Ron Paul at the California Debates
Rudy Giuliani admitted that Ron Paul won all of the debates. Here he is schooling the three candidates who each do not have much of a clue about America. McCain promises more wars and predicts we will be in Iraq for 100 years. Romney wants to double Guantanamo and does not understand the true origin of the terrorist threat and Huckabee is about the same.
The Power of Nightmares
This is a 2004 BBC documentary that juxtaposes the Neoconservative movement with Muslim Extremists that lead to the Iranian Revolution and eventually to Al Qaeda. The common theme of the NeoCons has been to paint of black and white picture of the world drawn out from the TV show Gunsmoke. The US is the good guy. The other common theme was that Intelligence gathering was always wrong and lead to wrong hypothesis on the strength of the enemy.
Both Radical Islam and the Neocons are idealist trying to fight against the corruption of Liberalism and extreme Individuality.

Ron Paul at the South Carolina Debate
Fox excluded him from the New Hampshire debate, but Ron Paul is back at the South Carolina debate to talk some libertarian sense to the Republicans. The best part about the debate is when Paul responds to John McCain’s smart ass remark about Al Qeada.
Kucinich asks for a recount
After Hillary Clinton’s surprising win in New Hampshire there were quiet reports about voting anomalies in hand counted vs. machine counted districts. Those districts that used Diebold machines. Clinton scored 5.54% better in Diebold counted districts while Obama had lost -2.96%. This is enough of a concern for Kucinich to at least request that the results and process be analyzed to make sure that there really is nothing suspect.
Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, the most outspoken advocate in the Presidential field and in Congress for election integrity, paper-ballot elections, and campaign finance reform, has sent a letter to the New Hampshire Secretary of State asking for a recount of Tuesdays election because of unexplained disparities between hand-counted ballots and machine-counted ballots.
Ever since the 2000 election and even before the American people have been losing faith in the belief that their votes were actually counted. This recount isnt about who won 39% of 36% or even 1%. Its about establishing whether 100% of the voters had 100% of their votes counted exactly the way they cast them.
After the 2000 and 2004 elections allegations of voter fraud were not thoroughly investigated despite numerous reports.
Diebold voting machines are vulnerable to hacking as was shown by a Princeton Professor
No one is saying that there was fraud, but these differences along with the spectacular failure of the pollsters to even see the Clinton win as a possibility have to raise enough questions for concern. Pollsters, the media and such are quick to blame themselves and too shy to actually question the system. There is enough evidence of unreliability in the Diebold voting machines that Congress should move to ban these machines and revert to manual methods for the 2008 election. It would be painful and inconvenient, but we need solid and reliable results.
George McGovern Calls for Impeachment
Mr. Conservative himself writes an op-ed in the Washington Post on why he thinks that Bush and Cheny must go now. The argument for Impeachment he says is strong than it was for Nixon.
McGovern even calls into question the validity of the two elections of Bush.
From the beginning, the Bush-Cheney team’s assumption of power was the product of questionable elections that probably should have been officially challenged — perhaps even by a congressional investigation.
How were they able to get away with doing all of the crimes and convicing us to attack Iraq? As they say in the Godfather fear is the greatest motivator.
The basic strategy of the administration has been to encourage a climate of fear, letting it exploit the 2001 al-Qaeda attacks not only to justify the invasion of Iraq but also to excuse such dangerous misbehavior as the illegal tapping of our telephones by government agents. The same fear-mongering has led government spokesmen and cooperative members of the press to imply that we are at war with the entire Arab and Muslim world — more than a billion people.
Obama in Iowa
After a few years of bumbling jibber-jabber speeches where highlights would be a new Bushism, it is infinitely refreshing to listen to someone who is actually competent in public speaking. Barack Obama is not just competent, his speech is moving and inspirational. Its the type of speech that is really transforming the campaign. Obama looks Presidential with the family and the stance. He transcends his race. You don’t really think about the fact that he is black or has a middle name of Hussein. You see some fresh young face that talks about “hope” and it does not seem fake or cheesy.
