- The Great Unmentionable
  Posted by Billbar
  Good read. And it's reached a point where crude straw man arguments and rank demagoguery have become the primary rhetorical tools of the Republican party. But, by alls means, let's continue pretending that both sides are equally to blame for the low quality of our political discourse.

  There is a slight pendulum shift occurring now. Let's hope it's enough to take back all of Congress in Nov.

- Daily Kos: WA-05: Goldmark on the Rise
  Posted by Jeff from Dailykos
  DailyKos gets behind Washington's own Peter Goldmark - an emerging Democratic underdog for Congress in eastern Washington. I gave him money - you should too.

- The Ghosts of Corruption Present
  Posted by Billbar from New York Times
  One of the shabbiest shell games under way in Congress is the attempt to convince voters that lawmakers are curbing their corrupt relations with power lobbyists. The cravenness was never clearer as G.O.P. House leaders passed a placebo rules change in place of honest reform — and on the very day when one of their own, Representative Bob Ney of Ohio, was plea bargaining in the corruption investigation of his old friend Jack Abramoff, the disgraced �berlobbyist and influence peddler.

- Dramatic growth in pet project spending prompts scrutiny
  Posted by Billbar from Austin-American Statesman
  An explosion in the use of earmarks by members of Congress is fueling new efforts to track the practice amid fears of rising corruption. The number of earmarks has surged almost fourfold over the past decade to 15,877 last year, according to the Congressional Research Service, the nonpartisan research arm of Congress.

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.
