Now they come out of the dark to "join" McCain's campaign: And another interesting Story is about this Florida GOP Chair sending out racist Anti-Obama e-mails:

On Wednesday, Obama will air a 30 minutes infomercial on CBS, FOX and NBC at 8 pm eastern time - so even if some details leaked in the meantime, I start this thread for some speculation about the outcome of the whole thing - and if it's a good move for the Obama Campaign... More info here...

I am opposed to the new ID card system in the UK, and have seen the campaign group NO2ID refered to in the media recently.... i don't really know all the details of the proposed ID scheme so it's difficult to know if they are accurate in their descriptions of the ID system.....and certainly...

So it costs a ridiculous amount to run a campaign for political office in the US of A. My question - where does all that money go? Who ends up pocketing the majority of that scratch? I'm guessing large chunks go for advertising and travel, but that's just a guess. Does anyone know of even a...

With a small but increasing number of school boards (US state and local, and various countries) allowing the introduction of intelligent design in the science classroom, I'd like to develop a resource that both teachers and students can use in the classroom. I'll be upfront. My intention is a...

There is a printable postcard at this site for anyone who is interested in participating. http://www.paganunitycampaign.org The idea is to let our US Senators and Representatives know that there a whole bunch of us Pagans out there and we vote! I can well understand that many have no choice...

For you who might have a different insight to these subjects, what is your opinions of the site http://www.cfpf.org.uk and it's many pro-survival statements and claims of psychic phenomena being sanely explained by the field of subatomic physics? They quoate a few astrophysics and have a strong...

Yeah, I think that's clear to all of us. Of course, the dummycraps aren't a lot better. I would encourage anyone who hasn't figured out what's going on in this election to read up on the "big lie" technique, and study "The rise and fall of the third reich", with particular attention to the rise...

I just wonder what the purpose of the "Campaign Reform act" is when this week every commercial has been a negative ad on someone.

Well, here is the link. This is just really depressing to read right now... http://www.time.com/time/press_releases/article/0,8599,692562,00.html Prepares for onslaught of rightwing trolls...

Bush campaign looks to organize churches Excerpt: WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- President Bush, seeking to mobilize religious conservatives for his reelection campaign, has asked church-going volunteers to turn over church membership directories, campaign officials said on Thursday. In a move...

http://www.smackdownyourvote.com/ This is a campaign to register fans of professional wrestling. I understand that they want to give it a wrestling-themed title, but using 'smackdown' just doesn't seem right to me. So what other names could they have used that may be more appropriate...

The basic message is this: ***Use Campaign Donations for IMMEDIATE Community Improvement Projects*** People give money to you Senator Kerry, because they believe you know what is best to do with it. Well, do you honestly believe that the BEST thing to do with it is to pay for T.V. ads that...

Has anyone heard anything other than the following about this story from an Indian newspaper? KA Badarinath and Prerna K Mishra Hindustan Times -New Delhi, May 16 http://inn.globalfreepress.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=239

From The Onion:

Here and Here. Are they being premature, or is British participation in EMU still a viable proposition? The failure of the UK to adapt the Euro is likely to make things a bit tricky for the Irish economy over the next few years.

I have a question which is brought to mind by The Passion, but it really has to do with just about any "controversial" thing out there. Has anyone seen a commercial for this movie? I haven't. Not one single piece of promotion. I've known about the movie for months, though. All because of the...

I was watching the weekend news. Now Kerry has gone on record as saying he wouldn't bring up the Shrubs military service. He is on the record. He acts above the fray on the issue. Now, here is the masterstroke. He is out this weekend with this open letter to the president asking for an end to...

I want to know everyone’s opinion on two current hypotheses on the Bush Administration. About two unrelated situations. Hypothesis 1: The Republican congressmen and Bush Administration are going to blame Democrats and CIA for faulty intelligence. Saying that because Intelligence funding...

All you ever hear is that it's dirty politics to dig up dirt on a candidate. Hey...let's hear it. I WANT to hear about the dirt. *I* will be the judge as to whether it is trivial or not. Take Arnold right now. Verrrrry interesting. VERRRRY interesting. He certainly wouldn't be getting MY vote...

3 U.S. Soldiers Killed in Iraq Attacks Three more young Americans dead. I wonder if they ever got a chance to vote. I wonder if they voted for Dubya. I wonder how many more will die before the Bush Reelection Campaign gets the bad news from the American people next November, namely that the...

It more and more looks like their funding is going to dry up, as the biggest donors (who primarily give to Democrats) are now capped at $95k per person in soft money, and the Republicans have a traditional advantage among people who give less. Where will the Democrats get the money to be...

Now I do not know much about diplomacy, but if ( and that is a big if) France wants to normalize relations with the US, I do not think that is the way to do it- particularly with this administration, which values loyalto so. http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/05/15/bush.france/index.html A...
