Double Standard of the Day

Sarah Palin is a dolt says Chris Matthews of MSNBC’s Hardball.  She looked into the camera during the debate and it made her look like a dolt. Just a few days earlier though, when Barak Obama looked into the camera to answer debate questions Matthews judged the moved as forceful and direct. A clear case […]

Gwen Ifill Seemed Fair

I posted a lengthy article about the appropriateness of Gwen Ifill serving as moderator for the VP debate. She has a real, not just apparent, conflict of interest with her new book lauding the “Age of Obama.” Liberals would never accept this conflict if the situation was reversed. Say if Rush Limbaugh were hosting a […]

The Blame Game

The Democrats have been denying that they are the primary cause of the Fannie and Freddie fiascos. Even Bill Clinton admits that there needed to be greater regulatory controls and key Dems consistently fought against them. Listen to Cal Thomas: When Speaker Nancy Pelosi took to the floor of the House on Monday to blame […]

Pelosi Allows Dems To Vote No

Why did 94 #Democrats vote against the bailout? Take a look at Bill Dyer’s analysis: I thought it was bad enough that House Speaker Nancy #Pelosi had made a deliberate decision not to make today’s vote on the Democrat’s economic stabilization bill a “party loyalty” vote in which the House Democratic leadership made absolutely clear […]

Democrats Kill Bailout

The bailout was killed by House Democrats. Yes, Democrats. Losing by a margin of 228-205, the measure only needed 12 members to change their minds. 95 Democrats voted against the bill. Quit blaming John McCain for failure to keep your majority, in the majority. Take a look at these articles – Bill Dyer at Townhall […]

How did they decide on $700B?

How did the Treasury Department arrive at a figure of $700 billion for the bailout? Surely it was based on careful analysis and a detailed methodology. Nope. They guessed. They just pulled a number out of thin air. They made it up. In fact, some of the most basic details, including the $700 billion figure […]

The Real Culprits In This Meltdown

I wrote a lengthy post on this top yesterday but Investor’s Business Daily has expanded and improved on my material. Big Government: Barack Obama and Democrats blame the historic financial turmoil on the market. But if it’s dysfunctional, Democrats during the Clinton years are a prime reason for it… [I]t was the Clinton administration, obsessed […]
