Doubling Down on Obama: A Gambler’s Guide to the Election
I think its fair to say that as more and more becomes known about Obama, the more and more I become convinced that I’ll be able to say I told you so the day after the general election in November.
Obama is a political unknown. He talks a good talk, but can’t walk a good […]
Why McCain would Win Over Obama - An Election Framework
I wrote this very hastily since my time has been severely limited with my studies and work. While it lacks eloquence (or even gramatical correctness), I believe that the points I attempt to make are valid and deserve consideration on the Obama momentum

Now that John McCain has clearly claimed the front runner title […]
When Did the Liberal Agenda Become Non-Liberal?
The idea for this post came to me the other day as I was driving out to the work-site. I was driving with a coworker so this was a rare time when I was listening to music on the radio. When I drive alone I listen to talk radio and a little sports radio, but […]
Faith and Public Discourse: A Dispassionate Point of View
The lifeline of Mitt Romney’s campaign was given this past Thursday. The speech was targeted to a specific audience to alleviate concerns about his religion and the role it would play in his administration, surely more pressing than terrorism, economic fears and the effects of free trade and globalisation. Like it or hate […]

The Daily Kos - The Voice of Progressive Reason??
I submitted my previous article (with some major rewrites to clear up my often times drab and confusing garble) to my diary in the Daily Kos. I figured, what the hay, it’s a progressive website and I’ve always thought that people to my political left were far more rational and reasoning than people to the […]
The Democratic Dream Team
It should be painfully clear, even to the most die-hard partisans, that Democrats stand a better than average chance of winning the White House and expanding their majorities in Congress. All of the major indicators from polling to fund raising show that Democrats stand to benefit from severe voter discontent. My money is […]

Romney - A Failure to Lead
Mr. Romney once again displayed a failure to lead. On Saturday, in response to a question about giving a JFK-style speech to outline and explain his religious beliefs, Mr. Romney said, “Is there going to be a special speech? Perhaps, at some point. I sort of like the idea myself. The political advisers tell me […]

La Ultima Paja
Question: At what point does a theoretical political debate cross the line and become a direct personal assault? For me, this line was crossed yesterday, at about one o’clock in the afternoon, when I was personally accosted by my friendly neighborhood bank.
I live in a small, typically scenic New England coastal town. Population 18,000. I’ve […]
Our Border Options
Where are we Heading??? Apparently the open borders to all Illegal Immigrants that Western Europe adopted is now coming back to Bite them. Belgium, Holland, France, Germany,England, Italy, Denmark, etc… are all experiencing many sorts of problems with Muslims and other Illegals whereas they are beginning to impose their LAWS to regulate how these Residents […]
Does Anbar Need Reevaluating?
First there’s this…
From the BBC:
Abdul Sattar Abu Risha, 37, led what was known as the “Anbar Awakening”, an alliance of Sunni Arab tribes that rose up against al-Qaeda in Iraq.
US President George Bush met and endorsed the sheikh last week in Iraq.
The White House, which has held up the movement in Anbar province as an […]
A Simple Solution to the Democrat’s Iraq Problem
With congressional approval ratings lower than George Bush’s (26% v. 33%), Democratic congressional leaders face a dilemma. Not only will the Democratic nominee alter the political playing field in 2008, but the war in Iraq will most likely continue to be the reason voters will choose to vote for the Democrats.
The problem for Democrats […]
