Obama…”the one”
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008McCain recently did an ad comparing Obama to Britnet Spears and Paris Hilton. This latest ad referred is to as ”The One” has got to be one of the funniest ads I have ever seen.
The Republicans have started a sarcasm type angle which I have to say I enjoy. The press loves Obama, and this effectively […]
Conservatives for Obama
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008The 2008 presidential campaign is turning out to be quite interesting. Personally, I think the underlying meanings for labels “Conservative” and “liberal” are become more and more obscure. Having said that, it’s always interesting to hear what non-partisan but strong ideologues are saying about the candidates…
Andrew Sullivan, conservative blogger for the Atlantic Monthly: “Obama’s story […]
You say you want a revolution?
Sunday, June 29th, 2008“well you know, we all want to change the world..”

Is it just me or did Hillary look a little defeated in the debate a few nights ago? She’s still swinging for sure and talking […]
So the USA is a Democracy after all…
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008Something I hear a lot lately, particularly among conservative thinkers, is that the USA is not a democracy…it is in fact a “representative republic” And sure enough, if you try to find the word “democracy” in the constitution, you’ll come up empty handed. You will find this: “”The United States shall guarantee to every State […]
The Iowa Caucus
Friday, January 4th, 2008I have to admit, I like politics. I don’t know why, I’m not much of a political person, and the debates and campaigning these days have all the entertainment value and credibility of Pro Wrestling. I think we are in an era of pop-politics..you know, where news reporters report on the candidates hair, or how […]
