President ’08
The old Warrior still has some fight left in him. No one can doubt John McCain’s commitment to his country or his belief in his ideals. He speaks with conviction, a conviction fostered and formed throughout a life of service to his country and that was strengthened–even as his body weakened–in a dank cell in…
On the recent Republican party behavior: I fight to restore the pride and principles of our party. We were elected to change Washington, and we let Washington change us. We lost the trust of the American people when some Republicans gave in to the temptations of corruption. We lost their trust when rather than reform…
Like the majority of Americans, and to quote John Mellencamp (who’d not appreciate it, I’m sure), “I was born in a small town” and I was raised by small-town parents, grew up with small-town people and married a small-town gal.

I wish I could find an old political cartoon I recall from the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court hearing days which showed Ted Kennedy as the plantation master talking about how blacks weren’t allowed off the left-wing plantation.

Some excerpts: On her experience as a public servant: “I had the privilege of…
Why the ferocious reaction by both the Left and the MSM to the Palin nomination? The conventional wisdom is that it is sexism, a variation on what Hillary experienced during the Democratic primaries. That is certainly part of the explanation. When have you ever heard male candidates, such as Obama, asked about how they will…
Regular readers know how I voted on this one (h/t Instapundit).
A review of Sarah Palin’s administrative orders (what many other states call “executive orders”) shows action taken on a range of statewide issues. In two years as Governor of Alaska, she has implemented policies in areas ranging from healthcare reform to housing policy to mental health reform to energy production. Here are the highlights. Very…
