As Bruce Fein says in Wednesday’s Slate, we can’t just take impeachment off the table.
Not when our brilliant commander-in-chief believes that we should have staid in Vietnam and uses that analogy to keep us in Iraq.
The president said US involvements in Vietnam and in other places in Asia was not popular during that time and […]

Some of us have been saying for years that all we’re doing is increasing our chances of being attack by terrorists again by staying in Iraq. Funny, that’s what the whole of the intelligence community thinks too:
Let’s put together the syllogism: Al-Qaida is more inclined to attack the United States because of its affiliation with […]

You know things are getting dirty in presidential politics when the unofficial Sam Brownback Myspace site is asking you to join the “Ron Paul Supporters Suck” group.
Should I join the group. I mean, as far as viability goes, Ron Paul has more money in the bank than John McCain.

I kinda wanted to see it anyway. I don’t know if any of you know this, but I happen to be a Michael Moore fan. For Fahrenheit 9/11, I managed to get my mom to drive us to Austin so we could see it together.

Just look at that picture. I just want to lick her tears. I bet they taste […]

I actually saw a guy driving a black Suburban with a bumper sticker that read:

STOP GLOBALISM
VOTE RON PAUL 2008

For those of you who don’t know, Ron Paul is in my Top 24 Myspace Friends… right next to Transexual Porn Star Saigon Lee. But below Jesus and The Dude. We’ve got to have our priorities straight, […]

Everyone was sure he was. In fact, I think he was sure he was. But the Austin American-Statesman says no. And Gardner Selby would know these things.
So that’s that. Ring is still open (ding, ding Chet).
(Ed. Note: I’m not Texas Nate on MyDD. I’m just Nate, which is why I keep demanding you guys all […]

The group Friends for Peace plans to protest Congressman Chet Edwards (D-Waco) for his vote for the recent supplemental war funding bill. He voted yea on the funding bill without benchmarks or timetables or whatever the new buzzword is.
I think they just don’t like him. I’ve met Chet enough times he’s wooed me and I’ll […]
