What gives anyone to the right to question wheather someone is a patriot?

Now there is something wrong if you don’t follow the party line, if you don’t shake hands the right way, if you’re not wearing a flag pin, or whatever the patriotic note of the day is. That my friends (Stole that…

I want to take this opportunity to speak directly to those of you who oppose my decision to support the FISA compromise.

Chill on the constitutional arguments against immunity, they are baseless, and stand in opposition to a centuries worth of law. We indemnify government workers all the time — we indemnify agents working for the government all the time…

One of the reasons John McCain says he is touring Colombia and Mexico this week is to underscore the importance of the “War on Drugs.” Just as McCain wants to continue Bush’s failed policies in the “War on Terror,” he wants to continue Bush’s failed policies in the “War on Drugs” as well.

The 'war on drugs' is in fact a pre runner to the 'war on terrorism' ..at its core (if the values of 'freedom, liberty and the persuit of happiness' actually mean ANYTHING ) Anti American … open license to…

One more reason to vote for Obama!

You guys can be so cold! Stephen should be the only Baldwin who packs to go. Alec, Daniel and Adam are still willing Americans fighting it out like the rest of us. You know how it is when you have a family member who is kinda special….I'm…

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…

General Clark did not attack McCains Military record as the media has been blathering about all day long..He questioned the relevance of being shot down and taken prisoner as being a qualifier to be President of the United States…get it right MSM>..

On October 27, 1967, four days after being shot down, McCain called for a North Vietnamese guard. He told the officer, “O.K., I'll give you military information if you will take me to the hospital.” -U.S. News and World Report,…

Arianna Huffington: “I can unequivocally say: the Obama campaign is making a very serious mistake. Tacking to the center is a losing strategy. And don’t let the latest head-to-head poll numbers lull you the way they lulled Clinton in December. Running to the middle in an attempt to attract undecided swing voters didn’t work for Al Gore in 2000.”

I think Obama has always been the most moderate of the Democratic candidates. I'm not sure that he is leaning so much to the middle. It is interesting, HIllary Clinton has always been more moderate than the extremists on either end wanted her…

McCain publicly deplored the Swift Boat ads back in 2004, saying they were reminiscent of the smear campaigns launched against him during his initial White House run in 2000.

You now have TWO choices for president: The first one has one of the longest lines of political experience in history. He is exceedingly popular in congress. He was a soldier who volunteered to defend the United States in the Navy. The second one…

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…

Fox News recently reclaimed its top spot. But it shouldn’t rest easy, because its rivals are are closing in. The back-and-forth these last few months masks a more ominous trend for Fox News, particularly as its gears up to cover the general election campaign. Competitors are adding viewers at dramatic rates.

I got cable when my sons were growing up because we had a rule — after three cuss words, they had to change the channel. We quickly ran out of channels. My husband and I don't watch that much TV, but I always kept cable just for CNN….

I want to point out that Barack Obama told me that progressive activists should judge him explicitly by what he does - and not come up with wild theories that absolve him. Those who think they are being Obama loyalists by either concocting apologist rationales about his behavior or telling everyone to shut up are harming the progressive movement.

Fine blog: careful, sensitive, nuanced and progressive. I have seen my share of leftist and progressive groups fall on their faces because 1) they have split the finest hairs of orthodoxy; gatekeepers for each ideological stripe determine…

Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran according to current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources. These operations, for which the President sought up to four hundred million dollars, were described in a Presidential Finding signed by Bush.

You have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about, when you say, “we've passed the tipping point on oil production”, or that “supply outweighs demand”. It is true that more drilling will not bring prices down….

McCain gave a speech at the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials’ 25th annual conference today, in an effort to court a key, swing-voting constituency. McCain’s speech, however, was interrupted at least three times by protesters.

Republicans have class? are you kidding me, in what bubble have you been living in the last 8 years, in any case they love wars, take our money and spend it effortless, they lie again and again, clearly there priorities is not in tune with the…

Is Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr gaining steam? His new campaign ad is growing in popularity among the internet community. Many suggest that Bob Barr will play the role of Ralph Nader among the Republicans, as a spoiler.

Is that an Arcade Fire song in the background? From the Wikipedia article about the band: “Win Butler has been a vocal supporter of Barack Obama since the end of the New Hampshire Primary. Arcade Fire performed two free concerts for Obama in…

Has not paid taxes is four years on one of his many houses throughout the country. Highly embarrassing.

What does Bill Clinton want? Barack Obama quickly determined what Hillary Clinton wants in the aftermath of defeat:a major role in the general election campaign, a star turn at the convention, help with her debt, and Obama’s support for elected officials who backed her. “Bill is more complex. He wants respect, absolution and love

No Bill . . . it's NOT your party . . . not anymore!! You have become a pathetic, whining, loser. Wasn't it you who said that politics was like a contact sport and if you can't take a hit don't put on the uniform or step on the…

Norquist dropped by The Times’ Washington bureau today and, as part of his negative critique of Obama’s liberal stances on economic issues and other matters, he termed the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee “John Kerry with a tan.”

In 1997, Norquist and lawyer David Safavian founded a lobbying firm, the Merritt Group, later renamed Janus-Merritt Strategies (sometimes referred to as “Janus Merritt” or simply “Janus”). Over the next five years,…

One time opponent of the GI bill, Presidential candidate John McCain, has now taken credit and expressed approval of the bill at a recent town hall event in Warren, Ohio.

My son will live a lifetime in which he knows an African-American can ascend to the highest levels in this country. He won’t think it odd for a black man to seek to lead a nation. He as well as many white, Asian, Hispanic and other…

In a speech on climate change in Florida, the California governor diverged from his prepared remarks to blast supporters of offshore drilling.
America is so addicted to oil that it will take years to ween ourselves from it. To look for new ways to feed our addiction is not the answer.

I've admired Arnold for his dare to be different than your typical Repugs. I really enjoyed hearing his speech on Global Warming from Jan 9 2007 (video)…
