Is anything either of the Democratic Presidential Hopefuls says binding? Not at all. Do either of the candidates have any records pushing for the topics they now stand behind so strongly? Also negative. Let us be very clear on what’s going on here. It’s called sweet talk. Not straight-talk, not genuine-talk - but sweet talk. The story you give your Mom when you’re trying to go out again on a Friday night though she’s skeptical. “Of course I’ll be home before 1:00AM, no I won’t drink any alcohol, of course I won’t smoke pot Mom!” We’ve all been there - or the most of us I would say. This is exactly what we’re currently seeing with the Democratic Candidates. Hillary seems to be willing to say anything that will advance her cause.

When it comes to pulling our troops out of Iraq - she says yes to everything. Will you pull out our troops when you become President? “Yes!” - will you leave troops in the country? “Yes!” Will we have to keep a certain contigent of troops there to protect American interests? “Yes”. I would love to be the person asking the questions here because I would follow up with “Can you define what American interests are?” and secondly, “how can you claim that you’re going to pull our troops out of the country where we’re building the largest US embassy in the world there?”.

Of course to neither of the questions would we receive a straight up answer, because Politicians are trained not to answer questions. The reason for this is the fact that straight answers would reveal too much of the truth. The discrepancy between what Politicians say and what’s really going on is usually very stark. The feeling that I’m getting here is that neither of them are really going to do what they say, and there isn’t a thing we can about it. It’s not like Candidates have to fill out a form with all the points they plan to address and we can reference that at a later point in time. Instead what we get is the usual sweat talk that’s starting to piss me off more and more as the days go on.

I was listening to the Bill Press radio show this morning and either he or someone else said something that I believe to be true for myself. When the Primary Campaigns started, the notion I got from the people I spoke to was that any Democratic Candidate would suffice. Now however myself and many others feel slightly different about that. The reason in my case is the fact that the candidates that spoke the most truth, aren’t in the race anymore. What’s more, the candidates remaining aren’t speaking about any truly problematic issues. What about the invasion of privacy? What about the fact that our military is in shambles? Why isn’t the blackwater issue more of a topic? Because those are issues that you can’t get a majority of people behind you. They are controversial issues and they require someone to take a hard stance - a stance that most presidential candidates aren’t willing to take at this point because I’m sure that pollsters are telling them not to.

To sum it up I think it’s safe to say that many people are looking at the Primaries and are thinking that we’re being fooled, once again.

Another politician gets caught being hypocritical. Doesn’t matter which side of the aisle they’re on it seems they’re all equal in their involvement in Sex, Drugs, Crime. The upsetting part here of course is the fact that it’s people like Spitzer that have prosecuted others for their misconduct. What I find amazing is how easy it all goes over his lips. It’s like he knew that day was going to come and he just pulled out the right script for the right occasion.

Whether it’s Mark Foley who was protecting teenagers on the internet yet using the same internet to hit on congress pages, or the religious City leader in Washington who was caught was a gay prostitute doing meth - the level of hypocrisy in this country is so incredible - what’s more incredible is the fact that people still listen to these crooks and liars. The more they push for something in terms of legislation the more it seems that’s what they’re guilty of doing the thing they’re trying to outlaw. It’s like they’re running political lives based on the sins they know they’ve committed.

Get ready people. You may think I’m an alarmist - go read some more history and maybe we can then agree on what’s going on in this country. Below is a video which makes me so mad I don’t even know where to put the anger. Many people will watch it and say so what? I’ll tell you what - this is how it starts. Let’s remember what this gentlemen did - all he said was 9/11 was an inside job. First of all if anyone could show me that there is conclusive evidence that there wasn’t some level of knowledge on the government’s side, I’d be real happy about that but that hasn’t happened yet. Secondly, and most importantly “Journalists” on TV are calling for someone to be tasered. Why don’t you shut you onesided ignorant mouth for one minute and just report what happened? For once I’d like to have you newsreaders shut your filthy pie holes and just report.

I just heard about this article on the radio and I wanted to repost it so more people get to read it.

This has been taken from the article named “The Gaza Bombshell” - writen by David Rose - published on vanityfair.com The full article can be viewed here.

After failing to anticipate Hamas’s victory over Fatah in the 2006 Palestinian election, the White House cooked up yet another scandalously covert and self-defeating Middle East debacle: part Iran-contra, part Bay of Pigs. With confidential documents, corroborated by outraged former and current U.S. officials, David Rose reveals how President Bush, Condoleezza Rice, and Deputy National-Security Adviser Elliott Abrams backed an armed force under Fatah strongman Muhammad Dahlan, touching off a bloody civil war in Gaza and leaving Hamas stronger than ever.

What problem could I possibly have this ad? I will gladly answer that question. The problem I have with this ad is as follows.

It’s 6:24 AM and I’m watching Morning Joe on MSNBC. Joe Scarborough, although I don’t agree with his arguments most of the time, is at least someone I can listen to because he’s credible. He served in the Florida State Congress, why he left and landed on MSNBC I don’t know. What I do know is this. George W. Bush had less experience in Politics than my Mom does with computers and my Mom can barely move her mouse over the screen without causing severe errors.

As I’ve said before it took me way too long to find Keith Olberman but man he is getting better and better out of my point of view. Nobody on TV only dares to say the things he does and how he manages to sit at a table with Chris Matthews I don’t know.

We’re at war and if the wimps that call themselves democrats want to keep us from getting into a war with Iran they better grow some balls quickly. I’m reading more and more articles on the internet from various credible sources such as Scott Ritter that the situation is dire. Just yesterday I read an article on alternet.org about Daniel Ellsberg who was instrumental in the release of the pentagon papers. There was actually a movie about this in 2003 with the same title. The movie shows how Ellsberg was at first a staunch supporter of the war but when it became clear to him that many of the facts about the Vietnam War were being kept from the American public, he leaked the pentagon papers to the press and it was made public what a mess this war really was.

Just a little reminder that we’re still at war. We’re not liberating anyone, nor have we. We’ve brought death, destruction, hunger, lack of power and water, rapes, and more to this country. “But they are much better off now” according to all the neocon wingnuts. The projected toital cost of this war currently are projected at around 1.5 trillion. One more time - one-point-five-trillion-dollars. So while our troops are destroying a country by their mere presence, while our troops are standing by while the Taliban again have re-erected their opium production, while we’re breeding more terrorists than we could possible kill in Iraq or else where in the world - people are loosing their houses - Veterans are loosing their benefits, returning soldiers don’t get the care that they deserve. I wrote a post a few days ago about the upcoming DVD “no end in sight” and I must tell you - it’s depressing.

It’s depressing to see how these incompetent crooks are leading this country straight down a road of disaster. Everything they stand for: security, fiscal responsibility, less government - it’s amazing that any Republican even dares to utter those words.

I’m just ranting here…
