What an exhilarating feeling it was for a change to see over 200,000 people waving American flags and applauding an American citizen in a foreign country, instead of stomping our flag or burning the president in effigy.
Chicago Tribune Excerpt:The famous sociopathic gasbag Rush Limbaugh melted down into a full-jacketed spasmodic attack when he heard Obama opine that America is not perfect.
"I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions." -- Barack Obama
Grumpy McBush Dares Obama, Then Whines
An advisor for the McCain campaign, former Senator Phil Gramm, recently said, "nation's leaders, not its people, were whiners."
Chicago Tribune Excerpt:I have never seen a credible presidential candidate repeatedly whine and make stuff up about his opponent as McCain has done.
Besides, it's his own fault that Obama is getting so much attention. For weeks, McCain has been practically taunting his opponent into visiting Iraq--making it that much more newsworthy when Obama actually did.

Young Republicans Attempting To Resurrect GOP Of Old
It just goes to show, being old has nothing to do with age, but in politics it has plenty to do with going back to the way things used to be. After what this country has been through in the past eight years, I'd think people want something different than to go backwards to the kind of policies that brought us to this point.
Not the Young Republicans though. They want to return to the roaring 80's and the time of Ronald Reagan. That is their idea of change.
Washington Post Excerpt:Get a load of that. "Focused on solutions" working in Gingrich’s non-partisan group.
"I'm focused more on solutions than partisanship," Cameron says. He began working for Gingrich's nonpartisan group last month, pushing the former House leader's "Drill Here. Drill Now. Pay Less" campaign to advocate for drilling off the coast of Florida and in other domestic oil fields.
Death Of The Internet
Excerpt:This is coming. We've got corporate worshipping elitists posing as legislators who lay awake at nights licking their chops over the idea of a multi-tiered internet.
The plan is to convert the Internet into a cable-like system, where customers sign up for specific web sites, and then pay to visit sites beyond a cutoff point.
And you know it too, they’ll make up whatever excuse it takes, but most likely will promote it’s necessity on matters of national security. That always works. If they don’t put a tollbooth on the information highway, they’ll break it into at least two worlds, one for shoppers and traditional media services, and one for bloggers, watchdogs and everybody else who don’t conform to their ideas of freedom.
Information Clearing House:If there’s one thing the traditional media hates is that simple web pages and blogs like this one are on an equal access footing with them. They hate it that folks, regardless of their income, can access this page without paying an extra dime. But most of all, they hate the atmosphere of equality and the First Amendment of the Internet -- the governing principle of "net neutrality," which prevents telecommunications corporations from rigging the Web so it is easier to visit sites that pay for preferential treatment.
The little guys on the Net will fall likes flies; Bloggers and small website operators will die a quick death because people will not pay to go to their sites and read their pages.
Capital Times Excerpt:
June 13, 2006 - Siding with the telephone and cable company lobbies, and against consumers, were Wisconsin Republicans Mark Green, Paul Ryan and Tom Petri. Also voting the wrong way was Wisconsin Democrat Ron Kind, a so-called "new Democrat" who frequently splits with his party on issues of interest to corporate donors.
Venezuela, Russia Form Energy Alliance
Why is it that old cold war KGB rooskies get the cherub-faced socialist Chavez for an oil partner and we get this?
Why is it we'll bed down with terror-fascist states halfway around the world, but we won’t even talk to Cuba or Venezuela from as close as 90 miles away? Before Iraq became the worst blunder in modern U.S. history, our bungled relationship with Cuba held that distinction followed by this administration's mishandling of Hugo Chavez.McPig: John's Problem With Women
Alternet Excerpt:
McCain is ignorant about pay equity, wants to overturn Roe v. Wade and likes to brag about his "sexual conquests" and visits to a strip club.
