Actually the Democrats have been race baiting for decades. And it’s not going away. Using fear and race-polarizing agitation to drive minority voters to the polls is going to be the increasingly overt face of the Democratic Party. They can’t win any other way. What’s new is that the mainstream media has suddenly discovered all of this.Through the years, these same news outlets have wasted no time at all in spotting anything that even hints of Republican race baiting. Take the presidential campaign of 1988.Willie Horton was a black murder convict who raped a white woman and stabbed her boyfriend...

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black - M. Stanley Dukakis is accusing Mitt Romney of being “a lousy governor.” Takes one to know one, Pee Wee. “After a year and a half,” the Duke told the State House News Service, “he just walked away from the job.” Excuse me, is this the same guy who during the 1988 election once told reporters, “If I were a sitting governor . . .” Uh, you were, Duke. You just forgot, you’d been out of state for so long, running for president in your tank. I mean, when you talk about...

During the 2008 campaign I made the statement that I thought that Huckabee was the most dangerous Republican candidate in that he would be a disaster as president. I said this because of the excesses of compassion that he had demonstrated as governor of Arkansas, as well as his unwillingness to put aside his religious beliefs in the conduct of public business. He is obviously a very talented showman, as his success on Fox demonstrates, but again I say, he is a most dangerous man. His misplaced compassion has left many victims. Clemmons is to Huckabee as Willie Horton was...

Russian aggression is the worst it has been in 40 years, Georgian civilians are dying in the streets, Poland is threatened with nuclear annihilation, and Ukraine looks to be in the crosshairs. McCain is hammering the Russians every day while Condoleeza Rice goes to Georgia to demand Russia's immediate withdrawal. And here is Obama, in a picture worth a thousand (wrong) words.

This Barack-Hillary Show has jumped the shark. Week after week, the same old same old. It’s gotten more tired than a Paula Abdul meltdown on “American Idol.” He wins one, she wins one. Barack’s people say, “They’re raising the bar!” Hillary’s minions say, “They’re moving the goalposts.” And America is changing the channel. Don’t the Democrats understand? This is May, a ratings sweeps months. You put your best new episodes on. Instead, we’re getting reruns from February. “Yes we can!” Obama said last night. Hey, isn’t this is where we came in? Actually, these next few days are going to...

"The voters have spoken--damn them!" Have heard Howie say that, though I think the actual quote (Mo Udall, 1976) is "The voters have spoken--the bastards." Remembering Peter Finch in "Network", used by Jerry Williams: "I want you to get up right now. I want you to get up out of your chairs--go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell I'm as Mad as Hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!" Give the Mass. voters (the ones who haven't fled) a couple years of Deval and Dem domination, and the vaccuum cleaner sucking dollars...

Mike Dukakis was a good governor. And if you don’t believe me, just ask Deval Patrick. Here’s the exchange from the final televised debate Wednesday night. Kerry Healey: “I’d like to ask you, do you think Dukakis was a good governor, and why?” Deval: “I think that Mike Dukakis was a good governor in many ways, and we had challenges then.” We sure did, Deval, and the biggest challenge of all, at least to us taxpayers, was named M. Stanley Dukakis. Sure, Deval’s lead in the polls is most likely insurmountable, and tossing a bouquet to the henpecked wimp Mike...

Hey, Mike Dukakis, how can we miss you when you won’t go away? You and Kitty don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here. It’s bad enough that you can’t get there from here anymore because of the Big Dig disaster. But now we must deal with the re-emergence of the man known as Pee Wee Dukakis from whatever rock, or concrete slab, he’s been hiding under all these years. You can’t open the paper, or turn on the TV, without seeing him, and always with the same lame rap. If only they’d listened to me . ....

John F. Kerry still dreams of becoming the next John F. Kennedy, but he’ll never even reach Ted Kennedy heights, or is it depths? Not that anyone would ever dare tell Liveshot this. Seldom is heard a discouraging word when you’re a 62-year-old gigolo married to a 67-year-old gold digger worth close to $1 billion. Ever more delusional, Kerry still fancies that his next job is commander-in-chief. He refuses to face the reality that he’s already well into his final role on the public stage. He has become the Mike Dukakis of the 21st century. John Kerry, reporting for doody...
