John McCain’s false charge that Mitt Romney favored a set timetable for withdrawing from Iraq underscores how disastrous a McCain presidency would be. Any candidate can make a slight misstatement while talking extemporaneously. Hillary Clinton constantly rewrites her own record and has been caught fabricating, as when she made up the story that on 9/11, her daughter Chelsea was going to jog at Battery Park near the towers, where she heard and saw the catastrophe unfold. But no candidate in this race has gone so far as to baldly fabricate what another candidate has said, as McCain did over the...

There’s a reason some of John McCain's conservative supporters avoid discussing his record. They want to talk about his personal story, his position on the surge, his supposed electability. But whenever the rest of his career comes up, the knee-jerk reply is to characterize the inquiries as attacks. The McCain domestic record is a disaster. To say he fought spending, most particularly earmarks, is to nibble around the edges and miss the heart of the matter. For starters, consider: - McCain-Feingold — the most brazen frontal assault on political speech since Buckley v. Valeo. - McCain-Kennedy — the most far-reaching...

The rumors first surfaced during Obama's run for Senate but took off in a viral e-mail campaign in 2006. One e-mail called Obama "The Enemy Within." GOP strategist Ed Rogers also pointedly mentioned Obama's middle name, Hussein. In January, the Obama campaign was forced to denounce Fox News for repeating a false Insight magazine report that he had spent fours years in an Indonesian madrasa, an Islamic school. Though CNN sent out a reporter who found that the school Obama had attended had nothing in common with the Pakistani incubators for jihadists, and though his campaign has set the record...

REPUBLICAN DATA Giuliani 29%, Thompson 15%, McCain 12%, Romney 8%, Gingrich 8%. Others or none of the above, 28%. Giuliani beats Clinton by 6, 48-42; McCain loses by 3, 42-45. Both lose to Obama (42-46 and 40-48, respectively). 61% of GOP wants to move beyond Bush's policies; only 30% wish to continue (immigration, war, etc?) Sample size was small: only 437 probable Republican primary voters. Article falsely claims, "When the survey reduced the field to three candidates, Giuliani's lead was more decisive: He drew 48% to McCain's 25% and Romney's 20%." In fact, this is only an artifice of having...

There is compelling evidence now that John Kerry is a kind of Manchurian Candidate of Democratic politics. The clues were there all along, if we'd only looked closely enough. His curious combination of self-satisfied superiority and baffled indecisiveness was obviously too contradictory a mental characteristic to be natural. But the plot worked brilliantly. In 2004, as the party's presidential candidate, Kerry threw away a golden opportunity for a Democratic victory. Startlingly, this week, with the Democrats on the brink of their first clear victory in congressional elections for 14 years, the Manchurian Candidate seized a second chance to assassinate his...

After having watched the new and the old Manchurian Candidate this last week, it has occured to me, without actually having conspired among themselves the left has succeeded in brainwashing a segment of sociaty to vote their leftist issues. This week in Missouri, Republicans and Democrats alike voted down homosexual marriage by a margin 72% to 28%. We also voted down new gambling in Branson Mo, a family oriented resort area by a good margin. Both were Mo constitution ammendment issues. But get this, the state is largely controled by Democrats. Many Democrats obviously voted their moral conscience over these...

Brice Lalonde is a former socialist and Green Party leader in France, who ran for President of France in 1981. In 1988 he was named Minister of the Environment, and in 1990 founded the Green Party Génération Ecologie.

In 1968, Lalonde was President of the Union Nationale des Etudiants de France (UNEF), the French National Students' Union, which brought France to a standstill with protests...
