Last I checked it wasn’t Obama they had picked

I love how Ed Morrissey’s latest post at Hotair on the NY Times and Obama starts:
The New York Times editorial board went to bed with a virgin and woke up with a … well, a pro, in milder terms, or so they seem to imply in today’s unhappy missive. 
Last I checked, the NYT editorial board [...]

Why only them?

Hotair had a post today about 1215 troops re-enlisting today.
Why only them? Why do these 1215 troops bear more of the burden of defending the country than most other citizens? Why will some of their families suffer more than the rest of us?
You know, this is just like the universal health care debate, transposed. We [...]

YES WE CAN!

Yes we can! We’ve made it! For all those stressful night, how refreshing to read Hot Air write:
Face it, you’re sad. I’m sad too.
 I’m not sad. Are you?
I’m glad we are going to move out of the primaries and into the general election. Next stop, the VP picks…
Like many bloggers, I like Jim Webb… Also, [...]

McCain open to government control on drug prices… (the end of the free market!)

I love the drug reimportation question. Are you for buying drugs from foreign countries? McCain was asked about that today:
Matt Lewis, Townhall: It’s easier to sell liberal ideas as opposed to free-market solutions. How do they plan to do the latter, and what about drug importation? — Fundamental difference of putting government in charge rather [...]

The limited free market

Hot Air complimented McCain on his free market view with respect to Ethanol:
It’s an essentially agnostic point of view on ethanol itself, but it’s the proper conservative response. If ethanol can succeed in a level marketplace, then it should continue. If not — and there are plenty of reasons to suspect it won’t — then [...]

Where does Mary Katharine Ham find her stats?

During her latest appearance on O’Reilly’s show, MKH said that the endorsment of Obama by Michael Moore was a bad thing, because the “credulous super liberal latte drinker that love Michael Moore are the Obama base”, where as the blue collar democrats dislike Michael Moore. Hot air asks…
Does Michael Moore’s endorsement do anything for Obama [...]

Misusing McCain’s POW experience

The LA TIMES had a recent article that had the following title:

John McCain gets tax-free disability pension
The disclosure of the Navy benefit for injuries incurred as a Vietnam POW may raise fitness questions.
I don’t particularly want to discuss the article, but I think there is a point to be made here. Personally, I think that [...]

Why can’t I get access to the same health care as McCain?

Today, McCain was asked the following:
STEPHANOPOULOS: One of the points Mrs. Edwards made in the Wall Street Journal, she said that your whole life, you had government health care. You were the son of a Naval officer, a Naval officer, now a member of Congress. And her point is, why shouldn’t every American be able [...]

Did you see the little tears down their eyes?

Hotair as a clip with David Axelrod of Barack Obama’s campaign going against Hillary Clinton’s new chief strategist Geoff Garin. Ed Morrissey comments:
Both campaigns have conducted negative advertising, and for both strategists to cry about it on national TV would embarrass anyone — except maybe a Democrat.
You know, I watched that clip and didn’t see [...]

You can’t have it both ways

After the 100 years ‘misquote’, Team McCain charges that Obama is distorting McCain once again…
Via Conservative Punk. For a change, this one has nothing to do with spending 100 years in Iraq. Team Maverick is irate, for good reason as you’ll see, but what I think we’re watching here is a strategy starting to take [...]
