President ’08
I just deleted two identical comments — one each on the latest posts here and on Dust in the Light — peddling the conspiracy that Barack Obama is a packaged “product” of powerful corporations with Republican ties, with the objective of building a nuclear power industry across the nation. That may be the first political…
Mark Shea pens some gospel truth: 1:11 Blessed are those who Believe, for they shall say, “Yes We Can!” 1:12 Blessed are those who say, “Yes We Can!” for they shall audaciously Hope. 1:13 Blessed are those who Hope, for they shall speak of Change. 1:14 Blessed are those who speak of Change, for they…
On the connection of the pro-life position to the American founding…There are many of us across this country not into the pro-life movement because of the politics of it, but into the political world because we believe that being pro-life is one of the most important ways in which we affirm what our Founding Fathers’…
I was able to attend Governor Mike Huckabee’s Rhode Island press event last evening, immediately preceding his rally in Warwick. During the press conference, Russell J. Moore of the Warwick Beacon broke a chain of horserace and identity politics questions being asked by other reporters to — get this — ask an actual question about…
A few weeks ago, Dan Yorke brought one of his coworkers (a sports guy) into the studio to discuss his Massachusetts primary vote for Barack Obama. That coworker characterized himself as the only non-racist person he knew and sought to explain why it was appropriate to look at Obama and see only a black man…
Part of me says that one conventional liberal endorsing another isn’t really news. Still, given the history involved, the Chafee endorsement of Barack Obama for President is a legitimate news blip, if only for a brief moment. At yesterday’s John McCain rally in Warwick, Tom Shevlin of Rhode Island Report, MTV & the AP captured…
So former Senator Lincoln Chafee has endorsed Barack Obama, primarily, he says, because Obama (like Chafee himself) was against the Iraq War from the beginning. Can’t say anyone should be surprised. As the ProJo reported last week, Chafee was leaning this way for a while and he has a book coming out that is critical…
Dean Barnett of the Weekly Standard took in a recent Obama speech and noted that the lack of a teleprompter changed the effectiveness and substance of Obama’s typically soaring rhetoric: The results weren’t just interesting because they revealed Obama as a markedly inferior speaker without the Teleprompter. Obama’s supporters have had ample notice that the…
Mitt Romney has “suspended” his campaign (ie; he’s done, via Byron York): I disagree with Senator McCain on a number of issues, as you know. But I agree with him on doing whatever it takes to be successful in Iraq, on finding and executing Osama bin Laden, and on eliminating Al Qaeda and terror. If…
With John McCain’s lead in the campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination now looking nearly insurmountable, Tom Shevlin of RI Report and MTV has recorded an interview with one of Rhode Island’s earliest and biggest McCain supporters, House Minority Leader Robert Watson… Rep. Watson argues that Republicans, especially in New England, should support McCain because…
