Al Gore’s Hypocrisy and the Failure of the Modern GOP
I must say that I sympathize somewhat with all the right-wingers out there who have lately been hurling the hypocrite label at good ol’ Al. It is certainly true that most Americans do not consume as much energy as Gore does. Al and Tipper do purchase “carbon offsets” but no matter how you slice it, […]
Maybe I Shouldn’t be so Jolly about Giuliani
Something ocurred me to after I wrote about how a Giuliani primary win would be good for Dems. My original thinking centered on the idea that because the so-called “values debate” would be eliminated that Dems would be able to capitalize on economic issues.

Jolly about Giuliani
There seems to be both joy and worry brewing amongst the GOP faithful about how a primary victory by Rudy Giuliani would play out. Principled Conservatives like writer Andrew Sullivan are hopeful for a Giuliani win because it would essentially void the impact of the Religious Right and might even expose the movement’s extremism.

While Foley’s actions are far more disappointing than Bill Clinton’s, it is one more account of people that […]

One more time last night, I attentively sat on the end of the couch to hear President Bush address the nation. One more time I cleared my mind and hoped for substance; for the courage to offer a new direction. In the back of my mind where hope still lives, I thought that the five […]
A Rant About Lieberman and the Midterm Election
I must admit that, at first, the recent Lieberman/Lamont skirmish in CT had me quite worried that the Democratic Party would be powerless against the post-primary squawking by GOP staffers and right-wing pundits. I was worried that the usual bile like “latte liberal,” “soft on terror,” and “McGovernites with modems” would finally resonate beyond controllable […]
