Arizona Law

If Arizona cops are mandated to stop suspicious looking people shouldn't they have stopped this person?

Barak Obama in Berlin

Europe knows a winner when they see one.
Listen to the speech and you will hear a man who can bring our country together and the world closer.

The speech is 26 minutes.

The Reason It Matters

The Supreme Court just ended their session last week and the decisions that were handed down have pointed out why the next election is so important.
John McCain has stated he will continue to appoint conservative judges. The more moderate, some say liberal, judges are ready to retire. John Paul Stevens is 88, Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsburg is in her middle 70’s and has health issues and Justice Souter would like to get back to his cabin.
All of them are clinging to their seats, praying for a progressive, Democratic President so they can retire and not concede the court to the activist right.
The appointments of Alito and Roberts and the retirement of O’Conner, has tilted one of the three pillars of our government to the right in a way that is reshaping the laws of the land.
This election is, of course, about the two men running but the make up of the court will be a lasting legacy that we will have to live with for many years after the next President is long gone.

152 Days

This photo may be all that most voters need to know about the candidates.

Hopefully voters will dig a little deeper and see that today, or rather last night, was an historic moment for our country.
For one of the first time real change is staring us in the face.
Will we have the courage to reach out and take it?

Clinton Divides Obama Unites

The Brooklyn Optimist has endorsed Barrak Obama but decries the attacts on Mrs. Clinton . The vitriol that is hurled at Mrs. Clinton now is just the tip of the iceberg that awaits her should she become the nominee.

The attacks on her husband will look like a cake walk, and he had to face impeachment.
The fact is the Clinton’s ended their time in office as a divisive force that has the potential to rip this country apart should she win the election.
Obama, on the other hand has the potential to establish a dialogue that could bring opposing views together to argue and debate our differences in a civil manor.
IMO – Mrs. Clinton should remain in the senate and assume the Kennedy mantle of spokes person for the left and let Mr. Obama set the tone for the nation.
Either way we cannot let an evolution denier or a pandering hawk into the white house.

Highlighted words are hot links that open in a new window

Yes folks it's just one year, and a short one at that, from today that the "SHRUB" will be shown the door and we have the chance to start undoing the damage.
Two of the three Republicans are evolution deniers and McCain wants to stay in Iraq for a hundred years.
Edwards is on his last legs and no one knows where his supporters will go.
So...
Hilary or Obama?

POLLS!!!

Hillary don't need no stinkin' polls!


The news orgs. won tonight as they will have many hours of empty punditry to fill thier air times.

Obama Wins Iowa

No matter what happens in the general election, as of last night a black man has a chance, not a small chance a real chance, to be the leader of America.

A state of 92% white people (Iowa) has given Barak Obama a decisive victory over his Democratic opponents and the Democrats have overwhelmingly out distanced the Republican Party.

It’s time to get off the divisive issues of black vrs. white in our neighborhoods and realize that America could take a huge step toward in bringing us all together by electing the first black American, President of the United States.

I voted for Jesse Jackson in the NY primary just to keep his voice in the mix but he was never going to be elected.

Now we all have the opportunity to vote for a black man who has an honest chance to lead this country.
