Why Hillary and Barack WILLNOT Pledge to End The Occupation
It makes no sense, to give Bush anything he wants. He should be SHUT-DOWN by the Democratically controlled Congress. Just don't bring any of his programs or nominations up for a vote. No need to defeat a filibuster if there's no bill on the floor. So, why?
“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”
The base of the Democratic Party wants an end to the Iraq war. The base of the Republican Party wants and end to the epidemic of abortions. Both parties made promises they haven't kept. Who's calling who fooled?
Defeat the Beast
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:12).
Draft College Republicans
Here's a video report from Max Blumenthal. Draft College Republicans
Libby
President Bush commuted Scooter Libby's prison sentence wiping away two and half years of jail time with the stroke of a pen. President Bush ignored Libby's felony conviction for lying to investigators, ignored the jury's guilty verdict, and ignored the rule of law that governs our nation.
Anyone? Anyone?
Richard Cheney (hereafter referred to as Cheesey) had yet to become really really rich. He knew that as president he could manipulate US spending to his pocket but also knew he was unelectable (A face even his mother wouldn't love.) 2 Cheesey looked about to find a pretty boy cheerleader to put in front of him. Ah, his old friend George HW Bush's son, George. An addict, drunk, with a phenomenally low IQ.
Immigration Bill
Well, thank goodness that's over. Now, can we get onto the real issue? Almost never heard in the year-long pseudo debate on Immigration Reform was any reference to what actually needs doing, and what is remarkably easy to accomplish: Pay employees a living wage. All employees.
Conserv-a-click Campaign
Ladies and gentlemen - I want you to click on ad banners from conservative bloggers sites. You think I'm out of my head right? Wrong.
Bird Flu Pandemic
Rising numbers of Bird Flu cases transmitted to humans signals beginning of possible pandemic.
You have Two Choices - Pay me or Pay me
Bush talks tough about why the democrats have to do things his way. Perhaps he's forgotten that Congress is a whole arm of government. But the political delay is the Veto, not Congress refusing to support the troops. It's the President's threatened act of veto which is a politically motivated undermining of the stated need for funding of our military leaders.
McKinney? Doyle?
What a break! Homeland Security Deputy Press Secretary Brian J. Doyle was arrested on charges of seducing a child... And the same day, Georgia Democratic Representative Cynthia McKinney hit a Capitol Policeman with her cell phone. So, what s the buzz? Why, McKinney, of course!
Evolution of a Nation
Just some thoughts. Maybe worthless, but still, just thinking. 200 plus years ago, every "nation" on earth was a dictatorship. A monarchy to be sure, but no one voted for those monarchs. Still other places on earth weren't nations at all, and had no "Heads of State."
The Resentment Tribe
The Human Condition - the ancient struggle of man's Liberty versus Enslavement - has been cast in every generation by every name. In our lives, it is Right vs Left. But make no mistake, every tribe has been enslaved, and every tribe the enslaver. Everyone is called Today, choose life or death, good or evil.
Ann Coulter
Creepy, isn't she.
The Bomb
North Korea says it has one.
Why the Web
The American system of government depends on a free and vigorous press. It is absolutely vital for American voters to get the truth, the whole truth, in order to make informed decisions. That systems is irrevocably broken. Hence, the Web.
Reservists Refuse Iraq Mission
Reservists refuse mission citing faulty or unsafe equipment. Is it a breakdown in command or are the soldiers on the ground not as 'gung ho' as Bush would have us believe?
Cheney v Edwards
Each side claims victory. Cheney made only a few really whopping errors - Edwards didn't make any. Clearly, Kerry/Edwards won the first two debates. Can they turn it into an election win?
Swift Boat Reprise
The new Swift Boat polical commercials are out. Fortunately, the producers and actors involved in this series has already been discredited. These bombs, which might have been more dangerous to Kerry, have been defused.
Maybe God Should Have The Final Word
Proverbs 6:16 There are six things which Yahweh hates; Yes, seven which are an abomination to him: 6:17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood; 6:18 A heart that devises wicked schemes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief, 6:19 A false witness who utters lies, And he who sows discord among brothers.
Don't Cha Hate Rumors
I know I do. And rumors are so hard to disprove. Like, Did John Kerry Lie About His Viet Nam Service?
Finishing the Job
Before the President of the United States took our nation to War in Iraq, most Americans were ambivalent, some were in favor of the war, others against it. Now, most Americans are no longer ambivalent - they want out of Iraq.
It's Pure Propaganda
Bush and his surrogates are willing to call Kerry a liar. They're willing to say his service in Viet Nam was dishonorable. What do you suppose they're willing to say about Muqtada al Sadr?
Unintended Consequence?
For more than 600 years, infant girls have been killed in one town...only boys allowed to grow to maturity. Their wives are purchased for them and imported when the boys are old enough to marry and reproduce.
Fear Factor
Hurricane Charley blew through Florida, and no matter what else is going on in the world, the 24 hour news channels are determined to show us every detail.
Lying Liars...You Know
There was a time when people had a concept of honor. When it mattered what one said. When liars were shunned, pilloried, tarred and feathered. No more.
Where's the Outrage
Remember Travelgate? When the Clinton's moved into the White House, they found that the Executive Travel Office employees were taking kick-backs from journalists for scheduling them to go on Whte House junkets. So they fired them.
On The Stump
CNN - Candy Crowley - the independent thinking reader of the news that she is - broke from reading the news to compare Teresa Heinz Kerry with George W Bush.
Blessed Are the Peacemakers
I admit it - I'm a cockeyed optimist. Four years ago, as the calendar ticked off the moments to the millennium, my thoughts were "What if...1000 years without a war..."
Bush Hater?
Republican talking point - The Dems don't love Kerry, they hate Bush. Wrong again. I don't love Kerry, I don't know Kerry. And I don't hate Bush, I don't know Bush. I hate what Bush has done, I hate how Bush has chosen to live his life. But mostly, I hate how Bush has chosen to live MY LIFE!
Military Records Controversy
Mr. Kerry served in the Navy in Viet Nam. Mr. Bush stayed at home in Texas and Alabama. So, where's the beef?
Moore v O'Reilly
O'Reilly, riding the coattails of Moore's successful Fahrenheit 911, ached to get another go at the unabashedly liberal filmmaker. He got his chance. Access the transcript here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,127236,00.html
Why the Media Lied
Definition of insanity: keep doing the same thing and expect a different outcome. So, why do we expect to get the truth from the media?
Allawi Passes His Initiation
In a scene that rivals a James Cagney/Humphrey Bogart Gangster film, Newsweek Covers Allawi Summary Execution of six detainees days before the "handover" of sovereignty. What? Now that he's proven himself to be a murderer, he join the ranks of War Criminals Bush and Blair.
A WORD ON WORDS
A bunch of entertainers got together last night to raise money for the Kerry/Edwards ticket - and trashed Bush/Cheney while they were at it.
SADDAM TRIAL
This is just the kind of education we need: A Head of State put on trial for policies he implements while in office.
Repeating History
The installation of an American puppet government renders meaningless the “handover.” "If the handover of authority had been accompanied by the withdrawal of the occupation troops, it would have been a proper handover and today would have been a day of festivities for all Iraqis to celebrate," Abdul Sattar Abdul Jabbar, a member of the association, said on Al-Jazeera television. "But what took place, as we've seen, is a formality."
Quagmire
The US bombed a house in Fallujah today, killing 16 people. Sound familiar?
Ode to Mike E, With Aplogies to the Rest of the World
Readers of the TIP forums may have noticed the rantings of a certain Mike e.
Why They Did It
There is an aspect of the Abu Ghraib-Gate scandal that has yet to be addressed. And there's a good reason for that: Americans are usually polite people who shrink from causing unnecessary harm or embarassment. However ugly the truth may be, though, it should be told. THOSE GUYS ARE STUPID!!
Outrage
Senator Jim Imhofe of Oklahoma is Outraged by the Outrage. Too bad he's not outraged by this Outrageous War. Hopefully, Oklahoma will be Outraged by their Outrageous Senator and send him back to whatever swamp he crawled out of.
So Many Scandals, So Little Time
Has anyone else noticed the profusion of scan'lous George W Bush Administration Books lately? Why are there entire books written on the subject, but nothing in the newspapers? On CNN? ABC? CBS? NBC? We know why its not on FOX...
Paul Wolfowitz to replace Bremer?
Its out there, folks. Hard to believe that anyone would come up with such a bad idea, let alone anyone would take it seriously, but there it is. The American Enterprise Institute, where the NeoCons make their home, are pushing for it.
Images of J Edgar
I love Robert Novak. He's such a goof. Reminds me of the old man - kind of dotty, used to know something, but the synapses have long since lost their connections.
Let's Start A War
A Gas War. Here's a plan that might work. At least it's worth a try.
America's Dysfunctional Government
Everyone I know either is already, is soon to be, or should be - participating in a 12-Step program.
Bush Drops THE BOMB
or How the Neo-Khans conned the IAEA.
Congress Goes AWOL
Once again Congress Ron Paul of Texas cuts through the webs spun by those responsible for the mess in Iraq and reveals the treason that brought us to this sorry place. The President and Congress all pledge to uphold the Constitution, but they don't.
A First Step in the Intelligence Review
We really can't expect the President to do a credible investigation of why he sent American Soldiers to die in an unnecessary war. He won't even ask that question.
A Beginning of Evil
The deep of winter is, perhaps, the best time to curl up under a throw and read. Molly Ivins, my favorite author, recommends three books. Let those that enter, BEWARE!!!
U.S. Military Dismisses Iraq Attacks
The Iraqi Resistance continues to attack foreign strongholds. American General says it just proves "...we don't have the best intelligence in the world..." but dismisses the attacks as "militarily insignificant."
May I Interrupt
While the US media does its sleep walk through yet another star-studded scandal, more Americans are dying in Iraq.
IRAQ HAD NO WMD PROGRAM
It may not be news to most of the world, but the Bush Administration has finally gotten the message. They don't like it, but they got it.
There are Moments
There are days that I don't feel like taking up the sword. Days I'd rather go shopping or spend time with people I love. Then I read this on Eschaton: Some asshole has intimidated a Marine's Girl into shutting down her site. Always have their eyes on the prize, these people. And I'm more determined than ever to keep on keeping on.
The TIP Tops the Charts
Thanks to excellent reporting, excellent readership and really appalling leadership on the part of the US Government, the TIP continues to rise in citizen's esteem.
Stagflation
The situation was thought impossible before Bush I (or at least that's the story they told then). But here's the deal. Consumer Price Indexes are up - things are more expensive. Jobs are down, wages are down. People have less money. We have inflation, we have stagnation. It's a Capitalist Contradiction
We Can't Do Much, But
Soldiers in Iraq have little to do in their off hours. One soldier asked his father to send some books. We can do that!
Who Goes to Jail
So, Rush Limbaugh is doing drugs. Kobe Bryant is having sex. Karl Rove is leaking CIA information. George Bush is lying. Dick Cheney is using his office for profit. Bill Clinton lied under oath. Robert Novak outed a CIA operative.
Watching the HenHouse
Powerful Politicos on CNN and MSNBC have made serious mis-steps that must force a thinking electorate to ask, "What's really behind this reporting?"
Novak Faking Naivete
Robert Novak, a Talking Head with 40 years experience in Washington DC, feigns innocence as he allows himself to be used to commit a felony.
What the Heck's Going On?
If we're ever going to find out what's really gone on before and during the Disastrous Dumbo Bush Administration, we're going to have to take back Congress from the Repubicans.
Out On A Limb
The complaint heard over and over again is "We complain, but have no answers." Here's a few suggestions.
Diebold Caught In the Act
Questions concerning the propriety of using Diebold voting machines have been gaining credance. The Plain Dealer's found Diebold's hand in the cookie jar.
8/28 Ringing in My Ears
The cable news outlets are talking about Arnold Swartzenegger today. And the 9-1-1 tapes for 9/11/01 that the New York Fire Department released today. What are we missing?
A Great Summer Read - Jim Hightower Reminds Us What We've Lost
When did you first realize or at least begin to suspect that America was lost? Not physically, of course–we’re right here. Lost its way, is what I mean, having wandered from the brave and true path first pointed out by Tom Paine, T.J., Jimmy Madison, and several other good thinkers back around 1776 a path toward a society focused not on empire, but on enlightenment and egalitarianism.
Iraq-Gate Claims First Civilian Casualty
David Kelly, the British Scientist who may have accused PM Tony Blair of "sexing up" the Africa-Iraq intelligence, is missing.
