Citing a lack of interest, the Nevada Republican Party has called off its state convention and will instead pick its delegates to the national convention by private conference call. The state party broke up its original convention in April when supporters of Ron Paul hijacked the proceedings and tried to elect delegates for their candidate to the national GOP convention in September. Party officials tried to reconvene on July 26, but they needed a quorum of 675 and received only 300 RSVPs, according to local reports. “With so many people concerned about the economy, it simply wouldn’t be fair for...

SUMMARY: If public broadcasting needed fixing, we'd hear about it on NPR and PBS, wouldn't we? They got him! The dirty, no-good, rotten Republican miscreant Kenneth Tomlinson, until recently the chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting - they nailed his sorry conservative hind end to the floor! It's a wonder it took so long. A six-month investigation into this right-wing Clinton appointee's mismanagement of the holy temple of enlightened government culminated this past week with an inspector general's report alleging Tomlinson ignored public broadcasting rules and ethics code, which is sort of bad. But his transgressions were believed to...

What is a Globalist you might ask? In short they are the people that run the conservatives you have been putting in office under the flag of independence. They are also the people that run the liberals you other guys have been voting in on the other side of the isle. Basically they are the people with the money they printed in hand deciding the big players whom will control those nasty corporations that everyone loves to hate. They are the Captains and Kings of power and illusion that captured the gold of America without firing a single shoot. They...

Specter sees compromise near on overtime rules Reuters, 11.20.03, 4:31 PM ET By Thomas Ferraro WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A key Republican senator voiced hope Thursday that a compromise would soon be reached on an embattled proposal by the Bush administration to redefine who in the American work force has the right to overtime pay. "I think we are on the verge of getting it done," said Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, who has declined to publicly disclose his possible deal, in a statement. The U.S. Labor Department, which drafted the proposed work rules, had no immediate response. Backers contend the...

About one-fifth of Americans strongly opposed the war in Iraq. Surveys taken in December 2002 showed that 15 to 20 percent of the public resolutely opposed the war three months before it began, and the numbers remained about as high in April 2003 after the war had been underway for a couple of weeks.

This "peace party" became known to the American public through antiwar protests and demonstrations, but media coverage of these events did not tell us much...
