Bush_alfred_e_newman The only thing more mind-numbing than Bush's absolute disengagement over the current (and growing) financial crisis is the steadfast, continued support of him by a small minority. Now, that's loyalty - or is it ignorance?

Let's Not Talk About Iraq

We need to stop talking about Iraq. It's not really an issue in this presidential campaign. We need to talk about everything but Iraq. Why? Because Republicans know that they have to take that issue off the table if they have prayer in hell of winning this fall.

But I'd like to talk about someone who took unilateral military action with virtually no strategic planning, using way too few troops

Will Hillary Pull a Bull Moose?

Posted by BalaamsAss in prediction marketpledged delegatesHillaryDemocratic PrimaryClinton

BalaamsAss
The Democratic nomination race is close, but Barack Obama still has the lead in both delegates and popular votes. He has been somewhat damaged by the Jeremiah Wright fracas, but not nearly as much as his right-wing critics would like. There may well be, in fact, a backlash in his favor, in the sense that the intense attacks against him would have fired up more Obama supporters than they turned

The Republican Revolution

If you are watching TV or listening to Radio, shut it off and start looking up where the candidates stand on the issues.

One thing we have, is a  race that is based on personalities, not on the issues and the things we are going to be living with for the next four to eight years. If you do see or hear some one bring up a candidate's positions, they are over ran with a slew of venom and/or

Is Reverend Wright Running for President?

Posted by BalaamsAss in ObamaDemocratic PrimarydebatesBarack ObamaBarack

BalaamsAss
 We have, as far as I know, three recognized candidates for president: Senator Clinton, Senator Obama and Senator McCain. Judging from recent radio and TV commentary, however, one would believe the Reverend J. Wright had just thrown his hat into the ring.

The Reverend's sudden political fame stems from a number of sermons (and particularly one connected with the September 11, 2001, attacks)

Bipartisan Hypocrisy

The press is all abuzz with the alleged controversy about the Democrat “delegates” from FLorida and Michigan. If you’ve been under a rock since August of 2007 here is a quick summary:

The Democrat and Republican parties have rules about when you can hold primary/caucus events for presidential candidate nomination. Additionally they have consequences for

Hillary's 3AM Phone Call

Vox Populi

"It's 3am and you're safe and asleep. But there's a phone in the White House and it's ringing. Your husband's gone AWOL. Something's happening in a motel room in Washington DC. Your vote will decide who answers that call. Whether it's someone who already knows the best lawyers in town, knows the best spin-doctors. Someone tested by her husband's previous screwups and ready to lead the damage

Obama on McCain's embrace of tax cuts for the rich

Posted by CenterLeftLiberal in Political AdsObamamyblogMcCainDemocratic PrimarydebatesBarack ObamaBarack

CenterLeftLiberal
McCain opposed both Bush tax cuts, i.e. he voted against them in the Senate, becuase he beleived they disporportinately favored the rich (so he said back then). Considering the statements made in the "Economists Statement Opposing the Bush Tax Cuts" (not the mention the near universal conclusion among most analysists that the Bush tax cuts did not help spur the growth needed to pay for them &

Why a flat tax is inherently unjust: Fair tax is 'no fair'

Posted by CenterLeftLiberal in myblogHuckabeeDemocratic Primary

CenterLeftLiberal

While reading through the economic policy proposals by Mike Huckabee, I came across the statement that a flat tax, unlike a progressive income tax, would not punish people for working hard. At first sight, but only upon first sight, does that seem plausiable. There are good reasons why the vast majority economists endorse a progressive income tax structure and would disagree with Mr. Huckabee's

Well, it looks like another victory for Barack Obama today in overwhelming fashion, so what else is new? For those of you keeping score at home, this now makes it 11 wins for Obama and 0 for Hillary since Super Tuesday. In other words, she's got him right where she wants him.

 

By winning all those meaningless caucuses and small potatoes primaries, Obama gets lulled into a false sense of security,
