Where public policy meets common sense

McCain /Hayworth was 48 to 41% Now it is 53 to 37% It was close not McCain looks safe. Unless this ad backfires. I find it over the top to the point where it would make me think of supporting Hayworth. McCain wouldn’t air such an ad versus a Democrat filled with distortions. I guess [...]

Senator McCain who liked a Cap and Trade deal for carbon is opposing a 2 billion dollar rebate for “cash for clunkers”. Now this money is coming from reallocating the stimulus funds which is not working too well to a program which is working. What is the problem? Cash for clunkers is a conservative/libertarian idea. [...]

If we want to talk about earmarks according to the Washington Post Hunter Biden’ firm received 3.4 million in earmarks from Senator Obama. Senators Obama and Biden have the earmark thing down. It is even a family affair. There is nothing illegal or immoral about this. It just stands in contrast to McCain who did [...]

The reform wing of the Republican Party has triumphed. Reformer John McCain turned his back on the Washington Republican establishment and turned toward the working people of America. I will not go over the accomplishments of Governor Palin, just read my other posts and comments. I am focusing on what this choice means to the [...]

Word is out that Senator McCain is making a bold choice of Governor Sarah Palin. Today may indeed be the day the election was won. This is proof that God loves Republicans too. Way to go McCain. For More information on the next Vice President of the United States. http://stoptaxing.wordpress.com/2007/08/30/why-sarah-palin-could-be-the-most-important-person-you-dont-know/ http://stoptaxing.wordpress.com/2008/06/12/i-also-heart-sarah-palin/ Should I gloat and [...]

Senator John McCain is viewed positively by 55 to 58% of voters in every poll. He polled better than GWB vs. Al Gore in 1999 and 2000 by 4 or 5 points. So why is it a surprise that the Presidential race is close? I read questions like why isn’t Senator Obama 15 points ahead. Simple, [...]
Posted in Election 2008-President, Energy, McCain, Obama, Oil on Aug 5th, 2008
It’s Monday and time for the weekly Presidential update. Energy is the big issue in America. The bad news for Senator Obama is that more Americans now trust Senator McCain on the issue. The Obama people have gotten the message and the Senator has made a major address today on the issue. The race is a dead heat. [...]

The latest McCain ad pulls no punches. The answer to the question of why are gas prices so high–Obama. No hints there. It is an interesting approach. Senator McCain had always talked about his comprehensive energy plan. This one is about drilling pure and simple. It gives an important message, but is it too simplistic [...]

I have been watching Senator McCain climb up this week in Rasmussen and Gallup tracking polls. I took my time pointing it out because it could have been a statistical fluke. Now it seems real especially when I look at the underlying numbers. Senator McCain is trusted on the economy and has pulled even on [...]

Stop whining, said McCain economic advisor Senator Phil Gramm. (click for video) I wondered why Phil didn’t quite catch on when he ran. Senator McCain said, “I don’t agree with Senator Gramm… America is in great difficulty…Phil Gramm doesn’t speak for me, I speak for me”. This should settle it if there is any honesty [...]

I respect General Wesley Clark’s service to the country and his leadership. I am just sorry he doesn’t see fit to extend such sentiment himself. John McCain is only the best qualified individual to run for the Presidency in a generation. General Clark is backing someone who has hardly any track record at all. Out [...]

Here is a great quote from Dick Morris: Suddenly, everything is on the table. Offshore drilling, Alaska drilling, nuclear power, wind, solar, flex-fuel cars, plug-in cars are all increasingly attractive options and John McCain seems alive to the need to go there while Obama is strangely passive. During the Democratic primary, he opposed a gas [...]

Update: http://www.americasupportsyou.mil/americasupportsyou/index.aspx Please send an encouraging note this Memorial Day to our troops. Americans believe that Senator McCain will win the War in Iraq, but only 20% believe Senator Obama will win it. That is a significant underlying disadvantage to Senator Obama and a major hidden strength for Senator McCain. It could help explain why [...]
