Makes Perfect Sense

Friday, October 10, 2008

It’s time for Sean Sullivan to pull out of the race for Congress. His past associations make him completely unfit for the office. Why do I say this? Well, consider this new attack from the McCain campaign: The McCain campaign is now broadening their attack on Obama’s past association with William Ayers to include Michelle […]

Debating points

Thursday, October 9, 2008

Speaking of Tuesday’s Congressional debate (see previous post): I know that the only way Republicans can win is by insulting the intelligence of the voters.

Who could have known that the SEC would roll over for Wall Street

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

The Keating Story

Monday, October 6, 2008

Obama is doing what Kerry and Gore never did. Hitting back. He was ready for the attacks and now that McCain has started spreading lies, Obama is spreading truth.

Breathtaking

Monday, October 6, 2008

According to the New York Times (Lehman Managers Portrayed as Irresponsible) Lehman executives were looting the company just days before it went belly up: One Lehman document among thousands reviewed by the House committee showed that four days before the bank filed for bankruptcy protection, Lehman’s compensation committee was asked to grant $20 million in […]
