  • Birtherism isn’t dead May 18, 2012
    Discussion of President Obama’s place of birth died down significantly when he released his long-form birth certicate. But birtherism still lives, even if it no longer gets as much attention. Nationally, conservative bloggers have seized an opportunity to raise the issue. In some places disbelief in Obama’s America origins is still strong, and politicians ar […]

  • Wisconsin recall slipping away from Democrats May 18, 2012
    Just two and a half weeks remain in the recall of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), and momentum seems to be firmly on the GOP’s side. All three polls out this week show Walker leading Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) by between 5 percent and 9 percent. Perhaps more illustrative, though, are the candidate’s personal favorability and approval numbers. Read full […]

Fred Thompson For President

  • You crack me up Feldman. TV has been a king maker in the past. However, don’t forget the new fast up-and-comming web world; the internet. More and more people with access to the net are beginning to make their voices heard on the ISSUES vs. the CHARCTER IMAGES. The electorate and qualified candidages finally has an alternative to expensive million dollar six second sound bytes and campaign management approved propaganda and images previously dominating presedential politics.

    I’m to the point where it doesn’t appear to matter much who is in the White House or congress; they’re all bought and paid for in the end. Just sniff around “K Street” and you’ll get a good whiff of it; and it stinks.

    When is somebody gonna clean up that mess and throw out the garbage!? I’d love to see Thompson whittle down the government bureacracy and federal spending, i.e. get rid of DHS and a few others. Maybe for grins, you could impersonate his voice the way he says “VETO!” Make’m cry real loud “padner[Thompson]!!”

    Carry on Feldman!

    Fred Thompson for President? FRED FREAKIN’ THOMPSON??? If the issue weren’t so serious, this would be laughable.

    It says something about the pathetic field of Republican candidates that a TV actor who isn’t even an announced candidate is near the top of the polls! And it says something about the shallowness of Republican voters that they would make a serious candidate out of someone who has PLAYED at being President…a TV personality whose views on the major issues of the day ARE TOTALLY UNKNOWN!!!

    Using that criterion, I wouldn’t be surprised if Republicans nominated Keifer Sutherland as his running mate!

    Pathetic.

  • One thing that I have noticed is that there are a whole lot of earthquakes these days. Big ones too. So what does that have to do with anything? I found something that is just like that Easy Button that they advertise on TV for Staples. It’s a little known secret that is only shared by some top level Internet gurus. There is nothing illegal or shady about it… it’s just kind of secret. And the best part – it is really running on full autopilot. Some people are tempted to exploit this software and use it for unethical web promotion but the owner is asking that everyone who is lucky enough to get it, please try to respect the laws of the internet. It really is as simple as downloading the software and then pushing a button. Basically what it does is bring a stream of free visitors to any website. Don’t even bother trying to figure out how this powerful software works. All you really need to know is that you can download it (if the link hasn’t been taken down yet) and then push a button and watch the magic. Test it out -> http://tinyurl.com/pbcsites
