the Democrats not to add superflous spending to the bailout bill. Their own Presidential candidate warned them not to add extra spending measures. Natuarally, the Democrats added the following provision- the legislation [...]
