One of the Worst Campaign Ads I’ve Ever Seen
by Tammy on July 21, 2011Courtesy of Tim Pawlenty. For a man who had such potential, it’s shocking to see such a meltdown. The tone of this ad is bad enough–verging on a fake optimistic-whiny-begging talk, but consider the content. This is the second time he’s touted that he “shut down the government” as though that’s a good thing to do. While we shouldn’t be afraid of doing that if we’re being held hostage by the left, the fact is we’d prefer someone who can actually govern, persuade and lead. The amazing thing, however, is the intent of the ad, asking us to “Prove the experts wrong” about him. What?! So here’s the candidate promoting the idea that experts don’t think he can do the...

I’ve mentioned on quite a few occasions on Tammy Radio that I, too, have them but rarely–about once or twice a year. Those of us who have experienced the hell of a migraine (replete with aura, excrutiating pain and nausea) seem to be taking Bachmann’s news more seriously than others. No, this isn’t about having ‘headaches.’ It is quite a different experience. I have no idea what it must be like to have them on a regular basis; I’ve always known I’m lucky that...

Debt/Spending Cartoon & Linkage of the Day
by Tammy on July 19, 2011This post will update through the day. As I predicted, there will likely be a ‘deal’ on the budget and debt ceiling. After Sunday’s little confab between Urkel, Boehner and Cantor, what do you know! Suddenly there’s new life to a deal in the Senate: Democratic and Republican senators are rallying behind a $3.7 trillion deficit-reduction plan announced Tuesday morning by the five remaining members of the Gang of Six. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), who pulled out of the Gang of Six in May, has rejoined the group and praised the plan as something that could win the 60 votes needed to pass the Senate. “The plan has moved significantly, and it’s where we need to be — and it’s...
