Iraq's 3 AM Phone Is Ringing

Of late, Barack Obama has aggressively stepped up his misleading attacks on John McCain with regard to Iraq. The funny thing is, while Obama is blasting McCain for being willing to keep troops in Iraq for an extended period (though admittedly not on the basis Obama has claimed), we learn today that one of Obama’s advisors isn’t exactly advocating for a full and immediate withdrawal.

According to the New York Sun, one Colin Kahl penned a confidential memo recommending “that America keep between 60,000 and 80,000 troops in Iraq as of late 2010.”  Kahn also says that specific timelines should flow from negotiations and conditions on the ground.  In sum, as the Sun underlines, that’s a plan that’s largely at odds with the commitments made by Obama to withdraw combat forces from Iraq within 16 months of taking office, full stop (and I might add, so are statements made by certain other Obama advisers).

Kahl’s apparent sentiments on Iraq beg the question: What’s the deal, Senator Obama?  In or out? 

The 3 AM phone– on which Obama and Clinton have become fixated– is ringing and neither “present” nor diversionary attacks on John McCain, relying on misleading talking points, amounts to an answer.

40 Years Ago Today

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968)

“Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride.”

Cleaning Up One’s Own House First

Today, as part of its “Myth Busting” crusade, the DNC has decided to go down a road that leaves them with little to no credibility, something that doesn’t seem to deter or concern them. 

Senator Clinton and Barack Obama are both taking fire this week where matters closely associated with congressional ethics are concerned—like, say, earmarks, which incidentally the Democratic leadership in Congress hasn’t exactly done a stellar job of curbing.

Yesterday, David Williams, the Vice President of Citizens Against Government Waste, bashed Democrats for having talked a good game where the notion of getting rid of earmarks was concerned, but having scored few points, post-kickoff.  Williams stated on Bloomberg’s “Money And Politics” that we’re still dropping something in the order of $17 billion annually on earmarks.  And here’s the kicker: Senator Clinton and Barack Obama are contributing to the problem, and not by piddly margins, either: According to Williams, Clinton is responsible for about $200 million of that total; Obama’s haul, meanwhile, was $97 million.

John McCain’s total?  Zero.  Let me reiterate that: Zero. ...FULL POST

More Good News for Dino Rossi

Rasmussen data, released yesterday:

“The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Washington voters found a virtual tie in the race for the state’s next governor. Democratic Incumbent Christine Gregoire holds a statistically insignificant lead over Republican Dino Rossi, 47% to 46%.”

As an Evergreen Stater unimpressed with Gregoire’s “F” rating on CATO’s 2006 Fiscal Policy Report Card on America’s Governors, all I can say is: Good.

Reid On Taxes

So much of what Harry Reid says can boggle the mind, but in this interview, the Senate Majority Leader goes above and beyond even his usual standard.  Discussing taxation, Reid seemingly argues that the US tax system is “voluntary” and seems to suggest that the proof of this lies in the fact that Americans (unlike Europeans, as Reid seems to think) file tax returns.

As someone who has in fact lived and worked in Europe, I can assure Reid that tax returns are not exactly unheard of across the Atlantic.  Not that that actually has any bearing on whether taxes are best described as “voluntary” or not—and I suspect very, very few Americans would agree with Reid on his characterization of them.

You Look Like A Guy...

While Barack has been busy throwing gutter balls across the Keystone state, John McCain had the opportunity to exact some comedic revenge on one of my favorite late night shows, “The Late Show with David Letterman,” marking a slight detour from his weeklong “Bio” tour. 

Who says Republicans don’t have a sense of humor?
