Both Obama and McCain have tax cuts in store for America; Obama will shift the tax burden so the vast majority of Americans will pay less and the rich closer to their fair share.Obama will let the Bush tax cuts expire (which is not the equivalent of a tax increase unless you live in Bizarro world and reason with Bizarro logic), while McCain wants to continue wasting resouces on handouts for the

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

"Change" is the central theme of the Obama campaign. However, this week, when Obama condemned Jimmy Carter's meeting with Hamas, there came the realization just how hollow his theme was. Early in his campaign, Obama declared that he would meet without preconditions America's rivals and enemies. He courageously asserted that, flying against public opinion, he would sit down with leaders such as

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

 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)

Up to today, I had begun to write off Obama's campaign. I honestly believed that he had no posssibility to weather the damage to his campaign done by Wright's comments. Then I watched his speech.

 Wow.

I was impressed with Obama's articulate manner before, but today, I must say that he truly elevated himself far above the standards that other politicians adhere to. What Obama demonstrated today,

The past week has seen the Obama campaign come across its greatest challenge yet in confronting the public uproar over statements made by Obama's spiritual guide and pastor, Jeremiah Wright. However, the core of the problem here is not the quality of Wright's statements, but the racist implications that surround these condemnations. The vast majority of Wright's assertions are not wrong, they are

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

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 &

As I watched tonight's debate between Obama and Clinton, one issue that raised my level of interest was the differing approaches that the two candidates had towards talks with Cuba. Clinton laid out a long series of preconditions that Cuba had to meet in order to earn a meeting with her, which essentially maintained the status quo. While Obama declared, and reconfirmed, his previous statement of
