Reach Out and Touch Faith
“Your own personal Jesus Someone to hear your prayers Someone who cares Your own personal Jesus Someone to hear your prayers Someone who’s there” – Depeche Mode – Personal Jesus While we spent over a year on this site and two plus years before that focusing on the deceptive car-salesman-like tactics of the Bush administration [...]
Majority Rules
So here we are.
Four more years of George W. Bush. At least two more years of an expanded Republican congressional majority. And unlike the elections of 2000, there’s no cloud of illegitimacy to occupy our sense of outrage. The people have spoken, and we have to deal with their decision, for better or for worse.
Why He’s the Top Dog
Bill Clinton speaking at a John Kerry rally 10/25/04: “In the closing days of this campaign, John Kerry is going on being John Kerry — talking about his hopes for America; his plans for America; his commitment to our security and our prosperity. Now, one of Clinton’s laws of politics is this, if one candidate’s [...]
How You Know You Have The Right Guy On Your Team
Before the September takeover of John Kerry‘s campaign by former Bill Clinton advisors, Kerry’s campaign was as vanilla as they come. Those days are long gone: Mike McCurry, a former Clinton spokesman now advising the Kerry campaign, said Bush again lost on style points. “He just looked so distracted, and he still looked peeved to [...]
The Economic and National Security Implications of Restricting Science
Republicans have introduced national security and economic concerns into just about every issue debated in the last three years. Tax cuts, secretive machinations, confidential meetings, and everything under the sun has received the protection of either “you’ll kill the economy if you…” or “you’ll compromise national security if…” Many of the occasions where these excuses [...]

Maybe Kerry Does Want It
Perhaps I was a bit premature: Kerry campaign hires an ace: Sen. John Kerry on Tuesday hired Bill Clinton‘s former press secretary, Mike McCurry, adding yet another adviser who worked for the two-time Democratic presidential winner. I would love to know how the new additions will be integrated in the campaign structure. There are a [...]
The Quickest Way to Lose an Election
Is this some kind of joke?: The candidate sits at the front of the plane while the [traveling national] media stay in the back. Usually, reporters can get a glimpse of his gray mane when he stands in the aisle chatting with staff. Occasionally, he throws around a football on the airport tarmac, sometimes inviting [...]
Hitting Back Hard
After taking punches for two weeks, the Kerry campaign looks ready to hit back. Their new internet-only (for now) ad is 45 seconds of a debate from the 2000 Republican primaries between John McCain, George W. Bush and Alan Keyes. McCain confronts Bush on the smear tactics used against him by “fringe veterans groups,” and [...]
“Proclaiming mission accomplished certainly doesn’t make it so.”
John Kerry takes charge. Any questions? Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention didn’t have the charm of Bill Clinton, the youthful exuberance of Barack Obama, the fire of Al Sharpton or the southern drawl of John Edwards. But in the end, it will be judged as the most effective of the four nights. Sen. [...]
