Between the Clinton act itself starring the ex-first family, McAuliffe, Wolfson, and a few babbling blondes, you'd think Hillary still had a shot at the presidency.

Hillary is not perfect but she is no monster.

I am sad that Hillary is spending her personal wealth in an uphill battle toward the White House.

I bet that is exactly what Al Qaeda wants too!

Remember, we taught them this strategy when we were allies against the Soviets in Afghanistan.

According to conventional wisdom the antiwar movement swept Republicans out of office in the 2006 midterm elections, and the incompetent Democratic party has been throwing away what the antiwar movement won ever since. -- However, most of the Republicans swept out of office such as our local Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum happened also to be against immigration.

Against all odds, the Government has found yet another way to screw over members of the military. According to this article:

"Saturday Night Live's" Message From Hillary Clinton: "I Have No Ethical Standards" (VIDEO)

I know this was suppose to be funny. I know that it is suppose to be a joke. But sometimes things just are just too real to be funny.

When health insurance is no comfort

Just because you have health insurance doesn't mean you will get Health Care or get to live!

Senator Obama,
You have made much during your campaign for the presidency of the need for a fundamental change in our political process. Your thesis is absolutely correct.

Let's have a discussion about your presidency. Not the first term or the first year or even the first 100 days. Let's talk about your first day in office.
