Candidates differ on female draft

Even as the U.S. confronts two long wars, neither Sen. John McCain nor Sen. Barack Obama believes the country should take the politically perilous step of reviving the military draft. But the two presidential candidates disagree on a key foundation of any future draft: Mr. Obama supports a requirement for both men and women to register with the Selective Service, while Mr. McCain doesn't think women should have to register. Also, Mr. Obama would consider officially opening combat positions to women. Mr. McCain would not. "Women are already serving in combat [in Iraq and Afghanistan] and the current policy should be updated to reflect realities on the ground," said Wendy ...

Bounce Monday! Elections Must Be Near Maybe sitting here in the outback of East Texas, I've become a little jaded when it comes to reading news headlines. When the first thing that slaps the eyeballs is "Rush is on to get 'rescue plan' moving: Administration seeks to calm markets with quick action on bailout plan" I start to feel like the inhabitant of a UFO: is this planet for real? Having spent too much time in the strategic planning region of corporate America, my first inclination after another slug of coffee is to look at metrics. Remember, a couple of weeks back I explained how "memeering" was going on around all this economic panic and the main ...

Obama, Democrats on track to landslide victory

WASHINGTON — Barring a dramatic change in the political landscape over the next three weeks, Democrats appear headed toward a decisive victory on Election Day that would give them broad power over the federal government. The victory would send Barack Obama to the White House and give him larger Democratic majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate — and perhaps a filibuster-proof margin there. That could mark a historic realignment of the country's politics on a scale with 1932 or 1980, when the out party was given power it held for a generation, and used it to transform government's role in American society. Obama, a 47-year-old first-term senator ...
7-YR.-OLD GETS AN ACORN VOTE [Full Thread]

O'jahnae Smith is ready and registered to vote this November. There's only one problem: She's 7 years old. The Connecticut girl is 11 years too young - and nobody in her family knows how she ended up on a voter registration form submitted by ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. "She's registered to vote?" said a surprised Jerome Smith, O'jahnae's teenage brother. "She's too young to vote." But that didn't stop someone from forging the child's signature on a voter registration card and giving her a fake birth date that upped her age to 27. The family told The Post a drug-addicted relative may have ...
Austria's Haider dies in accident

Austrian far-right politician Joerg Haider has been killed in a road accident, police say. Mr Haider suffered severe head and chest injuries after his car came off the road in Carinthia, his political base. Police investigating the crash said he had been driving alone. The 58-year-old was leader of the Alliance for Austria's Future, and was known for his anti-immigration and anti-EU policies. The Alliance was one of two right-wing parties which did better than expected in general elections last month, fuelling speculation of a possible role in a ruling coalition.

Forrestal Incident

I have some open questions I think are important. They are about the truth of the Forrestal accident John McCain was involved in, in 1967. I believe a resolution of them can provide insight into his true character. I learned about it from a friend a month ago and googled a lot of material, mostly inconclusive, often conflicting. One of the better comment sets I found was here, but I can't find it now, so I'm sending this as a general post, not really an article. I've read zionist nut interpretations and murky, early morning hangover-like assertions, and seen "official" videos, but a former carrier flight deck navy man whose name I can't remember provided good ...

Obama Campaigning on Xbox 360? By WAGNER JAMES AU, GigaOm Published: October 10, 2008 This is either a brilliant Photoshop job, some canny viral political campaigning, or both: An Xbox 360 gamer playing Burnout Paradise spotted an Obama campaign billboard with a “Paid for by Obama for President” caption as he whizzed by in his turbocharged sports car, Game Politics is reporting. The site was unable to confirm the ad’s authenticity with Burnout publisher Electronic Arts; I’ve left messages with both EA and the Obama campaign and will update this post if we get confirmation either way. Its veracity aside, the virtual billboard raises an interesting question: Are ...
Report stings Palin over Troopergate flap

By MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer Sat Oct 11, 7:08 AM ET ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The politically charged investigation into Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is over, and its conclusions are stinging. But the fallout, if any, might not come until Election Day. A legislative investigator found that Palin violated state ethics laws and abused her power by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. The next move may be at the ballot box. The legislative committee that released the report Friday recommends no criminal investigation and has no authority to sanction the governor, the Republican vice presidential nominee. "It is out of the Legislative Council's ...

She's now into disabled children, pro-lifism, anti-partial-birth-abortionism. So, forget about Obama's association with terrists into their living rooms. Obama is into killing byeibees now. A vote for him is for activist courts that will kill the unborn. USA!USA!USA!USA! Not ONE WORD on Ayers or Rev. White. Are they CHICKEN????
"He Lied" About Bill Ayers? [McCain ad lies]

"He Lied" About Bill Ayers? October 10, 2008 McCain cranks out some false and misleading attacks on Obama's connection to a 1960s radical. Summary In a TV ad, McCain says Obama "lied" about his association with William Ayers, a former bomb-setting, anti-war radical from the 1960s and '70s. We find McCain's claim to be groundless. New details have recently come to light, but nothing Obama said previously has been shown to be false. In a Web ad and in repeated attacks from the stump, McCain describes the two as associates, and Palin claims they "pal around" together. But so far as is known, their relationship was never very close. An Obama spokesman ...
1 VOTER, 72 REGISTRATIONS - 'ACORN PAID ME IN CASH & CIGS'

CLEVELAND - A man at the center of a voter-registration scandal told The Post yesterday he was given cash and cigarettes by aggressive ACORN activists in exchange for registering an astonishing 72 times, in apparent violation of Ohio laws. "Sometimes, they come up and bribe me with a cigarette, or they'll give me a dollar to sign up," said Freddie Johnson, 19, who filled out 72 separate voter-registration cards over an 18-month period at the behest of the left-leaning Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. "The ACORN people are everywhere, looking to sign people up. I tell them I am already registered. The girl said, 'You are?' I say, ...

Poster Comment:The Maverick takes on the hatred he and his people have worked to create. The guilt by association attacks has driven away the independents, and now McCain erratically drives away Republican hard right wingers by lecturing them about how they need to moderate their hatred. Which too often with Right wing Wingnuts is the only thing that keeps them warm at night. Way to go John, thanks. If this is not a typical ploy of yours done for some bizarre or arcane reason, you are doing the right thing. Just watch out for those staffers of yours' trying to corral you with their butterfly nets yearning to get you on the neocon/rightie game plan of gutter politics like Joe ...

Americans are back to the familiar four year refrain: "I'm voting for McCain. Obama is worse." "I'm voting for Obama. McCain is worse." Right back to the same hold your nose and vote. Right back to the same hypocrites like Sean Hannity, who has railed against Juan McCain for his tireless efforts to give illegal aliens a free pass. Hannity now pimps for McCain full time. Dr. James Dobson, head of Focus on the Family, who said, "Speaking as a private individual, I would not vote for John McCain under any circumstances," now embraces the McCain ticket because Sarah Palin has come to the rescue sporting her Real Women Hunt Moose canvas bag.

By Haaretz Service and News Agencies 09/10/08 "Haaretz" -- 08/10/08 U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama told an audience at the second U.S. presidential debate on Tuesday that he would deliver a tough and direct message to Iran that if they did not change their behavior there would be dire consequences. Obama's opponent, Republican John McCain, reiterated that he would never allow a second Holocaust to take place, referring to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's threats to "wipe Israel off the map." The Republican candidate also repeated his criticism of Obama's willingness to hold direct negotiations with the Islamic republic, without ...

Bush Signs Order To Ease President Switch Order Meant To Ensure Seamless Transition POSTED: 11:45 am EDT October 9, 2008 UPDATED: 1:08 pm EDT October 9, 2008 WASHINGTON -- A piece of paper that President George W. Bush signed Thursday helps ease his way out of the White House when his term ends and clears the way for his successor. For seven years and nearly nine months, he has signed virtually every memo or order or piece of legislation imaginable. He even vetoed a few bills, but the directive he put his name on Thursday was one that few talk very much about. Basically, it's the executive order that turns the keys to the White House over to whomever is elected president on Nov. 4. ...

By MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 12 minutes ago ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska lawmakers are meeting behind closed doors to discuss a politically charged ethics report into Gov. Sarah Palin's firing of her state public safety commissioner. The Republican vice presidential nominee has been accused of firing the commissioner to settle a family dispute. An investigator's report was expected to be released later Friday. Palin supporters have called the investigation politically motivated. Protestors wearing clown noses and carrying balloons greeted lawmakers with cheers that the circus was in town. The investigation focuses on Palin's firing of Public Safety ...
Working Class White Voters Are Ditching McCain (PA)

Georgia Lutz, right, sits with Darryl Hendon on the stoop outside their home in Beaver Falls, Pa. Thursday, Oct. 9, 2008. Lutz said she's voting for Obama, as did Hendon, 50, both Democrats. Hendon said he thinks some white Democrats in the region are reluctant to back Obama simply because of his race. KITTANNING, Pa. — The steel mills and coal mines of western Pennsylvania helped fuel the nation's economic engine. Today, old factory shells and boarded-up storefronts stand as bleak reminders of those once-prosperous times. But the voters in working-class enclaves such as this still are a sought-after prize in presidential politics, and many are belatedly backing Democratic ...

I smell a rat in the indictment and trial of Ted Stevens, the senator from Alaska. Sarah Palin had fought with him for control of the Alaska Republican Party, and by refusing to endorse him for reelection, she looks like an anti-corruption fighter, the maverick who takes on the powerful in the interests of the common people. But all of a sudden, the judge in the case has thrown out critical evidence because of prosecutorial misconduct involving the use of evidence it knew was false. There is no way to know what the outcome of the trial will be, but it is starting to look more and more like a political hatchet job to the benefit of Palin. This would not be the first time the Justice ...

It is terrifying to see our financial system crumbling because of corruption on Wall Street, aided and abetted by government policies of too much federal spending, debt, and intervention in the economy. But it is also troubling to see our economic system of free enterprise slipping away as the candidates of both major political parties propose more federal intervention, spending and debt as solutions to these problems. Our media have an obligation to inform the American people that we are moving into a full-blown socialist economy. At this point, with the financial crisis continuing to grow, isn’t it apparent that the “bailout” plan was in no real sense a “rescue,” ...
