Something has nagged me for the last week or so. It has to do with the child health care bill that Bush vetoed. I just got angrier the more I thought about it, yet I couldn't pin point the exact why.Then, I picked it apart. It wasn't one reason, it's many. So, this is my rant...Conservatives hate the plan. Let's examine why.First, they are bitching and whining about the cost. Yet Bush's

This WaPo article is about events BEFORE-9/11. BEFORE-9/11, President George W. Bush spied on Americans. BEFORE-9/11, before the so-called “war on terror,” the Bush Administration contacted communication companies and asked them for information about their customers. BEFORE-9/11, Bush was pushing for warrantless surveillance of Americans!Stram, can't you just hear the gasps, pointing and name

Well, Bush has vetoed the S-CHIP Bill. So, let’s review this. His first Veto was on Stem Cell research, a real winner to be sure, the next two were on Iraq, vetoing plans that had majority support in the nation, and his newest Veto will deny four million children insurance.The State Children's Health Insurance Program is a joint state-federal effort that subsidizes health coverage for 6.6 million

Looking over the past six years one might think Bush & Cheney are an axis of evil all their own. Their "War on Terror" has become "War on the American Constitution." It isn't that the left hasn't been screaming this since the unveiling of the inappropriately named "Patriot Act", it's just that we were screaming at each other while being called names by the right.Now, it seems, a slew of books

Sen. James Webb has offered an amendment to the annual defense bill that would mandate that troops get a home stay as long as their last combat tour of duty before they can be shipped out again.

This is going to be interesting to watch.We all remember the "they stand up and we'll stand down" proclamation by Bush, right? I always thought that a spin sentiment rather than a truism. How can a government stand up while still being occupied and controlled by the military and government of another country?

My husband and I took a little road trip through Jerome and into Sedona. The ride was stunning though littered with "Vote for so and so" signs. It's an election year, so this is to expected. What wasn't was the elimination of one thing. Democrat and Republican.Two years ago each displayed their party affiliation proudly. Now, "Republican" is like a bad word, not to be uttered in public.

The right insists that the left hates the troops. Nothing could be farther from the truth. However, reports such as these are disturbing. More than disturbing. They are, in my humble opinion, actions of hate and fear. A hatred and fear that has been instilled into the hearts of many Americans. How many soldiers honestly believe they are fighting the orchestraters of 9-11? How many of the

Who would have ever thought that one, we would have a President who is a criminal and two, that nobody in the United States seems to care.There are those who choose to apologize and forgive this corrupt, inept and criminally incompetent administration, but then there are those who watch the criminal activity of this administration and just shrug. Why?The Democrats and Republicans better bring

On Wednesday, your Senators will vote on an amendment by Senators Feingold and Reid to begin redeployment of troops out of Iraq by October 1, completing withdrawal and cutting funds for the war by March 21, 2008. Call your Senators today and tell them to support the Feingold-Reid amendment! Next week, the Senate will vote on a new version of the supplemental war funding bill. We don't know the

Jose Padilla has been held in solitary confinement for five years, enduring what experts say is some of the harshest treatment of any convicted criminal in the US. Yet he has not been convicted of a crime.Padilla is an American citizen. He has a wife and a little daughter. He has been tortured to the point of having permanent facial ticks. He is, due to his ill treatment, too traumatized to help

Last week the House of Representatives voted on the McGovern bill, which required a mandatory withdrawal from Iraq by early 2008. It's the strongest bill that's come to the floor of this Congress yet, and your representative, Rep. Renzi, did the wrong thing and voted against it. Most Democrats—including Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Barbara Lee—voted for it. Unfortunately, a few dozen Democrats

Julia Ward Howe wrote the Mother's Day Proclamation in 1870, as a call for peace and disarmament. An excerpt follows:“ From the voice of a devastated Earth a voice goes up withOur own.

In Reno, NV, Sen. John McCain, R-AZ, criticized Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's move to repeal congressional authorization for the Iraq war, saying it's "the worst possible idea that anybody could have" (Associated Press).What does McCain know about the consequences of this action? This isn't the first time this repeal has been brought up because it coinsides with the troops withdrawal bill that

It’s hard to say which is worse news for Republicans: that George W. Bush now has the worst approval rating of an American president in a generation, or that he seems to be dragging every ’08 Republican presidential candidate down with him.The public’s approval of Bush has sunk to 28 percent, an all-time low for this president in our poll, and a point lower than Gallup recorded for his father at

It looks like our impeachment efforts are making a real difference. On CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday, Rep. John Murtha raised the possibility of impeaching the president."We've already compromised," Murtha said. "And we need to make this president understand, Mr. President, the public has spoken.

I find this a bit interesting. Mr. Veto stamp wielding Bush has set his rubber sights on yet another piece of legislation. This one being the hate crime bill. This bill was revised to include sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or disability. Think about this.

October 13, 1993, Bush expressed concern that the humanitarian mission to Somalia that he had launched nearly a year earlier was being "messed up" by the Clinton administration. "If you're going to put somebody else's son or daughter into harm's way, into battle, you've got to know the answer to three questions," Bush told the students. He said the president has to know what the mission is, "how

President Bush has hit a new low -- and I'm not talking about his 28% approval ratings.Today, he ignored the majority of Americans and he defied the majority of Congress. And what's worst, he told our brave men and women in uniform that they will be the ones to pay the price.I've said it before and I'll say it again: a Democratic president wouldn't veto that bill.

Bush's new brilliant idea is building walls around Baghdad, separating the Sunni and Shiite neighborhoods. Once again this administration got it wrong. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Sunday that he has ordered a halt to the construction of a barrier that would separate a Sunni enclave from surrounding Shiite areas in Baghdad, saying there are other ways to protect the neighborhood.

Not a soul out there thinks that I think this administration is semi-sane. Not one would think I believe they have our best interests at heart. Now, I think, is just one more nail in the GOP coffin. Why wouldn't they like the idea of helping their fellow man? Why would the idea of stem cell research be bad? President Bush continues to celebrate the recent passage of Medicare legislation and

First, science confirmed the reality of global warming. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court's reprimand of the Bush administration has cut through the legal impediments for dealing with climate change.Global warming is an environmental challenge to be addressed, not avoided, and the court's decision clears the legal and bureaucratic landscape for deciding how best to proceed.

Elizabeth has announced that you plan to hire a tutor to help home-school your two youngest children, Emma Claire and Jack, in the fall so the family can be together on the campaign trail. Have you realized how many conservative votes you could get if you play up your plans for home schooling? I hadn't thought about that.

The following was in the opinion section of the New York Times this morning. I think this just says it all!President Bush and his advisers have made a lot of ridiculous charges about critics of the war in Iraq: they’re unpatriotic, they want the terrorists to win, they don’t support the troops, to cite just a few. But none of these seem quite as absurd as President Bush’s latest suggestion, that
