Bamboozling the American electorate again (Bush-Cheney strategy involves marketing newcomer Obama)

Bush-Cheney strategy involves G.O.P. crossover voting to take out Hillary, marketing newcomer Obama, a possible "independent" ticket, and maybe even martial law... Evidence of a covert campaign to undermine the presidential primaries is rife, so it's curious that the Democractic Party and even some within the G.O.P. have ignored the actual elephant in the room this year. That would be Karl Rove. Long accused of rigging the two previous presidential elections, this master of deceit would have us believe that he's gone off to sit in a corner and write op-eds. Not so. According to an article in Time magazine published last November, www.time.com/time/nation/...le/0 ...

"A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will produce in time a people as base as itself." - Joseph Pulitzer One of the pressing questions for American voters as they look toward the formal nomination of McCain as the Republican presidential candidate is whether he is a phony who’s long been protected by his gilded reputation or whether he suffers from severe – or at least convenient – memory loss 29/02/08 "MEO" -- -- In journalism, it’s a safe bet that if you write a story with the suggestion that a prominent male politician is bedding an attractive female lobbyist, whatever other point you hoped to make will be overlooked. That appears to have been ...
McCain Gets Hell For Embracing Armageddon Sect

John McCain continued his quest for conservative bona fides by embracing millionaire televangelist and leader of the "End-Times" Evangelical movement, Pastor CEO John Hagee. In addition to believing that we are the last generation before God destroys the earth and that "international television" is a sign that Christ's return is nigh, Hagee has maligned the Catholic Church as 'The Great Whore' and 'a false cult.' Accordingly, the Hagee endorsement has raised the ire of Catholic activists who claim Hagee is a bigot who regularly preaches anti-Catholic hate and blames the Catholic Church for the Holocaust. In an interview with Glenn Greenwald, ...

February 29, 2008 An Alarmed Message From Ron Paul's Opponent Posted by Lew Rockwell at February 29, 2008 04:18 PM Says Chris Peden: "Republicans Voting in the Democrat Primary: Don't do it!! We have been getting reports that Republicans are voting in the Democrat primary for Hillary. The thought being that polls show that McCain can beat Hillary, but can't beat Obama. There are hundreds of down ballot races on the Republican primary ballot in Texas (like this one for CD14) that need your vote. Additionally, if you vote in the Democrat primary, you'll be a Democrat for two years; meaning you can't go to the Republican convention (s), vote for the Party Chair or ...

Hear David Duke's Latest Radio Broadcast -- Why I Oppose Obama" or Download Why I oppose Obama as President of the United States David Duke Barack Obama has stressed continually that he is a candidate for President for “all the people” and for the new day of a “colorblind society.” It is the identical rhetoric used by every serious candidate both Democrat and Republican. In order to win a significant percentage of the 70 percent White electorate that he needs, what else could he say? But, does Obama really mean it? Or, is it just another lie in what must qualify as the most hypocritical profession on earth: politics? Compelling evidence shows that Barack ...

FORT WORTH — Early voting for Texas’ March 4th primary ended Friday with turnout numbers that shattered all previous records. The vast majority of those ballots were cast in the Democratic primary, a turnout that gave Republican officials pause in this traditionally "red" state. A final tally wasn’t immediately available Friday afternoon, but as of Wednesday, about 805,000 people had voted in the state’s 15 biggest counties, according to the Texas Secretary of State’s web site. More than 600,000 of those voters are participating in the Democratic primary. The numbers far outpace the early turnout in primaries in recent years. In 2000, about 315,000 ...

Anonymous said... I'm a 50-something WM mild fiscal conservative in Houston. My whole family (me, wife, 22 yr old college senior, and 18 yr old HS senior) voted early at 6 pm last Saturday. Incredibly easy, no line, planning on making this a traditional get-together. The Polling Place ladies were excited to see the whole family voting like that. Early voting is so easy that I look for a HUGE turn-out here. Family Results: 3 anti-Hillary votes for Obama, 1 vote for Ron Paul (out of conscience, not practicality). I sense a building groundswell for Obama here; personally however I won't believe it has happened until the legs retract back under the house leaving the Ruby Slippers ...

Perennial presidential candidate and gadfly to the Democrats Ralph Nader on Thursday chose a San Francisco politician as his pick for vice president this year. Nader, whom many Democrats fault for President George Bush's election to the White House in 2000, said Matt Gonzalez, former president of the San Francisco board of supervisors, shares his vision of an America rid of corporate influence in politics. "I found him to be unwavering in his principles and committed to his politics with clear eloquence and humane logic," Nader said at a press conference where he made the announcement. "I wanted someone who served in government and who knows what kind of challenges our ...

Democrats’ cheap shots at Nafta Published: February 28 2008 19:59 | Last updated: February 28 2008 19:59 The most disturbing aspect of the US primary season is the Democratic consensus that liberal trade is opposed to the national interest. The North American Free Trade Agreement has destroyed jobs and lowered living standards in the US, say the Democrats, and must be either rewritten or abandoned. Barack Obama, now the favourite to secure both the nomination and the White House, once had intelligent things to say about trade. He has lately positioned himself as a hardliner among the hardliners, assailing Hillary Clinton, who also now opposes Nafta, for ever having supported it. On ...
Catholics chastise McCain for touting evangelical support

US Catholic groups on the left and right are chastising John McCain today for touting his endorsement from an evangelical preacher who has called the church a "false cult" and "the great whore". McCain campaigned this week with John Hagee, leader of a 17,000-member Texas mega-church and a stalwart supporter of Israel. The likely Republican nominee said he was proud to win Hagee's nod, an undeniable boost as McCain courts sceptical evangelical voters. But in the process of wooing Christian support, McCain appears to have alienated Catholics. The conservative US Catholic League, which boasts more than 350,000 members, urged the Arizona senator to reject Hagee and ...

I just flew back from Australia, where I was speaking about the erosions of our civil liberties. Believe me, the rest of the world is agog at our inaction as what makes us Americans is being set aflame; and they are more scared of what an unsheathed US could do to the rest of the world than we are. They also get more news out in the rest of the world about these depredations than we do here in our media bubble. For instance: I read in a small item in The Australian that an Australian justice of the peace was swept up in Pakistan and held in Guantanamo for FOUR YEARS. Get that? A justice of the peace in a developed-world democracy. Had you heard of that? Me neither. Keep in mind, to ...

Paul and Kucinich safe in their congressional districts I’d been hearing plenty of consistent rumors that Ron Paul was polling poorly in his congressional district, but didn’t publish any of them because there was no way to verify the sources—and some of the reports I had heard seemed a bit suspect. Ballot Access News has just linked to data which suggests that the opposite is true. Additionally, Dennis Kucinich seems safe in his district, as well. Polls released yesterday and today show that Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich are well ahead in their reelection campaigns. Both polls were conducted by Public Policy Polling. Ron Paul leads his only GOP opponent, Chris Peden, 63-30 ...

2 hours, 4 minutes ago AUSTIN, Texas - Democratic candidate Barack Obama said Thursday the economy is "on the brink of a recession" and blamed economic policies espoused by President Bush and Republican presidential contender John McCain. Obama mocked a more optimistic economic picture painted by Bush at a White House news conference just moments earlier: "People are struggling in the midst of an economy that George Bush says is not a recession but is experienced differently by folks on the ground." For the second day in a row, Obama focused on the likely GOP nominee McCain and all but ignored Hillary Rodham Clinton's continuing campaign for the Democratic ...

God Bless Ralph Nader Joel S. Hirschhorn Because he wants to salvage American democracy and help Americans, Ralph Nader is running for president again. He deserves the support of all Americans that see themselves as progressives, dissidents, independents, and patriots who want to remove the stranglehold of the two-party plutocracy on our political system. When it comes to being an honest, proven and trustworthy change agent, Nader is the gold standard. So why are so many Democrats going ballistic and spewing hate towards Nader? They are in denial about both Obama and Clinton. Both owe much to the corporate and business world that Nader has waged war against for decades. Like Clinton, ...

SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain won the endorsement of Texas evangelical leader John Hagee on Wednesday, which could boost his standing among religious conservatives who have been reluctant to embrace the likely nominee. Hagee, who heads a 19,000-member church in San Antonio, is best known for his outspoken support of Israel and writings on the Middle East, where he envisions a blood-soaked clash between East and West leading to the return of Jesus Christ. "I'm very honored by Pastor John Hagee's endorsement today," McCain said at a news conference. "He has been the staunchest leader of our Christian evangelical movement in many ...

WASHINGTON — The question has nagged at the parents of Americans born outside the continental United States for generations: Dare their children aspire to grow up and become president? In the case of Senator John McCain of Arizona, the issue is becoming more than a matter of parental daydreaming. Mr. McCain’s likely nomination as the Republican candidate for president and the happenstance of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936 are reviving a musty debate that has surfaced periodically since the founders first set quill to parchment and declared that only a “natural-born citizen” can hold the nation’s highest office. Almost since those words were written in ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Sen. Barack Obama fired back at Sen. John McCain this morning after the Arizona Republican suggested Obama was unaware that al-Qaeda had been causing trouble in Iraq. Speaking in Tyler, Texas, McCain cast Obama as dangerously clueless for suggesting during last night's debate with Sen. Hilllary Rodham Clinton that he would consider redeploying U.S. troops to Iraq under certain conditions, including if al-Qaeda returned to establish a base of operations there. Or, as moderator Tim Russert put it, if "al-Qaeda resurges and Iraq goes to hell." "I have some news," McCain said a rally this morning. "Al-Qaeda is in Iraq. Al-Qaeda is called al-Qaeda ...

The road to re-election for veteran U.S. Rep. John Murtha just got a good bit smoother. A state judge yesterday ruled that the lone Republican running in the primary for the Western Pennsylvania seat did not collect enough signatures to make the ballot. Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson said Republican candidate Bill Russell's nominating petition contained only 993 valid signatures, seven fewer than required. That left Mr. Murtha, 75, a Democrat, without opposition in the primary or general election. Mr. Russell, 45, left the Army two years short of retirement and moved from Washington, D.C., to Johnstown to challenge Mr. Murtha. He said yesterday that bad weather and other ...
