I continually e-mailed different bloggers and pundits during this election cycle, so I decided it might be nice to create my own blog. While my views range from liberal to conservative depending on the issue, I have become an increasingly partisan Republican over the past four years and I rejected claims made by some fellow Republicans that somehow we would be better off if the Republicans lost both Houses. Unfortunately, the Democratic plan to retake both house came to fruition.

Raising Kaine and the Webb Campaign
It is odd that on October 31st, the Jim Webb blog, Raising Kaine, referred to S.R. Siddarth as S.R. "Macaca" Sidddarth (but have since revised it). See http://www.raisingkaine.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=5636 Giving the fact that they and many opponents of George Allen claimed that Macaca was equivalent to using the N-word why on Earth would Lowell Feld (the site operator) post that? Would someone post S.R. "n-word" Siddarth on a website? No ,of course not, that would be racist. This just demonstrates most people including the Webb campaign recognized that Macaca was not the n-word but were willing to exploit the situation regardless of the merits of the accusation.
