A Supreme Disgrace

June 26, 2008

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 8:24 am | Filed under Politics, 2008, Barack Obama, Law, News

By a 5-4 vote the US Supreme Court decided that imposing the death penalty for child rape was unconstitutional.  Look, I have no problem with people who object to the death penalty. I support it, but there are arguments to be made on each side that are perfectly valid, and on which good minds may […]

Left PO’ed At Obama For Support Of The Terrorist Surveillance Program

June 24, 2008

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 8:41 am | Filed under Politics, 2008, War On Terror, Foreign Policy, News

Barack Obama may be a lot of things, but he’s certainly not stupid.  After railing against it in the primaries, when his audience was the white mice running the Democrat party lab, now will vote in favor the Terrorist Surveillance Bill.  He said that he will try to remove the portions of the bill giving the telecoms […]

Sorry for the lack of posting. House settlement, brother’s wedding, moving in temporarily w/ in-laws and work are taking up much of my time now. Anyhow, George Carlin wa found dead today at the age of 71.
 Yes, he was a radical left-winger whose politics repulsed me. But he was a damn funny comedian who almost […]

At Least Some Dems Are Honest About Being Socialists

June 19, 2008

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 9:11 am | Filed under Politics, 2008, Barack Obama, Economy, Environment, News

In what might be shocking news to people who don’t pay attention to politics, yesterday Congressional Democrats called for the nationalization of oil refineries.
Said former Smails Award Winner (Oh, yeah, that thing) Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) said
We (the government) should own the refineries. Then we can control how much gets out into the market.
Which puts him […]

How Long Before Obama Tries Fighting Terrorism With A “Neighborhood Watch”?

June 18, 2008

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 11:31 pm | Filed under Politics, 2008, War On Terror, Barack Obama, Law, Foreign Policy

I ask that question because Barack Obama seems to ripping a page right out the failed 2004 playbook of John “Crushed” Kerry and Howard Dean.  Kerry, as I’m sure you all remember, showed his September 10th mentality by saying that the war on terror was best fought through a ”law enforcement” strategy, so much so that […]

How Bad are the Blossoming Dem Housing Scandals?

by Patrick Hynes @ 7:34 am | Filed under Politics, 2008, Barack Obama

… So bad even the New York Times feels compelled to cover them, though you would need to read the parenthetical notations after their names to know they are Democrats and not generic “senators.”
Here’s the bottom line: Three big shot Dems received sweetheart deals on their home loans:
Sen. Chris Dodd.
Sen. Kent Conrad.
Obama advisor Jim […]

Obama Gives A Terrific - And Substantive - Speech

June 15, 2008

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 10:07 pm | Filed under Politics, 2008, Culture, Barack Obama, News

Let’s give credit where it’s due. Barack Obama went to a black church today and gave a speech that decried the epidemic of fatherless homes in the black community. Obama, whose own father abandoned him as a young man railed in a blunt and direct way about the toll the problem has taken in a […]

Obama’ “Doughnut Hole” Inconsistency

by Bull Dog Pundit @ 1:33 pm | Filed under Politics, 2008, Barack Obama, Economy, Pensions/Social Security, News

No, I’m not talking about the “Doughnut Holes” that Hynes loves to eat. I’m talking about the “Doughnut holes” in Barack Obama’s plan to lift the income cap on the imposition of Social Security Taxes, and his, and the Democrats anger at the ”Doughnut Hole” in the Prescription Drug Plan passed in 2003.
Today Barack Obama outlined his […]

  The Boston Celtics will hoist their seventeenth NBA championship banner after last night's game six drubbing of their storied rivals the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics' 131-92 victory ends a decades long championship drought for the franchise and caps off one of the greatest single-season turn-arounds in sports history.

  I'll give John Edwards some credit.

Outside of the Edwards household is there anyone who seriously thought Obama would pick this guy, who would have lost his homestate Senate seat in 2004 had he not accepted The Crushed One's offer to be the ticket?
