New presidential ads today as New York Times/CBS poll shows Obama-Biden with a 13-point lead when Bob Barr and Ralph Nader are included, but a 52-41 lead if the race is narrowed only to the Democrats and Republicans.
John McCain’s ad, entitled “Obama Praising McCain,” highlights Obama’s past praise for McCain’s on global climate change. Obama released two ads in Arizona, North Dakota and Georgia, and they highlight Obama’s change message andhit McCain over his economic policies.

The NY Post, the Dallas Morning News, and the Washington Times reporters have been thrown off Obama’s plane. They needed to “make room.” Interesting that all three recently backed McCain. Glamour Magazine, however, retains a seat. This is what we have to look forward to for four years. Arrogance in the extreme. A wolf-pack in shearling coats.
You will remember that just a few days ago the Obama campaign cut off that Orlando TV station when they didn’t like the reporter’s questions to Biden.
Camp Obama also has tried to get the Justice Dept. to investigate what they called “false ads.” That happened in Missouri and elsewhere. They also jammed a Chicago radio station’s phone lines to try and interrupt the station’s interview of a reporter who was investigating Ayers and the Woods and Annenberg foundations, etc.
And in Ohio, Democratic officials tried to dig up dirt on Joe the Plumber, who did nothing more than ask Obama a question when Obama did a “meet and greet” on Joe’s block.
Can you guys imagine what is going to happen to the press if Obama gets elected?
It’ll be “Bye-Bye Rush, Bye-Bye Hannity, Hello Insanity-I think I’m gonna cry”
Does thou jest? This new crowd, if they take over the White House, will be daily grist for the mill for at least four consecutive years. These guys would be bored to death with McCain’s simple logic.
You’re not reading my post in the way I hoped. I am suggesting that an Obama presidency may work real hard to shut down the conservative reporters.
I know that the conservatives will find a way to get out their messages-it just might be a tad more difficult.
an Obama presidency will take the nation in a different
direction..the neocons will no longer call the shots
on foreign policy..and that from my perspective is a good
thing…we won’t get out of Iraq right away because we
can’t…simply stated..but we will as soon as the generals
assure the president that our troops can exit safely
and that there will be an Iraqi government strong enough
to guarantee their own security..as for the economy
going fromn 36% to 39% as the increase in taxes on those
making 250 or more will NOT AFFECT our ability to create
jobs..neither will increasing the capital gains tax from
15-20…it simply won’t …after that we will see
remember if we don’t like what we have bought …we
can trade it in in four years..
Thanks for your analysis, Consultant. I almost said “Comrade,” but didn’t.
However, that “new direction” you speak of may be southerly, in the same philosophical direction as Uncle Fidel and Uncle Hugo.
it very well may..but if he tries that…there will be
outrage among conservative southern democrats and
republicans …so regardless of how left he would like
to go ..he will be smart enough to govern from the middle
here is a little something to think about:
The Republicans of late, however, decided to trade in the “less government, more freedom†model that had worked so well for Reagan and conservatives. They deliberately and quite consciously made the social right and the economic right dependent upon Washington.
From the beginning, they tempted the social right with a seat at the table in forming policy, “faith-based initiatives,†federal interference in the Terry Schiavo case in Florida and a ludicrous amendment to the Constitution banning gay marriage. After eight years of being told by Rove and this White House that all the social ills of America could be federalized, it will take a long time to put this toothpaste back in the tube.
In 1978, state Sen. John Briggs offered Proposition 6 in California. The “Briggs Amendment†would have prohibited gays from teaching in public schools. Though the Christian right supported it, Reagan campaigned against it, seeing it as a violation of personal freedoms. Voters there sent it down in flames and Briggs blamed Reagan’s opposition for its defeat.
The economic right is in as bad a shape. Bush and Co. never understood what tax cuts meant to Reagan and conservatives. In essence, Reagan’s position was, “OK, I’m going to cut your taxes, but I am also going to cut spending. Don’t look to Washington to fix your problems or for a bailout. Look to yourself.†Reagan and the conservatives believed giving individuals more of their money meant more opportunity to pursue dreams of entrepreneurship, more self-reliance and more self-worth, certainly ennobling to the human spirit.
Rove, Bush and the modern Republicans have treated Americans like crack addicts, giving them tax cuts but also federal boodle, so tax cuts look more like an appeal to downright greed.
When Bush signed the McCain-Feingold Act, limiting the personal freedoms of Americans’ involvement in politics, Rove was asked in confidence about the constitutionality of the legislation. According to his questioner, Rove was singularly unconcerned and said he was only concerned about the favorable editorials Bush would get for signing the bill and that he, Rove, could live with the decilne in personal contributions to the 2004 Bush campaign.
Starting with No Child Left Behind and wending its way through eight years of Rove-inspired initiatives, Reagan’s organizing philosophy of “freedom†has been replaced by Bush’s “security.â€
Bush has also put conservatives in an impossible position by trying to explain deregulation versus the out-and-out corruption of the financial industry and bailout of their friends on Wall Street and nationalize the mortgage and banking industries. For the record, Reaganites oppose the bailout and federal involvement in anything other than throwing crooked brokers and bankers into jail block C.
Wehner said this election is not a referendum on conservatism, but he is only partially right. Millions of Americans have come to erroneously see Bush as a conservative when nothing could be further from the truth. This election will more accurately be a referendum on Bush’s “Big Government Republicanism,†and not Reagan conservatism, not our conservatism.
Trouble is, few will know it, and we conservatives have our work cut out for us.

There is no defending the mess the Republicans made during the recent years they ran Congress. But the Dems the last two years have been worse. Now, Congress’ approval ratings are about the average temperature at the North Pole.
There is no defending some of Bush’s big-spending maneuvers, either.
But that doesn’t mean an Obama presidency would be good for America, let alone an Obama teamed up with the likes of Pelosi, Rangel, Frank, Harry Reid, Dodd and Chuck Schumer.
There are many reasons to be against Obama. Stanley Kurtz summed up some of them—that undeniable pattern of radical associations he has—in a new article at http://www.nationalreview.com. It’s called “What We Know About Obama.”
the great thing about america is if you don’t like the model’you bought this year..you can trade it for a new
one in four years…mitt romney is announcing for president
this thursday as I am told…it may not be formal but he
is having a big press conference
Probably the longest presidential campaigning in American history, yet nary a sustained word about the costs of illegal immigration or an answer to muslim extremism.
