Bush pushing to attack Iran

It’s clear, Bush and Cheney are insane with power and they will not stop until the destroy the GOP.
“They believe that their mission is to make sure that before they get out of office next year, either Iran is attacked or it stops its weapons program,” Hersh said.

"Under the law of war and armed conflict, necessary preparations must be made for the burial of soldiers of aggressor nations," said Maj. Gen. Mirfaisal Baqerzadeh, an Iranian officer in charge of identifying soldiers missing in…

Kucinich: ‘We went to war for the oil companies’

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, who has introduced measures to impeach George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, said Thursday that oil executives who secretly met with the vice president in 2001 should be held criminally liable for pushing an illegal war.

“Our nation's soul is stained because we went to war for the oil companies and their profits. There must be accountability not only with this Administration for its secret meetings and its open illegal warfare but also for the oil company…

Adorably Angry Blog Calls Indecision 2008 “Despicable”

Awww, a lil’ right-wing blog attacked Comedy Central’s Indecision 2008 and the Huffington Post calling them “vulgarly vindictive” and “odious” “hate-spewing leftist websites.” Blogs say the darndest things!

So it should come as no surprise that when E.D. Hill at Fox News made her “Terrorist Fist Jab” pun in jest at the Obamas using a sign that originally was simply a street gang sign - one of the proud legacies of American Black…

Buried in Senate Report: New Findings on Pre-War Deception

A previously undisclosed CIA report written in the summer of 2002 questioned the “credibility” and “truthfulness” of an Al Qaeda detainee who became a key source for the Bush administration’s claims about links between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.

Comment: Again, as usual, governing bodies and allies are trying to deflect blame, pass the buck, shift responsibility orclaim down right ignorance of the facts. We as Americans need to wake up and smell the coffee, latte, cappucino or chai…

NBC/WSJ Poll: Post-primary bump for Obama, leads 47% - 41%

Days after becoming his partys presumptive nominee and receiving an endorsement from his chief rival, Hillary Clinton, Democrat Barack Obama has opened the general election campaign with a six-point edge over Republican John McCain, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Obama leads McCain among registered voters, 47 to 41

However, Obama has a seven-point advantage (46-39) among all white women. How important is that lead? Newhouse explains that Republican candidates always expect to win white men by a substantial margin, but it is white women that…

Why the White House is Unhappy With McClellan’s Memoir

Members of the Bush staff and cabinet are displeased with the contents of former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan’s new memoir, What Happened: Inside The Bush White House And Washington’s Culture Of Deception. What in the book is raising their ire?

McClellan and counterterrorism-adviser-turned-Bush-critic Richard A. Clarke used to sit in back of room during cabinet meetings, rolling their eyes and surreptitiously passing a flask of bourbon

John McCain still can’t keep his story straight about Iraq

His campaign furiously tried to backpedal from his assertion that we are fighting the Iraq war for oil, but none of the explanations made any sense. It was a gaffe in the truest sense: McCain accidentally said what he really believes. He is having enough trouble keeping his story straight now. Just wait for the pressure of a 24×7 general election

McCain has actually addressed this question in the past, albeit indirectly. After attacking both Obama and Clinton for supporting timetables, he said that he would guarantee that our soldiers would never have to fight another war for oil in the…

The Clinton campaign is inssiting that the Democratic National Committee seat the delegates from Mars at the Democratic Party convention in Denver.

There is no Constitutional Right to Vote in the Primaries

There is no mention of political parties in the constitution!
The political parties are NOT part of the US government!

So, here I am, a (somewhat) liberal progressive in a blue state that was all set to join the democratic party when the MI democrats pulled this BS with moving up the primary. Since our dem governor and the head of the MI dem party both…

Popular Vote Poison:How Hillary’s “Math” Now Hurts the Party

Clinton has continued with one claim that could have a pernicious effect on the Democrats’ chances. While she knows that the nomination is determined by delegates, Hillary insists on falsely claiming at every opportunity that she is winning the popular vote. And she has now taken to touting the new HBO movie “Recount,” aka Florida 2000.

Americas Decline Is Largely Self-Inflicted

In a month of horrific natural disasters it’s instructive to consider what one of the biggest UNnatural disasters in memory looks like. That is the decline in America’s position in the world from where we were when George W. Bush inherited power on Jan. 20, 2001.

The issue goes way beyond Bush's decision to invade Iraq in the middle of the war in Afghanistan. U.S. government literally broke down during the Bush years. The interagency process was destroyed as Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld set up what…

USA Today ‘overlooks’ 25,000 deaths for Jenna ‘I dos’

USA Today editors, as they do every day, had to decide on its Cover Story. The death toll from the cyclone in Myanmar was approaching 25,000, a Pentagon report revealed 43,000 medically unfit troops were sent into combat, and in Russia a new president was inaugurated but the paper placed a celebrity wedding as its most important issue of the day.

Ridiculed as McPaper, but read by about two million people a day, most of whom get their daily dose from vendor boxes that look like a TV on a stand, USA Today has set the agenda for almost every newspaper in the country. Following the USA Today…

Clinton Blames Bush For Bill’s Destruction of Indiana Plant

What Clinton doesn’t tell voters is that Magnequench was originally sold to Chinese interests during her husband’s administration, which okayed the move despite concerns about national security and eventual job loss.

Clinton continued, saying, “Well, a Chinese company bought Magnequench and then they decided that they were going to move the whole company from Indiana to China. Now the president of the United States has the authority to veto that kind of a…

Supreme Court upholds photo ID law for voters

The Supreme Court ruled that states can require voters to produce photo identification without violating their constitutional rights, validating Republican-inspired voter ID laws. In a splintered 6-3 ruling, the court upheld Indiana’s strict photo ID requirement, which Democrats and civil rights groups said would deter poor, older and minorities.

The case concerned a state law, passed in 2005, that was backed by Republicans as a way to deter voter fraud. Democrats and civil rights groups opposed the law as unconstitutional and called it a thinly veiled effort to discourage elderly, poor…
