Legal Foot Dragging Denial of Inevitable by Senate Republicn
I find the months long and continuing saga of Senate Republicans and former incumbent Norm Coleman of Minnesota, in denying a rightful U.S. Senate seat to Al Franken, both insulting and undemocratic. These Republican legal stratagems and arguments are hollow and feckless, mere tools of the impoverished and unimaginative minds of Sore Losers. In ...

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: Education is not intelligence
I agree with the starting premise of this thread. My father never went beyond the 7th grade in Europe, had to quit to help his family, came to this country and when he died had multiple businesses and owned a fair amount of real estate. He was the smartest person I have ever met, and he had little education. A friend of mine who has a ...

CNN vs WaPo vs Drudge is a 2004-era proposition
''If you could access only one home page for breaking news and chose Washingtonpost.com or CNN.com over the Drudge Report, you'd be a blockhead.'' Sherman - set the wayback machine to 2004 and that would be your choice. For breaking news this election cycle, I went to http://election.twitter.com This is the filter of the wisdom of the crowds, ...

Re: McCain and Palin BARELY graduated college!
WoW. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It's amazing that Palin even got elected GOVERNOR never mind selected as VP! No wonder she doesn't know anything and they both seem fairly, um, well, unsophisticated (to be kind). I know who I'm voting for!

Re: McCain and Palin promote RAPE...bear with me......
Also, no comment on the other accusations? McCain did make a rape joke, did criticize Obama for trying to prevent kids from being molested, Palin does advocate banning abortion in cases of INCEST and RAPE (even incest and rape of a child, she specifically answers in regard to a 15 year old girl AND her own daughter). Come on here, am I ...

Nonprofits Tracking Voting Rights Issue
Nonprofits from across the country have been tracking these issues for years, resulting in incredible research on problems with voter suppression, disenfranchisement, issues of access for disabled voters, and totally botched electronic voting experiments in the U.S. Of course accompanying all this analysis have been some pretty solid policy ...

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 ...

Worst Candidate ALWAYS Wins U.S. Elections
Looking back on United States Presidential Election History, I have concluded that the WORST Candidate ALWAYS Wins the Election for the U.S. Presidency. I could cite all the examples, such as Wendel Wilkie, Adlai Stevenson, Richard Nixon, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and George H. Walker Bush (Senior) along with George W. Bush (Junior); but you get ...
