How do you know when a president is lying?

Michael Haltman — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 18:56:00 +0000

Or Is That A Lawyer?You know the old joke. How do you know when a lawyer is lying? He opens his mouth. A president is usually held to a much higher standard, although in the case of President Obama, Congressman Sestak of Pennsylvania (running against A...

Obama Administration Says No Laws Were Broken In Joe Sestak Job Offer

The Cover-up Is Always Worse Than The Crime

The Obama White House has reported that they have looked into the allegations of impropriety concerning Joe Sestak. The suspicion is that Sestak had been offered an administration position by former President Bill Clinton to drop out of the race for the Senate against Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania, aka the alleged Sestak bribe.

The White House has determined that no laws had been broken and that all was well above board. The report said "allegations of improper conduct rest on factual errors and lack a basis in the law," although they acknowledge that Rahm Emanuel did ask Clinton to speak to Sestak.

This Obama White House investigation is the equivalent of President Nixon saying that a thorough investigation into the break-in at the Watergate...

Poor, Delusional Alren Specter

J.J. Jackson — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 23:16:37 +0000

Everyone knows that my opinion of Senator Arlen Specter is not at all good. His intelligence is on par with that of a ripe tomato and, well to be honest, I believe that the ripe tomato would better serve the citizens of Pennsylvania. To some that may sound harsh but seriously, the man is dimmer than a burned out light bulb. How he managed to get elected to the Senate for so many years is one of the great mysteries of the universe.

Specter Ain’t No Lady, Go Ahead And Hit Him Hard!

J.J. Jackson — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 19:56:34 +0000

Senator Snarlin Benedict Arlen Specter is trying to figure out where it all went wrong. This week he made an ass of himself while telling Rep. Michele Bachmann to, "act like a lady," when he tried to tell her in an on air scuffle that she could not have voted for "prosperity" because prosperity wasn't a bill! As if prosperity flows from bills in Washington!

Toomey and Specter Race In Pennsylvania Not Forgotten

J.J. Jackson — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 23:05:33 +0000

With the showdown in Massachusetts less than a week away and Democrats posting nowhere near the poll numbers they should in such a heavily liberal and deep blue state, the race for the Pennsylvania Senate seat currently held by Arlen Specter is on the back burner. But it is not forgotten.

MAYDAY! MAYDAY! THIS IS ARLEN SPECTER AND I’M GOING DOWN!

J.J. Jackson — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 23:37:17 +0000

Benedict Arlen Specter, the RINO who was always a liberal Democrat, is continuing his nosedive in the polls heading into next year's mid term elections where he will stand for reelection himself. Specter, as you will recall, jumped from the Republican Party to the Democratic Party when it became clear in polling that he would loose this time around to Pat Toomey, the man Specter barely beat out last time around by a hair.

Obama Slips, Specter Dips And Obamacare Is R.I.P.

J.J. Jackson — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:42:08 +0000

It is bad news if you are a liberal socialist these days. First off, Barack Obama's approval numbers continue to slip. The latest daily Rasmussen poll shows Obama's "strongly" approved of rating is down to just 29%, and his total approval rating is down to a new low of 47%.

Does Senator Specter Not Want To Speak To Hard Working Pennsylvanians?

J.J. Jackson — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 22:13:05 +0000

Senator Benedict Arlen Specter is out and about holding "Open House Town Meetings" with the public and after yesterday's less than friendly response to his appearance in Philadelphia where he was repeatedly booed and heckled it is not that hard to see why the rest of his schedule is set up the way it is. At a Sunday meeting you are sure to get a lot of people that have jobs showing up, such as his August 2nd event. However the rest of the schedule is notorious for the way politicians avoid confronting hard working Americans and setting up events at all sorts of hours during the week where they can be assured that those showing up are those that have their hands in the cookie jar somewhere and don't have a job to attend.

Pat Toomey Wasting No Time Taking On Senator Specter

J.J. Jackson — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:03:42 +0000

Senator Arlen Specter ran scared at the thought of having to compete against Pat Toomey in the 2010 Senatorial primary here in PA. We all know how it went down. Specter, realizing that he barely beat Toomey last time around and seeing polls that had him loosing badly to Pat, jumped back to the Party where he was originally at the start of his political career and never really left; the Democratic Party.

Softball Questions For Sotomayor

Carl Andrews — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:26:02 +0000

Today the United States Senate begins questioning Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor regarding her record and qualifications for a seat on our nation’s highest legal bench. And with one member of the Senate Judiciary Committee having stated that her approval is all but assured, it appears to be a foregone conclusion that we will soon see [...]
