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 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…

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…

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…

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.

********************THE — REAL — MCCAIN******************* Why women give McCain a zero! http://therealmccain.com…

As Americans, we must ask ourselves which candidate will bring about the change our country needs. In my opinion, Barack Obama is the only candidate with the judgment to move our country forward. The disastrous consequences of George W. Bush’s poor judgment over are all too apparent. Now, John McCain is offering 4 more years of Bush.

I think most of the commentors here are missing the point. McCain has consistently tried to position himself as some sort of military genius and Obama as a candidate with little to no experience in the art of war. It's a weal argument, but one…

You sure about that? Backwards luddite and GOP nominee McCain admits to not knowing how to use a computer, but one of his staffers assures the Personal Democracy Forum that he is “aware” of the internet only to be slaughtered by John Edwards’ former internet director.

Had you asked me to predict the future of technology when I was a child, never would I have imagined a device no longer than my hand that would carry 7,000 songs–my entire music collection–with me wherever I go or that a friend…

Senator Obama just took another giant step toward winning the presidency. Actually, someone who considers himself a sworn enemy of Senator Obama took the step for him. Dr. Dobson of the Focus On the Family radio program (and evangelical media empire) has aired a program in which he attacks Senator Obama, the Senator’s theology and his credentials.

I'm an middle-aged evangelical, an Obama supporter, and have listened to Dobson and read a few of his books for decades, though barely at all in the past two years or so. There is a lot of good in what Dobson has said written - for…

Last week the McCain campaign acknowledged that McCain could lose in his home state, Arizona, in November. Remarkably, the McCain campaign has yet to open an office in Arizona. The Obama campaign likewise has yet to open a state office or hire paid staff here. But Obama grassroots supporters are not waiting.

Ed Hermes reminded the crowd how important local office-holders can be, especially when it comes to issues that affect everyday lives. He is vying for one of the five seats on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, the local legislative…

The media has been hard on Obama but unbelievably light on John McCain. Facts about McCain’s private life? Nothing. McCain’s military history? Nothing (other than the P.O.W. ads McCain himself runs). McCain’s legislative history? Nothing, other than to repeat what a “maverick” he is. Any scandals in McCain’s past? Crickets chirping.

“If elected, you would not be the first man who has been held prisoner of war by an enemy, as Andrew Jackson had that distinction from his participation in the War of 1812. But you would almost assuredly be the first president who had ever…

Said Ornstein, “When you have the ability to raise the kind of money that he could raise and do it without selling your soul to spend all the time between now and the election on fundraisers, your goal is to win an election and not turn your back on the people voting.”

Nor should it be a surprise to Sen. McCain since with the Feb. '08 campaign spending reports, if not months earlier, it became readily apparent to everyone — except perhaps the Clinton and McCain campaigns — that Sen. Obama…

Cindy has plagiarized ANOTHER recipe! Theft and lying: what sort of “values” are these?

Let's look at the actual data and compare. Here's Bill Clinton's recipe: * 2-1/2 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats * 1 cup chopped walnuts * 1 cup all-purpose flour * 1 teaspoon baking soda * 1/4 teaspoon salt *…

The lobbying firm of McCain campaign manager Rick Davis acted in direct opposition to American foreign interests, which prompted a warning to McCain’s Senate office from the United States government, according to a recent New York Times article

So one of the highest, paid people in the McCain camp not only has his own lobby firm, but it was warned about going against Amercia's foreign interests and they have the temerity to ruffle their feathers over a volunteer who got a good…

An alert reader wrote in just a little while ago to let us know about something he’d spotted on Fox News Wednesday afternoon. During a segment discussing conservative attacks against Michelle Obama, the wife of presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama, the network described the former as “Obama’s baby mama.”

No need for commentary. Who can’t use a computer? Oh yeah my grandparents.

Don't you think it says alot about him as a person when he has not taken the time to learn how to use a computer. What a incredible unimaginative mind. Even his movie selection is wierd. He was asked what movie he saw this year which he liked….
