We're not safer now???
How can the administration say that it has made us safe on the one hand and then play the fear card on the other, by saying the Al Qaeda is stronger now? Either we are safer or we are not. I am so tired of these fear mongering bastards that want us to give up all of our liberties for what they call safety. Their ineptness at all things has become evident over the past six years and I can't wait to vote these sacks of excrement from office.

Poe Quote of the Day
Edgar Allan Poe
Being a fan of self-deprecating humor myself, I hold this quote in very high regard! I couldn't have said it better myself Edgar!

The Debate that Wasn't
Unbelievable! The NAACP held a debate for the GOP and only one of the nine candidates even bothered to show up, Tom Tancredo. I did not hear anything about his on the news. Why not? I would think that the entire field of Republican candidates dissing the NAACP would rise to the level of news, but I'm just a lowly citizen. What do I know?
This needs to be made known to the populace at large.

Poe Quote of the Day, Monday, 9 July 2007
-- Edgar Allan Poe
This is a rather bleak assessment of the human condition, but it is
quite hard to argue with. Mankind seems to be dead set on destroying
itself. At each point in history when we have a chance to step away
from the brink, it seems we just edge even closer to it. I hope that
Poe and I are wrong. But I fear that we are not.
Strangely enough, after posting the above quote, Kurzweil.com sent me an e-mail about this story in the NY Times. I think you will notice the synchronistic nature of this.

Poe Quote of the Day
quietly led."
-- Edgar Allan Poe
For those unfamiliar with Poe, he was politically aligned with Socrates in that he was not a big fan of democracy. He, like Socrates before
him, thought that democracy was akin to mob rule. While I in general
share this belief, I also realize that democracy IS the best form of
government yet to be devised. However, I think it is time for a major revision for, as most know, we don't live in a democracy, but a republic. A
republic in which the representatives are from the financial elite and
no one from outside the financial elite can gain access. This is
morally unjustifiable and I think it is crying out for a change.

A Free Energy Machine?

Here is a skeptical viewpoint:
BBC
"I didn't vote for him, but he is my president, and I hope he does a good job"
This is the way that I grew up thinking of the presidency. It was how my father taught me to view the president and how he viewed him. But W has turned that all on its head. He does not listen or respond to the will of the people whom he is supposed to be serving. He is an island unto himself and he cares not what the people who elected him think of what he does. At this point it has become clear that he will do what he wants and there is none to stop him. We have merely to wait until he leaves office. What a long wait that will be!

Why I support John Edwards...
1) He comes from humble beginnings. Yes, he is rich now, but he did not start out that way. When he talks of poverty, he has personal experience to back up the talk.
2) He is rich. Some Repubs really like to play this up as a negative, but they never bring this up if it can be applied to one of their own, which it almost invariably can. In fact, name me one politician who hasn't made a fortune in one way or another. The fact that he is a trial lawyer doesn't bother me either, and it only bothers Republicans because he is not the RIGHT type of trial lawyer, i.e. he sues the rich bastards instead of representing them. That's not their cup of tea at all.
3) He has actual plans, on paper and online. While a few other candidates have come up with health care plans recently, he was one of the first. Dennis actually had one first, but his will NEVER pass, because it mandates a one payer, government sponsored system. And while John leaves open the possibility for this in the future, his plan doesn't grasp at it in the immediate term, because he knows that he won't be able to get it passed! Grand rhetoric is one thing, ideas that can make it through both houses of congress are quite another.
4) The media, and big business HATE him. This alone has to make you wonder why they so vilify him. Could they believe him to be the most electable of the current Dem candidates? I believe this to be the case, and that is why they have released the hell-hound known as Coulter on him.
5) His wife is intelligent, charming, and personable, and not backed by Rupert Murdoch.
These are my reasons that I hope John Edwards wins the Democratic nomination. While I know I may be being played, I still think he is the most competent candidate in the field.
