At the "heart" of the debate
Lithwick says: The fight playing out between the left and the right now isn't ''Did we water-board?'' We already knew we did. It is barely even ''Was it legal?'' Virtually nobody seriously argues that it was. The fight we are having in America now is ''Did it work?'' She's right. Case in point: see the lead photograph and caption in a recent ...

The Big Bailout...Ha!
There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

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. ...

Re: Bill Richardson: Obama's Vice President
Bill Richardson ran for President on a shoestring and lost most impressively, with hardly any votes despite his ballyhooed resume and months long campaigning, here in New Hampshire. He reminds me of John Connolly more than anyone else, other than maybe Ross Perot. Then, he hesitates at Bill Clinton's blandishments before endorsing Obama, waiting ...

Democrats in Congress Failed Us All 8 Years
The Democrats and Democratic Party failed to stand up for what is right for the entire eight years of the Bush / Cheney White House misrule. They gave away our American two-party system; they gave away majority rule; they gave away our civil rights and bill of rights and civil liberties; they gave away the constitutional authority of the ...

N E G L E C T E D.....C O N S T I T U E N C Y..?
For better or worse, most people vote with their pocket-book. There is a group of people in the USA who are smart, who save their money, and actually want to pay more taxes! ( No, that is NOT a typo.....we DO want to pay more taxes! ) But we can't. Not in the USA. The government won't let us. Now, who the heck am I talking about? Those ...

Why I'm an American in Exile...
On June 13th, 2007, I received a death threat from someone claiming to be a member of the US Intelligence community. What was my ''crime''? I blew the whistle on the election fraud of 2004. Why did the CIA feel threatened by this? Because I revealed how they smuggled cocaine into the US using a front company called ''Skyway Communications''. ...

How Hillary can win every state.
If Hillary champions balanced budgets and a balanced budget amendment and points out the exploding debt as a result of republican rule under Bush Jr. and Reagan, She can win every state, even Georgia.

Bush Learned His Daddy's Lesson
Let's all take a step back in time for a minute, back to 1988. George H.W. Bush, Vice President to Saint Ronnie the Actor, is running for President in his own right. Who does he select for his running mate? Some sturdy Republican warhorse, a senior Republican Senator, perhaps, who is skilled in the cut and thrust of parliamentary debate and knows ...
