GOP War On Obama? No, Dems Fiddling While Rome Burns
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyTheoretical political commentator and part time trigger* moonbat Andrew Sullivan daily dishes his warped reality upon the blogosphere with the vaguely identifiable impersonation of a journalist to continued, inexplicable notoriety. Yesterday in a post titled "Gregg Was Pwned," in which he posited that Judd Gregg's hand was forced by a Republican policy of "total warfare" on Sullivan's precious, he dropped this gem:I have to say even I am a little taken aback by the force of the Republican assault. Even in a downturn as swift and alarming as this one, even after an election that clearly favored ...
Mac Attack: Obama 'Dangerous!'
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe McCain campaign, on the heels of Sarah Palin's "Joe McCarthy" tour on Saturday, has released a new ad that brings the GOP candidate's last ditch strategy into full relief: The Boogieman. The new ad is called "Dangerous," and it is as dishonest as the rest of McCain's ads. ANNCR: Who is Barack Obama? He says our troops in Afghanistan are BARACK OBAMA: "... just air-raiding villages and killing civilians." ANNCR: How dishonorable. Congressional liberals voted repeatedly to cut off funding to our active troops. Increasing the risk on their lives. How dangerous. Obama and Congressional ...
McCain: Release the Hounds!
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWhat else is John McCain supposed to do? He can't win on the issues. He can't win using gimmicks. His only choice is to try to slash and burn. To strike fear in the hearts of the American electorate. Hey, when even Karl Rove declares that the Republican is about to lose the race, you know that said Republican will be getting busy with some Karl Rove tactics to try to cook up some panic. And so, this is how the final month of the campaign will play out. Like a faint, fading echo, McCain's promises to rise above politics as usual will be drowned out by the increasingly absurd, desperate howls ...
Daniel and Noah, Not Alex
By Caleb Howe - Politics DailyLast week, MoveOn debuted a general election ad titled "Not Alex," in which a young liberal mother is tearfully terrified her toddler might one day be conscripted into the Hundred Years War by the still-surviving head of John McCain, Dictator for Life of the post Obamalyptic nightmare of the future. OK, that might be a slight exaggeration. Suffice it to say, the worried mom seems a little confused about a number of facts. Hot Air's Allahpundit said it best: "... mom here hasn't yet grasped that (a) President McCain won't be setting Iraq policy for the next 18 years, let alone the next ...
McCain Flack: Terror Attack Would Help Mac
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: The Obama campaign released this statement last night, via email: "Barack Obama welcomes a debate about terrorism with John McCain, who has fully supported the Bush policies that have taken our eye off of al Qaeda, failed to bring Osama bin Laden to justice, and made us less safe. The fact that John McCain's top advisor says that a terrorist attack on American soil would be a 'big advantage' for their political campaign is a complete disgrace, and is exactly the kind of politics that needs to change. Barack Obama will turn the page on these failed policies and this cynical and divisive ...
Politics of Fear
By Dave - Politics DailyUh-oh! Looks like some of Obama's ardent supporters (Moveon.org) are still using the "Politics of Fear&qutot; This despite Obama saying quite clearly that we should not use fear to score political points. Or maybe that's just fear of terrorists. Fear of Republicans is apparently quite alright.Hotair, from whence I was tipped to the moveon ad, has a good response for the worried mom: mom here hasn't yet grasped that (a) President McCain won't be setting Iraq policy for the next 18 years, let alone the next hundred, (b) MoveOn's candidate of choice has himself been dropping some dark hints ...
Bubba in Dittoland: Clinton Does Limbaugh
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe Atlantic's Andrew Sullivan points out that, on the day of the Texas Primary, former President Bill Clinton was a guest on Rush Limbaugh's radio show.You may have missed it - almost everyone missed it - but Bill Clinton was on Rush Limbaugh's show the day of the Texas primary. You can hear the radio here. Limbaugh himself was sick that day, apparently, but he had already urged Republicans to cross over to keep Hillary Clinton in the race. Bill saw an opening - and went there. Now just wrap your mind around this: the Clintons were happy to support a cynical, partisan Republican campaign to ...
3 AM Girl Is An Obama Girl Now
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyNothing blunts the effect of a political ad quite like one of its stars supporting your opponent. It turns out the little girl in Hillary Clinton's "3 am" ad is all growed-up now and supporting Barack Obama. From Veracifier: Like deep-fried Oreos, this is delicious, but is it good for you? Do you care? And did you all catch the irony of the girl's name, vis a vis The Political Machine? Let's kick this around real quick. ...
Clinton Handing Presidency to McCain
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyUpdate: This is a really good conversation we're having. Keep checking the end of the post, I will continue to respond there. I check these a few times a day. Update 2: Keep the conversation going here, but check this out to see how right I was. It became oh, so clear to me this morning. The Democrats are going to lose an unlosable election. Unbelievable. Hillary Clinton will be the instrument of their defeat this time, but it's really the same thing we've come to expect from these guys and gals time after time. The Democratic Party that I grew up admiring is dead, it has been since 1980. ...
