I haven’t yet read David Freddoso’s new book The Case Against Barack Obama, but this is one political expose I can endorse sight unseen, since Freddoso, whom I’ve known for a few years, is a thoughtful conservative rather than a Republican hack. I expect his book will be a worthy companion to Matt Welch’s takedown [...]
Kelley Vlahos and Justin Raimondo (among others) have done a great job in pointing to the way the figures measuring the effects of the surge are being exploited by Bush, McCain and other members of the pro-war coalition. As Juan Cole and others have maintained, the relative reduction in violence in Baghdad and some parts [...]
The indictment of crooked, pork-barreling Senate Republican eminence grise Ted Stevens, of “Bridge to Nowhere” fame, is grounds for much rejoicing. But even better, Stevens’s top opponent in the six-candidate Republican primary set for Aug. 26 , Dave Cuddy, is a limited-government conservative who wants to bring the troops home from Iraq, not keep them [...]
There has been clearly a huge gap between the MSM’s glowing reviews of Barack Obama’s world tour and its impact voters who seem to be more inclined to vote for John McCain now. My explanation of the apparent paradox — the candidate’s great media visuals that slowdown his electoral momentum: Obama fell into the trap [...]

Bill Sasser has a powerful piece up on Salon today about how the Army [...]

While John McCain continues to stoke the narrative that Barack Obama’s youth and inexperience on Capitol Hill could be a danger to the country, some of the seeds of his own decades-long tenure in Washington — his “judgment” and “leadership” — are starting to bloom stink weeds. $4 billion dollars worth. Seems that while McCain, [...]
A mysterious blast that may or may not have taken place a week ago in a suburb of Tehran is producing more questions than answers. The explosion, which has not been reported in Iranian sources even though the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph stated that it could be heard all over the city of Tehran, [...]
It’s no secret that the Republican Party has put a high tactical premium on loyalty over the last eight years, engaging it as a key political tool (and bludgeon) to keep party soldiers marching in-step, and to bleed its enemies of legitimacy in the arena of public opinion. While there are obvious doubts that such [...]

This fear of finding oneself in bad company is not an expression of political purity; it is an expression of a lack of self-confidence.

Bob Barr has announced his support for the Strangebedfellows/AccountabilityNowPAC coalition and their Aug. 8 money bomb being put together by and modeled on the successful [...]
