Muslim Voters' Waning Support for Obama?

ABC News: Muslim Voters' Waning Support for Obama?


This can be understood if you follow politics. In this youtube world, can you imagine the new Obama is a Muslim crap that would be on the web? I mean 30% or so of the electorate still think he is a Muslim now and that would just reinforce the lie. It is sad that it has come to this but that is the nature of the beast.

Is McCain Like Bush?

Is McCain Like Bush? It Depends on the Issue - NYTimes.com


McCain tries to distance himself from GW, but it just does not hold water. If you watch closely, he , McCain, tries to divert the attention away from Bush as often as possible. His stands will NOT hold up to scurtiny.

Political Quote Of The Week

This week I found a quote by Ambrose Bierce and is an excellent definition of politics.


Politics: A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.
Ambrose Bierce


Just watch politics unfold and you will see that this quote is by far the most accurate observation on what politics is really all about.

Not a big fan of CNN, but this is a [pretty good piece about the significance of the Obama win and the possibilities for the future.

End Of The Season

Clinton won Puerto Rico by 30+ points, but the vote was a lot lower than anticipated. Today is the last of the primaries--the official end of the whining, the pouting, the accusations and the BS--especially the BS of the media and their lame attempts to keep non-issue stories in the news.

I know I am dreaming--it has only begun....LOL

Today is the final two primaries--Montana and South Dakota. Obama is expected to win both of these and win handily.

This is the end of this part of the historical political epoch. (always wanted to say that)

More Congressmen Hospitalized

Sorry, but this is the result when we allow these guys and gals to spend 50 yrs in the Congress. It is called old age.

Sen. Robert Byrd, the oldest member of the U.S. Senate and a fierce opponent of the Iraq war, was taken to a Washington-area hospital for observation on Monday after a caregiver noticed that he was lethargic, a spokesman for the West Virginia Democrat said.

Byrd, 90, was at work in the Senate earlier in the day and had gone home where his caregiver grew concerned about his condition, spokesman Jesse Jacobs said.

Byrd first won election to the Senate in 1958.

There has been a wealth of these people having to go to the hospital...I realize that I may seem a bit cold, but I do think that there should be a two term limit on all these guys and gals. Ifr they stay longer then they start acting like it is their god given right to rule.

OK it is not Monday...for that was a holiday and now it is back to work....put on your thinking caps, always wanted to say the, and let us begin....

This was a faction within the Dem party in 1835, it was an equal rights faction that seized control of the Dem convention in 1835. What was this faction called and why?


This is one is a bit harder than normal but I have faith in my class....they can do it...good luck

This is a bigger deal than the politics of the season; it is a show of respect and leadership to be adopted. I pray that he talks this ceremony to heart. NAs need someone who will actually care about their plight in Washington, Obama has an opportunity here to do the right thing.

The reality is that 3rd party runs can have a disastrous effect on the one party or the other, but the question should be, is the effort worthwhile?

Can Obama Really Change US Policy?

Jonathan Steele: Obama says he'll reshape US foreign policy. But can he? | Comment is free | The Guardian


The aura of change hangs around the Obama campaign, but many are question whether he can really bring the change that he speaks of.

Clintons And The Race Card

First, good ol' Bubba place his foot in his mouth in South Carolina saying that Obama won because like Jesse Jackson, he is black. Ok, that is a paraphrase but the thought was there. Then the campaign had to explain what he meant. There have been other Clinton surrogates that have made comments that could be seen as the playing of the race card.

Now that Hillary is all but eliminated, mathematically any way, the campaign is using just about anything, they are grabbing at straws even heard that they said that they would use the vote in Puerto Rice as an indicator. Thinking about that....they cannot vote in the general election .

Anyway, I digress, it seems the candidate herself is trying to sway the super delegates by using the race card. Here is the part of her interview that sounds a bit racial, at least to me:

This is from the USA Today--

" 'I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,' she said in an interview with USA Today. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article 'that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states (those voting in Tuesday's Indiana and North Carolina primaries) who had not completed college were supporting me.' "

"There's a pattern emerging here," she said.

You decide--was she or wasn't she?
