The Republican 2012 Lineup

By Matt Knipple
            Now that the 2008 Presidential Election is over, it is time for us Republicans to look at who is going to unseat President Obama in 2012 (actually, I think this is very unlikely barring a massive meltdown by the new President).  Republicans have been frantically looking as to who will be our [...]

Is this the end for McCain?

By: Melissa Keller
November 17, 2008

With the 2008 election leaving its mark in history, it was no surprise that the voters’ reactions would be just as memorable. Whether it was joy or anger that made the tears rush down their faces, this was going to be a historical election no matter what. Although the last few [...]

“That one”… (you know, the black one)

A Polemical Essay by: That Girl
I’ll say this: I don’t think John McCain is racist. But he sure knows how to hang with the worst of them.
With a Bear Market currently mauling a little china shop known as the Global Financial System and McCain’s less than spectacular performance in demonstrating the urgency of [...]

I wish I could vote for her…

By Diego Del Campo

I’m proud of Sarah Palin. I wasn’t around in 1984 to see New York Rep. Geraldine Ferraro’s historic run for the vice presidency, and here we are 24 years later, and another woman is running for vice president. There’s no denying that McCain picking Palin as his veep was a game-changer: she [...]

The Last Month of Dirt, aka What Will Stick?

By: Jet Peterson

Now that we have reached the last month of the campaign season, the mud-slinging is increased.  The old claims and the old relations are being dug up to create a guilt by association. Barack Obama has been in associations with the domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. John McCain has associations with Keating. Both are [...]

Don’t Blink, Wink!

In Palin’s interview with Charlie Gibson, she said we must not blink when it comes to foreign affairs and issues of domestic security.

However, it appears that winking is just fine. 

Ok, Sarah. I understand that you have no idea what you are talking about and you are trying [...]

Playin’ the Palin Game

By Heather Ellerbrock
She is like Hurricane Katrina; loud, confident and will come into your house without even blinking an eye. She is Sarah Palin and for the last six weeks, we have all been caught up in Palin Maina. Her “popularity” is so intense that instead of hearing ‘Sarah Who?’ we are making jokes that [...]

The gloves are off……

 
 
Jean Gadberry
The fact that the McCain/Palin camp have decided to launch a huge negative campaign against Barack Obama’s character rather than the issues makes me wonder if the new polls have the Republican camp running scared.  In this clip, Sara Palin addresses Obama’s relationship with “domestic terrorists” in a speech she delivered in Carson, California on [...]

You can put lipstick on John McCain but…

An Appeal to Patience by: That Girl
I tell you, after watching and (at times) participating in the What-The-Eff-Are-We-Gonna-Do-Now freak-out session that defined the liberal base for the last two weeks, I’m completely exhausted. Lipstick on mammals and bridges to nowhere aside, the Palin pick had me and the whole world thinking, “Huh?” and wondering [...]

Playing to win: two weeks later

By Diego Del Campo

With the stakes high, and polls showing Barack Obama and John McCain in a dead heat, it was expected that each would make a “safe” VP choice, one that wouldn’t attract too much attention and wouldn’t detract too much from each campaign’s carefully crafted message. Barack Obama delivered, John McCain didn’t.
Whatever Obama [...]
