'Bipartisan': Democratic cowardice, Republican obstructionist

Obama will have a mandate only if he meets expectations
(1 comments) As it becomes more and more clear that Barack Obama is likely to be the nation's 44th president, he will take to the office a mandate. That mandate, along with all the Democratic members of Congress, will last only as long as Obama meets some high expectations.

Republican Party flirting with third-party status
(1 comments) When the Republican Party loses next month's election by a landslide (or near landslide), it is likely to devolve into oblivion. Such things have happened in the past. Here's how I see it playing out.

VP debate's likely awkwardness can be conquered by Biden
Joe Biden has to be careful to not generate sympathy for Sarah Palin in Thursday's debate. His approach needs to be well thought out and executed. He should keep the focus on John McCain's weaknesses, not Palin's. Her weaknesses will be exposed by her own hand.

Neocon ideas, free-trade theory discredited
(1 comments) After the collapse of the financial markets the last two weeks, owing to lack of regulation and oversight, it's time to question the Neocons and their free-trade concepts. Truth be told, there never has been a successful free-trade economic system in the history of the world.

Bush seems intent on defrauding America
George W. Bush (the lesser) has submitted a $700 billion bailout that is nothing but a new way for corporate America to defraud taxpayers. Unfortunately for us, they are laughing all the way to the bank--with our money.

McCain's health an issue; answers demanded
(4 comments) Described as a "Dead Man Walking" and his chances of completing a single term of office as "pretty slim" by one doctor, John McCain needs to come clean with his health records. The public needs to know whether they will be facing Sarah Palin as president, which is as frightening and it is appalling.

Sept. 15 may well have been the day the election was over
McCain's fumbling responses about the biggest financial disaster since the notorious destruction of the the World Trade Center shows that as president he would be out of his league. The campaign should be over.

Examining Palin's qualifications, judgment not sexist
(1 comments) Question Sarah Palin's experience and judgment is NOT press sexist. Pundits from across the political spectrum should ram that down the throats of John McCain's lobbyist-spokesmen. The press needs to ask Palin hard questions and insist on clear answers. The American public deserves nothing less.

McCain, Palin show inexcusable judgment
John McCain and Sarah Palin's good judgment is a serious topic for discussion. The voters deserve it; the nation deserves it. They should be questioned hard on their respective judgment in choosing the VP candidate and the accepting of that offer.

Congress must prove it's an equal branch of government
(1 comments) It's one thing for congress to point to the U. S. Constitution saying it's an equal branch of government; it's quite another for them to prove it with actions. John Marshall, the fourth chief justice of the supreme court, had to prove the judicial branch was equal. Now, it's time for congress to prove it, too, is equal.
