The number of US soldiers killed and wounded is on the rise for April and May 2006. The surge seems long forgotten.

Is it worth it?

Obama carries North Carolina and barely loses Indiana


Obama gets the urban vote big time, and also gains on Clinton with the undeducated white voter.

More affluent professionals with a college degree vote for Obama. Clinton does NOT sway them with shots of whiskey or shooting a gun.

Maybe there is a God?

I guess we will find out in November. or January...

Gas Tax Elimination and Why its a Bad Idea


- Increases demand for Oil, thus increasing price in the end

- Eliminates funds badly needed for maintaining Infrastructure

- Saves all of $28 for the ordinary American

- Inceases the Fed Deficit

- Bush will veto the bill anyway

Hillary Clinton is working for the wrong team as she agrees with Republican Candidate John McCain.

Hillary you agree to much with McCain, as the saying goes

"If you are running for a touchdown, and the other side is cheering for you, it usually means your going the wrong way!"

Peter Paul versus Hillary Clinton Trial - Why no Press Coverage


Visit this site to find information on Hillary Clinton's Senatorial Run in New York. Why doesn't the 'Right Wing Echo Chamber' talk about this? Perhaps they would rather run against Clinton instead of O'bama?

Here is a short tease on the article:

When Peter Paul was invited to present his allegations against Hillary on the Hannity and Colmes show in March, 2005, after Hillary’s finance director David Rosen was indicted on three counts of election fraud for hiding from the public the fact that Peter Paul personally gave more than $1.2 million to Hillary’s Senate campaign (by supposedly causing Hillary’s campaign to file 3 false FEC reports, according to Dept of Justice prosecutors), he was not supported in any way by Sean Hannity while Alan Colmes screamed over Paul’s answers to his questions.

Alan Colmes shouted repeatedly at Paul “Where is your evidence of Hillary’s personal role in the matter”. Paul’s documentary evidence was not accepted. Sean Hannity appeared befuddled and unable to grasp the basics of Paul’s claims and quickly changed the subject. Two years later, when Paul forced the US Attorney in NY to release a video Paul took of Hillary’s personal role in helping and coordinating with Paul the expenditures on her behalf, Paul presented the video of Hillary’s personal role in the matter that Colmes repeatedly screamed at Paul to produce- to Colmes and Hannity and asked them to allow him to finally refute Colmes on the Hannity show. Paul was ignored by the producers and Hannity, and never given the courtesy of a response. Since then, Hannity has refused since May, 2005 to make any comments on Paul’s landmark civil fraud suit against the Clintons as it prepares to go trial!.

US Dollar Weakness partly responsible for Higher Gas Prices

So McCain and Hillary think the solution to high gas prices is a 3-month elimination of the gas tax?

Again Americans can see they only represent the status quo strategy of continuing down a path of slow decline. Their proposal would

a) Eliminate funds designated for maintenance of highway and bridge infrastructure maintenance

b) Create a 'solution' which further reduces government resources. The lost funds eliminate maintenance, or cause of further borrowing of funds from China and the Saudis. This debt financing causes a further decline in the value of the US dollar and causes a further increase in the price of gas at the pumps.

Its this short sighted reasoning which more and more Americans are starting to figure out. Hopefully in November, these two candidates and others who support the slow decline of the Us economy and its middle class will be repudiated.
