  1. Comment on Hain ‘clarifies’ comments in contempt of court case

    Thanks, Pete. An excellent interview that helped clarify things for me immensely.

  2. Comment on Obama endorses gay marriage
    on 12 May 2012 at 9:44 pm

    I think a very alarming development in Obama’s re-election campaign has been his attempt to intimidate and besmirch Romney donors. He is trying to use Chicago-style politics to bully and silence his opponents.

    The attempt by the Obama camp to damage the reputations of those donating to Romney, as explained today in the Wall Street Journal article, The President’s Hit List, lowers the tone of American politics even further and illustrate that Obama is possibly more ruthless than even Nixon.

    Romney’s main case against Obama is that Obama’s a nice enough guy, but over his head in the presidency. However, it may reach the point where Romney will have to expose Obama for the thug that he is.

    Greenflag: ‘At least the moronic Dubya Bush had some gumption even if he could’nt spell the word:(‘

    Oh, the irony. Hilarious!

    Getting a little hysterical, are we, Greenflag? Totally understandable. Rasmussen’s Presidential Tracking Poll for today shows Mitt Romney earning 50% of the vote and President Obama attracting 42% support. Mr Zero is not only trailing Romney in the US, his international support is also bombing out. Even the AP has noticed.

    With this well-timed attack on Romney, which the family of the man concerned has said ‘is factually incorrect’, it would appear that the Washington Post has resumed its role as part of Obama’s re-election campaign.

  5. Comment on Obama endorses gay marriage
    on 10 May 2012 at 2:47 pm

    It has become politically expedient for Obama to ‘support’ gay marriage again in 2012. He supported it in 1996 and then backtracked in 2004. He needs money, and gays groups are now an easy touch.

    His latest cynical flip-flop on the issue is primarily for his own political survival, nothing else.

  6. Comment on Anti-Semite defeated by cartoon character
    on 5 May 2012 at 12:42 pm

    “My programme is absolutely, avowedly Conservative – with a big ‘c’ or a small ‘c’. It’s about cutting taxes, getting rid of useless government expenditure and focusing on the things that matter.”

    Wish more politicians had these goals. Boris is a big, bubbly character, but definitely a force Labour cannot handle. Conservatives need to get back to basics and abandon their anti-conservative/liberal policies.

    Well done, Boris

  7. Comment on Imitation is the greatest form of flattery? Is the Belfast Telegraph standing on the shoulders of the News Letter?
    on 1 May 2012 at 2:07 pm

    Imitation is the greatest form of flattery? Indeed, but sometimes it’s called plagiarism.

  8. Comment on Belated admissions from both of Northern Ireland’s top politicians…
    on 30 April 2012 at 9:35 pm

    Martin’s doting. He didn’t dump Trimble. The Unionist electorate did. Why would SF want rid of those they gained so much from? The DUP drove a far harder bargain with SF than the UUP ever did. Kudos to Martin, nonetheless, for making it all sound so plausible.

    ‘minor fundamentalist sect’

    What a pathetically small-minded, derogatory and inaccurate comment, Drumlins Rock!
