 As midterm elections approach in America, hollow concerns are being raised by politicians and political talkers to be used as campaign issues against their opponents. Since being an elected official in this county no longer means representing the American people, the tactics used to fool them into voting for a particular candidate have been getting more and more outrageous. When our lawmakers have no interest in carrying out policies that will solve the real problems in the country such as education, fraud in our banking system, and actually changing the way healthcare companies rob customers to their graves, they have to go back to emotional schemes to sway us. READ THE REST!!! Are Obama's Opponents Racist?? 09/18/2009
 Former President Jimmy Carter sparked a few extra flames in the bellies of many Conservatives when he cited racism as a driving force behind much of the opposition to President Obama’s proposed policies. Rep Hank Johnson specifically referred to South Carolina Rep Joe Wilson’s infamous “liar” outburst toward the President on the House floor as racist enough to give the KKK enough confidence to openly intimidate the way they did in the past. With a renewed hatred for an always despised opponent in President Carter, Conservatives all over are pushing back on the controversial statements with claims that Democrats are doing nothing more than playing the race card. READ THE REST!!!  Just one week after the fallout over a NY Post cartoon depicting a police officer shooting and killing a chimpanzee while the other cop wondered who would write the next stimulus bill, the Washington Post released an apology for an upcoming article to appear in the Washington Post Magazine. That’s right, while the county debated over whether or not Rupert Murdock’s Post was spewing racist monkey business, the WaPost nibbled their nails down until finally cracking with this outburst of remorse. The Blame Game Begins--My Prez is Black 01/27/2009
 I had hope. Although I never completely believed that the pundits, commentators, talking heads, idiots, and flat out haters from the dividing portion of the Republican Party would set aside their partisan biases, I had hope that they would choose their country’s prosperity over baseless political shots. George W. Bush Drops a Religious Bomb 12/12/2008
 After nearly 8 years of disappointing and frustrating domestic and foreign policy, George W. Bush has finally found a way to offend even his most strident supporters. His interview on Nightline focused on his religious beliefs and interpretation of the Bible. Collective gasps and groans could be heard across the country when our President shot down the perceived beliefs that he took the Bible’s words literally, that evolution and Christianity can co-exist, and that people of other religions probably pray to the same Supreme Being he claims to pray to. Time For Another Bailout? 11/19/2008
 Battle lines were drawn and vigorously fought over when the federal bailout of failing U.S. banks was proposed just over a month ago. Most people simply sided with their political leanings, trusting that their elected representatives’ thoughts and actions on the controversial move benefited their beliefs the most. We argued over whether or not these companies were given free reign to carelessly conduct their business with loose, maybe nonexistent regulations. The country was engulfed in an intensely engaging and very important national election that divided us among Party lines making these types of decisions a Democratic vs. Republican one for most people. Now that the companies “we couldn’t allow to fail” have been rescued, it’s time for round two.  Tuesday night was a historic night in America and around the globe. After Barack Obama convincingly won the right to be called the 44th President of the United States, supporters here in America and around the world celebrated the actual opportunity for a new direction. It’s obvious that the actions and policies of the U.S. affect the rest of the world, and the past several years of leadership have badly damaged people here and abroad. Ted Stevens...Felon 10/27/2008
 Ted Stevens, the Republican Senator from Alaska for the last 40 years has been convicted on seven counts of corruption for accepting a string of home renovations from an oil executive and lying about it. Each count carries a maximum of 5 years in jail, tallying his possible time in the slammer at 35 years, which will never happen. The 84 year old politician has stubbornly and defiantly declared his innocence as he still vows to win reelection next Tuesday against Mark Begich. If he does pull off the victory despite this nagging little PR hit, he will be able to serve, as there is no rule keeping felons from serving in the Senate. The VP Debate...Who Won?? 10/03/2008
 After the first and last Vice Presidential debate between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin wrapped up late Thursday night, the country looked to find out who won the debate. The answer to that question can never be given to anyone, as analysts determine the victor based on anything from the facts to their looks. Debates are sometimes determined by which candidate exhibits knowledge and a firm grasp on ways to solve the country’s problems. Conversely, debates are also sometimes judged based on who wore the sharper outfit, the shape of their faces and how attractive their smiles were, and which candidate more seamlessly pulled of being a politician to seem more connected to the people watching at home. | ArchivesAugust 2010 CategoriesAll |
