Republicans Role in a Democratic Government

What will be the role of the remaining Republicans in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives now that Democrats control the whole shebang? There is a lot of discussion on this topic taking place, and a tug-o-war taking place between the GOP leadership and many of the remaining elected Republicans. I can't know how this will turn out, but, some options appear clearer than others.

High Finance Woes

I can't offer any insights or solutions to the financial, so called, crisis. I am too young and undereducated being just out of High School. I did take an economics course. That doesn't qualify me to offer a knowlegable opinion on what has taken place these last 9 days or so in Congress. I am however, a newly registered voter who is watching the news and reading the blogs. I am not impressed. In fact, I am angry!

Controversy in a Nutshell: Palin's Book Banning

ST. PAUL, MN - SEPTEMBER 03: U.S presidential ...

A dear friend recently told me that she could never support Sarah Palin, in part because she supports book banning. Alarmed, I researched the issue and found a very different story.

Parting Shots: The Bush Administration's Assault on Women's Health Care

Picture this: Joe-sixpack walks into his local pharmacy hands his prescription for Cialis to the Pharmacist and turns to sit in the waiting area. But before one of Joe's cheeks touches the seat, the Pharmacist calls him over to inform him of some sad news; that his prescription won't be filled.

Where Is Bush?

Where is President Bush? Why don't I hear or read anything about the President of the United States taking action on the economy or the wars we're in? Where could he be..?

Hope For Obama!

Right up to the day after the elections, my brain manufactured the suspicion that even though Obama won, he would not be permitted to sit in the Oval Office. I wish I could have that part of my brain removed. It is the part of my brain where cynicism, pessimism, and hopelessness lurk and probe for an opening to take control of my actions. I was able to block that part of my brain long enough to go vote for Barack Obama. Now, weeks after his election, I am more hopeful than ever.

How low can we go? Photoshop and Campaign Attacks

This week I received in the mail, from a 527 organization (National Republican Trust PAC), a piece (link) passively alleging a connection between Barack Obama and Mohammed Atta, the 9/11 hijacker responsible for organizing the 9/11 attacks on our nation.

Obama's Message To America

Wow. That was powerful. Tonight America saw Barak Obama, not as the wild-eyed radical terrorist that the McCain campaign tries to paint him as, but as an earnest, likeable young man who wants to do right by this great country of ours.

Consumers Have More Power than Government to Rescue Economy

When I was young talk about millions of dollars impressed me. When I was older talk about billions of dollars dismayed me. Now, regular talk about trillions of dollars, especially government spending, nauseates me. People never seem to learn that they control the fate of the American economy.

Illinois Citizens Deserve Corrupt Government

The current Illinois governor, Rod Blagojevich, recently charged with crimes by the federal government, just follows in the footsteps of previous convicted Illinois governors and a huge number of other Illinois officials convicted of crimes. What is remarkable is that in the 2008 election Illinois voters had the opportunity to recognize that they needed to use their constitutional convention opportunity to reform state government. They voted not to use it.

George W. Bush Belongs In Prison

Electing Barack Obama president was the first step in redeeming American democracy. The second step must be indicting ex-president George W. Bush, giving him a fair trial, finding him guilty of many criminal acts and putting him in prison. Forget revenge. Think rule of law and justice.

Unjust Deserts: Book Review

Like a law of physics, corrupt politics, unshared national wealth and uncontrolled greed combine to produce economic inequality and delusional prosperity. Now comes a book that should have been titled Stolen Wealth. This would have been more consistent with its long subtitle: How the Rich Are Taking Our Common Inheritance and Why We Should Take It Back.

Sen. Ted Stevens Spells Hope!

When the electorate, predominantly Republican, will elect a Democrat, rather than their convicted felon incumbent Sen. Ted Stevens, there is hope and reason to work within the Vote Out Incumbents Democracy movement and organization. Congratulations Alaska, on narrowly doing the right thing. We empathize with the only other choice being a Democrat.
