Europeans For Obama

Aggregated from: A Political Glimpse from Ireland

Sometimes European support for a particular candidate is often treated with a sense of derision when American’s hear that Europe favors a specific candidate because: “Who likes those European’s anyway…” The truth of the matter is that every single person I have spoken t...

How Many Flip-Flops?

Aggregated from: A Political Glimpse from Ireland

Well in a previous post I made the statement that Senator McCain has made more flip-flops than Senator Obama but that is a given, considering his greater length of time in the political arena. Despite this length of time, flip-flops are only excusable if they express a sincere change in position bas...

Prolonging The Inevitable

You know things are bad for the GOP when one of their own puts out a re-election advert demonstrating his close ties with the presidential hopeful. How bad do the republicans have it? Many pundits predict that the Democrats are going to decisively control the House in 2009 given the decreasing popul...

Republican Riddle

Aggregated from: A Political Glimpse from Ireland

I mentioned yesterday that I have come to a new realization with regards to the state of the media environment within the United States. This realization is that conservatives receive the lions share of content from organizations like ABC, CBS, MSNBC and CNN who are traditionally known as liberal ne...

Fear Of Islam

Aggregated from: A Political Glimpse from Ireland

Some people may not know it, but there is an underlying fear of Islam and Muslim people in America, that is to be expected to a certain extent given the events of 9/11 and 7/7 in England. The Media are also to be blamed as they have sensationalized the “War on Terror” always making sure ...

Whatever It Takes

Aggregated from: A Political Glimpse from Ireland

I will say that today is one of “those” days for me, I was searching for a legal document only to find out that the lady who cleans this house once a week has thrown it away. Beyond that issue I am a little disappointed in Senator Obama after his agreement to support the bill to provide ...
