president

I think George Clooney needs to step up and run for President. Americans are in thrall with the cult of personality (hence Trump), so the Democrats need someone really famous. Do you agree, or do you have a better suggestion? Just kicking off the discussion Dems really need to have early...

For all those naysaying President-Elect Obama already, you should read this... Cabinet, press secretary picks expected soon It looks to be a move in the right direction. :D

Well, according to the Yahoo Political Dashboard (YPD) it seems pretty much all the final results are in... Electoral College Obama 349 McCain 189 That's assuming that Missouri, Georgia, and North Carolina all go to McCain, which seems likely. Couple this with the popular vote totals...

Okay, I wanted to get the jump on things here. Let's list all the buzzwords, phrases, etc that we should all listen for Tuesday night in order that we may all maximize our level of inebriation and social ackwardness :p I'll start... Kill your drink if you hear "landslide" :D Proceed.

It looks like McCain will be the GOP nod. Here is just a small pick of issues about McCain. From this website http://www.ontheissues.org/John_McCain.htm Supports repealing Roe v. Wade (May 2007) Things are tough now, but we're better off than in 2000(Jan 2008) Leave gay marriage to the...

A lot more people seem to be at least considering voting for Giuliani than approve of Bush's job performance. So a question for anyone who disapproves of president Bush's job performance but is considering voting for Giuliani: Why would Giuliani be any better than Bush?

Political Lunch had some interesting food for thought today. They used the ABC news site's "Match-o-Matic,' which is a tool for finding the candidate whose positions on issues are closest to your own, and then plugged in polling data on the American people's positions on those same issues. While...

I for one welcome our inevitable new overlady. All signs now are starting to point in one direction: Hillary will be our next president, barring some kind of major new scandal or gaffe on her part. The Polls Every recent poll seems to be saying the same thing: Hillary beats every Republican...

Saw how they laughed in the face of Iran's prez as he stated "we don't have homosexuals in our country like you do...." Smooth. First he wasn't saying "we have none" but "we don't have them like you do here which is IMO no doubt true. Second, even if for the sake of argument we assume...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070903/ap_on_re_mi_ea/bush US Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, George Bush, has landed in Anbar province on a surprise visit to the war zone in Iraq. Before hopping Air Force One on this jaunt, Bush met on Friday with his top military chiefs at the Pentagon...

The first presidential forum ever that is dedicated to LGBT issues goes down tonight! You can watch it on their website. Oddly, none of the Republicans decided to attend. I personally think that all the "debates" that they keep doing should the one issue. That way, the people can really get...

I am reposting a recent note I sent to the Republican National Committee: ************************************************************************************** How embarrassing it is to have three of the candidates from the recent debate NOT believe in evolution. Anyone not believing in...

So out of the 43 presidents; listed are the top 19 (Not necissarily the best 19 but the most known 19 for good or bad, I had to include Bush to see if anyone would vote for him), of the Presidents listed, which U.S. President did the best job?

Gleaned from dailykos.com. Does my heart good to see where atheists rank on this list. Hey, at least we'd get Tim Hardaway's vote! If your party nominated a well-qualified Candidate For WH '08 who was _, would you vote for that person? Yes No...

Falwell for President I, for one, welcome our new zealous Christian overlord! :eye-poppi

I'd like to se an asian/pacific american run for president, would you? There are about 6 members of the asian pacific american congressional caucus, the 2 senators from Hawaii and a few scattered representatives. Only one is a republican -Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. I'm unaware of any asian...

I just want to make it clear that, at this time, I am not forming an exploratory committee and have no plans to run for President of the United States. Thank you.

A Danish "artist group" (whatever that is) has managed to get this advertisement printed in the state controlled newspaper Tehran Times in Iran. Under the picture of Mahmoud Ahmedinejad there are five sentences apparently supporting the official Iranian view of things. But if you look at the...

There are reasons why we hate certain politicians. I got to where I couldn’t stand Bill Clinton because he actually grooved on lying to us. It wouldn’t have been so bad, except he was so frigging smug about it, taking the attitude that he did it because, somehow, he was better than us, and...

I wonder if he was framed? That seems to be the usual excuse. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/753547.html

It seems Senator Frist will never be president if for no other reason than he's too dim to realize that you don't surrender to the enemy before you've even been elected. I think he's already backtracking. SorryI don't have the quote. US News

Whatever any of us think about Ahmadinejad personally or politically, I think it's a very good thing that he's blogging. And apparently his blog allows comments?! This should make for interesting reading, particularly if they keep comments enabled and unedited, and he responds to the comments...

Don't have detailed information yet. I just saw the headline on msn. Will fill in post as soon as it comes in. Palestine president stated he has been in negotiations on release of Gilad Shalit, and that he was close to an agreement. Other reports have stated "expecting his release is...

No word on how much he'd had to drink. Link. So if I understand correctly, if Kerry had been elected, Israel wouldn't be invading Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah right now because we would have already done it instead of invading Iraq.

I've just had an email from the NCH forum c/o Lady Dr Rubi that there are big changes going on at the NCH. Most notable was the paragraph stating that MAS has become Chief Homeopathic Advisor to council / president for Pakistan! I really feel sorry for them. A circular has been issued by the...

http://edition.cnn.com/2006/US/06/21/un.us.small.arms.ap/ I'm always fascinated by conspiracies. I especially like how the resolution to prevent Americans from owning hanguns was scheduled for July 4. I guess evil cabalists have a very strong sense of symbolism.

In the guardian today i was reading an article - well written and well argued....from another anti-war left-wing journo i presumed....the last couple of paragraphs got a little religious tho...which i thought a little strange for the guardian.....so i looked at the writer - would you believe...

Coming soon on an episode of "College Minorities Gone Wild": Gallaudet Univ. President-Elect Draws Fire OK, so they're not a minority at the school. But I think this is akin to black students protesting a choice of a white university president. I agree with the following quote:

George W. Bush, asked today whether he regrets not doing more during his first term to prevent high gas prices now: "You might remember when I first came in. I think the price of oil was like -- I know it was below $20. And it's all of a sudden now that the price of oil is up, alternatives...
