Could it be that John McCain has run out of lies? In the latest in his long series of drastic campaign strategy changes, he’s finally getting around to telling the truth about George Bush’s failed presidency.
Voters are very afraid Senator McCain will extend Bush’s policies that have led to foreign policy and economic catastrophes. [...]

My favorite documentary about the occupation of Iraq is Charles Ferguson’s “No End In Sight.” It clearly lays out the mind-boggling ineptitude of the Bush administration’s attempt to govern a country they had little or no knowledge of, with predictably disastrous results.

After more than five and a half years of this fiasco, there is [...]

Not really a picture of “Joe The Terrorist”
Via Talking Points Memo…
OK, his name isn’t really Joe and he may not even be a licensed terrorist. According to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors al-Qaeda communications, a Web site message this week said they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a [...]

Via Talking Points Memo. At an campaign event yesterday on the first day of early voting in Tampa, Florida, Barack Obama responded to Sarah Palin’s claim that some parts of our country are “what I call the real America,” and others are not “pro-America.”
Here’s an excerpt from his speech:
There are no real or fake [...]

If I get any more b.s. about “the angry left” from right-wingers, I’m going to post a link to this video of Sarah Palin supporters a week ago in Pennsylvania…

Do they really believe Senator Obama is a “terrorist” and a “baby killer”? These people are so pissed off they can’t think [...]

[A] surrender date … is not a good idea. It is defeat. It is a death sentence for the millions of Iraqis who voted for a constitution, who voted for a government, who voted for a free and democratic society. [White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, April 23, 2007]
The Associated Press reports that U.S. [...]

Today, Senator McCain revealed his solution to the American economic crisis– a capital gains tax cut. A tax cut for millionaires, in other words, the same thing Herbert Hoover tried in 1929.
Unfortunately, only one percent of Americans are millionaires (3 million out of 300 million). Last July, Robert Reich explained that what [...]

Lately, McCain/Palin events have attracted lots of angry white racists. The reason for this probably has something to do with the fact that their campaign is spending almost its entire ad budget on dishonest attack ads, and the candidates themselves are questioning Barack Obama’s patriotism and accusing him of “palling around with terrorists.”
McCain [...]

Raw Story reporter Eric Brewer recently asked White House Press Secretary Dana Perino to comment on Senator McCain’s interesting claim that he knows how to find Osama bin Laden.
Q: John McCain said recently that he knows how to get Osama bin Laden. And a couple of months ago he said that he knows how to [...]

I’ve already voted. Vote by mail is the way to go. If you want to, you can vote now in person at the Salt Lake County Clerk’s office. Soon we will be able to vote at various sites around the county. You can also fill out the vote by mail ballot [...]

Two months ago, it looked like the Iraqis had succeeded in forcing the Bush administration to go along with a troop withdrawal timetable similar to that proposed by Senator Barack Obama.

That was then, apparently. The latest reports of secret talks to replace the U.N. mandate authorizing the occupation of Iraq with a treaty indicate [...]

McClatchy News Service has interviewed more than a half-dozen officials on condition of anonymity about a new top-secret National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iraq. Such estimates reflect the consensus of all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies.
This NIE completely contradicts recent claims by the McCain campaign that “victory in Iraq is finally in sight.” [...]
