A comment on ABC’s “Last Week” made by top Barack Obama supporter Senator John Kerry was reduced to the soundbite “Senator Kerry claims that Senator Clinton’s universal healthcare plan is a ”non-starter”.
We think that his actual comment warrants further examination:
“Let me just tell you that Hillary Clinton’s plan in the United States Senate is a nonstarter, because it starts […]

At a time when a few partisans are banging the drum for my candidate to get out of the race it is apparent that this country needs her more than ever. Special interests are getting their hooks into so many, resentful power-hungry politicians are trying to steal the election and big media is trying to prop […]

The Democratic Party is sinking in quicksand. The more time that goes by without consensus on the allocation of Florida’s primary votes, the more ridiculous the party looks. There is no justification for not allocating votes the way they would have been had the primary not been moved up by the Florida’s Republican Legislature. Both candidate’s names were on the ballot, neither candidate […]

Barack Obama is a stickler for the rules.
Except when it comes to parking citations. While a student at Harvard Law school, Barack Obama received a total of 17 parking violations between 1988 and 1991, 15 of which went unpaid until January of 2007.  Most of these tickets were for parking at a bus stop, not […]

Senator Barack Obama has been welcomed by America’s mainstream media with open arms, due in part to a sincere desire in the hearts of a majority of Americans to get beyond race and move this country into a new era of understanding.  Sadly, I believe they have anointed the wrong person to take us there.
Whatever conciliatory words were spoken in […]

In an eye-opening portrait of Obama written by Ryan Lizza of the New Republic, Lizza examines Obama’s political roots.
 ” Every strain of black political thought seemed to converge in Chicago in the 1980s. It was the intellectual center of black nationalism, the base both for Jesse Jackson’s presidential campaigns and for Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of […]

As more tapes of Barack Obama’s vitriolic preacher Jeremiah Wright are released, Senator Obama’s chances of holding on to his lead in the race for the presidential nomination narrow.  Americans may not know if Obama shares the same level of anger at their country that Wright seems to feel, but my instinct says they don’t […]

Support for Obama Would Be Leap of Faith 
Senator Barack Obama’s campaign manager David Plouffe has called Hillary Clinton the “Most secretive politician in America.”
Perhaps he doesn’t know enough about Obama.
Despite Obama’s calls for reform from corporate corruption, he has waded into some mighty gray waters himself. When he purchased his faux-Georgian mansion in June of 1995, he did it with the help […]

I think it’s about time we voted for senators with breasts.  After all, we’ve been voting for boobs long enough.  ~Clarie Sargent, Arizona senatorial candidate
The idea that you can merchandise candidates for high office like breakfast cereal - that you can gather votes like box tops - is… the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.  […]

Obama camp’s behind-the-scene attempts to deny primary revotes
Wow. Barack Obama’s supporters in the Florida congress have now gone on record categorically opposing a new primary, a mail-in primary, or seating the Florida delegates as they voted in the first primary. What happened to Obama’s much-touted ability to “reach across party lines” for the good of the people?  Obama’s camp has been floating the […]
