In the end, the Republican "revolution" ran out of gas and out of vision. Too many congressional Republicans appeared to care more about maintaining power than using power to implement an agenda, which they also abandoned. Republicans reverted to fear tactics about Democrats raising taxes and "cutting and running" from Iraq. Democrats probably will try to raise taxes (they call it "pay as you go") and introduce resolutions to withdraw from Iraq under cover of a "plan" that has little to do with victory. Investigations of the administration will be labeled "oversight," and headed by the most liberal members of...

Mr George Bush, President of the United States of America For sometime now I have been thinking, how one can justify the undeniable contradictions that exist in the international arena -- which are being constantly debated, specially in political forums and amongst university students...There are prisoners in Guantanamo Bay that have not been tried...Lies were told in the Iraqi matter...September eleven was not a simple operation. Could it be planned and executed without coordination with intelligence and security services – or their extensive infiltration? Of course this is just an educated guess. Why have the various aspects of the attacks...

by Mark Finkelstein January 26, 2006 - 08:18 Interviewing Howard Dean this morning, you could almost hear Katie Couric thinking: "sure, he's a fellow member of our great Democratic family. But darn it, this guy is killing us!" And thus it was that Couric gave Dean the crazy uncle treatment, hitting him with tough questions almost as if to speak over him to the rest of us out here, apologizing for the untoward antics of this unwelcome but unavoidable visitor. On NSA spying: "If this potentially stops another terrorist attack like 9/11, why not give the White House some latitude...

This is a quote from an interview with Dean: "The overwhelming evidence is that there is very significant, substantial genetic component to it," Dean said in an interview Wednesday. "From a religious point of view, if God had thought homosexuality is a sin, he would not have created gay people." The mere existence of behavior is proof that it has gods stamp of approval? Okay, now change the quote to any other type of activity. You can come up with half a dozen without leaving the main topic of Sex. How about Pedophiles for example? Please…..

Democrats have been trying hard in recent years to squeeze God into their politics, perceiving that Republicans have an edge on invoking the Creator to bless their policies. Democrats worry they suffer from a "God gap." Bill Clinton and Al Gore, with their Southern Baptist backgrounds, were fluent in the language of religion, though not always in its personal application. Who can forget Easter Sunday 1996, when President Clinton emerged from church flashing a Bible for the cameras and later returning to the White House, where Monica Lewinsky got down on her knees to perform an act that did not...

<p>The guest of honor couldn't be there in person, so Barbara Hopkins created a life-size cardboard figure of Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean to greet those attending a fund-raiser at her Sacramento home Tuesday night. Douglas Brown picked up Dean bumper stickers during a holiday visit to Iowa to give to contributors at his east Sacramento event, while Judith Painter wrote a joke about President Bush's foreign policy to break the ice at her Land Park fund-raiser.</p>

Democrat frontrunner Howard Dean has been unofficially nominated as that party's 2004 presidential candidate by a special preliminary strategy session of the Republican National Convention. "Pleeeeeeeeease nominate Dean, pretty pretty pretty pleeeeeease, with lots of sugar on top!" read an official press release posted at the Republican National Committee's website last night. Conservative patriarch William F. Buckley, reached at his National Review offices, leaned way, way back in his chair, put the tip of his eyeglasses to his mouth, and said, "The gravaman of our response to the exigency in which we find ourselves runs thus: we dare you. We...

Al Gore has done it again. There is a reason he isn't president and it's not just the chads in Florida. The man has the worst political instincts of anyone to have gotten as far as he did in this business. Once again, he has proven why he is a loser and not a leader. Of course, the endorsement by the former vice president helps Howard Dean, at least in the short run. It cements his role as the front runner in the race, sending a powerful message about the race to insiders and outsiders. Try making fundraising calls today...

Dean: I Have Best Chance to Oust Bush .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Howard Dean said Tuesday he has the best chance of beating President Bush because he appeals to supporters of former independent candidates John McCain, Ross Perot and Ralph Nader as well as to Democratic Party faithful. Dean said he believes his candidacy will energize millions of young people and independents who have been turned off by standard electoral politics. ``We've got to bring new people into the electoral process,'' Dean said on NBC's ``Today'' show. ``We're going to say that to the people of Ralph...
