Failure to Admit Blagojevich Appointee to Senate Big Mistake
Failure to Admit Illinois Governor Blagojevich's Appointee, the eminently qualified and well reputed Roland Burris, to the United States Senate will prove to be a supremely Big Mistake made by the Democratic Senate Leadership and yes, Barack Obama. News today is that the U.S. Senate will seat 59 Democratic Senators, including their Candidate ...

Re: In over his head again
It is amazing to me how quickly people come out of the woodwork to defend politicians...almost as if the really believe that there is a tooth-fairy. To question the validity of the case against the governor at this stage of the game is strange to say the least. I haven't checked, but is Shafer originally from Chicago and knows something we ...

Re: Other reasons for caution abound
Cracker:Maybe journalists are cautious after swallowing the whole yellow cake? Or maybe they're moderating because they don't want to see a potentially nuclear slug-fest between longtime enemies Pakistan and India? Or maybe they're reluctant to make Pakistan any more defensive than it is, given US incursions into its airspace? Overall, I agree ...

Hypocrite Extraordinaire
In Texas Bush executed with pleasure a born- again Christian (like himself) named Karla Fay Tucker. Her problem was she confessed totally to her heinous crime instead of lying forever, like most of them. Her crime was committed while she was on coke/booze- something Bush did a lot of once, but still refuses to admit. Even the Pope and the ...

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. ...

Makes Me Laugh -- Elites With Furrowed Brows AT LAST - -
So, the FDIC Chairman is a female children's book author from Massachusetts, who started her new job running security for our Nation's bank deposits since 2006? How fortunate for her. I am a Massachusetts/New Hampshire working guy going back to 1990, originally from the Midwest, with some college but no degree, and I have been ''getting ...

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 ...

It's not so much his Mormonism
Look, no matter what God Romney prays to his fatal liability is his chameleon record. He the poster child of the I'll-say-or-do-anything-to-be-the-president pack -and there are a few - this election. Who knows what 'epiphany' he might experience as commander in chief of the world's greatest military? Yeah, he's good-looking and charming and ...
