Its not about the party. Its about the people. Ah, the hypocrits are out telling Hillary Clinton to quite the race for "the good of the party." Well, it isn't about the Democratic party. It's about what's good for the people, and what's good for the people is a race that plays itself out to the end. Enough with the closed-door superdelegate dealings engineered by the Democratic 'elite.' The Democratic primary system is corrupt and must change.

The Politics of Hypocrisy: McCain slips out from under his rock John McCain slithered down to the Lower 9th District last week determined to paint himself as a 'kinder, gentler' GOP candidate and to rail at the Bush administration's failed response to Hurricane Katrina. One thing everyone (read: Mainstream Media) failed to tell the public was about McCain's part in shaping that dismal response. How hypocritical can a candidate get?

Don't look now, but the terrorists have won The nation we have become under President George W. Bush has been shaped by the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Our present government is unrecognizable, taking away our civil liberties, torturing prisoners of war, and lying at every turn. Don't look now, folks, but in spite of our verbal bravado, the terrorists have won.

The selling of the mainstream media: A threat to American democracy Investigative journalists are a dying breed. Today, American media is in desperate condition. Owned by corporations with their own political agendas, the mainstream media digests pre-packaged news from the White House and regurgitates it back to the American people. Now the FCC wants to further relax media ownership rules which will result in good news for big business and more bad news for American democracy.

Why we have no business boycotting the Olympics Why should we boycott the opening ceremony of the Olympics when we refuse to hold our own leaders accountable? It was a nice photo op for Nancy Pelosi, but I hardly think she's the one to speak about oppression when she has been oppressing articles of impeachment against the Bush administration since she assumed power.

McCain: That was then (Flip). This is now (Flop). The mainstream media, as usual, is asleep at the switch when it comes to John McCain. This time they're failing to judge him by the company he keeps, like the radical Reverend John Hagee and his "spirutual guide" the Reverend Rod Parsley. Yet his endorsements from these two right wingnuts present a clear future danger to American foreign policy.

The Bankrupting of America Do you believe President Bush's prediction that we'll be operating in the black by 2012? There's no way that's going to happen if his disastrous economic policies are continued and the Iraq war is allowed to drag on indefinitely. It's time for a reality check on the U.S. economy.

What will be in the Bush Library? How will George Bush be remembered years down the road? the NeoCons will, of course, position him as a great leader in a time of crisis. Others will remember him as a man whose ignorance and arrogance combined in disastrous fashion to permanently tarnish America's reputation. What will they put in the Bush Library at SMU? What historical moments stand out? I have some ideas.

Americans are out of touch with reality on the war So, American's think "the war is going pretty well" right now. By whose measure? If you're an Iraqi citizen, you may have a different opinion.

The Case for Impeachment Just because George W. Bush only has about eleven months left in office, this is no time to back off on impeachment. The evidence against Bush is more than compelling enough to warrant impeachment and it will serve to raise the cloak of Executive Privilege the administration has so frequently hidden itself under.

Vote McCain in 2008 (if you think George W. Bush deserves a third term) Shedding light on a presidential candidate who has been giving a "bye" from the mainstream media. Electing John McCain is essentially giving a third term to George W. Bush. And by the way, he isnt the special interest-disdaining, lobbyist disliking candidate he paints himself to be.
