      The War Within John McCain

      Posted by chuckt from Washington Post

      He thinks the way the White House has handled Iraq "'will go down as one of the worst' mistakes in the history of the American military," writes the Washington Post. "'One of the most frustrating things that's ever happened in my political life is watching this train wreck.'"

      Known as the Internet Freedom Preservation Act (S.215), the bill would require network operators to run their network in a "nondiscriminatory manner"—certain types of traffic or traffic from certain sources could not be hampered or prioritized, but operators would still be free to offer different tiers of service.

    Waxman Ousts Dingell From Energy Chair In Bruising Dem Fight

    Dingell’s kowtowing to the auto industry lobbyists (and his wife who works at GM) has apparently passively led them to near bankruptcy. Not good for them – not good for the country. Time for change. Waxman has integrity – and will take on climate change.

    Jobless Rate Highest in 14 Years - NYTimes.com

    though my memory may be faulty, i do believe that the last time it was so high, the Clinton Admisitration worked with Congress to get it all fixed.

    . . .but the wheel turns around. . .deja vu all over again. . .

    You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

    I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.

    However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

     . . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.

    i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this.  otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

    Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.

    Hi okami,

    I don’t know if USA are a racist nation, I don’t think so and I hope not. But I agree with you 100% on the other bits of your comments!

    this type of story is why i don’t and won’t belong to any church.  Nietschze was 100% correct when he said that "Christianity died on the cross."

    people fear change and the future and uncertainity. 

    this is also a racist nation; the 12 of September 2001 proved that.  it will take about another 400 years to get rid of it. . .maybe.
