Unsolicited advice to Lieberman: Before you critique your opponents you should at least know the facts. “…Joe Lieberman, serving aptly as John McCain's foreign policy attack dog, jumped on a conference call with reporters on Wednesday to rip holes into Barack Obama's stance on Israel. Playing off of Obama's address to the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, the Connecticut independent acknowledged that he hadn't heard the speech.” And, Joe, it would be wise to see to it your own back yard is cleaned up before you criticize someone else. “... there are outstanding factors that could muddle Lieberman's message … most objective metrics indicate that Iran has, in fact, been strengthened by America's involvement in Iraq. The Persian nation … has increasingly meddled in Iraqi affairs … also, McCain, despite tough rhetoric on Iran, has several advisers with deep connections to the country; perhaps the most embarrassing of which is Charlie Black, the campaign's chief strategist. Before leaving his perch as a D.C. lobbyist, Black represented a Chinese oil company that did business with the Iranian government. He and his firm also represented Ahmad Chalabi, the Iraqi exile who helped churn up support for the war in the United States and has subsequently been accused of selling U.S. secrets to Iran.”

Revelations just get “curiouser and curiouser” or is it crazier and crazier? Seems John McCain isn’t the only Repuglican to seek out Rev. Hagee! “Hagee delivered for George W. Bush in his 2000 book, God’s Candidate for America. In that book, Hagee was unequivocal that Jesus would vote for Bush. ‘If you are concerned about the sort of America your children and grandchildren will grow up within,’ Hagee wrote, ‘then you need to cast your vote for George W. Bush and the Republican Party.’” All that’s happened in America in the past 8 years isn’t exactly what I think Jesus would approve of for my children and grandchildren! It's mind boggling how those who claim to know what God wants can get it so wrong! And by the by, is Hagee’s church income tax-free??? How can he get away with telling his parishioners who to vote for and keep his tax exempt status???

It’s an all-out effort to hijack the status quo and maintain the current administration's illegal practices. "If elected president, Senator John McCain would reserve the right to run his own warrantless wiretapping program against Americans, based on the theory that the president's wartime powers trump federal criminal statutes and court oversight, according to a statement released by his campaign Monday.” Just another power hungry Repuglican who would trash the Constitution, John McCain is as reprehensible as George Bush! Don’t fall for the rhetoric McCain’s pedaling about being his own man and being different than “Dubya.” These two were cut from the same cloth, and if given the chance it won’t be long before America could suffer McBush’s diabolical ambitions!!!

In an effort for her candidacy to remain viable in one way or another, Senator Hillary Clinton did make a decision on Tuesday night! She decided not to bow out gracefully, and it does not bode well for unity in the Democratic Party! Memo to HRC: Had you been as magnanimous and as noble as Senator Obama from the very beginning, there very well could have been a different ending to your campaign!!! America is just plain tired of “politics as usual” in Washington, D.C.!

Unfortunately for America, racism still exists in the anonymity of emails, in the dark corners, and definitely in the dregs of our society!

“… are all of these efforts to hasten the end of the world a bit like, well, playing God? ... 'End Times' Religious Groups Want Apocalypse Soon. 'End times' religious groups want apocalypse sooner than later, and they're relying on high tech -- and red heifers -- to hasten its arrival.” Honest to God, what some men will do in the name of God is beyond me, plotting and planning the demise of humanity is not exactly God-like, and it certainly isn’t in the best interests of all mankind! In some psychological circles, this kind of behavior is aka a subconscious suicidal urge, brought about by a glitch in personality structure!

Now that gasoline is over $4.00+ a gallon, and a whole lot of Americans don’t even have enough money to eat, much less put that golden gas in their cars, Jimmy Carter’s solutions to our energy problems don’t seem so far fetched!!! In fact had America listened to him way back when, we wouldn’t find ourselves in the middle of the chaos and confusion we have today!!! Ignoring the advice of wiser men only gives us exactly the fools we have in powerful positions today!
