The Politico’s Kenneth P. Vogel and Alexander Burns are surely going to earn an expletive laden call from the White House for publishing this story
(Politico) Democrats have seized on Republicans as the party of unlimited secret money.
The only problem: so are Democrats.
In recent days, Obama released an ad blasting “secretive oil billionaires” for attacks on [...]
Mitt Romney’s taxes: An Australian perspective
Posted on January 28, 2012 - Filed Under Elections, Mitt Romney, News, Newt Gingrich, Republicans, Taxes | Comments Off
Let’s face it. The two-year-long process leading to the inauguration of an American president has more in common with Madison Avenue and Sunset Boulevard than Pennsylvania Avenue, so we should not be surprised or shocked. But it is downright bizarre to see one Republican candidate tearing into another Republican candidate for not paying enough tax. [...]

A nasty one for the food Fascists (aka food snobs)
WE DON’T know how many burgers they made, but the other numbers are big enough. McDonald’s rang up record sales of $US27 billion ($25.6 billion) in 33,510 restaurants worldwide last year, an increase of 12 per cent, turning a profit of $US5.5 billion from the [...]
Mosley v Google censorship battle
Posted on January 28, 2012 - Filed Under 1st Amendment, Activist Judges, Anti-free speech, News | Comments Off
We read:
“Google has removed hundreds of web pages relating to former motorsport boss Max Mosley’s sex life from its search results index, Britain’s Leveson Inquiry on press standards has heard.
But the internet giant said it dealt with requests for material to be excluded on a country-by-country basis, meaning articles and videos might remain accessible on [...]
Heavy criticism for an academic who said those who display the Australian flag are likely to be racist

I think criticism of her is justified. She did apparently use the term “racist”, which is very inflammatory. Many people would see it as including Hitler-type behaviour and she had no evidence that the people she described would endorse such behaviour.
There are many possible gradations of opinion about race-related matters. [...]
Romney on Blind Trusts: “Age Old Ruse”
Posted on January 27, 2012 - Filed Under Debate, Elections, Mitt Romney, News, Politics As Usual | Comments Off
In last night’s debate it was brought up that Romney had stock in Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac among other controversial investments. He told the audience that his stock was not picked by him and it was taken care of through a blind trust. Hands clean? Well, not quite. Here is [...]

Why? Because “There’s no compelling scientific argument for drastic action to ‘decarbonize’ the world’s economy.” After a few paragraphs describing how not every scientist is a Warmist, and the numbers who are opting out of previous held beliefs that Mankind is mostly or solely at fault, we get to (h/t Climate Depot)

Narcissistic (And Incompetent) President Wants Second Term “Badly”

Quite obviously, there has to be a bit of narcissism in any person who wants to run for the presidency. Yet, with Barack Obama, everything seems to be all about himself. Does anyone get the feeling that Obama wants to be president to help anyone, to be a good steward of the United States as [...]

The gauzy puffery that the Old Media slathers upon the Occupy Wall Street movement has helped keep most Americans in the dark about how nasty, how violent, how outrageous, and even how incredibly lacking in integrity this movement is. On the conservative blogs the truth is well known, of course, but the [...]
Video of Newt Bashing Reagan Highly Edited
Posted on January 26, 2012 - Filed Under Bald-face lies, Elections, Fraud/misrepresentation, News, Newt Gingrich, Revisionism, Video | Comments Off
Thanks to Dan Riehl for this.
There’s a short excerpt of a 1988 C-SPAN video purportedly showing Newt Gingrich bashing Reagan when talking about how Bush, Sr. should run. As I suspected, it’s edited to give a false impression. What you don’t see is immediately after when Gingrich praises Reaganism and the Reagan platform. If you [...]
Drudge and Right Media Go After Newt

Wow! Take a look at Mitt Romney supporter Matt Drudge’s site today and you’ll see an onslaught of links bashing Newt Gingrich. I’m not the only one who noticed either.
It’s as if the conservative media over the past 24 hours decided Gingrich is for real, and they need to come clean [...]

This apparently caused a bit of a kerfuffle
(Washington Times) Fighting to curry favor with Florida’s large pool of Hispanic voters, Newt Gingrich on Wednesday called for a guest-worker program for most illegal immigrants, but his campaign could not say whether those people would be on a path to citizenship – the key question in the [...]

Obama is not particularly happy when people write bad things about him, because he is the anointed one. He’s the only one that can say bad things about people and/or throw them under the bus. Everyone else is just supposed to sit there and take it when Obama bad mouths them (see SOTU 2010 when [...]

The Chicago Sun Times has received your message loud and clear, dear readers. As much as admitting that they are biased and they know it, the long-time Windy City staple has decided that hence forth it will no longer endorse candidates for political office.

Wow! Romney might want to go against the advisor, Norm Coleman. First of all this position will not be a popular one with the base. Second, it will add to the record of flip-flops that Romney already suffers from. Third, all the other candidates are promising they will do a full [...]
