Earmarks

What is McConnell thinking?  This is the type of leadership that the Republicans cannot afford.  How can he hesitate in eliminating earmarks?  The citizenry has spoken.  Out with the old, in with the new.  No more politics usual.   Even after this significant election result … he withheld his support from the elimination of earmarks.  Earmarks, probably the poster child of old style politics.  HOT AIR  link below comments on his reversal to a TEMPORARY support of earmark elimination from federal budgets.  Gee thanks.

Who Is Buying This Election?

If the Republicans were spending the kind of money that the Obama campaign is spending, the MSM would be screaming that the election was a fraud.  They would claim that the Republicans bought the election with voter registration activity and TV and other media spending.

With Obama and the Democrats blessed with amazing contributions, no one wants to talk about this.  In recent elections, the Presidential candidates chose to limit the campaign expenses.  Obama chose to use his own funds thereby bypassing any limit.

Why does no one see this as an issue?  If the roles were reversed, the MSM would be all over it.

Powell Has A Short Memory

Where was Colin Powell when Obama’s campaign was maligning Mrs. McCain for drug dependency?  If this is not the definition of a personal attack, then I do not know what is.  Check above the fold in MSM newspapers about 2 months ago.

This is so typical of the liberal/Democratic campaign strategy.

Make you personal attacks first, then complain when there is a personal attack response.  It is just like the high school.  Do it first, the injured person reacting is always the one punished.  This type of behavior should embarrass all parties involved.  The Democrats for starting it.  The Republicans for replying in kind.  Worst of all is Powell for weighing in late with blinders on.
