Original article: Gore endorses Obama

Gore's endorsement

Al Gore's long awaited endorsement of Barak Obama all but shuts out the dream ticket. This should read to Hillary,"not accepting applications at this time". As the major and numerous endorsements continue to flow Obama's way,one must wonder if Al Gore's is his way of scratching a political itch. Had he been president(which he should have)for the last eight years,Gore surely would have not invaded Iraq for any reason. I think he is hell bent on cleaning up a mess that should have never been.

THE BUSH CRIME FAMILY

Why hasn't the mainstream media picked up on this? Instead of talking about Rev. Wright,or McCain's service that is forty years old already,let's get to the (many)root of the problem(Bush)that has totally ruined our country,foreign and domestically. Why this administration has been allowed to run rampant over our citizenry with no reprocussions is a national disgrace. Hopefully this case will rip open the criminal acts that Bush has committed. How fitting it would be to his legacy,other than the absolute worst president never elected,being hauled away in an orange jumpsuit.

Original article: Say it ain't so, Joe!

say it ain't so Joe

Let this ideological closet Republican enjoy his last run. I'm sure the Connecticut Yankees will see through his hollow rhetoric this time,as most,but not enough did in 2006,nearly electing Ned LaMont on an anti-war stance in the primaries. Lieberman was so shocked at possibly losing his seat,he couldn't get to town hall fast enough to change his party affilliation.That goes to show where his priorities are. He is just one of the many problems in our government,a lifer with a disdain for the average American,except on election day. He,along with many others,are classic posterboys for term limits.

Original article: Sympathy for Charles Graner

Torture

Graner deserves no mercy,but that being said,all of his CO's right up the chain should be there with him. Start by subpoening Myers and find out what he knew and why he quashed the investigation by Graner's attorney. Then,when Obama takes office,have him form his torture committee and haul in the trio of Bush,Cheney,and Rumsfeld,cuffed and shackled if neccesary. Under oath.

Original article: Are we bipartisan now?

Bipartisan?

We are not a bipartisan country at all. We are a nation deeply divided by far right wing assinnity,liberalism,et al. Our government is run by a group of corrupt frauds posing as representatives. Who they are representing is beyond me. It is almost as if every American is on his or hers own. Witness the Wall Street bailout. Maybe we are bipartisan,in division only.

Cantor's BS

These Republicans couldn't put together a one sandwich menu.

Obama's exceedingly familiar justifications for escalation

The "new" approach to Afghanistan touted by White House officials seems quite old

It's almost impossible to find a nation with as many torture advocates as the U.S. has.

The poster boy for progressive self-delusion

Read Hayden's 2008 Obama endorsement to remember the way the left sold our centrist president to itself
