Michael Collins: Election Fraud 2004 - The Case Heats Up

What impact will the massive destruction of evidence by Ohio counties have on the federal case charging criminal election fraud in the 2004 presidential election? Some, but the case is still viable. Devastating findings by researchers for the plaintiffs are reviewed and a motive the destruction is provided.

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson: A New Realism for a New Century: Presidential Candidate Bill Richardson Outlines His Foreign Policy Agenda

A brilliant analysis by this Presidential candidate, on reshaping America's Foreign Policies, especially in the context of trying to rebuild international trust and international economics, in the wake of Blackwater, Brown and Root, and Halliburton, and the past 7 years of corporate-manipulated governmental policies at all levels.

Amy Fried: Hillary and Gender, One More Time

The gender dynamics for Hillary are different in the primary campaign, than they were with Rick Lazio as her opponent.

Dave Lindorff: Double Standards at the New York Times
When it comes to candidate Kucinich or to the topic of impeachment, the Times forgets all about its vaunted wall between reportage and opinion.

Jim Freeman: SCHUMER & CO, SLOPPING AWAY AT THE TROUGH
Sixty grand to buy the United States Senate. Two hundred-fifty grand buys the United States President. Twenty grand here and twenty grand there positions Halliburton, Blackwater, Boeing and their 'privatization of government' enthusiasts to simply take our democracy away and hide it.

Mary MacElveen: The hypocrisy of both Mitt Romney and Pat Robertson In closing in calling for the assassination of Pres. Hugo Chavez and later apologizing Robertson was clearly not showing signs of being pro-life. At least when it comes to the pro-life movement, Pres. Chavez puts his money where his mouth is.

John Edwards talks about ending Bush's "preventative war doctrine" and how to diplomatically engage with Iran.

New Mexico State Senator Jerry Ortiz y Pino: Hillary Is a Symptom of America's Malaise
A startling and incisive analysis and response to the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, which is becoming perhaps too bland and too non-commital to be much more than a symbol and manifestation, or part and parcel of our collective ideological and political malaise as a nation.

Glen Greenwald: What happened to the Senate's "60-vote requirement" Dems, on Mukasey Vote Fold? Dems keep blaming the 60 votes the need in the senate to pass a bill. But 43 dems and Bernie Sanders said they opposed Mukasey's confirmation. So... w...

Bernie Sanders Speaks on Frustration With Congress Geoff Millard interviews (video) Senator Sanders, who from an Independent perspective discusses the Democrats' footdragging. They are centrist, meaning some are progressive but others aren't. Same is true of Republicans in Senate in a lesser manner. His advice is to not give up on the issues important to the people, who have the power. It takes time. He cites women's suffrage and the civil rights movement.

Sidney Blumenthal: Bush's old world disorder Every aspect of Bush's foreign policy has now collapsed.Every dream of neoconservatism has become a nightmare.Every doctrine has turned to dust.The influence of the US has reached a nadir, its lowest point since before WWII,when the country was encased in isolationism.Bush still clings to his high-flown rhetoric as if he's warming up for his second inaugural address. But this is not rock-bottom; there is further to fall.

Scheer: Our kind of dictator

So, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, treated ever so respectfully by George W. Bush throughout his administration (as highlighted by the general being the first Pakistani leader to ever visit Camp David), has turned out to be just another crummy dictator. But he was our dictator, kind of a modern, even Westernized one, who could stand up to all of those bearded Islamic terrorists.

The Economic Consequences of Mr. Bush


When we look back someday at the catastrophe that was the Bush administration, we will think of many things: the tragedy of the Iraq war, the shame of Guantánamo and Abu Ghraib, the erosion of civil liberties. The damage done to the American economy does not make front-page headlines every day, but the repercussions will be felt beyond the lifetime of anyone reading this page.

Blumenthal: Bush's old world disorder


Musharraf's coup spectacularly illustrates the Bush effect. His speech of Nov. 3, explaining his seizure of power, is among the most significant and revealing documents of this new era in its cynical exploitation of the American example. In his speech, Musharraf mocks and echoes Bush's rhetoric. Tyranny, not freedom, is on the march.

Sinking Currency, Sinking Country - Patrick Buchanan


Have gold, silver, oil, the euro, the pound and the Canadian dollar all suddenly soared in value in just a few years? Nope. The dollar has plummeted in value, more so in Bush's term than during any comparable period of U.S. history. Indeed, Bush is presiding over a worldwide abandonment of the American dollar.

Kucinich is Wrecking the Dem 2008 Strategy

We have Democrats running and hiding, afraid to stand up to the President even when he gets caught breaking the law. We have the media mindlessly reporting GOP talking points even when they are factually false and when the falsehood could be easily verified with about 60 seconds of research. And we have Republicans accusing those few Democrats who are willing to criticize the Leader of being on the side of Terrorists...

Will Bush Suck the GOP Down the Drain With Him?


We 've written about how the lunatic fringe of the GOP has taken over the party.They are all vying to be voted head wacko of the lunatic fringe. Running on a platform of heightened Bushism, they seem to think the reason three-quarters of the country has turned against the president is because he just wasn't extreme enough. So the problems of the GOP will only intensify when Bush packs his bags.

Olbermann's Harshest Indictment of Bush Administration Yet


"In light of the recent revelations related to Daniel Levin, former acting assistant attorney general for the Bush administration in 2004, Keith Olbermann cuts to the chase in a lengthy Special Comment and clearly accuses George W. Bush of criminal acts that warrant trial and imprisonment," reports Thought Theatre. Olbermann charges that Bush & Co.'s overriding concern at this point is just to stay out of jail.

Frank Rich on the Politics of Saber-Rattling over Iran

Joe Biden quipped that there are only 3 things in a Giuliani sentence: "a noun, a verb and 9/11." Meanwhile, Hillary the frontrunning Democrat has voted for a resolution supporting Bush to use force against Iran. Rich warns that this could mean trouble for Hillary in 2008: Noun+verb+9/11 - also Bush's strategy in 2004 - would once again square off against a Democrat who was for a preemptive war before being against it.

Why Left and Right Must Unite


The globalizers know that in order to keep our eyes off of them, they need to keep us fighting among ourselves over issues more petty than merely saving our nation from total extinction. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, who cared about political party affiliation? Men (and women) dropped everything to defeat the common enemy. Why? Because survival of their country was as risk! We face just such a time as that.

GEORGE F. WILL--Congress's Unused War Powers Americans are wondering, with the lassitude of uninvolved spectators, whether the president will initiate a war with Iran.

Giuliani is Mideast's worst nightmare

A President Giuliani would be like Bush on steroids. His benign campaign persona masks his saber-rattling, neocon persuasion. Mid-east hawks help develop his foreign policy. He's for American troops staying in Iraq for the foreseeable future and believes only war will work in Iran. War-nut Giuliani once returned a $10 million disaster aid check to a Saudi prince who suggested the US reexamine its Middle East policies.

The top US conservatives and liberals

To qualify for the lists, people have to live and work in the United States. Conservatives are people identifiably – though not always self-described – as right of centre. Liberals – though the term is an unpopular one in the US, with even Hillary Clinton preferring "progressive" – are those identifiably left of centre.
