At least, in a democracy, the will of the people must be followed. 62% of Americans now believe the Iraqi occupation was a mistake; in 1973, 60% of Americans said that the Vietnam war was a mistake. What's going to happen now? People are dying every day. Iraqis are suffereing a great loss, only to be repeated the next day. And the Democrats, swept into Congress pretty much on anti-Iraq occupation

I'm thankful for Ned Lamont. He had a message of change and decided to inject that into the 2006 mid-term elections when it wasn't popular to do so. He gave everyone hope that things can change for the better; that entrenched incumbents must face their record. Thank you Ned Lamont. You rock.I'm thankful that I'm able to bitch, moan, whine, and complain about the situation in this country. I'm a

To all my hardcore followers, I've been a little busy I'm afraid and this blog is a low on the totem pole when it comes to priority. In addition to these damn papers, I have been volunteering for the Lamont campaign on the weekends since I live so damn close.

I was almost elated when I read that the head of the British Armed Forces, General Sir Richard Dannatt, called for a withdrawal of troops from Iraq. It seems that the whole "Coalition of the Willing" is waking up to the grave mistakes that Bush Inc dragged them into. It's sad that Blair had to follow, really. Overall he seems decent but he has just been Bush's bitch all the way through and that

I am still struggling with coming to terms with this atrocious torture bill that passed both the House and the Senate last week. You would think an important bill such as this would not be ramrodded through the Congress but it was and passed, along with a few straggling fake Democrats. But, perhaps the Repukes are nervous because there's a chance that the Democrats will control the House and,

In case you haven't heard, Johnathan Tasini was beaten in the Democratic Primary by Hilliary Clinton on Tuesday. I know that was a while back but bear with me, I've been a little swamped lately. Unfortunately, in our great political system where only Democrats and Republicans can win, someone must also be rich enough to combat the filthy, corrupt corporate money machine that spews out money

Out of three possible bills, the Senate Judiciary Committee, headed by Republican Senator Arlen Specter, passed a bill that is fully supported by the White House and will be voted on sometime next week by the full Senate. This bill gives Bush Inc everything they want. It allows Bush Inc to continue to wiretap without warrants at the discretion of the Attorney General, now Alberto "Torture"

Mister Tony Blair, the lap dog of Bush Inc, is in quite a pickle. He dragged the people of Britain into the Iraq debacle and goes along with whatever Bush says. "Bush is Crap" sums it up pretty well. Many within Labour are upset and have been upset for quite some time. Labour only got another shot because it was promised that Blair would step down eventually. Well it seems that his time may be

The unconstitutional NSA "terra-ists surveillance program" ruling by Judge Anna Diggs Taylor has been a bit scarce in the M$M now. I've been reading the papers and watching the local / national M$M and have seen coverage on everything except this violation of the Constitution. This character John Mark Karr seems to have dominated the M$M; it's almost reminiscent of the Michael Jackson trial. The

I really feel bad for the Brits. Bush has used and manipulated them and Bushbot Blair Co just goes along with it. They followed Bush Inc into the Iraq "war" debacle and now has joined them with the Lebanon bombing. Oh gee, great ceasefire guys even if it's three weeks late and everything is bombed into oblivion.

Connecticut has sent a strong and clear message to all the incumbents who undermine their constituents' views: represent your constituents or you shall face a primary. Connecticut voted to have Mr. Ned Lamont as their Democratic nominee in a vote of 51.78% to 48.22%. This was perceived as an almost impossible feat; surely an entrenched career politician couldn't be beaten by a "no-name". I've

The escalating situation in the Middle East seems to be getting worse with each passing day. Today 34 children were killed by an Israeli air raid on Qana, a Lebanese village suspected to be packed full of Hezbollah fighters. They were half correct though; the village was home to a rocket-launching site used by Hezbollah but it was in no way connected to a four-story building housing children and

If you are visiting my humble blog, then I'm sure you don't want to read about what I think about this or that concerning the situation in the Middle East (at least not just yet). This entry is a reminder that we all exist in this democracy and have no excuse to sit back and watch the "end times" (as the fundamentalists would have you believe).Six months ago, it looked like Senator Lieberman of

If you ask me whom I fear the most, Cuba won't be one of the nations that I will list. Yet, since Bush Inc has nothing better to do, America has to stick its smelly snout in Cuban affairs to plan for regime change when Castro dies. I think the motivation is to "support" and pro-America, pro-profit puppet in Cuba under the guise of "Freedom and Democracy". Now, for the record, the Castro regime

The recent report that the CIA closed the Bin Laden division just adds icing on the cake. It's amazing that we (meaning Bush Inc / US) cannot find this jackass with all of our sophisticated technology. This was the guy who took direct responsibility for the attacks on 9/11 (believe what you want) and is the head of an organization that is determined to kill Americans for their ideology. It seems

The MSM sucks ass period. Papers like the New Yorks Times have become an embarrassment because of the likes of Judith Miller and that gang. They did, however, publish the NSA wiretapping fake-"terra-ist" surveillance program even though they sat on it for a year at the request of the Bush White House thugs. But I'll take what I can squeeze out of the so-called "liberal" New York Times. You and I

With the election year in full swing now, the corrupt right-wing bastards are pulling straws so they can energize their base. Immigration was kind of luke warm and same-sex marriage was so-so. What's better than slamming down a bill that would require a troop withdrawal? Like the speeches in the House, the nasty right-wing sickos kept talking about "terra" and the "cut-and-run" strategy put forth

Well the anti-gay amendment did not fly over to well and the immigration issue turned out to be luke-warm. The next best thing is to prop up a fake troop withdrawal bill, debate it knowing it will fail, then portray Democrats, liberals, and progressives as "weak on 'terra'". If there is one thing I loathe of these filthy pigs it is this: using the blood of our brave as a political loaf of bread.

Al-Zarqawi may be long dead not but as far as the local MSM is concerned (local MSM sucks ass), this brings the end of the “War on Terra” in sight. Why the most sophisticated army in the word can’t capture these jackasses is beyond me, because now what’s going to happen is martyrdom. The followers of Al-Zarqawi are dedicated jihadists (hello to the NSA officials who scan blogs for certain key

There are many spineless, cowardly Democrats who constantly stand up with the Repukes instead of us, the people whom they represent. These sick bastards are part of the problem you see. They allowed A-LIE-Toe to get through with all his baggage and now the shift of the Supreme Court favors Bush Inc rather than the Constitution. Take, for example, this office raid of William Jefferson. You think

Condi Rice is the worst person out of Bush Inc in my opinion. They’re all bad though, which isn’t saying much, but every time they prop Rice up on a teevee screen, I shiver and close my eyes. Now all this hype over Iran is just that: hype. Iran is as much of a threat to the U.S. as Antarctica. Iran wouldn’t dare drop the A-Bomb on Israel let alone US bases in other countries.

According to a few news articles I have stumbled upon, it looks like a few papers are “speculating” that Straw was forced out due to his outspokenness to military action against Iran. If true, it would bring our country’s filthy face to a new low. It also proves that Blair is a horrible example of a leader and is owned by Bush Inc.If you are a regular reader of this blog, you already know my

I remember the national British elections in May 2005 and the, at the time, explosive Downing Street Memo (DSM) that was leaked which only furthered my bitterness for Blair and the cabal. While I don’t want to see the United Kingdom handed over to the pro-war Torries, it would be nice to see Blair and Co disappear into the night, never to be heard from again.

Romano Prodi appears to have won a very close election in Italy and inched closer to the position of Prime Minister when the high court sided with Prodi. This is another sad demonstration in a democracy and we see Bush’s buddy, Berlusconi, refuse to concede and drag the whole country though this embarrassing spectacle. Did Bush phone Prodi and congratulate him?Several world leaders, including

In this article I read recently, some jackass said that Iran would have nuclear weapons within 16 days. That’s a huge difference from the original estimate of five to ten years. The scare tactics are in full motion now; Iran is becoming the new enemy. I now believe (at least today) that Iran will be attacked. It’ll happen in 2007, after the “elections”, and they will use Iran and “national

The new wedge issue that has emerged can only come from the likes of KKKarl Rove. Before it was abortion, in 2004 it was two guys and a wedding cake; now it's "those immigrants!".

A year ago today, Terri Schiavo died in the hospice in Florida. A year ago this was the top story almost every night. People immersed themselves as if this were a real-life soap. The religious extremists were out in full force and rioted in front of that tiny hospice. It morphed into a battle between the supporters of Michael Schiavo and those of the Schindlers.

The founder of CNN seems to have some harsh words for his once-owned company. Ever since CNN merged with TimeWarner, they have disappeared into the abyss known as the Main Stream Media (MSM for short). Now they parrot the latest talking-points from our "leader" and rerun stories about missing white girls while they show little attention, if that, to the agenda of Bush Inc. Along with his regret

Lately there has been much commotion about those Democrats who undercut the general message of the “base”. Unlike the RRW (rabid right-wing), the Dems get all ruffled up and are concerned about hurting this person or that and forget their base and join the hands of the “center-right”. A prime example is the Alito-Buster; here is someone that should have been stopped but was granted passage

There’s always the debate among conservatives about how the media is too “liberal”. One of the things they point to is the death and destruction that is focused on in Iraq. A popular talking-point is that the media should be “focused on the rebuilding efforts”, “schools” etc. First off, just because the media is focusing on the death in Iraq doesn’t make it “liberal” – people have to know the how

Anti-war protests are great. You meet some great people and you really start to feel like you’re part of a community of like-minded individuals who are fed up with BUSH INC! Tonight’s protest was a single candle-light vigil accompanied with the readings of those who have perished. It was quite poignant, after reading about the civil-war that’s going on, to hear these names of the youths and know

Most of our Democrats elected are in, what I like that call, the House of Cards. They are spineless bitches who are worse than the entire right-wing in my opinion because they are enabling this murderous Bush Inc empire. They refuse to question this bastard on every little thing out of fear of “stomping on any toes”. Damn every single one of them. For me, I lost it with the whole Alito-Buster

I’m of course referring to her latest speech she gave at Georgetown University. First off, I really have little sympathy for her in this area because she did help Bush Inc get into office. To her credit though I don’t think anybody, myself included, could anticipate what Bush Inc was capable of. I mean, all of this, who could image?!Ms O'Connor took aim at Republican leaders whose repeated

On ABC’s “This Week”, Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin has announced that he will sponsor a censure against the leader of Bush Inc, Bush. Feingold has always been somewhat of a renegade in this age of Bush. He was the only Senator to vote against the U.S. Fascist Act, he voted ney and is strongly against the Iraq-“war”. His other peers seem to be more worried about politics than the fate of

Recently, I’ve been experiencing queasiness whenever I’m forced to associate with a Republican. I get all tingly and my stomach starts to churn; thinking back, perhaps this isn’t a bad idea if that offending Republican were standing in front of me. Beside the point, I’ve decided to purge my inner circle (which is, admittingly, tiny as it is) of all Bush-loving, gay-bashing, Iraq-loving ‘Pukes.

One of my fondest memories is when I would escape to the highest point in town, which was right down the street, and spend countless hours just watching the cosmos.I’ve been keeping an eye on the Cassini mission since its launch in 1997. Hard to believe that it was launched way back when but I remember being excited about the fact that I

When it comes to the 9/11 attacks, one usually falls into one of three camps: It Happened On Purpose, [Bush Inc] Made It Happen On Purpose or the official “cover” story that we’ve been told.This takes to me the port “situation” that is in the news right now. Ordinarily, this wouldn’t mean crap. I mean, the Red Chinese own dozens of ports in Los Angeles along with other countries. What makes this

I wanted to further expand on my point from my last post because I don’t feel as if I properly illustrated my point. As most of you already know, Yahoo and MSN happily handed over records to the Department of Justice. This past week, these rotten bastards sat there while “our” Representatives grilled them, not for handing over search records of American citizens, but complying with the Chinese

Oh man, Condi Rice is at it again. Now I can't stand this woman; out of the entire Bush criminal empire, she has to be close to the top. Point made, she makes me sick. Today she testified in front of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and was talking trash. It seems that Condi is out of the loop; she wants, vows, to spread “freedom and democracy” across the Middle East. Hmmm, she must have

Iran is the new enemy of Bush Inc right now. We must remember that they are part of the “Axis of Evil”. Why all this fuss over Iran though? While it is true that they are developing nuclear power (believe what you want), it would take at least five plus years to develop an actual weapon. I don’t think Iran should have nuclear weapons and the United States shouldn’t either. China, Pakistan and

Oh I forgot, you were “rejected” by the extreme RW of the Republican Party. As soon as you were “told” to prance around and give us the illusion that you’ll go all the way with this, your nomination gets killed, squashed and destroyed. Lets forget for a moment that Orin Hatch was consulted by Bill Clinton (I know, he’s evil) and produced Justices Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Steven Breyer. Lets forget

The alumni of UCLA have started up a campaign to track, bound and kill “'Radical' Faculty”.

This was a case I’ve been following since it was introduced to the Supreme Court. My thoughts still haven’t changed; this is a good thing for the people of Oregon and hopefully more states can look into this and introduce legislation. There are a few tidbits in this particular case that I haven’t seen addressed by the MSM. The first being that the new, esteemed Chief Justice Roberts kind of did a

Al Gore’s speech today was not only inspiring but also laid out a map of ideas that we the people need to follow. Today, the average American depends on a quick thirty-minute smear advertisement as their primary source of information. It’s almost sad that people in our society have developed an apathetic attitude against our political system. Listening to Gore’s speech today not only inspired me

The year is 1987. The Reagan administration is in power and the Soviet Union is in existence. Reagan made his famous "tear down this wall" speech at the Brandenburg Gate challenging the Soviet Union. Ollie North testifies in front of Congress telling them that he assumed Reagan knew that funds were were diverted to the Contras; documents that proved this were destroyed. And then it happened:

What the hell is going on? I don't know what the country is coming to when the Department of Justice opens a case to investigate the leaker and not the thugs who support this measure. Oh it's so sick. PEOPLE HAVE TO KNOW THIS! 9/11 doesn't give this administration the excuse to stomp all over our rights in the name or "fighting terror" or "safety".

So Ahmed Chalabi, what a piece of work eh? Since he did poorly in the elections, he's now in charge of the oil ministry. This guy is a fraud, a faker, and of course he's Bush Inc's man to help them and their interests in Iraq.

As most of you know, Bush Inc has admitted to the fact that he authorized wiretaps without getting a courts approval. I was watching Meet the Press a little bit on Sunday and there was Condi chastising the New York Time for the story! This policy isn't right just because they want to hunt down terrorists. It's a basic right that they get a court order because if they didn't, well, they would be

The insanity never ends huh? Have you seen Bush's desperate speech on Sunday? I'll be honest, I haven't. I seen clips though and he was really desperate there. I didn't hear anything about an exit plan and how we plan to pay for the war reaching a half-trillion dollars! What I did hear: the same old talking points about success, victory, "terror" and we will not be defeated bull. So I'm going to

Well, the filibuster has survived...awesome success. Check out the roll call and see how your Senators voted so you can either thank them or rebuke them. The vote tally was 52-47 with one not voting. One odd thing was Frist's vote, which was nay. Hey, one more for our side right? God I can't stand Frist; I thought he was going to pull out the "nuclear option" out of his magic doctor's bag. It is

I'm so glad this is the last PR speech on Iraq. Today he made his "speech" at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. What a total load of BS and, like before, he didn't offer anything. Just like in his last BS speech, he got to 9/11 right away. Here are some quotes and I'll rant on them after:September 11, 2001, our nation awoke to a sudden attack, and we accepted new

Oh man, here we go, did you hear this pathetic drivel? Let's see, it took him about thirty seconds to get to 9/11. I hope, oh I hope, people understand that Iraq and 9/11 had nothing to do with each other. I don't care how many times Bush says it, it doesn't make it true!

Frist was on "FOX News Sunday" and said that "he is prepared to strip Democrats of their to ability to filibuster if they try to stall Samuel Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court".

Massachusetts may have its issues, but I have to admire what's going on over there. So I was kind of upset to read that opponents of gay marriage delivered a petition with 170,000 signatures favoring a ballot question that would ban same-sex marriage. These people will not stop at injecting their ideology into society. I've spoken with people who favor the same sex and they just want to be

Why is Saddam's "trial" being rushed while there are suicide bombers a few hundred feet away? Of course this is a rhetorical question. This sham of a trial is getting more attention than the situation in Iraq! This should make America's ears perk up: the U.N. says that the trial will "never satisfy international standards". That's comforting to hear. Instead of actually doing something correctly,

It's refreshing to see some members of the Democratic Party stand up to these thugs. From Nancy Pelosi:"We should follow the lead of Congressman John Murtha, who has put forth a plan to make American safer, to make our military stronger and to make Iraq more stable," Pelosi said. "That is what the American people and our troops deserve."This is a positive development and it is quite encouraging

Oh man, holy smokes, what a freakin' speech! Let me tell you what I didn't hear: a set timetable for a pullout, definite withdrawal plans, acknowledgement towards the Senate defense bill amendment and no willingness to work towards a solution with the "other side". This is what I heard instead: liberation, toppling an evil regime, Saddam, freedom and democracy, liberation again, and that Iraq

With support for the war shrinking, and support for the President himself, we get to look forward to a speech on Wednesday or thereabouts. I wonder what it's going to be this time? Perhaps it'll be how many Iraqis boots there are fighting and how our military rocks. Who knows, maybe he'll even compare terrorists to Communism! Hopefully a timetable will be detailed since the Iraqis even asked us

What a situation! What a situation... Okay, so what happened? As most of you already know, Representative John Murtha (D-PA) called for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq calling it "a flawed policy wrapped in illusion". This comes from a whole host of issues. The President's approval is around 37%, support for the war is dwindling and the Senate just passed a amendment requiring

The GOP lead House plans to force a quick vote on an immediate Iraq withdrawal forcing the Democrats to vote on a controversial issue. For more background information, read the previous post on Murtha. The vote is to be held between 5:45 - 7:45 PM.Call your Congressman and let them know what you think!Congress.orgMore updates to follow...

I've been in a foul mood ever since I read about the reports confirming that white phosphorus has been used in Falluja. At first, I was hoping that these were false but then I started to see coverage in the mass media. Despite the circumstances, I'm glad the media is covering these sickening events. The most ironic thing is that we got rid of Saddam because he was using chemical weapons against

Shrub made a stop to Alaska to convince folks that this war is just. It's really a continuation of that pathetic speech he made on Veteran's Day. Remember when he went on vacation while on vacation to Idaho to sign that highway bill ?(which was stock full of pork) He kept comparing Iraq to WWII; it's totally disgraceful. And they say we're sending the wrong message to the troops when we want

Did you see the Bush speech today? Oh my god, I had to turn it off; this guy is so full of it. After, I watched an analysis on Blitzer's "Situation Room", you most likely know it as the show with a dozen screens behind him. I don't know which one was worse, the speech or the analysis? Some guy from the White House was interviewed and actually attacked Kerry on his "no" vote for body-armor that

Sorry the update has taken a bit. I thought if I threw myself into school/work I can kind of remain somewhat sane. Yeah it doesn't work, there's so much going on.ANWR has been scrapped from the budget bill after moderate conservatives said that they would oppose the bill with the ANWR provision. This is good news, something I don't regret reading. It's really unfortunate that people on both sides

Before I get into it, I just wanted to correct what I wrote about DeLay. From what I've read, the Republican judge wasn't assigned to the trial but, instead, assigned to choose a new judge. If I'm wrong about it leave a comment saying so.Bush insists that the U.S. doesn't torture, grreeeeat! Don't believe that for a second. This is the same guy who also says that there's a connection between Iraq

DeLay first complains about the judge assigned to his case because of contributions made to MoveOn.org (and made the false claim that they were selling DeLay t-shirts), so he gets a new, Republican, judge. The Earle makes note that this judge also contributed to Republican campaigns! So the chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court appoints Democrat judge Pat Priest. Wonder what will be wrong with

I heard about Reid calling for a closed session today. Wow, the Democrats actually stood up to the Repugs. It's about time, that only took about two years. Bush and the crew knew this war cannot be justified without manipulating the data and destroyed anybody who tried to interfere (such as leaking the identity of a CIA agent whose husband happens to disagree with policy). Look at the White House

I tried to take a few days off and focus on my life but I couldn't; there's so much going on today. No doubt you heard the good news today, Alito!!! Often called "Scalito" by his close associates because of the uncanny resemblance to Scalia. People I spoken with seemed to be a bit surprised...why? I mean, you seen this coming, right? I know I did. Looks like the Repugs will get their fight and

Libby has been indicted on five counts: 2 counts of perjury, 1 count of obstruction of justice and 1 count of making a false statement. Rove is still under "investigation" which means that he's not off the hook yet but most likely will not be indicted. Not too surprised, Libby was always in the crosshair so to speak. Rove I'm a little surprised about but when I think about I guess it's a good

Wow, two posts in one day - it's unprecedented! Like nominating someone to the SCOTUS who isn't a judge - totally unprecedented!!! No, not unprecedented. Odd, strange, not smart maybe but not unprecendented.If it isn't obvious what I want to talk about, it's the record breaking profits that the oil industry topped. $10 billion, BILLION! Not million, B-I-L-L-I-O-N! I can't even fathom one million!

Hello everybody, welcome to it! I'm sure all of you have heard about the withdrawal of SCOTUS nominee Harriet Miers so I'm not going to get into the details. Checked out the news though, it's the "flavor of the day" so to speak. Rightly so though, this is news. It seemed to me that she was a conservative but chosen purposely because she is lacking a paper trail. That's why I was kind of surprised

I found this article interesting. Basically it talks about this situation with Syria now. Watch out folks, this is serious stuff. Of course the media doesn't cover it. I had to listen to Hurricane Wilma over a dozen times. Turned on CNN and, again, Wilma was mentioned. MSNBC? Yup, Wilma yet again. I'm not saying that Wilma isn't news; I just don't think it deserves all this press when there are

This news about Syria is a tad distressing. Is anybody worried about this? I must say, I wasn't concerned about this until recently. We're determined in this "mission"; there's no doubt in my mind that some sort of attack will be made with Syria AND Iran. Check out the press briefings at WhiteHouse.gov.What a mess it would be if Miers doesn't get confirmed. According to Chuck Schumer, Miers lacks

Wilma is now dominating the news. Last night, on the local news, a meteorologist was questioned about the storm and what's going to happen. The usual nonsense. Fifteen minutes of hurricane coverage then you have the entertainment segment, "world in a minute" - which is always *cough* informative - and sports. I received no news the is actually important. Before I continue, Wilma in important;

IF you viewed Frontline's The Torture Question you know what's already going on; here's a good article on it. Very good program that details the torture abuse. Check it out on the web, you can view it online. Of course, Frontline is part of the "liberal media" conspiracy. People have to know what's going on. People have to know the deaths of both soldiers and civilians. Calling it a conspiracy is

THE new bankruptcy bill takes effect this Monday. I'm still disappointed in that; I was hoping that there wouldn't be enough support. Someone who is in debt because they can't pay their medical bills (because of a crippling health-care system) now has to pay them back "no matter what". There's no escape, no light at the end of the tunnel. The credit card companies too with their thirty percent

Well, hello everybody. Sorry about the update taking a while; I'm just a simple college student. So without being preachy, let's have at it!!Schroeder recently said that "Hurricane Katrina showed what happened when a state neglected its duty". Bet Bush is glad that Merkel will be taking over. Of course she supports the war (Schroeder didn't and was outspoken about it) so that's another person on

I didn't even bother to listen to the televised news today. Chances are that it's the usual nonsense.The House has passed a bill, 212-210, that would encourage construction of new refineries, wonderful! I'm not even surprised about this bill; that's the same old, same old, right? The point of this? Well, the vote was opened for fifty minutes instead of five so Republicans could convince two of

Hello folks, sorry the update took a bit. I've been running around with school and all.Today I wanted to speak about the "right-to-die" issue since that has been getting a lot of attention more so than Iran, Iraq, China, North Korea, Rove...you know, the usual nonsense when it comes to the "liberal media".Back to the topic: I fully support right-to-die.

WANTED to talk a little bit about Harriet Miers, the nominee to the SCOTUS. I'm already tired of listening to the Democrats say that this is "unprecedented" and "never before in American history...". It has been done in American history, get with it. So I took it upon myself to do a little research and found out that Lewis Powell, Arthur Goldberg, Byron White, Earl Warren, Abe Fortas, James "

QUITE a few things to rant about today. First I want to get into DeLay and Robertson. Now you know how I feel about Robertson; he is another political pundit that uses religion to control his puppets. He actually called for the assassination of a leader of a country...and gets away. I demand retribution but I know my demands fall on deaf ears. I don't care what he does, Democrat or Republican,

BLASTS in Iraq kill 10 in Iraq today. Most of these attacks are aimed at stopping the October referendum. Now, as you may already know, the Sunnis plan to vote against the constitution. If they succeed then the constitution will be scrapped; if they don't then they will be living under a constitution that they don't support.

Hello everybody,Where shall I begin? Bennett, a conservative commentator, recently said something charming: "if you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose -- you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down." Yeah, real nice. And of course, the Democrats are demanding his show to be pulled which raises another interesting point.

Well, I was watching the news last night, for a laugh, and of course they were talking about DeLay. At the end of the report the reporter said "the prosecutor is a Democrat". That's it, that's what they ended with! Traditionally the indictment is weaker than a case; just because someone is indicted doesn't mean that they are guilty. It just means that there is enough evidence to have a full-blown

NOTE: I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE WAR BUT HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR OUR TROOPS. THIS IS INFORMATION THAT PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW; IT IS NOT A "LIBERAL CONSPIRACY"!Apparently some of the U.S. troops traded pictures of dead Iraqis in exchange for access to a pornographic website.

Hello everybody,Where shall I begin? Sometimes it's just way to comical...if it wasn't real! Britain's Jack Straw says that war with Iran is not on the agenda. Remember when they said that about Iraq? That "we're working through all diplomatic routes"; look what's going on today. A woman suicide bomber has attacked a recruiting center, great!

Have you heard Bush decree that we should only drive when necessary? Yeah, that was in his latest address. Of course it's all talk, I mean, is it really necessary to tour Louisiana, head back to Washington, then head back to Louisiana?
