Right Wingers Myth and Mess in America

Dartmouth, Mass: Audry Steele, 82 from New Bedford, She did not want the government get involved with the health-care.
"They just make mess of every thing."

President Barack Obama Symbol of Moral Courage Championing National Health

President Barack Obama said, as the world's richest nation, had a moral duty to offer health care to everyone, in a fresh bid to bolster support for his top domestic priority.

Obama addressed an estimated 140,000 people on a call sponsored by 30 progressive religious denominations as the White House tried to still disquiet among liberals, and opposition among Republicans, to his health reform plan.

"The one thing you all share, is a moral conviction, you know, that this debate over health care goes to the heart of who we are as a people," said Obama on the call also including his domestic policy director Melody Barnes.

"I believe that nobody in America should be denied basic health care because he or she lacks health insurance," Obama said, after calling into a webcast including clergy and believers of Evangelical, Protestant, Catholic and Jewish orders.

Sonia Sotomayor and the Republicans Filibuster Nonsense

Any though of republican filibuster of the confirmation of judge Sonia Sotomayor for the supreme court justice will fire back at them. Their support within the Latinos will diminish further and will come to bite them very badly in any coming elections.

The Coming 2010 US Senatorial Race in Missouri

Poll: Carnahan posts big lead
The Hill - 5.14.09 - Carnahan leads Rep. Roy Blunt (R) by a 53 percent to 44 percent margin and posts a wider 54 percent to 42 percent lead over former state Treasurer Sarah Steelman. Carnahan, the top vote-getter in the state in 2008, also has higher name recognition and favorability ratings than either of the potential Republican candidates.
Robin Carnahan
8th Missouri Secretary of State Incumbent
It is clear that the Senate race in the state of Missouri will be very critical in 2010 as the Democrats will try to maintain their lead.
Christopher Samuel "Kit" Bond (born March 6, 1939) is a former governor and current senior United States Senator from Missouri. He has been in the Senate since 1987 and is a member of the Republican Party. He announced on January 8, 2009 that he does not plan to seek re-election in 2010. Should Bond retire in January 2011, he will have served four full terms in the U.S. Senate

Unhappiness from the Left and Liberals about the War in Afghanistan

The White House advisers add that Obama will be pushed only so far to the left, and with good reason. Only 19 percent of Americans, after all, identify themselves as liberal, compared with 36 percent who say they are moderate and 41 percent who say they are conservative, according to the latest poll by Democracy Corps, a Democratic think tank.
Groups in the left are unhappy with Barack Obama sending 20,000 troops to Afghanistan.

Dick Cheney and the Art of Enhanced Lying and Deception

Cheney's assertions of lives saved is hard to prove
Arguing against Obama's policies, he says that the Bush administration's approach to terrorism spared 'perhaps hundreds of thousands.' Experts say no evidence of that has emerged.

In the end, the shame of Vice President Dick Cheney was total: unmitigated by any notion of a graceful departure, let alone the slightest obligation of honest accounting. Although firmly ensconced, even in the popular imagination, as an example of evil incarnate—nearly a quarter of those polled in this week’s CNN poll rated him the worst vice president in U.S. history, and 41 percent as “poor”—Cheney exudes the confidence of one fully convinced that he will get away with it all

Dick Cheney, Patron Saint of Torture-Free

"Hitler gave anti-Semitism a bad name," as many high-born Europeans used to say, yearning for the good old days when all right-thinking people could disparage Jews in public. Former Vice President Dick Cheney is similarly giving torture an odious reputation, all in his zeal to prove himself the rightest thinking guy in America. By the time he's finished with his mouthy defense of "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques," no one with any sense will want to have anything to do with them, at least not where others can see or hear.

And why not? Nothing, not his suspect role in the Enron debacle, which foretold the economic meltdown, or his office’s fabrication of the false reasons for invading Iraq, has ever been seriously investigated, because of White House stonewalling. Nor will the new president, committed as he is to nonpartisanship, be likely to open up Cheney’s can of worms.

"The widespread abuse of prisoners is a virtually foolproof indication that politicians are trying to impose a system --- whether political, religious or economic --- that is rejected by large numbers of people they are ruling. Just as ecologists define ecosystems by the presence of certain 'indicator species'..., torture is an indicator species of a regime that is engaged in a deeply anti-democratic project, even if that regime happens to have come to power through elections." - Naomi Klein, The Shock Doctrine (2007)
