  • The US Ranks 19th in the Democracy of its Political System

    The Economist Magazine publishes an annual list ranking nations based on the democracy of their political institutions. In the last ranking before 2008;s catastrophically revealing presidential election cycle, the US ranked 19th. All of the countries ranking above had uniform national laws that encouraged voter participation and minimized ...

  • 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 ...

  • Amazing that Americans Have This Discussion

    Having studied American civics in grade school and high school, and having my doubts that Bush Cheney or anyone else in our current White House similarly learned about American history, traditions, institutions and law, it continually amazes me that this Bush Cheney Presidency has run riot so egregiously. Congress? Lay down. The Courts? Lay ...

  • I Liked Ike -- Now I Like Mike - HUCKABEE, that is

    I liked everything I heard about Mike Huckabee, even before he started running in earnest for his Party's Nomination to be our next U.S. President. The more I learned about Mike Huckabee, the better I liked his candidacy. Further, he is a very well-spoken and persuasive guy, with that down-to-Earth Midwestern style I always liked about ...

  • New Vice President Poll

    It's a good thing that there are non-biased, honest polls like http://www.votenic.com. This poll is 100% non-biased, and does weekly polls for both the Election and Vice Presidents.

  • Not an utterly pointless fight

    Webb's shouldn't have been concerned about hurting Jr's feelings. His concern was for his child and his disdain for an idiot war (chief) is valid and founded. Obama and the Demos need a few more with a Webb-like background in order to add some gravitas to a light party. We could stand to learn a few leasons about not letting stupid people push ...

  • Daniel & John prophesy: Surprise! (why?)

    Who wins the 2008 election? This election is neither the cliffhanger nor the lockup that most see, but is actually somewhat dull to one who already knows. The Bible, which records the whole of human history from beginning to end, identifies in the book of Daniel one event that clearly signals the ''time of the end.'' This event and its immediate ...

  • Democratic mistake is overlooking Hillary

    I am disturbed that so many of my fellow Democrats are so quick to overlook Hillary Clinton, in favor of the mindless handover to Barrack Obama. Are we really so sure he has what it takes to win, and does he really support our ideas? It seems to me that the nomination was handed to Obama based on three factors: 1) The media announced that ...

  • Obama should quite? NOT!!!

    I don't beleive that there is any reason that Obama should quite or even be asked to quit. He is the best choice for the Democratic party and the only chance we have of beating McCain in November. Just because HRC has an agenda of her own which has no concern for either the Democratic party or the American people which stops her from pulling out ...
