As Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) courts the Catholic vote, “part of a larger effort to build bridges with religious voters,” The New York Times reports today that his “informal adviser” on Catholic outreach is Deal W. Hudson. In 2004, Hudson advised Bush-Cheney ‘04, serving as “the architect of a Republican effort to court Catholic voters.” But Hudson was forced to resign after “accusations of sexual misconduct,” as the Times reported on August 19, 2004: query.nytimes.com/gst/ful...E3FF93AA2575BC0A9629C8B63 ”No one regrets my past mistakes more than I do,” Mr. Hudson wrote in a column posted yesterday on the online edition of National ...

FBI probe: Lieberman campaign to blame for crashing own Web site By Brian Lockhart Staff Writer Stamford Advocate Article Launched:04/09/2008 01:00:00 AM EDT A federal investigation has concluded that U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman's 2006 re-election campaign was to blame for the crash of its Web site the day before Connecticut's heated Aug. 8 Democratic primary. The FBI office in New Haven found no evidence supporting the Lieberman campaign's allegations that supporters of primary challenger Ned Lamont of Greenwich were to blame for the Web site crash. Lieberman, who was fighting for his political life against the anti-Iraq war candidate Lamont, implied that joe2006.com was ...

John McCain, the Republicans' choice for president, has said the US can succeed in Iraq, but warned against any hasty withdrawal of US troops. His address came ahead of a report to Congress this week from Gen David Petraeus, the top US commander in Iraq. Senator McCain said: "We are no longer staring into the abyss of defeat." He is at odds with Democratic rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who have said they would start withdrawing troops soon after taking office. They are competing to be the Democratic Party's nominee to run for president in November's general election. Speaking to veterans at the National World War I Museum, Mr McCain highlighted a sharp ...

Feith: We invaded Iraq because we were afraid they'd attack us

During an interview to be broadcast on 60 Minutes this Sunday, former Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Doug Feith was asked why the US chose to go after Saddam Hussein instead of Osama bin Laden. CBS's Steve Kroft asked Feith, "Why was the decision made to go after him after 9/11? Because we knew even then, he didn't have anything to do with it." "What we did after 9/11 was to look broadly at the international terrorism network from which the next attack on the United States might come," Feith replied, "and we did not focus narrowly only on the people who were specifically responsible for 9/11. Our main goal was preventing the next attack." ...

Vice President Dick Cheney opposed the signing ratification of a treaty banning the use chemical weapons, a recently unearthed letter shows. 183 countries pledged never to "develop, produce, otherwise acquire, stockpile or retain chemical weapons, or transfer, directly or indirectly, chemical weapons to anyone" under the Chemical Weapons Convention, put into effect in 1997. But in a letter dated April 8, 1997, then Halliburton-CEO Cheney told Sen. Jesse Helms, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, that it would be a mistake for America to join the Convention. "Those nations most likely to comply with the Chemical Weapons Convention are not likely to ever ...

Karl Rove, former Deputy White House Chief of Staff, says he's always been intimidated by First Lady Laura Bush and that he has "lived in fear" of erstwhile First Lady Barbara Bush for 37 years. "Laura Bush intimidates me," Rove tells GQ magazine in an interview for the May edition. "All the Bushes — well, most of the Bush men marry incredibly strong women, and they all intimidate me." He even found the grandmotherly wife of the previous President Bush scary. "Barbara Bush, I've lived in fear of for thirty-seven years," Rove says. He seems less afraid of Clinton, giving a very frank assessment of the candidate and her campaign, which ...

Dan writes: Bacevich has the better of the argument, at least as regards abortion. The GOP has had opportunities to overturn Roe before—at any point when Republicans controlled the House, Senate, and White House, Congress could have restricted the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction over abortion using the powers invested in the legislative branch by Article III of the Constitution, overturning Roe at a stroke. Perhaps they were right not to do so: the powers of Article III, ...

Will McCain Wield the Big Stick? By Eric Margolis Barack Obama says he’s happy to see his primary race with Hillary Clinton continue right up to the bitter end. But there is deepening worry in this overwhelmingly Democratic Party city that the fratricidal battle between Obama and Clinton is tearing apart the party and boosting Republican hopes of victory in November. Obama leads by almost every measure, but not decisively. Hillary Clinton appears determined to fight right up to this summer’s party convention. Many senior Democrats fear she will wreck her party’s chances rather than gracefully withdraw. As a result of the damage caused to the images of both Obama and ...

John McCain has already succeeded in winning over the conservative base despite all the media hype to the contrary, says nationally syndicated talk show host Michael Medved. In an exclusive interview with Newsmax, Medved said he believed the entire story about the breach between McCain and the conservative movement was “media hype,” projected by the mainstream liberal-leaning media and by certain talk show hosts on the right. “The MSM emphasized the alleged split because it was a story line that weakened Republicans and suggested a crippled Republican candidate,” the popular conservative radio host said. On the right were individuals “so frustrated and angry ...

Posted: 03/25/08 03:41 PM [ET] The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) called on Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) Tuesday to remove military adviser and national campaign co-chairman Gen. Tony McPeak from his team, citing past statements McPeak has made about the Middle East that the RJC finds troubling. Matt Brooks, executive director of the RJC, said in a statement that in keeping McPeak as a surrogate and campaign spokesman, “serious questions and doubts are once again being raised about Sen. Obama’s positions and judgment on Middle East issues.” In its statement, the RJC cited a 2003 interview McPeak did with the Portland Oregonian in which “Gen. McPeak resorted to old ...
Torture Bracelet To Control Dissenting Americans?

The Department of Homeland Security is pursuing the introduction of a device known as the Security Bracelet, a wearable tag that would allow authorities to inflict pain compliance on suspects from a distance, while also recommending law enforcement applications and potential use in "crowd control situations". Introduced ostensibly to combat airline terrorism, a creepy promo video courtesy of the patent holders Lamperd FTS exploits shocking 9/11 imagery to push the torture device as a solution to countering potential hijackers by inflicting "Electro-Muscular Disruption" and presumably giving the rest of the passengers a debilitating shock at the same time.

A Chosen People without God--The Rise of the Neocons Posted by Grant Havers on March 13, 2008 Jacob Heilbrunn, They Knew They Were Right: The Rise Of The Neocons, Double Day, 336 pages. It is always risky to write the obituary of neoconservatism, despite the now fashionable view that this is an idea whose time is finally gone. As Jacob Heilbrunn demonstrates in They Knew They Were Right: The Rise Of The Neocons, the neoconservatives have always been a tenacious bunch. Who could have predicted that a small group of ex-Trotskyite intellectuals would not only shape foreign policy for the Republican Party in the last three decades but also reinvent conservatism in America?

It has sometimes been noted that the neoconservatives, conspicuously absent on the battlefield, excel at the Washington infighting that enabled their ascent in the first place. Marine and Army combat units are justifiably proud of never leaving a comrade behind on the battlefield. Neocons adhere to a somewhat different philosophy, namely putting the boot in to an erstwhile ally who has faltered in the struggle for global hegemony and lost his usefulness. When Francis Fukuyama could no longer see the sense in what was going on in Iraq and said so publicly, he was excoriated by his former friends at the American Enterprise Institute. Donald Rumsfeld, who did everything the neocons wanted and ...

Report: Defector Says He Never Claimed Iraq Possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction By Maddy Sauer 24/03/08 "ABC News" -- - The Iraqi defector known as "Curveball," whose fabricated stories about mobile biological weapons labs helped lead the U.S. to war in Iraq five years ago, says he is not to blame for the war and that he never said Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, according to a new report released this weekend in the German magazine Der Spiegel. Curveball is still living in Germany under a new name and protection and money offered by German intelligence services. "In all, Curveball is said to have been paid hundreds of thousands of euros.

WASHINGTON – Compassionate conservative. September 11. The overthrow of Saddam Hussein. The Global War on Terror. Hurricane Katrina. No Child Left Behind. How to showcase these and other defining moments of President Bush's tenure now falls to Dan Murphy and his design firm, the PRD Group, retained by Bush advisers as the "interpretive planner" for his library and museum at Southern Methodist University. This is not the bricks and mortar but rather the public face of the Bush legacy – crafting exhibits that try to balance the tale of a Texas oilman who rose to the nation's highest office and the mistakes and miscalculations that have left him deeply unpopular ...

Hannity & Colmes: Bringing On The Right Wingers To Lose It Over Obama & Rev. Wright

Despite the fact that Billo says he’s the only guy out there courageous enough (*cough, cough*) to talk about Barack Obama’s relationship with Trinity UCC’s Rev. Jeremiah Wright, there wasn’t much else of discussion on Hannity & Colmes on Friday night. In fact, I’d say that the outrage was proportionate to the number of wingnuts brought on to discuss it. Nevertheless, co-host Alan Colmes and Democratic strategist Bob Beckell manage to inject some semblance of sanity to the predictions of the end of Obama’s chance for the White House.

Iranian conservatives were poised on Saturday to win a two-thirds parliamentary majority but with reformists retaining a foothold despite losing hundreds of candidates to pre-election vetting. The resilience of the reformist vote in the face of the mass veto comes as hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad seeks re-election in 2009 to continue his controversial mandate amid discontent over double-digit inflation. Friday's vote -- which arch foe Washington said was "cooked" -- was also marked by divisions in the conservative camp which led to two coalitions of "principalists," with one less enthusiastic about the populist president. "More than 71 percent of the ...
