And So It Begins

tommy @ October 8, 2008 # One Comment

I’ve said several times that the Obama campaign needed to get out in front of the story concerning his past relationships because if they don’t, they run the risk of someone else setting the tone for them. All I know for sure is that they are questionable and unsettling.
Anyway, the setting of [...]

She Said He Said

The statement

I just wonder why not more has been made of the statement by Palin during the debate last night that “Maliki and the Talabani”–this is a quote from the transcript–”also in working with us are knowing again that we are getting closer and closer to the point of victory.” The Talibani obviously are our [...]

Finally Some Coverage

tommy @ October 4, 2008 # No Comment Yet

As I’ve said before, whatever the relationship is between Obama and Ayers, someone should be looking into it so that it’s out there and over with before the election. I’d think it would be especially important if you wanted to avoid some sort of swift boating effort against Obama.
Unless of course there is more [...]

What Surplus…

tommy @ September 30, 2008 # One Comment

I’m [...]

Because I’ve seen it linked several times at various places lately that the financial meltdown has happened while the Republicans are in charge…remind me again who controls both houses of Congress.

Obama and Ayers

Some info here.
Whatever the answers are here, someone needs to get them out there. I would think that if there isn’t anything to see, the Obama campaign would be all about getting it into the open so everyone could move on to something else. I’m not saying (or trying to imply either) that [...]

Taxes and Shared Sacrifice

tommy @ September 22, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Instapundit has some thoughts on the topic.

Personally, I’d like to see everyone pay at least some income tax, and I’d like to see the amount of tax paid, by everyone, go up or down every year in tandem with federal spending. That would encourage fiscal discipline directly. It would also make it harder [...]

Palin’s Email Hacked

tommy @ September 18, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Details here
Just watching the news now, and there seemed to be a few commentators that were more interested in whether or not any state business had been done on the personal email account.  Unbelievably they were trying to switch the conversation from the hacking of Palin’s email to she needs to somehow show she wasn’t [...]

We Need More Skeptics

tommy @ September 17, 2008 # No Comment Yet

Or something…
The tech bubble, price of oil, housing market, and now Freddie and Fannie and AIG too…  It all seems to be financing of the if we build it they will come variety.  Maybe they will, and in all good things of that nature it helps to be the first out before anyone recognizes what [...]
