A new CBS/NYTimes poll has been released. While some numbers are to be expected, such as Obama’s 63% approval rating, there are other numbers that really stand out at me – particularly the publics view of bipartisanship and the Republicans. For starters, let’s look at the Republican opposition to the stimulus bill. What is the […]
He keeps telling us how important FISA is to our national security, yet if he doesn’t get exactly what he wants then he will veto it – rather it expires or not. Now the question is if Harry Reid will have the balls to try him on it. It’s time to call Bush’s bluff on […]
September is getting closer and closer, while our goal of “success” in Iraq is getting further and further: Sen. Richard Lugar, a senior Republican and a reliable vote for President Bush on the war, said Monday that Bush’s Iraq strategy was not working and that the U.S. should downsize the military’s role.

Hillary Rodham Clinton called Thursday for the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, hours after […]
What amazes me is that the Republicans are so worried about politicking that they are willing to back-burner the entire country to take up the issue of gay marriage this week. When I think of the problems surrounding our country; Iraq, healthcare, FEMA, energy crisis, immigration, record level deficits – just to name a few, […]
From Think Progress: This morning, ThinkProgress revealed that, according to Kevin Phillip’s book American Dynasty, Bush himself sang the national anthem in Spanish.
