While on his “non-political” visit to Europe this week, Sen. John McCain happened to have a fundraiser with a bunch of ex-pats in Britain hosted by none other than Lord Rothschhild of the House of Rothschild
Poor John McCain, now he’s going to lose the kooky, survivalist wing of the Republican party […]

Admiral Fallon resigned his post as head of CentCom this afternoon, though the European Press seems pretty clear that he was pushed out.

A voice on the tee vee says that Defense Secretary Gates gave Admiral Fallon the message - that he should resign - by refusing to take his phone calls. Refusing to take […]

Okay, here’s a hypothetical: It’s 2000 and John McCain is the darling of the GOP. He is, in a way, the Barack Obama of 2000 - suddenly offering a very credible threat, to the annointed front runner who, in 2000, was George W. Bush.
Since McCain was thwarted by the unabashed racism of Bush’s […]

While all the results have yet to be tallied, Hillary Clinton has been declared the winner in Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island, with Obama only taking Vermont.
Ideally, at this point, the Democratic Party should acknowledge that Clinton has won just about every primary in traditionally blue states - and in those that could well be […]

The Sen McCain-Rev Hagee flap keeps on growing.
See our first discussion of it here
So, isn’t time to ask? Is John McCain a member of the Orange Order?
The Orange Order is best known for the obnoxious triumphalism they injected into Northern Ireland politics for centuries. Their rabid anti-Catholicism, […]

As an especially phlegmatic Irish Catholic myself, I have spent many years now screaming at Bill Donohue (on the tee vee) for many of the idiotic campaigns he has waged against secular society while cozying up to the more nutty elements of the evangelical movement.

I am delighted to see this morning that Bill’s […]

In 2006, Senator John McCain campaigned heartily for his fellow Arizona Republican Rick Renzi’s reelection to his third term in the House of Representatives. At campaign rallies and fundraisers McCain said that Representative Renzi was an important part of the Republican Congressional delegation from Arizona and he praised Mr. Renzi’s “honesty and integrity.” McCain was […]

While most of America seemed to focus on the New York Times story yesterday linking Sen. “Saint” John McCain with a flirtatious lobbyist (If you somehow missed that story you can it read it here .
But aside from opening the door on the issue of Sen McCain’s hypocrisy when it comes to lobbyists […]

Seriously, folks this is NOT an “attack” ad, nor is it going “negative”. The Obama people may say that he’s already done a million debates (is that all?), but it’s not the public’s fault the Democrats knocked themselves out with debates back before anyone other than that sliver of political junkies (who’d be […]

The first of our anti-McCain posts has been submitted. Perhaps an example of just how one would go about “swiftboating” him (ie using Rovian jujitsu). Thanks to Bill from Florida.
We heard - yet again - tonight, from both Senators Obama and McCain himself what a great American hero McCain is. We’ve been […]
