Yes, the media are rooting for Barack Obama. Two studies out in the past couple of days show that it’s not just conservatives who see a strong tilt by journalists in favor of the Democrats: A nonpartisan media monitoring group and a liberal-leaning research organization both confirm the pro-Obama, anti-McCain bias of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC. In reports this week, the Center for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) and the Pew-funded Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ) found the most balanced campaign coverage was on the Fox News Channel, although PEJ claimed FNC’s balance was actually a right-leaning...

Seriously, take a look at Drudge. He's doing his best to expose Obama for the quasi-dictator that he aspires to be.

After hearing about Barack Obama’s ties to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Fr. Michael Pfleger, and the militant activists of ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), it should be clear to everyone that his extremist roots run deep. But the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has yet another connection with the world of far-Left radicalism. Obama has long been linked — through foundation grants, shared political activism, collaboration on legislation and tactics, and mutual praise and support — with the Chicago-based Gamaliel Foundation, one of the least known yet most influential national umbrella groups for...

With the nomination of the "anointed" one, it was clear to Democrats that the economy would be a better center piece for the upcoming campaign than Iraq. Their candidate had no real national security qualifications and the surge was working. Enter Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. Always, a hound for publicity, Sen. Schumer made public a letter he wrote to the Office of Thrift Supervision in June questioning the solvency of the California based IndyMac Bank.

Latinos for Reform (LFR) called on Senator Barack Obama to come clean with the American people, and particularly with the Latino community regarding the issue of his aunt, who has been in the U.S. illegally for four years now. "We have no doubts that Senator Obama is once again hiding the truth from the American people when it comes to the story of his aunt," said LFR Chairman Robert Deposada. "For crying out loud, everyone would agree that when people in other countries have relatives in government, it is a common practice to contact them for assistance when they have...

In speech after speech, Barack Obama has claimed he would "uphold the Second Amendment." Mr. Obama, of course, is a polished speaker who says "words matter." But records matter more. And while Mr. Obama is short on experience on most issues, he's long on anti-gun votes and even longer on rhetoric. Now's a good time to review both. One of Mr. Obama's first statements on the issue really said it all. During his first run for the Illinois Senate in... --snip-- But in 2005, he voted for a ban on all but the smallest rifle ammunition used for hunting (or...

ABC News’ Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., blew into the Buckeye State Friday afternoon, four days before Election Day, blasting Republican attacks against Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and declaring that come Tuesday, Obama's critics will be calling him the next commander-in-chief. "Ladies and gentlemen, we need to move past the politics of division and attack," the Democratic vice-presidential nominee told a crowd of 2000 in Kettering. "Over the past week, Republicans have gone way over the top in my view, calling Barack Obama every name in the book, and it probably will get worse in the next three...

This is the NRA site to educate people about Obama. Please view the videos and spread them to anyone you might know who owns guns. Obama, simply stated, is about as far removed from defending the 2nd Amendment as one could imagine. IMAGINE, TRUTH SQUAD, and WORDS are excellent videos. I am simply posting this for those who may not have seen this, as I want to get the word out.

<p>Sometimes it seems like this election is one big pillow fight. The air is now so full of floating feathers that it's hard to see the furniture, and the media isn't helping, as they blow the fluff around.</p> <p>But there are solid issues in this election, and how we vote will have lasting effect on our future.</p>

Did not see this posted anywhere else. Big news.

Energy: The gap between the presidential candidates' policies is as wide as the chasm between their parties. McCain prefers proven sources while Obama supports the fantasies pushed by environmentalists.The differences are almost as simple as saying that McCain wants to burn domestic oil and trusts the free market to provide energy, while Obama would rather watch windmills go around and around to inspire him to think of new ways for the government to get involved in the energy sector. They are, though, a bit more nuanced than that. But not by much. While both oppose opening Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife...

THIS SIGN WAS PLACED ON THE EMPLOYEE ENTRANCE DOOR TO A BUSINESS AND ALSO SENT TO NEIL BOORTZ THIS MORNING, WHICH HE READ. CHANGES IN THE WORKPLACE As of November 5, 2008, IF Obama officially becomes president-elect, our company will instill a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring issues of change and fairness: 1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales and bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally between all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are under-achieving a "fair shake". 2. All low level workers...

News flash: Obama is "biracial," according to his top adviser on race issues, Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree, during an Oct. 25 panel discussion at Harvard on race and the 2008 election: http://www.archive.org/details/OgletreeSaysObamaIsbiracial Ogletree's point is that because of pervasive racism which he expects will last decades, white America won't vote for blacks and other minority candidates. The expected heavy white vote for Obama doesn't disprove this thesis, Ogletree says, because Obama's not black; he's "biracial." So it looks like, according to Ogletree (and Obama?) that white America will have to do lots more for blacks after electing Obama to...

Dear John McCain, As pointed out yesterday, Obama's plan to expire the Bush tax cuts means a tax INCREASE for 100% of all taxpayers regardless of how much or little they earn, even those who currently pay no taxes. Most taxpayers will see an immediate tax increase as the Bush tax cut expires, and ALL consumers will see increases in the prices of products and services they buy as business will have to charge more for their products to make up for Obama's business income tax and payroll tax increases. This ill advised Marxist wealth redistribution tax increase scheme is...

Read Bill Whittle in NRO today: I happen to know the person who found this audio. It is an individual person, with no more resources than a desire to know everything that he or she can about who might be the next president of the United States and the most powerful man in the world. I know that this person does not have teams of highly paid professionals, does not work out of a corner office in a skyscraper in New York, does not have access to all of the subtle and hidden conduits of information … who possesses no...

The elections in America are winding down (thank God) and it seems as if Obama is in the lead by 3-6% points (if you believe the polls). In any event, by McCain's own admission he is playing catch up at this point. This seems simple, make the election from this point forward a referendum on socialism. It's clear that Obama has socialist leanings (proved by Obama's own rhetoric and his affiliations with the New Party). McCain needs to hit hard for a day or two on Redistribution of wealth being one of the tenets of socialism and tying Obama to...

Now is the time for the cold water of reality to awaken many of us up from a slumber that numbs our ability to act like faithful Catholic citizens. The bishops are calling for faithfulness to the Church, joined by the thundering voices of priests, deacons and pastors across the country.Are we willing for change to take place at the expense of our human freedoms – our freedom to worship and live in accordance with the tenets of our faith? Are we willing for change to take place at the expense of generations – children of our future who will...

ALBUQUERQUE, NM – There's a topic that Sen; Barack Obama, D-Ill., and his campaign don't seem eager to discuss much, or at all, and it's one that Republicans are raising with increasing frequency in these final days: the notion of one-party rule returning to Washington DC. "Senator Obama is measuring the drapes and planning with Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid to raise taxes, increase spending and concede defeat in Iraq," McCain said. It's one of McCain's closing arguments, and it makes sense. As ABC News' Polling Director Gary Langer points out, many swing-voting independents don't like the idea of one...
