I am sure everyone has now heard about Senator McCain’s vision of the future, it is a complex vision that talks about many things but unsurprisingly lacks any real cohesion: (From the Boston Globe , May 16 2008)
In the world of President John McCain, most US troops will be back home from a safer, democratic Iraq by January 2013 - the first date he has mentioned for ending the war.
Afghanistan will be more stable, with the Taliban and Al Qaeda under control and Osama bin Laden dead or captured. Iran and North Korea will no longer have nuclear programs, and the genocide will have ended in Darfur.
At home, the economy will be humming, the tax code simpler, schools better, and healthcare more affordable. The borders will be secure, illegal immigrants deported, and a guest worker program in place. The country will have weaned itself off foreign oil.
My intention here is not to analyze this vision since Keith Olbermann over at MSNBC has done a fine job but let me to...

Coming from a long line of farmers in my home county of Barbour, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for American farm families. I know first hand how tough life can be for farmers and their families. That’s why Senator John McCain’s recent comments opposing the Farm Bill were so disturbing. McCain came out in strong opposition to the bill, saying “I don’t support agricultural subsidies no matter where they are. The farm bill, $300 billion, is something America simply can’t a... more

From a reader:
While some are looking for confirmation whether Mrs. Jopek had asked Senator Obama to stop wearing (or using it) her son's wristband, what all are ignoring is Sergeant Jopek supported the mission in Iraq and died supporting a cause he believed in. That is Obama's greatest shame, that he has always failed to say that SGT Jopek gave all in a cause he believed in.
Yet that is just like what the liberal media failed to say when they propped up Cindy Sheehan. No... more
Fact Checking the Debate
by Mike Krumboltz
Last night’s debate provided viewers the chance to see the two presidential candidates talk turkey on a variety of issues. It also gave voters the opportunity to see if Senators Obama and McCain knew the difference between fact and fiction. A slew of sources within the Buzz examine whether what each candidate said was actually, well, true.

I received this flier in the mail the other day from the North Carolina Republican State Executive Committee.
Clinton and McCain look like they’re in love, judging by the cover, and the copy is just adulatory:
“With intensity and hard work, she left 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling”
and, on the inside,
“I share Senator Clinton’s goal of promoting women to more important roles throughout our government. By the end of my first time, I promise yo... more

The outcome of the election was not a surprise. A Dem win by either Senator Clinton or Obama became a near fait accompli the moment McCain clinched the nomination in a year in which the economy was the dominant issue for the electorate. The real shocker would have been a McCain upset.
But like many other [...]... more

Although the presidential elections in the US do not generate as many reactions as the French elections in Madagascar, the intrigue surrounding the democratic party's nomination provoked plenty of reactions on the Malagasy blogosphere. Seven posts, mostly centered around the Barack Obama phenomenon, in the past month led to 116 comments.
Some Malagasies are convinced that Obama is able to implement the unity he promised, both in the US and on in the international scene.

From a report on the TV news show 60 Minutes, here is more evidence that the “secret Muslim” rumors are hurting Barack Obama among some sections of the voting public, by tapping into fear of “the Other” among less educated Americans. For background, see my earlier post on the subject, “ My Middle Name Is Hussein .”
To his credit, when Obama is asked about the rumors and denies them, he doesn’t just say they are insulting to him as a Christian. He also points out that they are ... more
A couple of months ago (and several times up til now) I registered my displeasure with the fact that the primary assumptions resulting in many of the failed policies of the Bush Administration (and indeed the previous one) were not being questioned in the primary presidential debates or even in the major forums for debate on foreign policy. The particulars of neo-conservative philosophy were... more
Canadian Parliament asks PM Questions People ask me why I care so much about US elections, especially those South of the border. This is currently on the Barack Obama You Tube page. Still don’t think America’s politics has any impact in Canada? This of course relates to the NAFTA story and Obama giving us the heads up in advance of the Ohio debate. For the record, I am unaware of any Canadian "right wing operatives" working for the Republicans, but I personally went up to C... more
