Jesse Jackson doesn't speak for me.
2008-07-10 15:15:00 Why is it Christian "leaders" so often seem to want the REST of us to follow precepts and/or adhere to standards of behavior that they don't apply to themselves?Have Reverend Jackson and Pastor Dobson jumped the shark?I'm glad Jesse Jackson apologized for his inappropriate language and that he's trying to do a bit of damage control. I know the media love dishing dirt and all this colorful talk (or in Jackson's case, "off color") of fruitcake and nuts, but like James Dobson before him, Jesse Jackson doesn't speak for me.read more | digg story

The media stopped following the money: CONFLICT of INTEREST
2008-06-21 11:09:00 Was it big oil money pouring into the "McCain Victory '08 Fund," as the sudden change in McCain?s stand on drilling in environmentally sensitive areas suggests? How will we ever know? There?s no benefit to a commercial news outlet in uncovering the source of the RNC PAC/527 money...It got interesting in April, but almost nobody reported it...Once Senator John McCain and the RNC began circumventing the McCain/Feingold limits via the creation of the "McCain Victory '08 Fund" with its $70,000 per individual donations they really left presumptive Democratic nominee Senator Barack Obama with no reason to keep extending his offer to limit campaign spending by accepting public financing. They sprang into faux outrage, of course, ready to accuse him of a flip-flop despite the fact they'd not accepted Obama's conditional offer. Follow the money, not the spin, and you discover that this has gone virtually unreported. The commercial media outlets have a conflict of interest; reporting ...
Obama gets AFSCME endorsement - Democratic unity growing
2008-06-19 16:20:00 According to the Associated Press: Senator Barack Obama secured the endorsement of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees [AFSCME], a large and influential union that had been backing his former Democratic rival Senator Clinton (D-NY) until she suspended her campaign.AFSCME is the largest union for workers in public service with 1.4 million politically motivated members nationwide. The unification of the two camps to put a Democrat in the White House is well underway.For discussion of what this means to and for Clinton backers, you can also visit an AFSCME discussion thread by atdnext at ClintonistasForObama.blogspot.c-om. Take note that this is a sign of healing in progress, that the members of AFSCME know who they want in the Oval Office beginning in January.read more | digg story

Most of those ?uneducated? white voters are capable of hearing the underlying text, and being insulted at the implication that their support is linked to their educational level in a sort of class-based oppression that?s familiar to them, but not welcome.Visit any Union hall, or construction site, and you will find that most know who among their ?peers? is conversant with the subtleties of any major issue, that there are on-site pundits without college degrees who garner more respect than most of the talking heads and media experts.

Obama on Native Tribal Sovereignty, the Freedmen, & NAHASDA
2008-05-03 03:10:00 Obama vs. CBC on the passage of NAHASDA "as is"In a March 13, 2008 Letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, members of the Congressional Black Caucus stated that ?members of the CBC will not support, and will actively oppose passage of NAHASDA? unless the bill contains a ?provision that would prevent the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma from receiving any benefits or funding? until they extended tribal membership to the Freedmen. The letter contained the signatures of 35 CBC members, but not the signature of White House hopeful Senator Barack Obama. The Native American community began raising questions about an Obama Presidency that could potentially support CBC efforts to undermine the rights of tribal governments to determine their own membership.Asked to clearly state his position on H.R. 2824, Obama?s campaign issued the following statement:"Tribal sovereignty must mean that the place to resolve inter-tribal disputes is the tribe itself.

Factor military duty into criticism, Mr. Limbaugh. Did you volunteer, Mr.
2008-04-04 03:54:00 Vice President Dick Cheney, who was born the same year as Jeremiah Wright, received five (5) military service deferments, four for being a student and one for being a prospective father. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, both five years younger, used their student deferments to stay in college until 1968.In 1961, amid an increasingly turbulent time in this country, after hearing President John F. Kennedy's challenge to, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," Wright gave up his student deferment, left college in Virginia and voluntarily joined the recently integrated U.S. Marine Corps. Remember, it was not until the spring of 1968 that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. All men may have been created equal, but in the U.S. in the 60s there was little assuring they would be afforded equal rights in most places. Who is the real patriot? The young man who interrupted his studies to serve his country for six years or our th...

Granted that other luminaries endorsed and commented on the Obama positions, it was Michael Bloomberg there on the podium at Cooper Union. The Senator's entire presentation is available via his web site. This surely comes at a time when voters are worried about the growing storm of foreclosures on main street while troubled about the administrations evident focus on helping out those on Wall St.Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign has accused the Obama folks of keeping the Theft of Valor story of her not exactly dodging sniper fire in Tuzla in the news to distract people from the "Wright scandal."

Bill Clinton Attacks MTVU Editorial Board On Gay Marriage
2008-03-25 14:32:00 Appearing before the MTVU Editorial Board, Former President Bill Clinton went off again, this time on Lilly Lamboy of Smith College and the MTVU Editorial Board. In the video it becaomes clear that Clinton is not only horse in his voice, but prone to becoming testy very quickly. Will there be more or fewer Gay couples in harrassment if couples can go to Massechusetts and not Utah? That was Clinton's question, but before Lilly could say anything, Bill shot back "Answer the question!" Well, you can see the exchange here, but the result pissed off Andrew Sullivan who stated that Clinton was running away from his record of having more Gays ousted from the Military than at anytime before. Clinton, incredibly, states that the Defense of Marriage Act, which protects one state from having to recognize a "pro-gay" marriage act, paints the policy of the DOA, which he backed as not being anti-Gay. He then accuses Lilly of trying to re-write history. Clinton is not helping his legacy...

2008-03-19 04:38:00 Today marks the fifth anniversary of the start of the War in Iraq. More Americans have now died in Iraq that were killed by the terrorist attacks on the 11th of September, 2001. Countless more have been injured, both physically and psychologically, yet the Veterans Administration continues to dis-serve those who they are chartered expressly to aid. They don't even want to help Veterans register to vote. Something is very wrong.The VA, as a federal agency, has the discretion under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, (the so-called Motor Voter Law) to determine if it would serve as a voter registration agency, according to election law experts. The NVRA mandated that state agencies from motor vehicle departments to welfare offices offer people the chance to register to vote, while federal agencies such as the VA can opt to register voters. Why does the VA continue to function as an impediment to our veterans on issues from disability payments to voter registration? ...

About Barack Hussein Obama
2008-02-29 16:51:00 Political analyst Stuart Rothenberg wrote a must read piece about Barack Obama and how his appeal among voters depends on their definition of "change." A lot of what Rothenberg wrote reinforces my argument that Obama's support is inflated because it seems that many of his supporters are more attracted to his presentation than his politics, even though these politics may be out of line with their own long held views. Of course, these supporters would likely retort that this is exactly why they like him so much. Obama is not about politics; he's about people and progress.I identified this inflated support as one particular potential weakness of Obama's candidacy. Assuming that Hillary Clinton does not become the nominee, it is a valid point that conservatives and Republicans should be able to take advantage of in a general election. Some of them are already trumpeting that he is "extremely liberal."The "L-word" is a tried and true way to gin up the base and fill Republican cam...
