The Hollow Man
An essay by William Rivers Pitt that lays out the truth about McCain--the hollow man.http://www.truthout.org/article/the-hollow-manEXCERPTS: Nothing much can be said about a man who now supports the repeal of Roe v.

Let's Hear from an Alaskan on McCain's Choice
The following blog by an Alaskan is a must read for people looking to get factual information and background on Sarah Palin. It has several well sourced, footnoted articles on McCain's VP choice.

McCain -- SAVED by the STORM!!!
The Republicans couldn't figure how to exclude Duhmbya from the convention -- after all, he is the seated president of their party, albeit THE. WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. So what were they ever going to do with him? Well, they had to have him speak if he attended, so they scheduled him for Monday, the first day -- and as far away from McCain (on Thursday)...

Racism in our country simmers in this election

Sarah Palin is a former beauty queen
...and is still an attractive woman. That might be enough to get her the white male Republican votes. She's also a hunter, a member of the NRA, and likes to drive a snowmobile. And she's in the midst of a political scandal in her home state of Alaska. Plus, she thinks creationism should be taught in our schools. In the eyes of some Republicans, these...
McCain's VP pick: What else? A woman
She's someone most have never heard of -- the Governor of Alaska. But she's a woman. It's obvious the desperate McCain is trying to attract the Hillary lovers. Lots of luck on that one, McCain. Hillary lovers within the Democratic party are smart enough to see that four more years of Bush policies will go along with the woman on your ticket. So...

Fearless Prediction: A Brighter Future!
