Makes no difference if there is an R or a D after the name of the candidate, your choice is boiled down to two liberals.  I believe John McAmnesty is going to be the Republican candidate. It is still to early to call the Democratic side of it, be it Hillary Healthcare or Barak quick run away and hide Obama , we are going to get to choose between one of these three pieces of liberal garbage. For the first time since 1968 when I first became of age to vote, way back then you had to be 21...

If you have been reading the biased media headlines, or the same from the resident socialist you might believe the GOP blocked the stimulus bill for the nonsense they are saying.

The 48-41 vote which the media calls "just falling short of 60...lol" blocked more pork from being added to an already useless bill. Billions to help the economy from a recession that doesn't even exist.

The bill will already provide "free" money to people who don't work, or pay taxes, but that just isn't enoug...

Ann Coulter chanting "VOTE ROMNEY" on FOX News yesterday.

Rush Limbaugh detailing for his entire three hours exactly why a McCain nomination will destroy the Republican Party.

Sean Hannity repeating the same four talking points over and over and over... oh wait, that's normal. But those talking points are about how horrible a senator and president McCain has been and will be, respectively.

Well, just another Super Tuesday has come and gone. And the conservative punditry is ablaze, f...

For all the hoopla and falderall regarding the Super-Duper, Ultra-Mega Tuesday primary elections today, it makes me wish I was part of the madness. If I could vote today, I could get caught up in it all. But for now, I'm a dispassionate observer. Since I am a registered Maryland Republican, all I can do is sit back and let the rest of the country decide my nominee for me.

Frustrated? Yes.

As a recovering Democrat... I am interested to see the fall out of this one.

John Edwards has dropped out of the race of the Democratic Nomination, so it is almost a given that there will be a woman or a black man as the Democratic Presidential Candidate.

So, what does that mean?

Well, we will find out one way or another if America is ready to move on into the future past it's history. I do not believe it will happen. Should Clinton win, then I believe she has a better chance of d...

New Jersey is now a Super Tuesday state, and all of the candidates are still on the ballot

So on the democratic part is (and in order from left to right - I wonder how place on ballot is assigned)
Barak Obama - Dennis Kucinich - John Edwards - Joe Biden - Bill Richardson - Hillary Clinton

On the Republican part is
Rudy Giuliani - Fred Thompson - Mitt Romney - John McCain - Ron Paul - Mike Huckabee

Names are as spelled on the ballot.

I'm taking the opportunity to send a message - th...

I have just six words to tell all of you who want to let your "silence" be heard by the Republicans

Supreme Court Justice William Jefferson Clinton

Sweet dreams...

I just read an article about a suburb of Cleveland OH that has become a ghost town due to all the evictions etcetera in the area. The fact is that people that couldn't afford houses bought houses. Sometimes they lied about jobs or income, sometimes lenders didn't check or didn't care if the borrowers could afford to make payments. In many cases people got variable rate mortgages and got in trouble when (surprise, surprise) the rates went up. Lenders are businesses. Their job is to make money off...

If you look at any of the democrat debates or their pandering speeches to the masses, why would anyone vote a democrat?  Democrats want to raise taxes on small business and business owners, they want to massively increase social spending programs that hard working Americans will end up paying for.

Why complain about border control and security, do you think democrats will stop the people they will rely on voting for them in the future?  Democrats are only relying on two issues in th...

The first "poll" we had here on JU was back in late August, and what a bunch of changes and surprises we have had since then.  Fred Thompson's name popped up many times, and since the last poll he has since entered and left the race.

We are now approaching February and the next "big" thing (at least for republicans) seems to be Florida, which could most likely narrow the slim field even more.  Right now, each party is basically down to 3 candidates with two of them on the dem s...

I'm rifffing on Megan again - but she has an interestingcomment about the Democratic debates today.

"I look at that debate and it seems to me that Democrats think they can't lose in November--that the only important battle is the one for the nomination."

I find that interesting, because I know for a fact this is true of New York City (It's the reason Mayor Bloomberg ran as a Republican), and suspect it's true of much of Illinois. In areas that are heavily dominated by one party, as both...

One thing that bugs me about Libertarians (and many libertarians) is their fetish for gold. Megan McArdle takes a shot at explaining some of the things that bug me (economically) about the gold standardhere andhere. In particular, the gold standard seems to be a solution for a symptom instead of the underlying disease. That disease, of course, being, an untrustworthy government. As Megan says:

 "In short, you don't get anything out of a gold standard that you didn't bring with you...

The other day I wrote about how will the media help the democrats this election season.  Well it seems they have already started the big push to convince Americans that we are either in a recession, or it will definitely be coming.  For the last week I have seen and heard the word "recession" in seems like countless news reports.

If you listen close enough,  it would almost seem like they are excited for a recession.  The other problem is a great majority of Americans don'...

The DOJ brief lit the fuse that the SCOTUS tried to quench with their limited definition of the question at hand. What' at the other end of that fuse nobody knows (except possibly Justice Kennedy)...

DC asked the Supreme Court to decide "Whether the Second Amendment forbids the District of Columbia from banning private possession of handguns while allowing possession of rifles and shotguns."

Heller asked "Whether the Second Amendment guarantees law-abiding, adult indivi...

(I can't believe this is my 201st article. No one read my 200th, which I thought was funny (except you, Maso. You're cool) but here's another funny one. Better get more comments, dammit.)

Most of what I got for Christmas was not a surprise - they were either things I had asked for or obvious gifts.

However, Mom gave me one present that was the funniest, most pleasant surprise of the whole morning (with the exception of BlueDev's purchase of Object Dock + for me - yay for tabbed docks an...
