The GOP'll be working hard this week to convince the median, undecided voter that contrary to reality, McCain's economics are different than Bush's, and that Obama will raise taxes on almost everyone.
How can Republicans -- having failed so ignominiously at home and abroad over the past eight years -- recover? What can be done to save this party?
My information is that Karl Rove wanted Romney and pushed him. McCain pushed back -- he really wanted Lieberman, and that was completely out of the question. Palin is the result.
His persona, and the story he is telling, and the media narrative that frames and delivers it to us, all come straight from the movies. Unfortunately, this movie may end really, really badly.
Our nation's workers, battered by unfair global competition, stagnant wages, declining benefits, and poor employer compliance with labor laws, deserve a Department of Labor that lives up to its name.
The position Palin and others on the right have articulated gives every rapist the right to pick the mother of his child. That position is tantamount to a Rapist's Bill of Rights -- those are McCain-Palin's "family values."
I originally thought that Palin's choice would take the question of experience off the table in this race. Now I believe it will put that question back on the table -- in reverse.
It is comforting to know that any head of state who may have it in for us will have to deal with a woman who can pick up a gun and kill a duck as easily as -- say, picking up a gun and killing a deer.
When the post-mortems are written on the now diseased McCain campaign and -- more generally -- on the demise of the Reagan Era, the three top contributing factors of death will be listed as Katrina, Sarah, and Gustav.
I am tired of hearing those in our party say we should not stoop to the level of the Republicans. Well, I for one live in a world of reality. You fight fire with fire.
McCain's suggestion of a visit will waste precious hours when hours and minutes make all the difference. It's a complete disregard for the mission and the government professionals at all levels attempting to keep people safe.
John McCain, do you think women belong in the paid labor force? This might seem facetious or rhetorical, but it's a very serious, core question.
John McCain said he would pick the most qualified candidate for the job of vice-president. John McCain picked Sarah Palin. Why? Because John McCain believes Sarah Palin is the most qualified person in America for the job of vice-president.
