Latest News from the Campaign Trails

Just because we have not been commenting on the two Presidential campaigns for some weeks does not mean Common Sense Politics has not been watching those two candidates and their respective campaign activities. To be quite honest, it’s been funny and very entertaining and we think that a man like Neil Simon could probably have […]

The ‘Lost Tribe’: What happened to Republicans?

The history of mankind is filled with stories about so called ‘Lost Tribes, Lost Cities, Lost Civilizations’ and so on. Images of Atlantis, the Incas and the Etruscans and many others come to mind and there has always been a certain amount of mystery and curiosity associated with that. It is in the spirit of […]

The Inherent Dangers of political Slogans

We all have heard buzzwords from politicians over the many years since the invention of political slogans. Many of them have become bumper stickers as well and have been effective while others have been not so successful. Overall though, since they keep popping up, politicians and agenda driven people and groups must think of them […]

Happy Birthday, America!

Who would have thought in 1776 that the newly crafted Declaration of Independence would be the birth of a nation celebrating it’s 232nd birthday today, the United States of America. The 56 signers of this document represented the original thirteen states and it concludes with ‘we mutually pledged to each other our Lives, our Fortunes […]

Candidate’s Assessment: Barack Obama

This is the second of two Presidential candidate’s assessments, this one about Barack Obama. Like we did with Senator McCain, Common Sense Politics will not go into deep detail when it comes to his background and upbringing but will instead focus more on recent history and events in his life. Anybody who wants greater detail […]

Presidential Finalists - Really?

For about two weeks, we have had two finalists in the Presidential sweepstakes, two United States Senators, John McCain (R) from Arizona and Barack Obama (D) from Illinois. We predicted this outcome well over three months ago in ‘And the Winner Are…‘ but the Primary season dragged on into June and so it is only […]

Real Culprits of America, continued…

Political Common Sense cannot quite stop talking more about the real culprits of America as we identified them in our previous article, Congressional Culprits Revealed. First off, let us remind ourselves what the United States Constitution says about the branches of government:
The Executive and Legislative are constitutionally equal branches of the United States

If the shoe fits, Mr. Obama…wear it!

During his visit to Israel two weeks ago where he participated in that countries 60-year anniversary celebrations, President George W. Bush gave a speech to Israel’s Knesset, the legislative branch of that country. His speech was well received by those in attendance and moved some people to tears. The President re-assured the Israelis that America […]

Is the Fat Lady ready to sing?

When looking back, we here at Common Sense Politics have not always been correct in our predictions when we made them. For example, we did not pick John McCain as even having a chance of getting the Republican nomination before the primaries and caucuses began. But slightly more than two month ago, on March 11 […]

Bar Stool Economics

Since most of us survived the annual trauma of tax day last week, it might be of interest to shine a different light on our wonderful progressive Federal tax system. As Common Sense Politics, we have been bothered for a very long time by the class-warfare as played by politicians, primarily liberals, also known as […]

Catholic Church still in disarray

It took a very long time for the Catholic Church to address their pedophile priest problems in America. In fact, had it not been for a huge number of aggressive lawyers across the country finding victims from past decades, the Catholic Church hierarchy would have been probably able to keep a lid on this scandal […]

Wow! An Accelerating DNC Mess

One of the hottest issues in the Presidential election primary season on the Democrat’s side has been how to solve the situation of not having the states of Michigan and Florida represented at the Democrat convention in late August of this year. We here at Common Sense Politics think it worthy of analysis and review. […]

Re-writing Presidential Qualities for Senator Clinton to Include ‘Congenital Lying’

About two weeks ago, Common Sense Politics posted an article about the Hate Rants of Barack Obama’s pastor, it is therefore only fair that we take a closer look at what happened in the Clinton campaign. On three different occasions including as recent as March 17, 2008, Democrat Presidential candidate, Senator Hillary Clinton told about […]

The Hate Rants of Obama’s Pastor

For the entire time of our website’s existence, we have stayed clear of issues dealing with race, be it white, black, brown, yellow or any other color. As Common Sense Authors, we believe that race is not a topic we can intelligently address and have stayed away from it for that very reason. However, we […]
