Cabinet secretaries will fan out this summer to hear concerns and possibly sway some more-conservative voters. Reporting from Washington -- The White House bills it as a "listening tour," a chance for President Obama's Cabinet to get out of Washington and hear what's on the minds of rural voters around the country. En route, the White House is making sure it reaches voters in crucial swing districts. The itinerary laid out by the White House for its just-announced "Rural Tour" includes several politically competitive districts, which would give the Obama administration a chance to make its case to people who...

Have the republicans entered into a suicide pact? The party’s latest stratagem, a national “listening tour” would be laughable if it wasn’t so piteous. Republicans lost the House in 2006; followed by a disastrous campaign in 2008 that enabled Nazi collaborator, George Soros to install his Marxist marionette in the White House, and the party’s solution is to send out in the RINO’s? Reasonable minds must surmise that the party is not being run by Michael Steele, but rather by the Democrat party. Internal sabotage is the only tenable explanation.

EGOLENE ROYAL, the French Socialist presidential candidate, is trying to pull off a heroic political trick. She wants to appear to be modern, fresh and different.

The contradiction was exposed last weekend in a packed conference hall outside Paris, where Ms Royal finally unveiled her “presidential pact”. The event was designed to show that she does politics differently. It was the conclusion of her “listening phase”, during which more than 6,000 town-hall meetings were organised across...

Hillary in Aviary ("It's the bluebird--I know that" birdbrain + fraud)     by Mia T, November 2000, sometime before "the first Tuesday after the first Monday" "Bird of paradise" would have been a brilliant wrong answer for the New-York-state-bird question; in one fell swoop it would have flattered the necessary constituency, rendered hillary's cheating marginally believable and suggested a quick, secure, creative mind. But the obsessively perfectionistic dodo wasn't able to fake even one wrong answer in the Letterman phony "pop quiz," a nostalgic electuary of "Twenty-One" fraud and (Groucho) Marxist left-wing crow. Instead, this documented incompetent with...

CARRYING-hillary's-ANTI-PIRRO-WATER club by Mia T, 8.16.05 Let's keep a running list on this thread of thecarrying-hillary's- anti-Pirro-water club. Let's prove whatAndrea Mitchell's performance last Sunday merely hinted at, namely, that there's not a dime's worth of difference between a purveyor of access journalism and a useful idiot.   Hillary in Aviary by Mia T, November 2000, sometime before "the first Tuesday after the first Monday" "Bird of paradise" would have been a brilliant wrong answer for the New-York-state-bird question; in one fell swoop it would have flattered the necessary constituency, rendered hillary's cheating marginally believable and suggested a quick, secure,...
