ABCNews.com: “Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry picked New York City, host to next week’s Republican National Convention, to urge the GOP to abandon negative attacks and debate solutions to problems facing voters.” Now there’s a novel concept. The fact that Bush and Co. (along with the media) have spent so much time focusing on this […]

Thursday, August 19th, 2004 · Comments Off on Trustworthiness

In response to Cal Thomas‘ editorial in today’s Saratogian, I just sent the following letter to the editor (unfortunately, I can’t find the original piece online): To the Editor: How ironic that Cal Thomas declares the following in his editorial criticizing Kerry (“Where is Kerry’s evidence of trustworthiness?”): “A president must always put America’s interests […]

Fundrace.org

Wednesday, August 11th, 2004 · 2 Comments

Fundrace.org puts your political contributions into the public domain. It’s really interesting to look at the Money Maps, browse the city donation maps (to see that individuals at 101 California represent the biggest Republican contributors in San Francisco), and even search by name for your friends and family. I donate often to MoveOn.org and the […]

Protect Human Rights

Tuesday, July 13th, 2004 · 4 Comments

It makes me so mad that the GOP is attempting to go to the Constitution to restrict rights by trying to make marriage between a man and a woman. That goes against not just the spirit of America, but the spirit of the Republican party. Isn’t the party supposed to be about states’ rights and […]

Unspecified Terror Threat

Friday, July 9th, 2004 · 2 Comments

Bush team: Al-Qaida threat looms before fall elections: “Bush administration officials warned Thursday of possible ‘large-scale’ Al-Qaida terrorist attacks before the November presidential election that are intended to influence the outcome.” Translation: We’re tired of Kerry and Edwards stealing all the headlines and we want to scare the American people into re-electing Bush because that’s […]

Kerry & Edwards

Wednesday, July 7th, 2004 · Comments Off on Kerry & Edwards

From the end of an email from John Edwards to Kerry supporters:: “Between now and November, the American people are going to reject the tired old negative politics of the past and they’re going to embrace the politics of hope, because this is America, where everything is possible. We believe the best of America is […]

Vote Man, Not Puppet

Conservative and former Bush voter Charley Reese on May 17, 2004: “John Kerry is at least an educated man, well-read, who knows how to think and who knows that the world is a great deal more complex than Bush’s comic-book world of American heroes and foreign evildoers. It’s unfortunate that in our poorly educated country, […]

Protect Your Vote

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2004 · Comments Off on Protect Your Vote

Here’s the latest, very important campaign from MoveOn.org: Dear MoveOn member, We all remember the election of 2000. Because of faulty and mismanaged election systems, George W. Bush won Florida’s electoral votes and the presidency. And now look at the mess we’re in. People demanded improvements, and now states are spending millions to buy new […]

No Coincidence

Thursday, May 27th, 2004 · Comments Off on No Coincidence

Just as public support for Bush’s action in Iraq hits an all-time low, there’s this big announcement about a terrorist strike in America this summer. Political weapon? I wonder if the terror alert will suddenly rise to red around late October, early November. Al Qaeda prepared to strike ‘hard’ at U.S., officials warn / ANALYSIS: […]
