in Paul Volcker: A True Conservative in the Obama Camp on The Washington Independent
Excellent point JSS. Why can't 'Liberal' be fiscally responsible. In fact recent history shows that they are. Its time for some new labels.

Swami_Binkinanda Conservatism is the brand name of a religion in which two opposite states can be true at the same time. It has little or nothing to do with philosophy and rejects reason, as reasoning and being reasonable are Liberal traits. For conservatives, Liberalism is Fascism. Simply pretend words do not have meanings beyond as pejoratives from the brain injured. Obama is a Muslim who attends to a bad Christian church. Obama is the most liberal senator in the Senate despite the best efforts of Independent Socialist Bernie Sanders. Progressive Taxation is socialism even though every conservative has more or less avoided abolishing it. The CRA was bad, but Bush II's "Ownership Society" was not. Redistribution of wealth is bad except when taxpayer dollars are sent to industrial farmers, failed Wall Street firms, and to oil companies who struggle under the burdens of record profitability.

in Palin Cut Funds for Special Olympics on The Washington Independent
If Palin wanted to help the special needs children she would be working for Easter Seals.

She appears to me as an ambitous opportunist.

The Republicans need to get a new face for their party or they are really going to marginalize themselves.

in McCain Pushes Obama Link to Islamic Terror on The Washington Independent
I don't think the Jewish community is known to be stupid and easily manipulated. We are not going to recruit the rest of the world in this fight against Muslim extremist if we continue on the Republican path. Obama will help to incorporate other countries in this a struggle. McCain wants to go it alone and we do not have the resources.

in $150 Million!!!! on Jack and Jill Politics
$150 million is cheap if it keeps us out of having someone like Sarah Palin in power.

Iran (our enemy )now controls the Shiite parliment in Iraq. We have to support the Sunni militias or we just handed Iraq to the Iranians. This mess-up is going to go on for decades.. and could precipitate a truly huge war and will drain this country for a long time.
