Young Christians don’t take kindly to Republicans.
Ballots are still confusing. Wall Street is confused, and hoping consumers
will clarify the economy for it. Norway’s already weening itself off oil.

Why? i have you!
I had sent in a email, and the clip was not posted, but Cokie Roberts really came off rather racist this morning on This Week, and of course, GS didn’t challenge her. She said that who Obama needs to pick as his VP is a gun-tooting, Bible-thumping white guy…….then she said maybe that’s who the Party should have picked in the first place.
This was after she said how shcoked she was at the sexism of the media and punditry towards Hillary. She ahs said things like this in the past, but she truly is disgusted that Hillary will not be president. She feels that woman’s liberty has taken a backseat to the desire of the country to elect a person of colorto the OO.
She makes me sick, and so does that show for having his silly ass on there every other week.

Sometimes I think that women think they are less superior. Some women just don’t realize how powerful they are and what power they have over men.

Miss Kitty, you have no idea the uproar you just caused in my household. :)
I went to a Mom’s Day celebration attended by several Rethugnican wingnut family members, mostly in-laws. They were praying for an Obama victory because they believe McInsane will demolish him in November. I almost laughed in their faces because only 3 short years ago these BushCo True Believers were furious at McInsane for not following the party line. My father-in-law had complained back then that McInsane was a liberal no different than Teddy Kennedy or John Kerry. Now, all of a sudden, McInsane is their man.
What a bunch of sickening hypocrites these people are.

Snorting Cokie has been brain-damaging for as long as I recall. I’m not sure why, when they choose a token woman, they lean towards rightwing yayhoos but they do.
WE need to start liberal sleeper cells of Molly & Rachel acolytes in journalism classes across the nation, armed with the tools of the most dangerous subversives: the truth.
And BlueGal, Happy Mama’s Day to ya!

War profits taint the greedy hands of more than 25% of members of the US House and Senate!
by Rev. Richard Skaff
Global Research, May 7, 2008
What do war, Congressmen, Senators, and the defense/offense industry have in common? The answer, if you haven’t already guessed is “profits.”
Conflict makes money for the military industrial complex, and the cronies they place in Congress, the Senate, and the White House.
An investigation by Ralph Forbes from American Free press reported on May 05, 2008 that more than a quarter of US senators and congressmen have invested at least $196 million of their own money in companies doing business with the Department of Defense (DoD) that profit from the death and destruction in Iraq [1].
The report also edifies that 151 members of congress invested close to a quarter-billion dollars in companies that received defense contracts of at least $5 million in 2006. These companies got more than 275.6 billion from the government in 2006, or $755 million per day, according to Fedspending.org [2]. In 2004, the first full year after the current Iraq war began, Republican and Democratic lawmakers-both hawks and doves invested between $74.9 million and 161.3 million in companies under contract with the DoD [1]. No wonder the Democratic congress kept approving the enormous spending bills on the war, since a significant portion of it happens to end up in their deep pockets.
The report elucidates further that investments in these contractors yielded Congress members between $15.8 million and $62 million in personal income from 2004 to 2006, through dividends, capital gains, royalties, and interest [1]. Certainly, as the war went on and escalated, so did the increase in profits.
Interestingly, the report also mentioned that members of the senate foreign relations and armed services committees which oversee the Iraq war had between $32 million and $44 million invested in companies with DoD contracts. Per example, war hawk Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), chairman of the defense-related Senate Homeland security and Governmental Affairs Committee, had at least $51,000 invested in these companies in 2006. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), who voted for Bush’s war, had stock in defense companies such as Honeywell, Boeing and Raytheon, but sold them in May 2007. [1].
The burning questions for many people are the following:
Are there any ethics left in politics?
Could the universe ever exist without wars?
The answer is no, because wars have been a major part of our social make up, in addition they force geostrategic changes, make profits for the elite, and reduce population.

A little bit of everything. There’s no Individualist Party yet and I don’t expect to see one in my lifetime so I’m basically screwed.

Californians Would Switch Clinton Vote For Obama
Download The Full Poll Results
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) ― California voters would change their February primary vote for Hillary Clinton to a vote for Barack Obama if the vote were held again, according to an exclusive poll commissioned by CBS 5.
While voters in the California Democratic Presidential Primary backed Clinton by a 10-point margin, a new SurveyUSA poll shows that if given the chance to vote again, Californians would choose Barack Obama by a 6-point margin, 49%-43%.
The poll was conducted on May 7 and 8 and has a margin of error of 4%.
On the Republican side, John McCain won by 8 points in the California primary. The new poll says he would win by 35, in a 55%-20% victory over Mitt Romney, if Californians were given the chance to vote again.

Sorry, I am not bashing. I’m just the messenger.
The world can exist without wars and it can exist without the wealth of the world residing in the hands of a very few people. All we have to do is reject capitalism in its entirety and then do twelve trillion other complicated things. But it is still doable.
