That Nagging Question is Still Out There.

WorldNet Daily:
The Pennsylvania Democrat who has sued Sen. Barack Obama
demanding he prove his American citizenship – and therefore qualification to run for president – has confirmed he has a recording of a telephone call from the senator’s paternal grandmother confirming his birth in Kenya. The issue of Obama’s birthplace, which he states is Honolulu in 1961, has been raised enough times that his campaign website has posted an image purporting to be of his “Certification of Live Birth” from Hawaii. But Philip J. Berg, a former deputy attorney general for Pennsylvania, told the Michael Savage talk radio program tonight that[...]

Above Reproach

Sometimes it takes several days of events to unfold in order for me to put my thoughts in order and develop a coherent article. Such has been the case this week. I'm a pretty disciplined reader of the Wall Street Journal. It's not that I don't want to read other newspapers, but I only have so much time, need to read it for my profession anyway, and can get a liberal prospective from any other media outlet at any time. Sometimes, it helps to read the Journal editorials just so that I know I'm not crazy. I've been following the interesting events lately surrounding the current economic pounding the country is getting. I've commented[...]
TCR Endorsements: President

TCR Endorsements: President

Second Presidential debate in Nashville, Tennessee
The major candidates for President are considerably closer in their policies and philosophy than the overwhelming rhetoric may lead you to believe. For some, this really is a hard choice. It took a while for the conservative base of the Republican Party to get through the grieving process when it became apparent that John McCain was the nominee. The result of that process is a candidate who has managed to reconcile with the base by both making statements that fit the conservative agenda more adroitly (some would say McCain is not exactly honest in this regard), and the addition of a stronger conservative on the ticket in the person of Sarah Palin. McCain professes and hopefully holds to a more conservative leaning on some key social issues, but still tends toward a more liberal approach to fiscal policy. It is[...]
Spreading The Wealth: Is It Socialism?

Spreading The Wealth: Is It Socialism?

by

It's been an interesting week so far as reaction to the whole Joe The Plumber escapade has heightened people's awareness of Barack Obama's agenda. For the sake of full disclosure, and ensuring people don't accuse me of taking his words out of context, you can see the full transcript of the conversation between Obama and Joe here. I'm going to focus on one sentence that Obama said:
I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody.
One can argue a hundred different opinions on this topic, and there's been a lot of comments around how this is a Socialist agenda (and many consider this to be pretty obvious). However, the new argument from the Left is that there's nothing new here that make Obama's plans more Socialist than we are today. Or more Socialist than we have been for nearly 100 years. I received an email
Polling Data: To What End?

Polling Data: To What End?

by

The biggest fraud in this election appears to be the use of polling numbers to disorient and discourage (mostly) Republican voters. How many times have you heard three or four different sets of polling results in for the same state in the same time period? Keep an eye on the organizations providing the information. I doubt that any partisan organization is going to avoid showing numbers favorable to their candidate, but the largely liberal media is clearly having a heyday pushing numbers that just don't add up. Even this week here in Iowa, polling supposedly puts Obama 12 to 13 points ahead of McCain. So why was Obama planning to come to Iowa this week? (that[...]
Go Vote Now!

Go Vote Now!

by

If my experience tonight is any indication, we are in for record participation at the polls this year. Originally I thought to wait until Election Day, but personal matters have made it possible that I may be called out of town and miss the opportunity to vote. Two years ago, I voted early. At that time, one would go to the library, enter a small office, fill out an absentee ballot, and you're done. No wait, no pain. Fast forward to today. I voted early once again. And again I went to the library. I stood in line behind about 20 people. At the front of the line was a table with two poll workers each helping two people at a time fill out the forms for their absentee ballots. You could register here, although you needed[...]

Book For Soldiers: Still Need Your Help, Making Progress

Great news! Since a week ago when I last posted on this topic, Books For Soldiers has been able to raise another $4,000! Thank you for all you've done so far, including passing this word along to others! They still need another $13,500. The good news is, the organization's directors, who had given them until October 31 to raise a total of $70,000 ($56,500 raised so far) or face closing, have extended this[...]

Colin Powell Endorsement: Who Cares?

by

It's not exactly been a big mystery where the former Secretary of State was going with his own vote this year. And NBC was was certainly fairly confident that they knew what Power was going to say today when he gave his endorsement to Obama. I would tend to agree with Michelle Malkin when she states that this doesn't look like a mater of race, despite[...]
Radio Station Encouraged McCain-Palin Signs To Be Brought In For Hoax Dying Child

Radio Station Encouraged McCain-Palin Signs To Be Brought In For Hoax Dying Child

by

The TCR OJ award (for those that manage to avoid accountability) goes to KCJJ's Morning Show, yet another sign that we will put up with any kind of illegal behavior...
(Coralville, IA) – An Iowa City area radio talk show host has admitted that an on-air report of a dying child’s last wish to set the Guinness World Record for having the most McCain-Palin yard signs is untrue and claims it is a hoax. “Captain” Steve Soboroff and co-host Tommy Lang of KCJJ 1630-AM in Coralville began asking listeners last week to take McCain-Palin yard signs and bring them to the radio station for a dying child. They now admit there is no such child. Soboroff admitted the hoax when interviewed by KGAN-TV of Cedar Rapids, but said[...]
