I think special elections should be outlawed unless it is to replace an elected official who has died or otherwise hard to leave office. Governments often run special elections to pass issues due to low turnout that wouldn’t pass in a regular election. Special elections are a manipulation of the electoral system […]

President Bush has had a lot of problems lately and he needs to fix them quickly. Maybe Bush needs to think outside the box and try some unusual ideas to turn things around, not only for his legacy, but for the good of the country. Thinking outside the box I would suggest […]

In these days when we talk about how to honor the 2000+ troops lost in Iraq I think that Scooter Libby’s excuse that “he forgot” about exposing a CIA agent’s identity as part of selling this fraudulent war to the world is more than just hard to believe. I think it’s an […]

When it comes down to it the real reason that this nomination failed is because she was a totally incompetent, inexperienced, unqualified, and a Bush cronie - so much so that even Republicans couldn’t stomach it. Especially after the Michael Brown FEMA disaster. I was looking forward for a longer process before it failed. […]

It is somewhat ironic that Vice President Dick Cheney is trying to weaken the anti-torture bill to create loopholes allowing suspected criminals to be tortured when he is facing possible criminal charges himself. As someone who may of outed the identity of an undercover CIA agent it makes me wonder of Cheney […]

On the eve of criminal indictments against top Bush administrations officials America has now lost 2000 of our military in Iraq. They all died because Bush lied to America fabricating evidence to trick us into an unjust war. We are losing this war and perhaps rightfully so because, like Vietnam, we are […]

Tom Dalay pranced into court demanding the judge recuse himself because he’s a Democrat. In Texas judges are elected and all of them are either Democrats or Republicans.

It’s seems that Iraq has passed it’s constitution - or have they? More people voted for the constitution than there were registered voters in some areas. Some people might disagree wether or not a constitution approved by a rigged vote is legitimate. But there’s one think I think we can agree on […]

But what they don’t get is that Bush doesn’t need them […]

There’s an old saying, “The most important thing in politics is sincerity. Once you learn how to fake that you have it made.” Today President Bush demonstrated that principle with a fake teleconference where Bush pretended to do an unscripted interview with troops in Iraq. However they forgot that the cameras […]

It would be like declaring martial law in order to stop the spread of a disease. But Bush refuses to infringe on any corporate pharmaceutical patents that […]
