According to the latest Pew Research poll they are:
The good news for Republicans: You are happier than Democrats. You always have been, and you probably always will be.
Never mind that your presidential candidate is sinking in the polls while your president plumbs historic depths of popular scorn and your free market squeals for intervention while [...]

You see, there are anti-Americans among us, and you may be one of them!
How can you tell if you are a REAL American. All you have to do is do this [...]
And again I ask, Who is the celebrity now?
From Politico.com:
The Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.

Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin: A Reversal of Resumes
Published by October 21st, 2008 in Election 2008 and Politics. 2 Comments“The Old Viking” forwarded me a viral email today. I did a quick Google search and found that it’s up on quite a few sites. I get a lot of these from both sides and I don’t usually post them, but I really like this one, so here it is:
What if the resumes of Obama/Biden [...]
Washington is a blue state, so we don’t get anywhere near the number of presidential campaign ads as those who live in the tightly contested states like Missouri, Iowa, and Pennsylvania. We do, however, have a tightly contested gubernatorial race, and Biden did visit our state on Sunday to campaign for Obama and our incumbent Democratic governor, Christine [...]

The reporter interviewed [...]

Turns out that “Joe the Plumber,” as he became nationally known when Senator John McCain made him a theme at Wednesday night’s third and final presidential debate, may run a plumbing business but he is not a licensed plumber. His full name is Samuel J. Wurzelbacher. [...]
Third Debate: John McFeisty -vs- Barack Obama
Published by October 16th, 2008 in Election 2008, Politics and economy. 0 CommentsThe third presidential debate was best. John McCain was sometimes spunky and sometimes fiery, and Barack Obama was cool, thoughtful and right as usual.
Their passion is a refreshing change from what we’re getting from the Current Occupant. Bush now appears before the TV cameras to address the nation about the financial crisis and delivers his [...]
Occasionally Christopher Hitchens is a voice of reason hiding behind a facade of bullying neocon rhetoric. Read this article in the voice the voice and accent of John Cleese for added enjoyment:
McCain lacks the character and temperament to be president. And Palin is simply a disgrace.: “The most insulting thing that a politician can do [...]
Brief Thoughts on the 2nd Obama – McCain Debate
Published by October 8th, 2008 in Election 2008, Middle East and economy. 0 CommentsBarack Obama and John McCain squared off in a “town hall” style debate at Belmont University last night. The debate didn’t seem very town-hall like to me, because there was not much audience participation. I tend to think of town-hall forums to be pretty loosely controlled so that everyone there can participate. This one was [...]
