Joe Lieberman Has Become the Republican Attack Dog

Wesley Clark’s remarks regarding Sen. McCain’s service record and his ability to lead are front page news.

June 30, 2008

General Wesley Clark while appearing on Face the Nation yesterday made some controversial statements regarding Sen.

Vote As if Your Child’s Life Depends On It

June 29, 2008

I was reading a magazine today and the article suggested that this year we should vote as if our child’s life depended on it. That is an interesting perspective.

Obama Supporters are Making “Hussein” a Household Name

June 29, 2008

Today in the New York Times I read an article about how young people are adopting the name “Hussein”. This is Barack Obama’s middle name. A name given to him by his Kenyan father who was a Mulim and died an atheist. Political foes on the right have used the name to reenforce the falsehood [...]

Conservatives Call Barack Obama Everything But Black

Hillary and Barack’s Awkward First Date in Unity

June 27, 2008

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama made their first joint appearance in Unity today. Critics have said they seemed uncomfortable and somewhat stilted. One pundit said they seemed like a couple that had been separated that got back together for the sake of the kids. Well in this case the kids are the Democratic party. Expectations for [...]

John McCain’s Wife Beating Joke Falls Flat

June 27, 2008

John McCain made a joke about beating his wife. It was not funny and we know he did not mean it. Years ago people laughed about beating their wives, beating their kids and even kicking the dog. But we live in the era that has been witness to the devastating effects of such behavior.  People [...]

When Did Changing Your Mind Become a Crime?

June 27, 2008

When a politician changes his mind it is called a flip-flop. If a politician ever had an opinion he should keep it and carry it to his grave. We look for our elected officials to have a rigid mindset and not deviate from his past opinions. An old saying that applies to this election season [...]
