Politics - 19 September 2007

Jesse Jackson sharply criticized presidential hopeful and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for “acting like he’s white” in what Jackson said has been a tepid response to six black juveniles’ arrest on attempted-murder charges in Jena, La. Jackson, who also lives in Illinois, endorsed Obama in March, according to The Associated Press.

He later says in the article, he doesn't recall saying it.

Granted, I am a republican, but I do have friends who are democrats. I don't like them less. We both respect each others views, and respect the difference between them. I respect that instead of just venting they get out there and try to do something. I may not agree with what they are doing, but they are actually doing something. I don't think everyone can hold hands and sing Love Train, but the sheer hate is a little annoying. I find it annoying because most of the time these individuals are only spouting off at the mouth with no facts or comprehension of the topic. I like political humor, but too much is too much. Anyone feel the same?

Acceptable answers:

A. I knew it would happen before the Iraq War started.
B. I didn't know it would but now accept it. Something needs to change.
C. I know it happened and do not care. It is stupid of you to even consider we are fighting in Iraq to stop terror.
D. I didn't know it happened and will continue to live in ignorance.

Note that answering "C" or "D" will automatically make you a racist.

In a vote today, on Senators Webbs Iraq bill to give the troops the same time between tours as they have deployed.

Nine Democratic Senators voted with the Republicans to defeat his bill.

Is this the end of Democratic solidarity ?

Are more and more Democrats now going to shift to the Republican position on Iraq ?

Did the embarassing MoveOn.org newspaper ad, make the Democratic Senators rethink their positions ?

Can't believe so many news about Iran!!! Ahmadinehad is doing exact same thing as Saddam. Do you remember the letter he sent Bush weeks before the invasion? Well, Ahmadinejad is doing something very similar; wants to deposit flower wreath at Ground Zero!!!

Doesn't he know his days are numbered?!

FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE
The statement tells American voters that Abu Hafs al-Masri supports the re-election campaign of President Bush: "We are very keen that Bush does not lose the upcoming elections." The statement said Abu Hafs al-Masri needs what it called Bush's "idiocy and religious fanaticism" because they would "wake up" the Islamic world.

MORE TERRORISTS FOR BUSH
Al Quaeda group officially backs Bush
"The statement said it supported U.S. President George W. Bush in his reelection campaign, and would prefer him to win in November rather than the Democratic candidate John Kerry, as it was not possible to find a leader "more foolish than you (Bush), who deals with matters by force rather than with wisdom."

In comments addressed to Bush, the group said:

"Kerry will kill our nation while it sleeps because he and the Democrats have the cunning to embellish blasphemy and present it to the Arab and Muslim nation as civilisation."

"Because of this we desire you (Bush) to be elected."

Ok, even if they were both right wing nutcases, -- admittedly there are some. For good measure let's throw in Eric Rudoph and David Koresh as well -- that's FOUR right wing nutcases versus untold millions of Islamofacists and the thousands of liberal nutcases (like Nancy Pelosi) who openly support them."

I mean, besides the 9/11 attacks there were the bombings of our embassies in Africa, the bombings in the UK and Spain, and hundreds of other successful and unsuccessful Islamic terrorist attacks around the world. Can anyone explain their behavior?

Looks like everything is going to be okay after all, thanks to Bush and his keen business sense, and his military background.

By using computers, the Federal government found out over 8 million undocumented people are illegally using Americans' social security numbers.

The ACLU and unions sued to stop the U.S. government from sending out letters to employers of I.D. thieves. The letters tell the employer they either need fire the I.D. thieves, or send the correct social security numbers to the government.

Rather's complaint stems from "CBS' intentional mishandling" of the aftermath of a discredited story about President George W. Bush's time in the Texas Air National Guard.

In regards to abortion and gay rights. If abortion was murder, then why isn't against the law? People say it's murder because of their religious beliefs. Okay, that's fine, but what if I don't believe in your religion, now what? The same thing goes for gay rights.

This book shows how personal freedoms are taken away by the government and what happens. True scifi. I see this book being revelant in today's political discussions about personal freedoms being erroded. Not some patriot act mumbo jumbo that I don't see in my day to day life. Can you be honest here?
