Given the respect I’ve shown Peggy Noonan in the past, even comparing her to the Greek goddess Athena, I decided to put aside the other posts I had planned for today and address instead her latest column.
Pondering the left’s animus against Joe the Plumber, how they help “the story alive by their rabid character assassination of a man who did nothing more than ask a question,” Ed Morrissey observes:
There is a stench of desperation surrounding this, as if they sense defeat coming from a moment of honesty from Obama about his [.
A critic of one candidate’s tax policy has tax lines. That candidate’s campaign treasurer (and his companies) has tax liens (via Patterico via Instapundit).
Once again I express amazement at what supposedly enlightened people know about Sarah Palin.
Here, you have a woman with a record of reform.
Just received word from from a reader that the Obama campaign is withdrawing from two Jewish debates:
Claiming they do not like recent RJC [Republican Jewish Coalition] advertisements, the Obama campaign has formally instructed all of its representatives to cancel their scheduled appearances with any representative of the RJC.
No sooner did Joe the Plumber become a folk hero for conservatives, articlating the Republican message on the economy and job creation better than our party’s presidential nominee, than he becomes subject to rabid attacks from the left.
I recall reading that up until the 1980 presidential campaign, Ronald Reagan gave many (most?) of his speeches off-the-cuff, with only a few 3″ by 5″ cards highlighting the main points he had wanted to hit.
Yesterday, to the question of whether Sarah Palin is Ronald Reagan, Glenn Reynolds answered in the negative:
Though Reagan was portrayed as an amiable dunce, he in fact spent many years working out his ideas before running for President.
Anticipating John McCain’s defeat (which I am not yet ready to concede), many, particularly on the left, contend that the conservative movement which enjoyed its heyday in the 1980s with Ronald Reagan’s Administration and in the 1990 with a Republican Congress, will finally come to an end.
I haven’t decided yet whether I’m going to watch tonight’s presidential debate. After last week’s snoozefest, I have far better uses for my time, especially given how far behind I am in a number of endeavors.
The folks at “No on 8″ have decided to take a different tack in opposing the ballot measure.
If people voted this year on which party’s general philosophy more closely matched their own view of government, John McCain would win in a walk while Republicans picked up seats in both Houses of Congress.
Yesterday while doing my cardio at the gym, I was subjected to another of Keith Olbermann’s rants on MSNBC.
Today, Bruce Carroll, Jr. the GayPatriot, celebrates his birthday!
Bruce, with much appreciation for your work in setting up this blog and wishing you all good things on this happy day!
One thing struck me when I briefly scanned an article on Madonna’s upcoming divorce from filmmaker Guy Ritchie.
Not even three years ago, I posted on the election of Stephen Harper as Prime Minister of Canada, ousting the liberal government of Paul Martin, a leader often at odds with President Bush.
I have a big project I’m working on in the real world that is taking up too much of my time for much posting until at least after Election Day.
Earlier this week, we conservatives were treated to lectures by the mainstream media about how angry we had become.
Two years ago at this time, you could not open up a newspaper or turn on a TV newscast without learning about the follies of then-recently disgraced (& then-recently) former Congressman Mark Foley.
It is amazing how ill-formed so many supposedly well-informed people are about Sarah Palin. Perhaps, that’s what comes from getting yours news from the New York Times and the Big Three TV networks.
