Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor -- Says Roe Is "Settled Law"
All I need to know about today's U.S. Senate Nomination Hearing for Liberal New York City Feminist Sotomayor, is that she thinks the appalling pro-Abort ''Roe vs. Wade'' Supreme Court ''Decision'' of 1973, is ''Settled Law'' (her words.) Hispanic voters may be trending towards the Democratic Party side of the political ledger lately, and who ...

A classic election
I think that among all the outcry on this ''historic'' election (and I accept that in some aspects it was indeed historic) we tend to forget that in terms of electoral politics, it was just a textbook one. If anything, I am reminded of Tony Blair's victory over John Major in the UK in 1997. Obama's victory follows the basic rules of elections in a ...

A Cabinet Post for Hillary?
Hey, I'm as disappointed as any of you Hillary supporters that she isn't the nominee of the Democrats. But I'm over it and ready to look ahead. It's time to get behind Obama and get the Bush Bums out of the White House! PUMA? Get real. The only ones who are benefiting from the likes of you all are the Republicans. Nothing says ''weak'' better than ...

Is The Media Bias? Here is Evidence of Bias
How the Media Vote. Surveys of journalists’ self-reported voting habits show them backing the Democratic candidate in every presidential election since 1964, including landslide losers George McGovern, Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis. In 2004, a poll conducted by the University of Connecticut found journalists backed John Kerry over George W. ...

McCain's Unhappy Warrior
This piece says one smart thing and one stupid thing. Yes, the gas price ad was dumb, as the writer recognizes. But on this point he was dead wrong: his Surge attack was dumb too, and hence the writer's statement is dumb, because it buys into the fallacious arguments that: 1) The Surge is working, because it lowered our troops' death rate in ...

Exposing the Political Wizards as in Oz!
Karl Rove is called a ''political wizard''. However, Senator Obama will expose Rove and the GOP as Wizards (as in Oz) --illusionary figures masquerading behind a curtain of Deceit! The Republican Pretenders are skilled in rituals of smoke & mirrors. We, the American people, are tired of their trickery's and lies based on illusionary ...

I'm a Liberal and I'm damn proud of it!
Okay it’s time to put an end to it; I'm speaking of using the word Liberal like it's absolutely the worst label one can be pinned with. For those of us who call ourselves progressives, let’s vow to wear the word Liberal proudly on our lapels, the way we once did. Remember, it was John F. Kennedy who said: What do our opponents mean when they ...

Obama's rationale: Were his observations way off base?
I live in a mostly all white small American town and the frequent conversations I over here about buying and stockpiling guns and ammunition, by young and middle aged white men, makes me feel as if my life is in danger. What are so many guns for? Who are they gearing up to protect themselves from or to harm, there are very very few African ...
