Senator McCain seems to believe he’ll safely and quickly bring gas and fuel prices down by drilling off the coast of Florida.
Safety: The technology is safer, but safer and safe are not the same thing. There were over 80 reported spills during Hurricane Katrina. This is like thinking your clothes are still [...]
Jon Taplin had a great post that kind of epitomizes two of the key arguments that have been kicked around early in the general election season.
First, the lavish lifestyle the McCains live show a stark contrast to the image they try to present. They are not like the common family. They don’t identify fully, even [...]
Barack Obama - President
When we elect the president this time around, we’re choosing between two distinct directions our nation will head. Only one of those offers a different choice than the status quo by the same means. Prior elections have often felt like choosing between the lesser of two evils. People who [...]
According to a recent MSNBC Online Poll, 89% of the American public believes President Bush should be impeached. It’s time our Congress stepped up. Write letters to everyone who represents you. They are slow, but they will hear the voice of the people.
FYI: It’s not too late, it’s not meaningless. [...]
He actually understands our economy and Economics in general, unlike the cronies of the past 8 years. As a signal of executive ability, judgement and leadership I am glad Senator Obama made this move. Furman’s history gives a strong indication of Obama’s willingness (and ability) to work across the aisle. Fiscal conservatism [...]
Compare that the the utter crap John McCain told Matt Lauer today and you have one of the worst examples of a fall from grace I’ve ever seen. I’ve campaigned for McCain in the past, and I’ll probably just stop admitting that. An absolute hero in 2000 has been reduced to literally ignoring [...]
John McCain seems to not need a memory. Or facts. Or ideas even. He simply lies about Barack Obama’s tax plan and misquotes his “bitter” comments in such an interesting way…
Yes, Senator McCain, I cling to the Constitution, and I am bitter. Do you know why? Because your party and [...]
If you like 26-year-olds being able to retire, then you love the 15% capital gains tax. If I have extra money and put it in the market to make more money, I pay that 15%. If I work my ass off 60-hours a week in a warehouse, I’m paying around 30%. That’s [...]
Today I heard someone spouting the “marijuana is a gateway drug” argument and something hit me. Besides the obvious fact that alcohol and nicotine are always the first drug anyone tries, nobody who actually touts this hollow argument has either a) never even tried marijuana or b) tried marijuana and stopped. The base [...]
They continue to mention the proposed windfall tax on oil companies in the Senate, but haven’t yet mentioned the introduction of Articles of Impeachment against President Bush in the House of Representatives. Do they need a map of the Beltway? It’s not like they’d need to travel far.
Is this the same media [...]
He’s losing grip on everything he once was. I’m ashamed of the campaigning I did for him in 2000, although I still wish it had been him over President Bush in the first place. This is what he has become:

Just go away. Go vote for McCain if you wish, but get far away from this party. You are not Democrats. You are ideologues. You don’t believe in majority rules with respect to minority rights, you believe in entitlement. You don’t believe in compromise, you believe in fighting amongst ourselves. This election isn’t about [...]
According to CNN, the difference in cost of the competing Webb-Hagel and McCain GI Bills is $2 billion. Put into context that is equal to the cost of fighting the war for one week.
John McCain fights to save our tax dollars for the war.
Since he only had one word on which to hinge his entire argument yesterday on Hardball. Much thanks to Chris Matthews for simply showing how some who have prominent positions and loud voices on talk radio have no idea or concern for the facts, they only concern themselves with apologizing for the current, corrupt administration.
Here [...]
This is absurdity ad nauseam, and I know Michael Savage isn’t taken seriously by 90% of his listeners, but I can’t even believe he thinks this nonsense is legitimate. Reverend Wright can easily be described as a harsh critic of American foreign and domestic policy, but he’s served this country for 6 years in [...]
This is not uncommon. This is how the current administration is treating the troops, and how Senator McCain will continue to treat them if he is elected. He’s already contended that giving education benefits to soldiers who serve the country for only two years would hurt the military by decreasing retention. This is already more [...]
A recent AP article describing the mutual fund sale of $2 million in oil-related companies operating in Sudan by Cindy McCain. The information actually came from a McCain campaign spokesperson, which I take to mean it is relevant for public consumption of the entire picture of all three candidates. We can discuss acquaintances, [...]
John McCain is speaking in Phoenix today (05/05/08), fielding typical questions along with a few ‘Cinco de Mayo’ immigration questions. It’s laughable that reporters say things like “since it’s Cinco de Mayo, I wanted to ask you about immigration.” McCain has been one of the more rational Republicans on the issue. He [...]
Lately this stupid “anti-American” tag is getting thrown around more and more. Partly because of the Reverend Wright debacle and a super patriot named Nash McCabe, partly because it’s political season and those with no substance sling mud. I’m getting tired of hearing things labeled un-American or anti-American as if there is some sort of [...]

Jack, what’s changed is my perception of the Republican party. I was raised by staunch Republicans and have never voted any other way … until this year. I’m through. Finished. The situation has become untenable. Forgive me if I [...]
