Elections - December 2007

I'm very interested in this upcoming election considering it has the power to tip the future of America in either direction. There is always debate in my family about the candidates, but I'd rather form my own opinion. Does anyone know where to get unbiased POLITICAL information about the candidates?

Why does everyone always act so surprised when the intelligence services do things to make it harder to investigate them or provide (necessary) government oversight over their activities? The destruction of the CIA interrogation tapes that involve "waterboarding" is a perfect example.
Doesn't anyone remember the history of these agencies? They get out of line every decade or so and only congressional investigations act to provide any outside restraint. Remember the Church and Pike committee hearings in the 1970's? The Iran-Contra hearings in the 1980's? It is a pity our congress is so pathetic these days, because they would never take the political flak that such hearings would generate today for them. Which means that the word "oversight" has lost any meaning.

Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record:

He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.

Scary, there is no seperation between church and state. And everyone seems to be a Christian. The reason that's scary is it gives people in power a sence that they can do anything (ie Bush) and it's the will of God. Power corrupts. We are in trouble. Anyone get me?

I get flamed everytime I post about Obama's "blackness". The following is from his own church's website. Please explain how this is NOT racist. Here's your test, take out the word black and replace it with white. Re-read it and tell me it's not racist.

Their agenda would certainly be for other than our ideals, dangerously opposite our Constitution, and I feel we would be in must more disarray than we are with GWB in office. So say yourselves?

First, Giuliani and McCain are the best of friends; going to baseball games, praising each other as servants of the people, and so forth. McCain and Thompson, of course, have been allies since the 2000 election and their time together in the Senate. And now, there seems to be a tag team running between McCain and Huckabee. All the frontrunners are accounted for in this bond of camaraderie.

Except Mitt Romney. Every one of the aforementioned candidates has taken aim at the former Governor, each seeking to knock him out of the race with one shot; and each on a different front, as the below-mentioned article gives evidence to.

Republicans know they'll need all hands on election day. They have to be united. But if Romney ends up being nominated, how will the others stand behind him? As Huckabee himself noted, "When they're shooting at you, it means you're in front."
