Palin And Sexism In The Aftermath Of The Election

I have been ruminating on this issue for the last couple of days. I knew it was coming, but I wanted to see just how it played out.

Through A Democrat’s Eyes: Why McCain and Not Obama Part 3 – Character

In the third and final part of my series explaining why this Democrat is voting for McCain and not Obama, the discussion will center around issues of character, encompasing not only personal character but social policy beliefs as well.
Personal Character
This is a very simple subject to discuss when it comes to John McCain, but a [...]

Though A Democrat’s Eyes: Why McCain And Not Obama – Part 1: Foreign Policy

Let me start off this discussion with a preface.  I am, politically speaking, a dyed in the wool Democrat.  I cast my first ballot at the age of 18 for Bill Clinton and I have cast every single ballot since for a Democrat.  I voted for Gore and I voted for Kerry.
Not only have I [...]

Obama, Clinton and Edwards Speech Writer Leaving Democratic Party, Give Props To McCain

Excepts of the Article from The Daily Beast

Since I started writing speeches more than ten years ago, I have always believed in the Democratic Party. Not anymore. Not after the election of 2008. This transformation has been swift and complete and since I’m a woman writing in the election of 2008, “very emotional.”

At the end of the Democratic Primary season, this was the situation:
Popular Vote
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton: 17,857,446, (48.04%)
Senator Barack Obama: 17,584,649 (47.31%)
Pledged delegates
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton: 1,730.5 (39.17%)
Senator Barack Obama: 1,747.5 (39.55%)

Then, for no apparent good reason, in June Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosis decided THEY, not the delegates chosen by the [...]

USN&WR: Democrats Were Wrong On Fannie/Freddie; McCain Was Right

USN&WR
Seventeen. That’s how many times, according to this White House statement (hat tip Gateway Pundit), that the Bush administration has called for tighter regulation of the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Congress has cooperated only once. In spring 2007, as House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank likes to point out, the [...]

Palin As Xena… Cutting Thru The Dems

This article is so good and so complete that it is difficult to get everything it’s about into a snippet…  I highly recommend you just go read the whole thing, but I will provide a few little tidbits for you.

Palinmania has washed [...]

SC Dem Chair Says, “Her Biggest Qualification Is That She Has Not Had An Abortion”

Politico
South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate “ whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion.”
Seriously?  Who the hell put these people in charge?
That is a horrendously demeaning and vile comment.  And this person is not only a state chair [...]

Hillary Can’t Fix What Her Party Broke….

This is the best, most accurate and honest article I have read on the subject yet…
From Froma Harrop on RCP
…for Hillary’s angry backers, the issue is no longer what was done to her. It was about what was done to them.
Democrats had turned on fellow Democrats, and although the arrows flew in all directions, the [...]

Kentucky Delegates Bring Rules Challenge Against State DNC

Two dozen pledged delegates are bringing a rules challenge against the Kentucky state Democratic party.
The challenge alleges that the party asked one delegate to step down because of his sexual preference, and that a delegate pledged to Clinton was replaced by an ardent Obama supporter.

There are rumblings of these same challenges being brought [...]

HuffPo – Why Hillary’s Folks Won’t Quit

I have not been a fan of the Huffington Post during this election cycle.  The Huffington Post, along with DailyKos and DU, lead the charge in the online attack against Clinton, at least perceptually.
Since the end of the primaries, when the real numbers are coming in and critical votes came up, and Obama did not [...]

“Accountable America:” The Re-Education Express From Hell

Liberal Rapture has a fantastic article on a new organization called “Accountable America.” 
Liberal Rapture has the following to say about them…
A bunch of Obama whores named Accountable America is about to start a real s**tstorm. This group sent out a warning letter that, in essence, says that donors to the GOP will be dragged through [...]

This Is How DNC Officials Treat Concerned Democrats?

PUMApac has a log of emails from Super Delegates that were sent in response to the concerns of Democrats that contacted them.
It is pretty scary that a political party expecting votes would treat it’s voters like this.  And they wonder why we don’t wanna vote for them?

CONFIRMED – 15 SuperDelegates switching to Hillary per PUMA08.com

It has been confirmed by www.puma08.com that as many as 15 delegates are switching their vote to Hillary.
Only 175 delegates need to change their votes to oust Obama as nominee and install Hillary Clinton.  This would leave 160 to go!
This does not come as a surprise on the heels of reports that 8 have decided to switch [...]

DNC Getting Pushy And Sends Demand Letter To Hillraisers.

The DNC is getting worried.  The party is not uniting behind their hand picked choice they chose to shove down out throats…  The DNC’s fundraising is horrendously short of goals, and even with the “windfall” fundraising that Obama had in June, they are falling behind John McCain and the RNC.  And in a year that [...]

Pelosi Opposes Contempt of Congress Charges for Rove? Huh?

This meme was started by Pam Miles over at Afterdowningstreet…
I have firm confirmation that Nancy Pelosi is urging the Judiciary committee NOT to go forward with contempt against Rove.
Congressman John Conyers and the Judiciary staff are battling for it but this has become an infight among dems.
Time to burn up the phone lines.
Honestly, this is [...]
