The elections have been predetermined. Vote for someone else for a change, republicans and democrats are both alike, they promise and do exactly the same shit, with the same results ... choose the little guys, they the ones that will likely do your country any good. Remember how Kerry and Bush were both Skull & Bones members who monopolized the previous US Presidential elections?
Those parties are run by the same corporate interests, nothing rarely changes.

| Poll shows Muslims in U.S. lean to Democrats American Muslims were most concerned about civil liberties, education Reuters Updated: 12:49 p.m. PT Oct 24, 2006 WASHINGTON - More American Muslims are now supporting the Democratic Party but their votes should not be taken for granted, an Islamic civil rights group said Tuesday. The Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, released a poll of 1,000 registered Muslim voters in the United States it said showed the community has changed a great deal since supporting Republicans in 2000. The poll found 42 percent of respondents were Democrats and 17 percent Republican, while some 28 percent had no party affiliation, said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad. "It shows that Muslim community votes should not be taken for granted," said Awad, adding: "There's a shift in their political orientation." The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. Estimates of the number of Muslim Americans vary between 3 million and 7 million. Eighty-nine percent of those surveyed said they vote regularly. In 2000, American Muslims endorsed and voted for Republican candidate Bush, but they switched to support the Democrats in 2004 to protest what was seen as anti-Muslim policies by the Bush administration. Key issues CAIR research director Mohamed Nimer said the survey showed American Muslims were most concerned about civil liberties -- an issue that has dominated the community since the Sept. 11 attacks carried out by Muslim extremists -- and education. Foreign policy issues followed closely behind, it showed. "There is a tremendous opposition to the Bush administration policies," Nimer said, citing the 55 percent of respondents who felt the war on terror has become a war on Islam. Eighty-eight percent believed the Iraq war was not worthwhile for the United States and 90 percent were against using military means to spread democracy around the world. Politics of 9/11 The survey also showed about 43 percent of those questioned felt they had been discriminated against or been the subject of racial profiling. Since the Sept. 11 attacks, news of domestic wiretapping, monitoring of mosques, immigration crackdowns, public support for racial profiling and bans on some Muslim scholars visiting the United States made many Muslim Americans feel like targets of racism. CAIR officials said Muslim political groups had not yet decided to endorse a party for the upcoming Nov. 7 elections. But they have launched an aggressive effort in Muslim communities across the country to register voters, and then plan on getting people to actually vote. URL: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15403186/ |

My point is Dont get me wrong, what. Thats my overview on it, no point in arguing this because I am not pulling out any more "hard evidence" because as I noticed earlier its completely pointless and a waste of time for a college student who is trying to catch up on advanced physics. |

| Originally posted by MisterOpus1 The ad itself, however, is kinda funny considering that Kurt Warner and Mike Sweeney are in there. Can't speak for too many St. Louis fans, but folks here in KC can't stand Sweeney. He wore out his welcome long ago, despite his great hitting abilities. The ****** is ALWAYS injured, and never plays more than 1/2 the freaking season. Shoulda traded him long ago. There were also rumors a season or two ago that teammates were getting tired of his Bible-thumping bullshit in the lockerroom (that is admittedly heresay, but the AM sports radio guys ate it up for a while). Then again, not much else to expect from our Walmart owner in the first place. God I miss the 80's and the Royals..... |
this is one reason why liberals will not achieve a damn thing this year.

| Fifty or so other Republican candidates have also been made targets in a sophisticated �Google bombing� campaign intended to game the search engine�s ranking algorithms. By flooding the Web with references to the candidates and repeatedly cross-linking to specific articles and sites on the Web, it is possible to take advantage of Google�s formula and force those articles to the top of the list of search results. |
holy crap, Webb is TOAST!

A naked boy ran happily toward him from a little plot of dirt. The man grabbed his young son in his arms, turned him upside down, and put the boy�s penis in his mouth.� |
^ LOL what is going on in congress!

| From Publishers Weekly Webb's cultural and political portrayal of Vietnam 25 years after the war's end is delivered with such bold strokes and magical detail that it really doesn't matter that the plot itself is relegated to the backseat. This is a highly personal and empathetic look at today's Vietnam, a land of misery and inequity, yet one still vibrantly alive. The story follows the experiences of Brandon Condley, an ex-Marine whose job it is to find missing American soldiers, dead or alive. Condley is trying to track down Theodore Deville, an army grunt who not only deserted his unit in 1969 and killed a fellow serviceman, but then joined the ranks of the enemy. Condley is convinced Deville is still alive, operating somewhere in southeast Asia's underground economy. Webb introduces a rich cast of supporting characters as Condley pursues his quarry across Vietnam, Australia, the former Soviet Union and Thailand. Among the most delicately etched is Dzung, a former South Vietnamese officer now relegated, like thousands of others on the losing side, to a menial station in life, one that he and his family have no hope of escaping. Such characters, as well as the highly textured mood and atmosphere that Webb creates, tend to further eclipse the main narrative and shift the focus to the moral consequences and social fallout of the war. This detailed, lovingly drawn portrait of Vietnam reveals a sad, tortured country that has never recovered from the horrifying events of a quarter-century ago. Major print and radio advertising. (Sept. 4)Forecast: Webb (Fields of Fire) is no stranger to the bestseller lists; endorsements from heavy hitters like Sen. John McCain will help put him there once again. http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Soldiers...ie=UTF8&s=books |

| Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, warned Republicans that scare tactics against Democrats will not succeed in increasing social or economic conservative voters on Election Day. �The big-spending, high-deficit, morally-deficient Republican Party hasn�t anything to offer conservatives except Halloween scare tactics about the Democrats. But since the GOP majority in Congress has engaged in an unprecedented spending spree, conservatives know that Democrats cannot be any worse and that divided government may lead to less spending,� Viguerie said. �And conservatives have learned that, while Republicans sometimes provide significant symbolism on social issues, in truth, many of them have a disdain for values voters,� he added. �Trying to frighten conservatives by yelling �Nancy Pelosi� and �Harry Reid� won�t work this time." http://www.conservativesbetrayed.co...ease-102406.php |

| Originally posted by MisterOpus1 Hmm, perhaps, or we could hope that Matthews actually puts such quotes in context on fictional stories, especially those stories based on the insanities of war like that of Vietnam. Perhaps that's something that McCain could attest to, and perhaps that's why he even ENDORSED Webb's book: Of course we should expect Allen to know everything about Vietnam because he was there with McCain and Webb serving, wasn't he? Oh wait, dang. Not another GOP skirting the Vietnam war? Shoot, sorry. You GOPers are funny. What fucking issues do you have left? You are down to nothing but sliming the fuck out of your opposition at all stops. You got your Senate leader telling you to ignore the biggest issue of this campaign: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006...D8KVN0K00.shtml So I guess we all can understand why you're going ad hominem style rather than attacking the issues. Of course you won't listen to some of your own more experienced Conservative commentators: So why does it truly matter anyway? I have to hear the local radio of our state AG Phil Kline going after his opposition, a former GOP man who turned Democrat because he had enough of the insanity of the extremist Right running our state into the fucking ground. And then of course there's the slime of Bond going after his opponent in Missouri - Talent that little slimy fucking weasel won't even discuss Iraq, the fucking war he's supported Bush on at all stops (not that Talent supported the troops very well anyway: http://capwiz.com/iava/bio/?id=352). When the subject is brought up, Talent goes after McKaskill's finances instead and refuses to even talk about THE issue of the election (of course his hands aren't terribly clean in their own right on this regard: http://www.firedupmissouri.com/talent_paseo_securities). Typical. But hey, let's not stop there with all the fun. Here's another local Bushite, and sadly to say a fellow KU Alumni, caught up in his own bullshit with Foley connections: http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansa...al/15829375.htm Then again, you guys seem to have more than just one issue with pages lately: http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter...ahl_names_.html But hey, corruption is abounds with you guys, such as one of your boys out in Nevada: http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/s.../566610130.html Sliming Hillary: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/pol...9p-390714c.html Intimidating latino voters: http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/merc...ia/15791512.htm S. Florida's doing quite swimmingly too: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/15856692.htm And the Tennessee ad against Ford was quite cute of you guys: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15418962/ Going after his fucking family, no less: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/a...23tennessee.htm Yes sir, no slimeball tactics from the GOP these days. All positive. All current, present-day issues. Keep at it, Q. You give me the hearty chuckles! |
