Antiwarriors: Divided and Conquered

There is an enormous antiwar majority in this country--upwards of 70%. And yet the war goes on and on and on. Who is to blame? We could blame the denizens of the two war parties in Congress. The leading Republican and Democrat presidential candidates have a record - and without exception it is a prowar record. McCain froths at the mouth at the prospect of more war. Hillary was there from the beginning and has voted yea on every prowar resolution in the Senate--from authorizing the war to voting for the trillions that have been used to fund the damned thing. Comparing the votes of Edwards and Obama is especially instructive. When Edwards had a vote in the Senate, his votes declared him ...

ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: A top adviser to John McCain said Wednesday that he will step down from the Arizona senator's presidential campaign if the presumed GOP nominee faces Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in the general election. "I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama," said McCain adviser Mark McKinnon in an interview with NPR's "All Things Considered." "I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign." McKinnon, who was a Democrat before serving as President Bush's ad maker in 2000 and 2004, said that he plans to be behind McCain ...
Key Clinton Backer Guilty in Sibel Edmonds Case

The UK's Times has already run three bombshell articles on the nuclear black market element in the case of former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds this year, and we are expecting more fallout in the near future as new evidence and witnesses come forward. In the meantime, another important angle to Edmonds' case has opened up. Earlier this week, the New York Post ran a Page 6 piece, ODD FILM BY HILLARY BACKER, which highlights the close relationship between Hillary Clinton and Chicago-based Turkish businessman Mehmet Celebi. Celebi, "one of the national leaders of the Turkish-American community in the US," is a key fundraiser for Clinton, and is one of Clinton's Chicago ...

Conservatives Revisit Third Party

(02-13) 14:56 PST (AP) -- The same conservative Christian activist who called a meeting last fall to discuss backing a third-party candidate to counter a possible Rudy Giuliani candidacy is revisiting the idea as Sen. John McCain closes in on the Republican presidential nomination. Bob Fischer, a South Dakota businessman and anti-abortion activist, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that while he could back the Arizona senator over either Democratic Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton or Barack Obama, he made clear that he and others in the evangelical movement are not content with those choices. "I'll be working in other ways to see that we have additional choices as ...

Obama's wife helps add the human touch By Edward Luce in Washington Published: February 13 2008 02:00 | Last updated: February 13 2008 02:00 Anyone fearing Barack Obama is succumbing to a "Messiah complex" might be disabused by observing his wife, Michelle Obama, on the campaign trail. An increasingly effective advocate for her husband, Mrs Obama has a tendency to remind people of Mr Obama's less glamorous qualities. Having revealed that Mr Obama snores, leaves the butter dish outside the fridge and drops old socks around their three-storey home in Chicago, Mrs Obama was chided by some for apparently impairing her husband's dignity. Maureen Dowd of the New York ...

John McCain and the Neocon Resurgence The neoconservatives, who have never been right about anything, have lately suffered more knockdowns than "The Bull of the Pampas," Luis Firpo, did in his first round with Jack Dempsey in 1923, but hopes for their demise as a political force have unfortunately proven to be premature. Part of the problem is that the blog and counterculture world where the neocons have been eviscerated is not the world of the New York Times, the Washington Post, Fox News, or the Wall Street Journal, where they continue to set the pace on the editorial and opinion pages. The presence of two neoconservatives, William Kristol and David Brooks, at the ostensibly ...

Obama blames Bush for economic downturn in speech to autoworkers Associated Press - February 13, 2008 11:45 AM ET JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) - Barack Obama blamed President Bush today for the economic downturn in remarks to General Motors workers in Janesville. The automakers are among 74,000 GM employees considering a buyout offer. The Democratic presidential candidate is speaking at the Janesville plant a day after the company reported the largest annual loss ever for an American automaker - nearly $39 billion in 2007. Obama says it's failed leadership and imagination in Washington that caused economic struggles, including the housing crisis. Obama is promising to end tax breaks for ...

Obama (Finally) Putting Attack On NAFTA Front and Center? Posted February 12, 2008 | 11:15 PM (EST) From Barack Obama's victory speech tonight: z"It's a game where trade deals, like NAFTA, ship jobs overseas and force parents to compete with their teenagers to work for minimum wages at the local fast-food joint or at Wal-Mart. It's what happens when the American worker doesn't have a voice at the negotiating table, when leaders change their positions on trade with the politics of the moment, and that is why we need a president who will listen not just to Wall Street, but to Main Street, a president who will stand with workers not just when it's easy, but when ...
Obama and a Chance for Progressive Change (DAVE LINDORFF)

Obama and a Chance for Progressive Change by Dave Lindorff I don’t want to overstate the case for Barack Obama, who has been fairly circumspect about his intentions if elected. While saying he is against the Iraq War, he has not acted very forcefully to help bring it to an end. And he certainly has not called for any downsizing of America’s bloated military budget or any end to its imperialist foreign policy—absolutely essential if there is to be any progressive change of consequence in the US. That said, those who believe that the Democratic Party is firmly in the hands of a malignant and self-serving corporate and political elite have to explain why “their” ...
Clinton makes a last stand in Ohio and Texas (Did she visit Waco?)

By John Whitesides, Political Correspondent - Analysis WASHINGTON (Reuters) - For Hillary Clinton, once viewed as the almost certain Democratic presidential nominee, it has come to this: Win in Ohio and Texas in three weeks, and again the next month in Pennsylvania, or go home. The growing strength of rival Barack Obama, who decisively captured three more contests on Tuesday to extend his winning streak to eight, leaves Clinton few options in a grueling fight for convention delegates who select the nominee in the November election. Clinton has made March 4 contests in Ohio and Texas, with a combined 334 delegates at stake, her last firewall in a battle that has tipped toward Obama. ...
McCain Received $100,000 From Firm Of Abramoff Notoriety

On the stump, Sen. John McCain has touted his work tackling the excesses of the lobbying industry to bolster his reputation as a "maverick" reformer. "Ask Jack Abramoff if I'm an insider in Washington," McCain often contends. "You'd probably have to go during visiting hours in the prison, and he'll tell you and his lobbyist cronies of the change I made there." But how much change did McCain actually effect? And is he all that removed from Washington's special interests? A review of campaign finance filings shows that the Arizona Republican has accepted more than $100,000 in donations from employees of Greenberg Traurig, the very firm where ...

McCain Camp Touts Ollie North Endorsement

One of the key figures in the Iran-contra scandal is now endorsing Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), but is McCain endorsing him back? This morning the McCain campaign helpfully circulated a column Oliver North had penned in the Washington Times, extolling the senator's virtues, under the heading "In Case You Missed It: Oliver North on John McCain." The e-mail made a point of pulling out the key laudatory quote and placing it in bold, making it even easier for reporters to read: "Neither John McCain, nor anyone in his campaign asked me to write this column. But I cannot sit silently while my fellow conservatives do to John McCain what GOP 'moderates' did to me. Today, ...

Feb. 13, 2008 | Disemboweling is evidently the theme du jour. As the political wars rage in this amazingly acrimonious primary season, the skin has been ripped off the establishment in both parties, and their guts have been exposed. We're seeing the pulsing inner workings of partisan ideology as never before. On the Republican side, conservatives marshaled by leading radio hosts have hotly rebelled against the onrushing nomination of Sen. John McCain, who has been vilified for years for his ...
WA Head of state GOP fends off accusations

OLYMPIA -- Fielding accusations from a major GOP candidate that the state Republican Party is comparable to the old Soviet Union probably isn't what Luke Esser had in mind when he took over as party chairman last year. He knew he faced a tough task. Republicans were reeling after the 2006 elections, in which the party lost control of the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate and gave up more ground to majority Democrats in the Legislature. But Esser had settled into a comfortable groove. Gearing up for the upcoming gubernatorial rematch between Republican Dino Rossi and Gov. Chris Gregoire, Esser was busy sending out a steady stream of news releases highlighting Gregoire's ...
Huckabee says he's 'in sync' with Texas

WASHINGTON — Brushing off calls by Texas Gov. Rick Perry and others for him to withdraw from the presidential race, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee said Tuesday that his longshot strategy for winning the Republican nomination runs straight through Texas. "Texas is very, very important to us," Huckabee told a meeting with reporters. "We will spend a lot of time in Texas between now and March 4." Despite his strong second-place performance in Tuesday's Virginia primary, Huckabee trails far behind Arizona Sen. John McCain in the delegate race and is mathematically incapable of winning a majority of delegates on the first ballot of the Republican National ...
