McCain faces backlash over top advisor Phil Gramm's comments

Money – "You've heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession," said Phil Gramm, one of McCain's top advisors. "We have become a nation of whiners," he said. "You hear constant whining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline." McCain once admitted he didn't know as much about economics as he should.

Is the United States a Republic or a Busharchy?

Politics – The Founders, in their wisdom, wouldn't let Washington become king. Today, in a nation with 4x the area and 70x the population there appear to be no wise leaders willing to step forward and challenge the stubborn, arrogant Bush from conducting himself as a king; no true patriots calling for the citizenry to reclaim their participative democracy.

Se. Chuck Hagel - Bush Wanted War in the Entire Middle East

Politics – It wasn't specific to Iraq? Oh no. It said the whole region! They could go into Greece or anywhere. I mean, is Central Asia in the region? I suppose! Sure as hell it was clear they meant the whole Middle East. It was anything they wanted. It was literally anything. No boundaries. No restrictions.

The De-Politicization of the Military

Politics – As we struggle to move beyond the horrors of Iraq, we desperately need to develop fresh approaches to changing security threats. That requires a military that isn't partisan - and political leaders who won't make posturing in front of the troops a substitute for responsible policies.

PBS tells the truth about Bush & Company's LIES!

Do No Evil – George Bush and Co. making there own case for war. (not surprising) The main stream media and press failed to do its own job.(not surprising) Members of congress failing to put the two together. (also not surprising) But how the American people can tolerate being lied to at worst and at minimum, misled. Makes you wonder if the American people can

World Economy at Risk From Chaos of Bush Regime

Politics – When Bush assumed the presidency in 2001, many hoped he would govern competently from the centre. More pessimistic critics consoled themselves by questioning how much harm a president could do in a few years. We now know the answer: a great deal.

OpEd: Saddam was Right and Bush was Wrong

Politics – Think about it. It was the Bush administration and not Saddam that turned out to be lying about WMDs. As we all know now, there weren't any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Amazingly enough, it was Saddam who was telling the truth from the very beginning. Bush was the one who lied to the whole world.
