The Republicans just reintroduced an amendment to the US Constitution that prohibits gay marriage. This amendment has no chance of passage — the main purpose of reintroducing it is to stir up the conservative base for the upcoming elections. But the ironic (and fun) part is looking at the list of 10 original sponsors, where […]
The west coast is definitely not a good place to be a Republican right now. First, Oregon Republican Senator Gordon Smith ran a TV ad trying to attach himself Obama’s coattails. Then California’s Governator made comments distancing himself from Republican proposals. Now this — Fox News reports several Republican candidates in the state of Washington are taking advantage […]
Here’s a tricky problem. We all have noticed that at political events, there are people sitting behind the politician that form a backdrop for the event. Most of us know that the campaigns pick the people who sit there, which is a “delicate exercise in demographics and political correctness.” On Monday, two women were prevented […]
U.S. Senator John McCain today issued the following statement on the flooding in the Midwest: Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those impacted by the flooding throughout the Midwest. Cindy and I would like to extend our sympathies to all those who have lost loved ones, and stand ready to help those in […]
From the website 23/6, in honor of Republican attacks on Michelle Obama If you don’t believe this story is true, read this. And if you don’t believe John McCain was involved, read this. UPDATE: Sorry, I’ve had to turn off comments on this post. Apparently the word “drugs” in the title was like honey to […]
On Tuesday, in his now infamous “green backdrop” speech, McCain basically called Obama a liar: You will hear from my opponent’s campaign in every speech, every interview, every press release that I’m running for President Bush’s third term. You will hear every policy of the President described as the Bush-McCain policy. Why does Senator Obama […]
While our politicians argue about whether we should bomb Iran or meet with their leaders, the well-known travel writer Rick Steves takes a film crew to Iran and finds, according to him, some of the friendliest people on the planet. It’s ironic that in most countries these days, Americans find they’re better off keeping a […]
Brutal and stunning anti-McCain video, put together in February by a Ron Paul supporter: http://www.jedreport.com/2008/06/brutal.html Discussion starting at 6:20 Reporter: “Why did you say that?” McCain: “I’m sure for all the wrong reasons.” Reporter: “And those wrong reasons would be?” McCain: “For ambition.” Reporter “For ambition?” McCain: “Sure.” In other words, for the sake of […]
It doesn’t get any more bizarre than this:
Richard Clarke appears on The Daily Show to promote his new book “Your Government Failed You”. But before they talk about that, Jon Stewart quotes the Bush administration’s response to Clarke’s previous book “Against All Enemies” from March 22, 2004: Well, why, all of a sudden, if he had all these grave concerns, did he […]
It took Al Jazeera, of all the news organizations, to do a story on what everyone knows, but the mainstream media in the US tries to ignore: the role that racism is playing in the current election: But even this news piece doesn’t cover the origins of racial tensions in Appalachia, which came about because […]
The Real McCain Why bother comparing McCain to Bush, when McCain’s own words are even crazier? Some people call him McSame, but they may have to change that to McWorse.
