Democratic or Republican?

In the past 8 (almost) years, we have had quite a bad taste of a”Republican Rule,” and I use the term “Rule” strictly. I think you can all understand where I am coming from if you have seen anything in the
news over the past years. Bush and his administration is nothing but corruption.
That being said…

Huckabee, the Constitution and the News

Would someone please tell me why the story about Huckabee wanting to change the Constitution and start a theocracy here is NOT in regular newspapers?  I am not allowed to use AlterNet or TPM or the blogs as sources for weekly “current events in politics” assignments.  And if it isn’t even news for a high [...]

About criticizing 12 yr old boys

I have heard a lot of liberal and progressive adults say that is is indecent and wrong to criticize 12-year-old boys. I disagree. There are a lot of reasons why you might criticize 12 year-old boys. Some of them don’t shower often enough and they have terrible table manners and their [...]

Washington, DC and Voting

Why would anyone in congress keep the people of Washington from voting?

When can we withdraw troops?

So …. If half the republican people want us to withdraw troops from Iraq, we can assume that even more of the democratic people want to withdraw troops.  So when will the politicians in Washington know what the people know?  When will they listen?  When will they start a withdrawal?

Karl Rove and the TV Talk Show Hosts

Think Progress has a post up called If It’s Sunday, It’s Karl Rove and in it they have a list of questions that they want the talk show hosts to ask Rove tomorrow morning. Here’s their list:

Promoting the war as a member of the White House Iraq Group
Leaking Valerie Plame’s identity
Compiling the list of [...]

Obviously folding doesn’t mean Rove is out of this poker hand

As I skim through various CNN articles about Karl Rove, they all seem to be about how this leader in countless scandals is gone for good. But is the brain behind many schemes going or is this a public cover-up for something going on deeper in the White House?
I believe that the Bush administration is [...]

Daily Show Video on Rove’s departure

This is REALLY funny!

 

If the White House won’t even defend this guy, why is he still Attorney General?

Even the White House won’t defend Alberto Gonzales any more.  Nor will any other conservatives.  So why is he still attorney general?  Only because he is friends with Bush?  Only because he knows all of Bush’s secrets?  What a sham!
Here are some choice quotes from the interview on Fox.  From Chris Wallace:
“By the way, we [...]
