Rahm Emanuel, Moreno out-of-touch with #Chicago Values

Posted by Anne Segal on July 27, 2012 48 Comments

Chicagoans are used to politicians running roughshod over our city. It's a war zone today, but not just from the drug cartel and gang shootings that are ravaging our neighborhoods. The politicians from the local up to the federal think they're little kings, who use...

Elizabeth Warren criticized by liberal supporter for almost all-white campaign HQ photo

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 26, 2012 68 Comments

Obama came under criticism and mockery from the left and right when a photo of his Chicago campaign operation staff had barely a non-white face among them. All the talk about diversity was not practiced at his HQ. Elizabeth Warren has a similar problem, and has...

Will high Texas turnout dilute the Tea in Cruz/Dewhurst race?

Posted by Anne Segal on July 26, 2012 21 Comments

Turnout in this week of early voting for the Republican senate runoff in Texas is looking to be more than double what it was last year. Some say high turnout will favor Dewhurst over Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz, in a sense "diluting the Tea." The...

Dan Bongino – the speech that should launch him to victory

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 26, 2012 32 Comments

We have written before about Dan Bongino, running for Senate in Maryland against incumbent Ben Cardin. We have to win some races which are not expected. With speeches like this one (h/t Tamminator in Tip Line), Bongino could ignite a spark that achieves the unexpected. You can support...

WaPo columnist fears voters will think it’s okay to vote against Obama “and not be thought of as a racist”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 26, 2012 73 Comments

According to Jonathan Capehart of WaPo, there is a very dangerous ad running by the RNC. I have seen this ad numerous times, and didn't think it was that great: Capehart, however, sees danger, It’s not OK to ignore this pro-Romney ad: ...

Brown: Elizabeth Warren “a self-proclaimed rock thrower who wants to leave blood and teeth on the floor”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 26, 2012 26 Comments

I think this is a winning theme, that Warren will be the Dennis Kucinich / Maurice Hinchey of the Senate, someone who can spout far-left rhetoric and play the anti-factory owner card, but will be marginalized as a Senator. If the people of Massachusetts want someone...

Nation of Islam can open a restaurant in Chicago, but not Chick-fil-A?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 26, 2012 56 Comments

Even The Boston Globe has come out against the bullying of Chick-fil-A by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino because of the position of Chick-fil-A's President and his father (the founder) on marriage: The president of Chick-fil-A opposes gay marriage. While this view goes against the grain in a...

Obama and Warren cribbed “build it” narrative from progressive Berkeley Professor

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 25, 2012 90 Comments

By now you have heard the Obama and Liz Warren speeches about how no one got rich on his or her own. Listen to them again, it's important to hear how they frame the issue almost identically: This narrative is cribbed almost verbatim from the narrative of...

This was almost the bestest day eva for race card playas

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 25, 2012 39 Comments

This was almost the best day in the existence of those Obama supporters who dream every night about what they can do the next day to tag Mitt Romney as racist. They almost got what they wanted today, or so they thought, because The Telegraph newspaper...

Best “you didn’t build that” political cartoon

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 25, 2012 44 Comments

A really good political cartoon sums up the absurdity of a situation without much verbiage. This cartoon by A.F. Branco (original here, reprinted with permission) captures perfectly how out of touch Obama is when discussing the role of government in helping individuals succeed. Sure, taxes (including from business...

Now Chicago Alderman seeks to ban Chick-fil-A

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 25, 2012 61 Comments

First it was the Mayor of Boston who announced his intention to block business permits for Chick-fil-A not because there is any evidence that it discriminates in employment or services, but because its founder and his son (now the President) support keeping the definition of marriage as one man -...

Bring on the “you didn’t build that” counter-attack

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 25, 2012 35 Comments

The moment I heard Obama's "you didn't build that" speech, I knew Obama had dug himself a deep hole from which he would have to spend considerable time climbing out of. Via Zeek Miller at BuzzFeed Politics, the Obama campaign and Democrats understand how bad the...

Why hasn’t Elizabeth Warren’s family backed her up on Cherokee claims?

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 25, 2012 16 Comments

The question which has not been asked yet by the media, but needs to be. Elizabeth Warren has no documentation that she is Cherokee, Delaware or any other Native American tribe. The initial claim that Warren was 1/32 Cherokee was withdrawn by the New England Historic Genealogical...

“Dewhurst’s Allies Are Throwing The Kitchen Sink At Cruz”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 24, 2012 26 Comments

I understand, from a far distance, that the anti-Ted Cruz ads have been pretty brutal. This report by National Journal, Four Signs of Cruz-mentum, indicates the last few days will be the worst yet: Dewhurst's Allies Are Throwing The Kitchen Sink At Cruz: The main super...
