Al Gore Running As a Presidental Nominee!

Gore hasn’t mentioned much but his backers would like to try it anyway! Various sources are stating that the people who are backing Gore have been raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to draft him into the Democratic Presidential Primaries!! This has got to be unprecedented.  I don’t think anyone has gotten that much money [...]

Allied Pakistan President Sweeps Vote

According to sources (heres one) President Pervez Musharraf swept almost all of the votes necessary for him to become the continuing president for Pakistan (which is arguably our closest ally in the fight on the war on terrorism). In fact, his recent issues were stemming from his staunch support of the US (and removal of [...]

Hilary’s new Health Care Plan Cool @ first

I have to admit, when I heard that she was looking to get everyone on some sort of health plan, it sparked my interest.  Primarily because I agree with her notion that everyone does need some sort of health care (whether you want to call it socialized health care or not I really don’t care) [...]

Judge Rules Against parts of Patriot Act

The one that caused the biggest concern with the judge: Turning over Internet records for judicial review. A federal Judge recently stated that parts of the Patriot Act is unconstitutional (can we say, um YEAH!) and states that there should be court oversight when government orders are setup to have Internet providers turn over records [...]

Senator Joe Biden on Iraq

Senator Joe Biden states that the war strategy is failing and Petraeus is wrong for warning against change. According to many of the reports, Petraeus will indicate and justify the continuing effort in Iraq. I think that he may be correct as GAO stated that the had only met a few of the goals that [...]

A new report of an occupying force

A new report that was lead by a 20 panel personnel which has retired military officials and MP gave a criticizing view of the war and stated that we should be looking to leave immediately because we give the impression of a occupying force. that is definitely harsh words for war and doesn’t necessarily help [...]

Obama takes a jab at Clinton

Barack criticized his opponent Clinton about getting the country back into a divisive, special interest politics. According to him, the country will need more than a party change to get it back into shape. I think he is right to a point. I can understand his concern but I think it would be nice for [...]

Mitt might be on to somthing

I think that he may be on to something. He recently updated his idea about eliminating taxes for families who are earning less than 200k a year. He states it will benefit many of poor (or if you make 199 K a year your semi rich at least) and would encompass 95 percent of Americans. [...]

John Edwards

I have been looking intently at the three presidential hopefuls Clinton, Obama, and John Edwards. While I have been vocal of the first two I have yet to provide any input on Edwards and I think I am not the only one confused about Edwards. I think that Edwards has a very strong chance at [...]

GAO and Goals

According to reports, Iraq has only met 5 of the 18 benchmarks set by the president. Whats a laugh is that if they came from the president, I am SURE they weren’t that hard to meet. For example, like “meet with your constituents once in your term” and they still couldn’t meet the goals! It [...]
