Gore Breaks 2000 Election Silence

Published: September 4, 2007, 4:46 pm

Tags: Media, Msm, Potus, Al Gore, President

This could so easily happen again… Al Gore couldn’t believe his eyes: as the 2000 election heated up, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and other top news outlets kept going after him, with misquotes (”I invented the Internet”), distortions (that he lied about being the inspiration for Love Story), and strangely

Keep Looking Under The Desk Mr. President.

It’s hard to forget the slideshow. Back then, only five hundred American soldiers had died in the Iraq War, so maybe it was kosher to joke like that, but even back then there were some of us who failed to find the humor in slides depicting President Bush searching all over the Oval Office for weapons of mass destruction. The weapons of

Truly UnAmerican

I’m not prone towards calling people unAmerican. It’s just not my way. I look to our rights of Free Speech and Expression, and I look to the ideals of this country that at least strive to not persecute someone based on their political leanings or religion and realize that it would be difficult for someone who can be counted as an

Republicans: Paying For Bush's Mistakes

Published: September 13, 2007, 9:58 pm

Tags: Horse Race, Virginia, Potus, Politics, President, 2008, Bush

You know, aside from the personal toll following in the wake of Bush must take, Republicans are losing elsewhere as well. This, at least minutely, points to some hope, I think, for our democracy in that as the current president and head of the GOP has failed so utterly, his party is left holding the bag, and what an ugly bag it is.

The Full Bush Blitz

Last night, the President of the United States addressed the nation. He did so on the premise that based on the advice of commanders on the ground, specifically that of General David Petraeus, he was going to make his final decision on what to do in Iraq. I liveblogged the speech here, and you can catch a transcript of the speech here. And

Yeah, yeah yeah - no end but victory, yet another another Friedman, surge futility and inevitable failure spun into success (we can has tr00p reductions!). In other words: stay the fucking course (open-ended, like teh Koreas!) Could rant and rave, sputter and spew; but others can and will do that for me. Right now, I’d rather just watch

In Advance

One of the things that really irritated me earlier this year was when Democrats were unable to force Bush’s hand on Iraq by using the emergency funding bill he had called for. It wasn’t the Democratic failure that really got on my nerves, it was how quick the left were to jump down their throats for it. When you deal in politics,

Rudy's Scare Tactics Might Work

And if they do, that means the president’s speech last night might just have an effect as well. Whatever the case, it would seem as though America is still held under the thrall of Terror Management Theory, all efforts to drag us out of such a lull seemingly falling to no avail. I’ve written more than extensively on Terror

Values Voters Rejoice!

You know something? I’ve been sitting here, thinking to myself, where have the family values gone? I’m serious. It seems as though the entire 2008 presidential contest is simply voide of good old fashioned American family values. Rudy’s on his third wife and his first was a cousin. Hillary… come on, she was

In the comments to this post, Mick makes mention of the fact that Republicans are really showing their winner stripes this week. But oh, we’re not done… not by a long shot. Today’s edition of “Your Obvious Is Showing” brings us to the 2008 presidential campaign where stakes are high and anything goes. As

As We Watched

While Washington led by George Bush continues to diverge further and further away from the will of the American people, no mistake should be made; we are watching, we are paying attention, and we are very, very, pissed. A new Reuters/Zogby poll released shows Bush checking in with another record low showing at 29%. Meanwhile, Congress is

Who Breaks Worse

I think things would be so much easier if President Bush could run for a third term. This would make the 2008 presidential election picture at least a little bit clearer anyway. Think of it this way, if Bush was capable of running for a third term, I doubt he would still opt to step down. As a result, the GOP would either bite the bullet

Bush's Ugly Veto (UPDATE)

Ah… Remember the good old days when Bush supported aggressively pursuing health care coverage for underpriveleged children? I do. WPvideo 1.10 Bush Supports SCHIP in 2004 Whatever happened to that? The program in question, SCHIP, is one of those programs one would think is next to impossible to oppose. It provides health
