TROOPERGATE: OCTOBER SURPRISE DELIVERED AS PROMISED

Well, Obamaton Hollis French and his lickspittle, Steven Branchflower, have delivered their troopergate “report” and it lives up to French’s promise to use the phony investigation to produce an October surprise:
For the reasons explained in section IV of this report, I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power.
Then, the report goes on to contradict itself:
Governor Palin’s firing of Commissioner […]

PROGRESSIVES FOR THE STATUS QUO

Phillip Klein points out an interesting development in the health care debate:
When it comes to health care, it’s actually conservatives who are offering change, and liberals who are offering more of the same failed policies (only on a much grander scale).
McCain’s health care plan calls for the elimination of the horribly inequitable and inefficient employer-based health […]

DEBATE: OBAMA REPEATS “HEALTH CARE TAX” LIE

A trademark lie that has been consistently promoted by the Obama-Biden campaign is that  John McCain will tax everyone’s health care benefits. Joe Biden said it during the recent VP debate, and Barack Obama repeated it in tonight’s Presidential debate:

Now, Sen. McCain has a different kind of approach. He says that he’s going to give […]

20 MILLION WILL LOSE THEIR COVERAGE?

Arguably, the most consistently successful stratagem ever devised by the Democrats is their perennial campaign to frighten the elderly into voting for them by claiming that Republicans want to do away with Social Security.
Every election, with the grim inevitability of Greek tragedy, “the party of Jefferson” deploys this canard. And it has been so successful […]

TROOPERGATE JUDGE IS A LEFTY JUDICIAL ACTIVIST

Well, it would appear that the Alaska Supreme Court will now have to do the job that Lefty judge Peter A. Michalski refused to do in the phony troopergate scandal:
The court accepted an emergency appeal late Friday filed by six Alaska lawmakers who claim the investigation is being manipulated to hurt Palin before Election Day on […]

HEALTH AFFAIRS: PROUD SOURCE OF BIDEN BS

Last week, Jean Hiebert-White, executive publisher of Health Affairs, took me to task for suggesting that her publication had devolved into just another media conduit for Democrat talking points.
Hiebert-White’s case isn’t helped by this post at the Health Affairs blog boasting that the barage of balderdash fired by Joe Biden during the VP debate included a phony stat from the very article I criticized:
In […]

VIDEO PROVING BIDEN LIED ABOUT COAL

Joe Biden lied in last night’s debate when he said, “My record for 25 years has supported clean coal technology.” The last comment he makes to the young lady in the following video is: “No coal plants here in America.” This is the “rope line” comment that Palin called him on:

One of the problems with being a congenital liar is […]

DEBATE: BIDEN REPEATS LIE ABOUT MCCAIN’S HEALTH PLAN

Recently, I pointed out Barack Obama’s habit of lying about John McCain’s health care plan. His favorite whopper is that McCain is going to tax everyone’s health benefits, and Joe Biden repeated that lie during the VP debate:

He taxes as income every one of you out there, every one of you listening who has a health care plan […]

VP DEBATE: MEET THE MODERATOR

Tomorrow, there will be a debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. The following clip is the “moderator” of that debate plugging her new book,  The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama:

For anyone who still believes Gwen Ifill is going to be a fair “moderator,” watch the obvious anger on her face as she describes Palin’s comments […]

HISTORICAL IGNORANCE, HOLY WARS & GOD

As it happens, I’m not very religious. I do, however, respect those for  whom religion is important. And, as any informed observer knows, this group includes many of our greatest leaders—-past and present.
On the other hand, I have nothing but contempt for people who combine smugness, faux-secularism, and historical ignorance. As the following video demonstrates, this group includes Charlie Gibson:

What […]
