Why the F is no one freaking out that the first debate between McCain and Obama is in a FU’ing CHURCH? ok so why isn’t anyone even freaking out that Obama is engaging this thing at a megachurch? Seems so wrong to me.

In the video clip below, the pretend President, John McCain, who has sent a pretend delegation to Georgia, thus traitorously interfering with U.S. foreign policy, says that the Georgian-Russian War is the first serious international crisis since the end of the cold war. Let that sink in. Since 1990, in McCain’s mind, there have been […]

Took him long enough. For those who are unaware, Senator Ted Stevens, the longest serving Republican in the U.S. Senate, was indicted last month by a federal grand jury for filing false financial disclosure reports that withheld information about more than $250,000 in improvements to his home, paid for by a private oil services company.

American conservatives were so freaked out by the sight of it that they spent the next 30 […]

McCain’s VP Problem

Filed in National by pandora on August 15, 2008 • 18 Comments

With all the speculation surrounding Obama’s VP pick I haven’t been paying attention to McCain’s dilemma. And, boy does he have a problem. Correction: Problems. Romney? Out of the running when it comes to Evangelicals. Ridge? Pro-lifers don’t want him and NARAL warns that Ridge won’t help soften McCain’s stance on women’s rights. Talk about […]
