R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Today, NARAL announced their endorsement of Obama for president. Apparently, this didn’t sit well with Ellen R. Malcolm, the president of EMILY’s List, who said in a news release “I think it is tremendously disrespectful to Sen. (Hillary) Clinton … to not give her the courtesy to finish the final three weeks of the primary process.” Which is strange, […]

Bush Appeases Himself?

George W. Bush, whose grandfather Prescott Bush made his family fortune by bankrolling the Nazi war machine, today compared Barack Obama to Nazi appeasers for wanting to use diplomacy. Bush also seems to forget that his only success in Iraq came from negotiations with insurgents (who are partners with Al Qaeda).

West Virginians, in their own words

http://www.236.com/news/2008/05/14/west_virginian_voters_greatest_1_6518.php I guess because he is another race, I’m sort of scared of the other race. Cuz we have so much conflict with them. I want someone who is a full-blooded American as president. I heard that Obama is a Muslim and his wife’s an atheist. I don’t think it’s being racist necessarily, they just […]

Unpopular Math

Today, Clinton campaign manager Terry McAuliffe said that Clinton has overcome Barack Obama in the total popular vote. Huh? Currently, Florida and Michigan don’t count (because they broke the rules), and Clinton trails by almost 700,000 votes. But Clinton claims that you can’t ignore all those voters in Florida and Michigan. Even so, if you count […]

No fiddling while Rome burns for Bush

This is another one of those stories that you just couldn’t make up. In an interview Tuesday, Bush revealed a personal way in which he has tried to acknowledge the sacrifice of soldiers and their families.  He gave up playing golf. “I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.” http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10314.html

McCain loses Bearings on Constitution

In a speech last week at Wake Forest University, McCain said the following: There is hardly a clearer principle in all the Constitution than the right of private property. There is a very clear standard in the Constitution requiring not only just compensation in the use of eminent domain, but also that private property may NOT […]

Scandalous Clinton Ad?

A Clinton political TV ad (which you can see on her website) uses an image of a supposed newspaper article with the headline “Obama attacks Clinton’s gas tax plan”.  But if you look closely at the text of the newspaper article, it is actually about Troopergate, an alleged scandal about Arkansas state troopers arranging sexual liaisons […]

Jenna Bush Wed By Obama Backer

If the Republicans claim that you can judge Barack Obama by his relationship to Rev. Wright, then what can you make of this? George W. Bush’s daughter Jenna was married on Saturday, officiated by Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell. Caldwell, a longtime religious adviser to Mr. Bush, has endorsed Barack Obama. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/11/us/11jenna.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/11/jenna-bush-wed-by-obama-b_n_101202.html

Tiptoe, through the Lobbyists

John McCain claims to be a fighter for ethics reform, but yesterday, Doug Goodyear, the man that John McCain picked to run the Republican National Convention, resigned from that post. Goodyear is CEO of lobbying firm DCI Group that has earned millions lobbying for ExxonMobil, GM, and others. But the reason he resigned is that […]

FOX goes Subliminal

From wikipedia: A subliminal message is a signal or message embedded in another medium, designed to pass below the normal limits of perception. These messages are unrecognizable by the conscious mind, but in certain situations can affect the subconscious or deeper mind and later actions or attitudes. Subliminal techniques have occasionally been used in advertising and propaganda.

Did he or Didn’t he?

First, Arianna Huffington (in an interesting article about how McCain has dramatically changed) claimed that McCain told her at a LA dinner party that he did not vote for George W. Bush in the 2000 election. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/what-john-mccain-told-me_b_100183.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/me-and-mccain-hero-worshi_b_100378.html Next, McCain denied that report, and claimed that he did indeed vote for Bush. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=176RAqennIc http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/05/05/mccain_denies_huffington_vote.html And […]
