This may be the first time you’ve ever heard Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan not lying — and wouldn’t you know that they only speak the truth when they think the microphone is off:
“It’s over.”– Peggy Noonan
Chuck Todd: Mike Murphy, lots of free advice, we’ll see if Steve Schmidt and the boys were watching. We’ll […]

I’m not sure what she brings to the ticket other than she’s a woman and a conservative. Well, she’s a better speaker than McCain.
— Faye Palin, mother-in-law of Sarah Palin, the presumptive Republican vice presidential candidate, in the New York Daily News.

The woman who, if she becomes the vice president of the United States, will have to take an oath to uphold the Constitution. Problem is, she was a member of a political party whose aim was to subvert the Constitution and have the state of Alaska secede from the Union:

Shortly after McCain announced his vice presidential pick on Friday, I told Jon and Buck, “Somewhere, John McCain is praying to God for a do-over.” Since then, there’s been nothing but drama unfolding around Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

He says that the selection of Gov. Sarah Palin as John McCain’s vice presidential running mate “unites the Republican Party and energizes its conservative base.”

Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil […]

McCain has tried previously to deny that he ever claimed ignorance of economic matters, but that quote won’t go away
The original remark…slipped out […]
