And of course, as Bush supporters would argue, it’s [...]

How President Bush ‘felt’

May 28th, 2008 · 3 Comments

Check out < href="http://www.truthout.org/video/kieth-olbermann-of-war-and-golf">this video from ‘Countdown with Keith Olbermann’ (via Truth Out- he highlights part of an interview with our President, who seems undeniably un-presidential when it comes to explaining his pre-war arguments for invading Iraq.

Robert Gates Wants to Appease the Terrorists

May 22nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

McCain and Bush have been traveling around trumpeting that Barak Obama wants to hold the hands of terrorists and appease them rather than deal with them in the way a ‘real man’ would.

May 21st, 2008 · 3 Comments

The fact that many Americans, including myself, will likely not take major vacations anytime soon, will influence the 2008 elections more so than flag lapel pins- the price of oil and gas, airlines cutting flights and the increase in food prices (again related to the price of oil and gas) hit Americans where it hurts [...]

Women and Power

May 21st, 2008 · 3 Comments

Lets be honest, if you are a woman who has a position of power and are willing to play hardball with the boys, you will be described as abrasive, unfeminine, a bitch, a dyke and emasculating. It’s a double standard that has been around for decades.

Class Act

May 21st, 2008 · 3 Comments

Only democrats commit adultery, only democrats are gay, only democrats lack ethics, only democrats are mean and corrupt and hate God and people of faith.
