McCain ad: The Democrats are right about global warming; my president and my party are wrong

2 comments June 25th, 2008

I don’t know why John McCain’s campaign people think this ad is going to help them.

It’s only going to alienate the Republican base without any likely corresponding gain among independents (at least as I see it).

I’ll be out of the loop until late this evening, at the earliest. Meanwhile, feel free to comment here on whatever is on your mind.

You might want to guess how the Supreme Court is going to rule on the handgun ban in Washington, D.C. A decision is expected tomorrow.

I expect that the ban will be overturned, but I think the justices will issue varying opinions on the matter instead of a sweeping decision that establishes Second Amendment rights as broad as the gun lobby would prefer.

Anyway, feel free to discuss anything (within bounds of decency, of course.)

There’s no nice way to say this: Ralph Nader is a racist

Ralph Nader, who did more than anybody other than  five members of the  Supreme Court to put George W. Bush in the White House, now presumes to TELL US how a black presidential candidate should talk.

THIS is incredible, even for the Bush administration:

White House officials refused to open an e-mail, because they knew what was in it – an order from the Supreme Court they didn’t want to face.

Behold the wit and wisdom of the “psychological” twins of American politics
