If this doesn’t get you motivated to endorse Hillary on your blog, I don’t know what will.
I gotta admit, this video made me tear up a bit. Have you seen it already?

“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution,” Huckabee told a Michigan audience on Monday. “But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that’s what we need to do — to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view.”
Update: It IS in a real newspaper! Just not in the United States. The UK Guardian has the story.

Why is it that the newspaper quotes politicians or any people without fact checking or making them justify their opinions. If Governor Perry wrote sentences like the following on a paper in my history class, he’d get a 50 for failing to provide any evidence at all for his opinions. But the Austin-American Statesman quotes things he said at a party and acts like he’s making sense.
Perry predicted too that if Democrats prevail next year, the war on terrorism will return to U.S. soil.
No evidence offered.
Then this:
And although Giuliani would keep up the war on terrorism, Perry said, “if we elect the Democrats across the board, the war on terror is not going away. It’s just going to have to happen here. And I want the war, and I want the conflict, to be over there in their country. I want to stop it over there before they get back over here.”
First of all — Mr. Governor Good Hair, which is “their country”? Saudi Arabia (like 15 of the 19 9-11 terrorists)? Iran? Iraq? Syria? Mexico?
Second of all — Dear Editor, why do you print the governor’s comments without some commentary about how outrageous they are?
Finally, who cares about the governor’s opinions about terrorism anyway?

I am not sure when the Texas primary is, but it’s really clear that we have NO CHOICES AT ALL. Look at this!
So far in Texas, it’s John Edwards or nobody
By AMAN BATHEJASo far, Texas primary voters will have two choices for president on March 4: John Edwards and none of the above.
The former senator from North Carolina is the only candidate to have filed as a candidate for president in Texas.
The filing period for next year’s primary began Monday. It ends Jan. 2.
A few more Democrats and Republicans are certain to file for president in the coming days.
More than 30 local incumbents are also up for re-election next year.
Several incumbents, including U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Lewisville, State Sen. Kim Brimer, R-Fort Worth, and state Reps. Paula Pierson, D-Arlington, and Kelly Hancock, R-North Richland Hills, have attracted challengers.
Office Incumbent Who’s filed President George W. Bush (R) cannot run for re-election. John Edwards(D) U.S. Senator John Cornyn(R) Rick Noriega (D); Larry Kilgore (R) U.S. Representative, District 6 Joe Barton(R) Barton U.S. Representative, District 12

Contradictions, Misleading and Outright Lies: Speeches by Sarah Palin

Contradictions, Misleading and Outright Lies: Recent Speeches by Sarah Palin
Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s speeches are excellent examples of the use of propaganda, distortion and dishonesty in support of an ulterior motive. In Palin’s case, she attempts to energize the base of her party by promising things they want to hear, while using absolutely contradictory and often false buzz words that are the currency of conservatives in this country.
This is some of what she said in Hershey, Pennsylvania on Tuesday:
If they don’t put their faith in government, why would they want “all of us” to put our faith in them? This is empty rhetoric which is contradicted by the fact that they are running for the presidency.
