It is important that we do not get carried away by the fever of the mob. When George W. Bush ran for the first time there was a fever of excitement because of the novelty. Getting carried away by the mob may mean a person does not think and make good choices.
However, Mr. Bush had actual substance to his policies. Mr. Bush and I are in sync about the direction of the country. The president is right about retirement investment being a personal matter, not a government r...
I plan to write two simple profiles and then ask a question.
Ms. Hillary Clinton is a woman married to a "cheater" who has on occassion defended her husband for sake of politics. In addition, she has no real values and just tows the democrat philosophical line because thats what you do when you are a democrat. Moreover, she has no several occasions stretched the truth.
Mr. Borak Obama is a person associated with a 1970's radical and a black radical minister who has had made som...
The great writer and Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison wrote once that "White skin notwithstanding, Clinton is our first black president. Blacker than any actual person could ever be elected in our childrens' lifetime". With this kind of endorsement, it is hard to fathom the fact that his wife hasd dropped to single digits as far as Arican-American vote is concerned.
The real reason for this fall is not hard to find. The highly negative campaign she ran against Obama made many believe that she...
Gee, I seem to recall someone (one particular) suggesting that Obama was falling back to Earth and that Hillary was widening the gap and gaining strength. In fact, there were some loco comments in this article: Hillary campaign insists on changing rules after the fact
So do the results that came in INdiana or North Carolina reflect that change? If so, uh, gee, I seem to be missing it.
A time of great change is upon us. In the last few weeks there were riots in the streets of Egypt, Somalia, Haiti, Morocco, Madagascar, Thailand and Mauritania. And this is just the beginning. Here in Canada, Filipinos are buying up rice and shipping it back home to the Philippinnes, another country that may soon see rioting.
The people in these nations were not rioting over politics or ideology. They were not rioting because of religion or human rights abuses by thei...
For years democrats have been manipulating primary elections so they can have a weak challenger for their candidate. They did it in 2000 by voting for Senator McCain against Governor Bush. It did not work but they tried hard in several elections previous now it seems that doing this is a bad thing. When it happened to republicans it was okay and fair. When it happens to democrats, i.e. “operation chaos”, it is a bad thing. Maybe next election they will let republicans determine who we want for e...
You could see this coming from a mile away... Apparently Hillary's campaign learned some lessons (the wrong ones apparently) from the Gore 2000 campaign, most importantly if you are losing and the numbers are against you keep contesting and keep trying to get the rules changed in your favor until the math, hopefully, eventually turns in your favor.

There has been a temporary 30 yen (roughly 25 cents)/liter consumption tax on gas in Japan for the last thirty years. Don't you love the loose application of temporary? But such a loose interpretation will not lose and election for your. Having the public find out that the majority of that tax which is supposed to be used for road improvement has mainly been used for massage chairs, tennis courts, unbelievably stupid graft projects like plays or paper projects to promote useles...
Many folks like to harp against the evils of big government and how all it does is create a stumbling block for industrious private business with endless reams of red tape, taxes and laws. In some regards, these complaints are entirely valid. But government organizations play a crucial role in our society. They exist to ensure the protection and best interest of the public, both physically and financially.
This necessity exists for a simple reason- someone's gotta be the traffic cop and ...

If you are one of the multitude of folks out there who think that somehow you will "get Mr. Exxon" with a magical tax on oil profits let me disabuse you of the notion. Such a tax would only hurt you the consumer and the economy at large.
Firstly, costs are fungible. Whether these costs are material inputs, labor, or taxes makes no difference as all are equally redistributed not to the business itself but rather to the consumers who bu...
The president did not misspeak. When he was on the naval ship in front of banner 'Mission Accomplished", the president was right. Sadam had been removed from power and the Iraqi Army had given up the fight.
The mission was to take Sadam out of power. He was the leader of Iraq. The war was against Iraq. Once the leader leaves and the army stops fighting, the war is over.
It was not Mr. Bush's fault that the religious zealots wanted to control the country with i...
Fantastic! All we need now is another government entitlement program.
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Medicare is lurching toward disaster and it is too late for the Bush Administration and Congress to do anything about it, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt said on Tuesday.He said the next administration will have to act to stop rising costs and get control of the $400 billion federal health insurance plan for the elderly, which now covers 44 million people."
Many people with criminal backgrounds experience legal discrimination and blatant bigotry within general society. Though there are indeed certain heinous crimes that warrant these actions or consequence, this does not make up the vast majority of crimes committed. I have compiled some information to show those of you who wish to be the “lock ‘em up and throw away the key” types, that your views are homes built on sand. We are all accountable for our choices, whether criminal or...
