Well it appears to be nothing more than an actual death sentence to members of Saddam’s party. DDay explains: Essentially, this law forces a Baath Party member who wants a job in the government to appear before a judiciary board in public view and announce that they are an ex-Baathist, in a time where Shiite […]
This will be an interesting case to watch The Supreme Court announced yesterday that it will review the constitutionality of the so-called Millionaires’ Amendment, which allows opponents of some self-funded congressional candidates to raise more money than federal law normally allows. The court’s decision would come in time to affect the 2008 congressional campaigns. The […]
No – not for President, but I am supporting him in this: Talking Points Memo’s Greg Sargent is reporting today that the Romney campaign has fired a broadside at Fox News, which issued a directive in the wake of John McCain’s “Woodstock ad” forbidding the use of their footage for campaign advertisements. Yes candidates should […]
And let them die in Iraq! That should be the new slogan of the GOP. They did another filibuster on Boxer’s resolution condemning any ad against military people (past or present), yet the measure condemning MoveOn’s ad passed. Considering the GOP blocks any measure that would help the troops as a whole, or even give […]
I read the first paragraph of this AP article and my head started spinning: Republicans dismissed as political theater a Democratic plan for an all-night session of the Senate to debate President Bush’s military strategy in Iraq amid bipartisan proposals to redeploy U.S. troops.

He stated, “I’m not afraid, but I have to watch the army, because those still loyal to the […]
I have raised this question before; why does Diebold choose Microsoft for their voting machines over Linux? Linux is much more secure, much more customizable, and, possibly the biggest reason, much cheaper (Linux is free). We find this week that this question still needs to be raised: Problems found in an audit of Diebold tabulation […]
This video proves that the university is an absolute enemy of democracy. Would you want your kids going there? I suggest people head over to the BYU website and ask Cecil Samuelson, the university’s president, why he is so afraid of free speech and feels the need to hinder it. Only 18% of the people […]
I have been fuming over this one for the past week. The Mitt Romney flack over him being a hunter has exposed a bigger problem in our political system. It doesn’t matter if he hunted 2 times or 1000 times or if he has killed 2 rabbits or killed enough to put them on the […]
Today’s New York Times has a look at a newly released report on voter fraud that is very interesting. It appears that a lot of politics may have gone into this report to change the outcome, and the final report was approved by the 2 Republicans and 1 Democrat on the commission. A federal panel […]
