McHenry no better than Calvan?
On a story like this, its better for the rightblogs to get ahead of it rather than react to the lefties who start to call us hypocrites for getting on reporters for the same behavior exhibited by Republican congressmen.
Wright affair is an issue, and its an important one
Obama explains — click to embiggen
If a president’s honesty, judgment and deeply held beliefs about race aren’t important, I don’t know what is. I’m getting a little sick of leftwingnuts telling me that the Wright affair doesn’t matter, its trivia, the media is pushing this and the right is exploiting it, the stupid, racist right etc. etc.
That’s bunk.
There is no more important issue that cuts right to the heart of the guy’s soul: does he believe what he and his wife have been nodding, agreeing and cheering with in front of their impressionable young daughters all these years?

Rooting for the Hillary! machine to chug on destructively
Punditz are still writing off Hillary, learning nothing from their past premature obits, only to have her rise like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction for one more flailing stab at her tormenters, no matter how many bullets, knives, polls and super-delegates are thrown at her.
Obamablogs to Hillary: Get out of the race so the racist rednecks will stop voting for you!
So Hillary wins by 10%, the top end of estimates and poll predictions of her margin, so she will keep running, of course, and looks pretty good going into Indiana, where she is favored as well. In North Carolina she is inoculated from an Obama win by Bill’s assertions that of course he does well there, all the black monolithically mob behind him in a herd mentality, much like they did Jackson.

The Audacity of Hypocrisy by former Romney supporters as they discover that a candidate’s religion IS in bounds, after all
Since Mormonism teaches blacks are “accursed of God”, perhaps that makes them fair game for bashing their religion, since they are so beneath whites? This would make Romney supporters consistent, at least.
All during Romney’s rise, we here at docweaselblog were voices in the wilderness, pointing out the racism, hypocrisy, hate-teaching, sexist beliefs and practices and intolerance of other religions endemic in the Mormon cult.
Again and again, McCain hating rightbloggers, who had no other credible alternative because they also detested Huckabee (and his evangelicalism) embraced Romney and again and again decreed that “religion is out of bounds”. You can’t attack a candidate on his religion, you can’t even discuss it.

Democrats have done a masterful job of flushing a sure thing down the shitter
Dems prepare for the 2008 in customary fashion
An long, costly, bloody, badly run, unpopular war (which war wouldn’t be, after the first 4 qualifiers) 8 years of Republican rule in the White House, after which the out party usually has the upper hand (unless you’re running against Dukakis, which they may be this year) an extremely unpopular president, latest poll numbers at 28%, dropping below the basement 30% of hard-core Republican stalwarts (although I don’t see it as justified, and I believe most people like him personally) and an economy that is perceived as, even if its not actually, going South.

John McCain, brave anti-corporate crusader?
I hate cigarettes and applaud efforts to keep them out of my face and encouraging smokers to quit, but there is a line where government starts to impinge in individual rights, de facto outlawing, or making overly expensive, a habit millions enjoy and which is not illegal.
If you are a true libertarian, you should feel uncomfortable with onerous smoking regulations and taxes, even if you don’t smoke yourself. Next time it could be your ox getting gored and all that:
