 I almost died when I saw that the ACLU was preparing a lawsuit on behalf of (among others) Christopher Hitchens. This is the guy who went from left-leaning, writing for The Nation to so far right he is not recognizable. I rarely listen to him anymore because, like so many of the radical right, he is so abrasive I find him difficult to stomach. This is a guy who hates the ACLU until he needs it because the ACLU will defend the constitutional rights of anyone and everyone, not just the people, groups, corporations that some find acceptable. As American citizens we all have the right to due process and legal representation no matter how heinous the crimes we have committed. The right goes nuts when the ACLU defends those they disdain but interestingly, Hitchens and Rush both have turned to the ACLU for help when personally in need. Where are their right-wing lawyers?? Why do they need the ACLU to help them?? Why indeed.

Also, on another note, I am again disgusted that this administration who has not one person amongst them who has ever seen combat in any war/conflict is swiftboating AGAIN, this time John Murtha, a REPUBLICAN.  First we had Max Cleland who was decried as unpatriotic. Then Al Gore's service did not count because he was only a journalist (journalists are in harm's way and he was serving in Viet Nam). Then there was John Kerry who actually fought, led and had medals to prove it ...what to do??? Why, question the authenticity of the medals of course. And now, John Murtha, a lifelong military guy, Republican, with medals galore and now his medals are being questioned. I don't know why the military people who frequent these boards are not outraged by this. I understand that the first 3 mentioned were Democrats but Murtha...you guys are okay with this??? You could fill a library with what this administration does not know about military strategies, plans, actual experience and yet they are so arrogant as to swiftboat one of their own who has been behind them 100% up to this point.  This is beyond appalling.

And you "a self-proclaimed" middle class become the poor.  I think to you need to check yourself.  You are totally against the poor, you're sick!  You have no sympathy or empathy?  Do you have a silver spoon on your mouth?  I guess you've been brainwashed to believe that McCain at 70+ is really going to make a difference?  The American dream - yeah right!  The rich get richer while the poor get poorer!  Are you actually an MT?  Get real!  If you believe everything the media says, you are a sad sort.  Yes, this economy needs help and that doesn't mean more taxes on our healthcare.  Are you awake?

of $9T over the next 10 years?????  You really want your children, grandchildren and probably your great-grandchildren to pay for mistakes that did not have to take place in the first place?

You're not wasting tea, you're wasting the little tag on the tea bag. How hard is it to let the government know you are furious with their antics?  I just don't agree it's a waste of time.

Some of us (not me yet) are in the less fortunate boat and not getting any help at all while those in power pocket our money. It's time to stop the nonsense and hold those accountable for their actions. It's time to let the government know we don't want to be told how to live anymore. Freedom is not free anymore. It costs a lot of money and our freedoms are slowly being whittled away one by one. I want to see my grandchildren enough those freedoms, not wind up being told how to live, what to eat, where and when to work, etc.

Whew! Sorry. Am venting.  I'll get off my soapbox now.

SP sinking . . . losing her "oh look at the shiny new object" diversionary value.  Obama on the upswing . . . and these were before the latest financial fiasco which McCain and Gramm had a hand in by deregulating financial institutions.

WASHINGTON - The White House is suddenly facing damaging evidence that it misled the public by insisting for two years that presidential adviser Karl Rove wasn't involved in leaking the identity of a female CIA officer. President Bush, at an Oval Office photo opportunity Tuesday, was asked directly whether he would fire Rove -- in keeping with a pledge in June, 2004, to dismiss any leakers in the case. The president did not respond. For the second day, White House press secretary Scott McClellan refused to answer questions about Rove.

This article says that the White House may have misled the public.  And, they apparently pledged to fire anyone who had leaked this information.  This has become interesting, hope it doesn't fade right away from the public view.

Two videos surfaced showing P support for bridge to nowhere.  Alaska did receive the money.  She did not stop supporting bridge until Congress cancelled the allocation.  Alaska KEPT the money.  One project it paid for a road to the place where the bridge would have been. 

Her chef she claimed to have fired was simply reassigned other duties and still kept cooking for the kids.

the joint editorial decrying the mismanagement of Fannie/Freddie and how they were going to go to Washing to fight influence of lobbyists?  Rick Davis, McCain campaign advisor was a lobbyist for Fannie/Freddie.

McCain squad & cohorts in Alaska tried to have the democrat removed from the bipartisan group investigating troopergate but failed.  They are still working to hid the truth up there. 

Nat'l Guard leader in Alaska said that SP played no part in Nat'l Guard.  He later came out and said P DID have experience in military command.  Coincidentally, he was then promoted to a higher grade in the Nat'l Guard.  Hmm . . . funny how that happens . . .

Put some lipstick on them facts, folks.

Just one of the many places for good info.  And to think, it's "okay" to not only imply but state that incest occurs in the Palin home?  Seriously, when is enough enough?  As a conservative, I skewer the turds in the bunch on a regular basis.  Those RINOs don't work for me any more than the Barney Franks, Chris Dodds, etc. work for anyone else but themselves!

I see it very differently.  Chris Mathews is a big ole softy who loves, loves, loves this country.  Keith O has a twinkle in his eye and assumes the viewers are well informed.  They both seem to love their jobs and relish discussing politics.  They are my absolute favorites.

I really like their commentators.  I do think they are pro Obama,  but not rabidly so.  Rachel has criticized the Obama campaign at times.  Pat Buchanan certainly is not pro democrat.  Joe Scar is not pro Obama.  I get good information from the pro-O commentators and a balanced viewpoint from the Repub commentators. The commentators have been in politics for years, so they point out things I might not have thought about.  I like Keith O's humor.  When he presents information he gives sources and verification for it.  When he is wrong, he corrects himself.  While I was listening to John McC last night, my mind started to wander.  I remembered then why I used to find politics so boring.  Remember Dole? I think Obama brings energy to politics and makes it worth paying attention to.

in convention viewers.  Fox's days are over.  There will not be enough audience for them once Baracko takes over.

short clip.

The media will try to downplay her accomplishments as when Ron Allen of MSNBC tried to get me to accept that she had too little experience. Watch it here.
