If the above rawstory link to Permanent Repub Party is still dead, here's a link to pt2...they are all interlinked: http://rawstory.com/news/2007/The_permanent_Republican_majority_Daughter_of_1127.html



This is an extensive series and probably a must read to get the full context of the on-going Siegelman saga, Attorney/Gonzogate, politicization ... Read Moreof the DOJ, and Abuse of Power [for starters ;-)] That Obama is suggesting the original judge now hear the appeal seems to suggest Obama is more concerned in shielding Bush et al from yet another crime than he is in establishing any sense of Justice. Remember, there is a serious question of whether there was even a crime committed. If Obama proceeds with this decision, Siegelman may well spend 7 years in prison without having violated any law! That is political prosecution... something the Constitution is supposed to prevent!

Re: "Editor: 'Bush loyalists' may undermine, then 'sabotage' Obama", the conservative NAZIs just do not surprise me anymore. Using scapegoating techniques, accusing the Democrats of being anti-American, and of course, their fine tradition of making up lies in order to undermine progressive changes. Someone please kidna...p Palin and force her to shoot the far-right with her personal hockey-mom rifle. Please?Read More

You can't win a war of ideology with weapons. There aren't enough bullets to kill ideas. We have been remiss with our continued presence in the Middle East. Unfortunately there's too much money to be made from War. But how do you convince those who have fallen for the patriotic indoctrination that our school system establishes so well otherwise?
