I have ignored the whole Jerome Corsi smear campaign against Obama. It is just another perfect example of how the Republican base wants to destroy the discourse of American politics. Now I must throw myself into this smut filled debate to pose a question. If Corsi is right about Obama, then is he also right […]
So I ended up watching the Saddleback forum last night. I wasn’t sure if I would or not. To me this was a rather large insult against our nation and founding fathers, a view shared by even people of very deep faith. So what did I think? Well it wasn’t bad. I liked the format, […]
The Constitutional damage of George W. Bush continues: The Justice Department has proposed a new domestic spying measure that would make it easier for state and local police to collect intelligence about Americans, share the sensitive data with federal agencies and retain it for at least 10 years.

“Buy American, Vote Obama” is the new theme that the Obama campaign is rolling out in Pennsylvania this weekend. I am glad to see the return of “Buy American” in our political discussion.

John McCain yesterday: Earlier Thursday, McCain, who has contended that Obama is willing to lose in Iraq to win the election, said his rival would forfeit the war as part of an agenda that also promotes big government and high taxes. Doesn’t McCain read a newspaper? Iraq and the U.S. is close to a deal […]
Obama slammed McCain and his followers today when it comes to ways to save on gas. This is a new, harder hitting Obama that I really like, and one that the Republicans need to fear: Bob Cesca also posted about a Time article today that says this: The Bush Administration estimates that expanded offshore drilling […]
