Thy hypocrisy is stifling. I’ve seen liberals post about what great strategy Obama employed in opting out. Talk about a short memory.

Write this stuff down folks. Put it in a file. Save it to your hard drive. Whatever. It’ll be fun pulling it out in four years after Obama and friends have put this country in the dirt, when America will be desperate to chuck money at and vote for anyone or anything that doesn’t have a “D” by their name.

Why this treatment? Because Joe’s message is powerful and they need to defang it. Joe is the face of what’s wrong with Obama’s economic policy proposals.

The fact this private citizen expressed himself while the media happened to be recording is enough mandate to go digging through this guy’s private life and present it to the world.

McCain spoke to issues common sense and his conservative base has wanted him to bring up for weeks, and he won the debate by the standard that he made challenges Obama could not answer.

Don’t expect to see a lot of fireworks at the debate tonight.

If bringing up Wright is such a grave threat to civil society, how’d civil society survive the three-week orgy of media coverage of him back in March?

Hugh Hewitt pointed out that this is a question Obama needs asked and he needs to answer now.
Patrick Fitzgerald, the same prosecutor who investigated Scooter Libby, is hard at work getting to the bottom of top level Chicago politics. Rumors are flying, but we do know that Rezko is talking and things don’t look [...]

One of my favorite conservative bloggers, Dr. Bruce of Faith and Facts happened to say something in a post today I found myself in a bit of disagreement with:
I am praying that over 150,000,000 people will register and vote in this election season. The opportunity to vote is both a right and a privilege. [...]

Same thing when you apply for a any job. Even if you are well qualified for a job, they always ask for references before they hire you.

For these politicians, if the public has questions about their character they should come clear with no lies and explain themselves before they lay out their plan.

Now that John McCain is running for president in 2008, Vietnam experience is no longer a political issue…

If liberalism had an ideology that would sell – that people would embrace having thought it through, then liberals wouldn’t embarrass themselves with these double standards, the appeals to emotion, and the endless internal inconsistency and self contradictions that follow. If the media weren’t heavily biased the left would be called to account for their dishonesty and inconsistency.

…these people in the wishy washy, fence sitting, uninformed (yes, I said uninformed) middle are the ones who decide elections. Republicans and conservatives don’t, Democrats and liberals don’t, 3rd party wackos sure as hell don’t, the people who can live through at least a year of campaigning, primary season, conventions, with 24/7 cable and network news coverage, daily front page headlines in the paper, blogs, web sites, radio - these people who still haven’t picked a side are basically the ones who decide the elections….

Obama is preemtively countering all scrutiny of his past elbow rubbing with angry extremists, unrepentent terrorist bombers, and other radicals by launching a new ad and talking point campaign that goes something like: “we have to talk about the economy, and only the economy, because talking about anything else is just trying to change the subject and a distraction.”
