The Second and Third Debates

Posted by Josh Ferguson on October 15, 2008 at 2:22 pm

It’s taken a while but I’m just getting around to writing about the second and third debates. I’ll just give my overall impression.
The VP debate, I think, disappointed a lot of people who wanted to see Sarah Palin fall flat on her face. After mediocre appearances in some interviews with the media, there [...]

First Debate

Posted by Josh Ferguson on September 30, 2008 at 10:07 am

I know I’m late in the game. The debate was last Friday. I didn’t get around to watching it until last night. Life is just so busy.
I’m not going to go line-by-line of what was said and I’m just going to give my impression. My main impression was that McCain won [...]

Biden Feels Hillary Would Have Been Better VP Choice

Posted by Josh Ferguson on September 10, 2008 at 2:28 pm

Joe Biden made a very surprising comment at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire today. He said:

Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, was announced as John McCains running mate. This was a huge surprise since most pundits thought it would probably be either Mitt Romney or Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
I believe that McCain is going for a grab of the disenchanted Hillary supporters in the Democratic party. I think [...]

Pelosi May Finally Start Listening to the People

Posted by Josh Ferguson on August 13, 2008 at 8:53 am

Nancy Pelosi may finally allow a vote on offshore drilling. Pelosi and House Democrats have been taking a lot of heat over their stonewalling of a bill that would allow offshore drilling in spite of the overwhelming public support. So it seems that she’s finally backing down but she’s not going to give [...]

Russia is Getting Really Scary

Posted by Josh Ferguson on August 12, 2008 at 4:34 pm

I don’t know about anyone else, but the invasion of Georgia by Russia is really scary. It’s too similar to the invasions of its neighbors when the Soviet Union was still forming. The difference this time is instead of being because of the Communism ideology, this time it seems to be because of [...]
