Domestic spying and the Media

It seems the media has a love affair with reporting some erroneous claims about Domestic spying. The AP and NY times continue to say that the program started after the September 11th attacks, but in reality the NSA approached Qwest and AT&T many months prior to 9/11. So not only does this lie of “terrorism surveillance program” come from the White House, but the media is just as complicit to publish incorrect information about the program. So when you continue to hear the debates about FISA and how the Democrats in power right now refuse to go along with retroactive immunity (even...

Hillary new delegates and Obama calls out the hypocrisy

Apparently part of the Clinton strategy is to come up with an attempt to make her position seem close to Obama and at the same time Hillary is to try to discredit Obama’s wins… by… creating a new category of delegates. First we of course we have pledged delegates and superdelegates. Well now, according to the world of Hillary, we have “caucus delegates”. This self-interpretation is an apparent attempt to give less value to caucus states and more value to primary states. This was augmented by Gov Rendell stating that caucuses are “undemocratic”. Of course...

Um isn’t there a caucus today?

Back on the voting trail. Today is caucus day in Wyoming and I find it very peculiar that the press is now ignoring (for the most part) WY and just focusing on PA. Something tells me that if Obama wins today (WY is a caucus state so he has an advantage out of the gate) that his win will not have any perceived “momentum killer” for Hillary as it rightfully should. Actually today’s headlines should read “Obama wins WY and TX” since he leading in the pledged delegate count there. With 12 pledged delegates at stake Obama could nearly negate any delegate win Hillary had with a...

Has Hillary turned Liberman on us?

It’s been 48 hours since the polls came in on Tuesday on Hillary RI, OH, and TX-primary victory. Before that victory there was a lot of questionable behavior coming from the Clinton team. Since then she has outright gone Republican-in-Democrat’s clothing on us. Let me explain. NATFAgate Just before the Tuesday vote there was a story about a Senior Advisor from the Obama camp talking to the Canadian ambassador about the debate and NAFTA. In that conversation it was reported that this Senior Advisor said “don’t worry, it’s just campaign rhetoric”. This story got some traction and the...

Aftermath of the TX, OH, RI, and VT primaries and primacaucus

So it’s been nearly 24 hours since the first polls closed giving Obama a decisive victory in VT, only to see him lose TX (in the primary), RI, and OH in the later hours. While the victory for Hillary has given her new legs in the media, it is nearly impossible for her to catch up to Barack’s delegate count so now it seems that either candidate will either have to “make nice” or go through a brokered election. I can’t help but be a bit put off on her tactics as of late. Like SC, the Clinton camp went for the scorched earth technique (dubed the Kitchen Sink) and went as...
