What exactly do John McCain and Barack Obama know about science? That’s what the folks behind Science Debate 2008 want to know, and to find out, they’ve developed 14 questions they sent to the candidates and hope to discuss with them at a science-only debate.

These questions SUCK ASS. I don't see anything here at all that couldn't or wouldn't be asked in a normal dull TV network moderated debate. WHERE ARE THE QUESTIONS ABOUT ACTUAL SCIENCE?!! How about “why do you think half the…

If youre taking some well-deserved rest for the Fourth of July, you are probably getting at best a day or two off around the actual holiday itself. Only in Congress could a break for the Fourth? become a vacation spanning more than a week.

Im a Democrat however I am a tax paying citizen first. Its seems the Dems are taking their political power for granted. Forclosure is not a issue to be politicized. There are lives hanging in the balance. It would be like people sick with a mass…

After fighting the G.I. Bill expansion, both Bush and McCain take credit for its passage. Bush praised five senators this morning for their leadership. One (McCain) fought against the bill and then didn’t bother to vote on it. Two (Graham and Burr) fought against the bill and voted against it. Chuck Hagel, an original sponsor, wasn’t mentioned.

Indeed, Bush praised five senators this morning for their leadership. One (McCain) fought against the bill and then didn't bother to vote on it. Two (Graham and Burr) fought against the bill and voted against it. Chuck Hagel…

as Bush acknowledged the House and Senate members who came together to support the bill, he slipped in the name of one who labored to obstruct the bill — Senator John McCain. McCain was given the same credit as those who had steered the passage of the bill from day one.

Sane and rational people don't act like that. I think that goes beyond dishonesty. Apparently Dick Cheney has been our president all of this time. I still remember at Rumfeld's departure ceremony. Bush, president of the USA began to sit…

Bill Clinton is so bitter about Barack Obama’s victory over his wife Hillary that he has told friends the Democratic nominee will have to beg for his wholehearted support.

It is so unfortunate BC has again deluded himself into believing Barack Obama or anyone for that matter is in possession of the magic bullet that will rectify the rift he created for himself in the African American community. That is the fairy…

“In a possible indication of the ruling's contents, the American archbishop who is supervising the seminary review said last week that “anyone who has engaged in homosexual activity or has strong homosexual inclinations,” should…

The grandson of Prescott, that dreamer of the 1930s, established with very little resistance that the U.S. government can kidnap, detain indefinitely on no charge, torture, and murder. The United States under Prescott Bush’s grandson adopted policies that heretofore had been considered only Nazi policies….

Actually, if you listen to the 30-minute BBC story, there is not one word of so much as speculation as to why this story is so little known. I think a clue to the answer can be found by looking into why this BBC report has not led to any U.S….

This November, for the first time, McCain’s name will appear on a national ballot. While Arizona residents know a lot about McCain’s political history, the nation, as a whole, knows relatively little. His national image is largely a fantasy created by his public relations machine. It is time now that the nation learns the facts about McCain.

not as a Senator; as our VA hospital almost closed and he did nothing,the American Legion has to lobby the state leg to get anything done. McCain is all talk. He talks secure borders, and yet the drug cartels are winning the war at the border, yes…

Citizens Rule Book is a handbook written to educate Americans regarding the rights and responsibilities of jurors in the United States. It is a compilation of quotes from founders the United States of America and select government documents, including the rights of a jury to “nullify bad law” and acquit people on trial.

The “Citizens Rule Book” had a significant role in the 1997 Idaho trials of three Christian Identity militants and members of the Idaho Militia, who identified themselves as “Phinehas Priests”. The three - Charles Barbee…

Currently, any work you produce is automatically protected under copyright law for life. The Shawn Bentley Orphan Works Act, if allowed to become law, will drastically weaken and complicate rights of individuals to pursue damages for copyright infringement. This legislation claims good intentions, yet has been drafted with dangerous loopholes.

Also, the bill does not require searches to be performed on the internet or in commercial databases. That’s a prediction of the most likely way that “reasonably diligent” searches would be carried out, and I agree…

An Australian teenager who wore a T-shirt by English extreme metal band Cradle of Filth that reads ‘Jesus is a c**t’ has been charged with offensive behaviour. Above the offensive slogan a nun is depicted masturbating. A 16-year-old was arrested on Monday for wearing the shirt and was charged with offensive behaviour.

Last week’s introduction of new federal copyright legislation ignited a firestorm with thousands of Canadians expressing genuine shock at provisions that some MPs argued would create a “police state.” As opposition to the copyright bill mounts, the most commonly asked question is “Why”?

Why, given the obvious public concern with the bill stretching back to last year, did federal Industry Minister Jim Prentice plow ahead with rules that confirm many of the public's worst fears? Why did a minority government introduce a bill…

In a last-ditch attempt to fix a surveillance bill critics say would essentially legalize President Bushs warrantless wiretapping program, Sens. Russ Feingold (D-WI) and Chris Dodd (D-CT) have promised to filibuster the bill as long as it offers telecommunications companies retroactive immunity.

“We are going to resist this bill. We are going to make sure that the procedural votes are gone through. In other words, a filibuster is requiring 60 votes to proceed to the bill, 60 votes to get cloture on the legislation. We will also,…

Elizabeth Edwards appeared on this morning’s Good Morning America to discuss the Democratic Party’s approach to universal health care.

EDWARDS: I'm going to partner with him. The idea is, we want to get to universality. We want to make certain that every American is covered. You know, the mechanism for doing that, there's going to be disagreement about what that is. I…

Oil closed at $135 a barrel on Friday - almost double the price a year ago. Sen.Obama said he would strengthen government oversight of energy traders he blames in large part for the skyrocketing price of oil. Obama singled out the “Enron loophole” allowing speculators to run up the cost of fuel by operating outside federal regulation.

Obama's campaign blamed the loophole on former Sen. Phil Gramm, a Texas Republican who serves as Republican candidate Sen. John McCain's co-chairman and economic adviser. The Obama campaign accused Gramm of inserting a provision into a…

The New York Times reports that Barack Obama, during a meeting with Democratic governors in Chicago, sat behind a previously unseen and very official-looking seal bearing his name. Featuring an eagle clutching an olive branch, the seal resembles that of the President of the United States. Above the eagle’s head is the phrase, “Vero Possumus,”

Whoever is responsible for the use of this seal and the announcement of Patty Solis Doyle coming on as VP chief of staff should be seriously ignored when they offer other suggestions. The seal is an ego symbol that plays right into the hands of…

“The bill legalizes many of the warrantless eavesdropping activities George Bush secretly and illegally ordered in 2001. Those warrantless eavesdropping powers violate core Fourth Amendment protections. And Barack Obama now supports all of it, and will vote it into law. Those are just facts.”

Last night, Greg Sargent wrote that the most infuriating aspect of what Obama did here “is that since the outset of the campaign he's seemed absolutely dead serious about changing the way foreign policy is discussed and argued about in…

Even the GOP, the media establishment and many Democrats themselves are openly mocking the claims by Pelosi and Hoyer that they “negotiated” a “bipartisan compromise.”

This whole controversy began because George Bush, in December of 2005, got caught breaking our spying laws for years. He did so because he embraced a radical and un-American theory that asserted he has the power to break all of our laws…

There were only four Republicans voting against HR2642. Texas Republican Ron Paul and Jeff Flake of Arizona both opposed the measure on conservative grounds. Both Paul and Flake are popular among fiscal conservatives. Other Republicans JOINED with Democrats to add BILLIONS to the bill that was passed last May by the Senate.

California Congresswoman and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was asked if this can be considered a failure by the Democrats. “It is the Republicans in the Senate who enable this policy, and it is the President of the United States who has…
