In a way, it’s all very refreshing. Al Gore’s Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 2000, Joe Lieberman, has been one of John McCain’s biggest supporters, introducing McCain at this year’s Republican convention. Meanwhile, George W. Bush’s Secretary of State and the man who introduced Bush at the 2000 Republican convention, Colin Powell, comes out for [...]

Although I long ago said I’d prefer Barack Obama to any of the other Republican candidates in the field after Ron Paul, Obama has gotten scarier and scarier since he started facing off against McCain rather than Hillary. Next to Hillary, he seemed like a beacon of calm, a supremely intelligent and elegant man who [...]

Why should a lifelong Democrat choose country over party, principles over complacency, true progressivism over lip service and vote for William “BJ” Lawson over my current congressman, incumbent David Price?
Congressman David Price of North Carolina’s 4th District has:
Voted for a $700 billion taxpayer-financed bailout of Wall Street billionaires. That’s reason enough right there to vote [...]

I don’t like Sarah Palin that much (not nearly as much as some people do anyway), and I don’t like Joe Biden, D-MBNA. Having said that, I don’t see how anyone could think Biden won the debate last night.
There is no doubt that Joe Biden is more articulate than Sarah Palin. However, almost nothing he [...]

Alaska Senator Ted Stevens was indicted today for taking money from a company to remodel his house.
I have two thoughts.
1.) Good riddance.
2.) Who cares?
Most of our members of Congress do worse things than this on their jobs every day. Shouldn’t voting for unconstitutional bills and amendments be an indictable offense in and of itself?
This is [...]

Of course Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Republican. That can mean a lot of different things to different people. He certainly cared enough about distinguishing himself as that that he did not become a Democrat once marrying into the Kennedy family, which would have been understandable in a way.
He’s hard to pin down as the [...]

I was shocked to receive an email today regarding the death of Ron Paul’s campaign chairman, Kent Snyder. I met Snyder when I was in Iowa campaigning in January, and he was a very personable guy from what I could tell in the brief time we crossed paths. I’ve been waiting for the perfect piece [...]

“We must remember, elections are short-term efforts. Revolutions are long-term projects.” — Congressman Ron Paul
Ron Paul has now said he is focused on continuing to further the message of liberty rather than continuing his presidential campaign (although he will continue to contest primaries and collect delegates). Everyone is wondering what’s next– could Ron Paul’s [...]

The UNC School of Journalism reports statistics from a study that examined how the media handles stories related to prescription drugs. From 132 newscasts aired on ABC, NBC, and CBS, the Business & Media Institute found that 80% of the stories excluded the industry perspective altogether, not even asking the company for a statement on [...]
