- Confidence In GOP Is At New Low in Poll
  Posted by Billbar from Washington Post
  Public confidence in GOP governance has plunged to the lowest levels of the Bush presidency, with Americans saying by wide margins that they now trust Democrats more than Republicans to deal with Iraq, the economy, immigration and other issues, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll that underscores the GOP's fragile grip on power six months before the midterm elections.

- Conservative Christians Criticize Republicans
  Posted by Billbar from New York Times
  Some of President Bush's most influential conservative Christian allies are warning that they will withhold their support in the midterm elections unless Congress does more to oppose same-sex marriage, obscenity and abortion. "There is a growing feeling among conservatives that the only way to cure the problem is for Republicans to lose the Congressional elections this fall," said Richard Viguerie, a conservative direct-mail pioneer.

- The GOP's Bankruptcy of Ideas
  Posted by Billbar from Washington Post
  The emerging Republican game plan for 2006 is, at bottom, a tautology: If the Democrats retake Congress it will mean, well, that the Democrats retake Congress. (Cue lightning bolt and ominous clap of thunder.) Karl Rove and his minions have plumb run out of issues to campaign on.

  fter five straight years of profligacy, Republicans are desperately trying to portray themselves as the defenders of budget discipline. The challenge is driving them to new heights of hypocrisy.

Democrats May Kick Out Joe Lieberman If He Addresses The Republican National Convention

Addressing the Republican convention would be in the true spirit of "reaching across the aisle"... republicans have been doing it for years and it would be a welcome change.

About time. After the ‘08 elections, we won’t need Joe anymore. If the Republicans can stand him, they can have him.

Think Progress » GOP convention button asks, ‘If Obama is president…will we still call it the W

Americans ARE ready for Obama. He WILL be the next president. His policies will be no great breakthrough. But…his presence in the whitehouse will be.
If you want to fear this guy…fear his politics…NOT his race… OR his church.

And why would an African church in the U.S. not recognise America’s racism? Excluding historical American racial history for a moment, are you forgetting that Africans were not allowed by law to even learn about Christianity until long after reconstruction? Africans were not allowed to read, including the Bible. Even after reconstruction, Africans were barred from attenting White churches until well into the 1970’s. I remember, I was there and have had the experience of being told I was not welcome at an all-White church in NYC. I had to find a "Black" church were I was accepted.
To ignore this history is revisionist and dismissive of the history of traditional Europocentric racism. There is nothing anti-American or anti-White in what this church teaches. The U.S. has a long and sorry history of violent anti-Indigenous and anti-African bias, so it would be foolish to think that the theology of a people subject to such repression would not reflect this history and experience. If White American racism and genocide did not exist in the first place, such ideologies let alone churches would never have developed because their would have been no need. And to suggest that such attitudes and practises have ceased is to callously deny the obvious.

Americans are ready for a black president, but not this one,. He himself is all about skin color. He sat in church for 20 years that was all about race.
