A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post examining why Barack Obama is the obvious choice for president based on who his likely Supreme Court Justice nominations will be. It is time we looked at another very important issue that the person filling the office of president will face; foreign policy. A great deal […]
Sick of presidential election news and national politics? Guess what I get to come home to in my own local county… bigotry, racism, and fear…. no just by some of the residents; but by people officially selected for public service positions by our “enlightened” county Board of Supervisors. Huge thank you to Eric Byler for […]
Juan Cole asks this very interesting question about why you still think of yourself as a Republican: Are you a masochist? I love Mr. Cole’s writing.
Let’s ignore for a few moments the media’s focus on imagined personality and pretend outrage and actually focus on some issues; like how the next president of the United States will impact every one of us. The next president, should he or she last four full years in office, is likely to nominate two United […]
Senator John McCain is telling lies for personal gain. That shows a lack of integrity. Integrity is the most crucial moral characteristic that every holder of high office must have. Clearly demonstrating a lack of integrity means that not only should McCain be disqualified from running for President, he should also be forced to resign […]
Senator McCain talked a lot about change last night. He claimed to be the agent for change. So, Senator McCain, I have two questions for you that you mysteriously did not include in your long winded speech: 1) What exactly are you planning to change? Hell, what are you offering to change that you probably […]
The more I think about, the more sure I am that McCain’s choice of Palin for running mate clearly shows us all exactly how much thought he’ll put into future Supreme Court Justice nominations and cabinet nominations. Who would he pick for Secretary of Defense? Who would he pick for key ambassador positions to countries […]
Isn’t it funny how the liberal media the ring-wing noise machine keeps ranting about simply does not exist? Crooks and Liars has an excellent analysis of the foiled attempt to shoot Barack Obama, United States Attorney of Colorado Troy Eid’s attempt to portray this as a minor threat, and the media (all networks) simply not […]
I am completely stunned… insulted, surprised, and in disbelief…. Am I the only person who thinks it is completely unacceptable for any strict Creationist to be seriously considered for the office of President of the United States? Blueweeds has a more thoughtful summary, it is well worth a read: http://blueweeds.typepad.com/blue_weeds/2008/08/palin-a-risky-j.html This is more evidence of […]
It is already all over ABC and Politico (both are moderately conservative media outlets), and I suspect Fox (which I cannot stomach, but is very predictable) is also running a series of articles that are over-focused on driving a wedge between the Clinton and Obama camps within the Democratic Party. I fully expect them to […]
