Russia Delivers First Nuke Fuel

Okay as of yesterday, Russia has delivered the first of the shipments of nuke fuel to Iran to be used for commercial nuke power. OK, now what will the US do? Will Bush use it to ratch up the anti-Iran rhetoric?

Okay, the Bush admin has said the Iran must stop support for Hezbollah and Hamas, But in 2003 Iran offered to do just that but Bush was riding a wave of patriotism and decided to ignore the offer. Now they want to appear to be taking the higher ground. At that time Iran also offered to help against al-Qaeda as well. Again this was not acceptable to the Admin at that time.

The time is now if we are to engage Iran in helping with the region. My question is will the opportunity be missed? Again?

Political Quote Of The week

Thomas Jefferson was a smart man, not one of my favs, but nonetheless a smart man. This quote somehow pertains to just about everything that comes out of the mouths of the Bush faithful.

It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself. Thomas Jefferson,

Is Hillary Inevitable?

A recent poll this week shows Clinton with a 30 pt lead over Obama, nationally. Other polls show her lead not that large, but a sizable lead, indeed. But is she the inevitable nominee? It is a good question, the media has been thumping her as the logical nominee. well all that is changing. Why? Her lead in Iowa is gone. Her lead in NH is not so good. Her lead in SC, also not so good. Obama is coming on strong in these last days of ’07.

She appears to be get desperate. Her campaign in the past has brought up Obama’s ambition, by quoting him in Kindergarten saying he wanting to be pres. That was a bit silly and IMO, ill-advised. But that her lead and her inevitability is slide down the toilet, the campaign is back to negativity. Clinton NH co-manager of the campaign brought up Obama’s drug use. Which he has already said that he was using drugs in his younger days. Since that part is common knowledge, the campaign asked, did he give drugs to other people? Did he sell drugs? This is just f*cking pathetic. Of course, Hillary apologized for the unauthorized use of the negative. This was an upfront gesture on her part, right?

NO! If this is not the message they want to put out there, then why did her national campaign manager bring it up on Hardball? The campaign said that it was not what they wanted, the negativity, but yet they are still trying to interject it into their messages on talk shows.

Clinton and her staff are appearing to be running scared. They are appearing to be desperate. They are losing support and they are terrified with a bout 3 weeks before the first caucus and they could lose it handily. If they do lose, they will be hard pressed to push forward as the natural candidate.

Obama has nothing to lose and the world to gain. If the attacks do not stop Clinton will be back to fighting in the Senate.

Politics And Religion

I read a story this morning that Huckabee was not alone in his ignorance of Mormonism…..that not many outside the religion have any idea what it is all about. This started me thinking….why is this so damn important? Personally, I do do not care if these people stop at a walmart parking and pray to shopping carts. The real question or concern should be how many children will go to bed hungry? How many more vets will kill themselves? How much longer will a war continue? will there ever be a fair health care program? All of these are far more important than what a person does with his/her Sunday morning.

Ask yourself if the person you support will benefit you and your family. Do not base your decision on what he/she believes religiously.

Another thing in these political ads–shown with wife and kids–okay i get it his dick works. But I do not care if his dick works–that has little to nothing to do with his capability to lead the country.

Please make your decision rationally and logically, but leave the horseshit on the road where it belongs.

A New Idea For Future Debates

I have watched and watched and …….the debate process over the last year and I see a reall disservice to the American people. The media controlled debates are a joke. even the ones hosted by PBS. This trend has got to stop. The media is looking for ratings not knowledge. they want the cat fights and the insults and attacks and….

I have an idea! Why not have the debates, even in the primaries close together…say there is a GOP debate on Jan 1 then have the Dem debate on Jan 2……ask the same questions of the Dems as the repubs. Then the people that would be watching could compare the different candidates and their stands and then they would have a solid base from which to make an accurate choice of which candidates best represents the stands and policies that they are drawn to.

The process now, seldom are the different party candidates asked the same questions, so if you are a Repub you get only questions that plays to the base and same with Dems. How would the voter know that they are TRULY voting for the person that has a good chance of fixing the country?

The media is a prime suspect in the destructive partisanship of the voter. They need this to keep ratings up and to keep their cutesy jobs.

Please, demand change……you are living in a world that does not need partisanship…it needs a REAl leader…..how do you know you are getting that now?

Last Democratic Debate

This is a synopsis of the last debate of the year. we can only smile at the end of this process for the year. A great Xmas gift.

Finally! The last debate of the year….may I have an amen! The last dem debate was a well done one with all candidates giving ample time and really nothing new. A few zingers, but most stayed on message. The only loser was Dennis Kucinich because he was not allowed to participate. That was the only low point, since the whack job Keyes was allowed to participate on the Repub side, but that is another story…..I am sure. Everyone was polite and civil, no attacks, direct attacks.

If you would like to see my full analysis, you may go to my blog the Oracle of inkwell, a link here will take one to the site.

Democrats Fall Apart

The Democrats are not consistent they , like all politicians, will fly with changing winds. this is where the party starts to fall apart. For instance, the waterboarding thing, Rep. Jane Harmen has files a letter of protest over the use of this tactic. That is all well and good, but she is a supporter of HR 1955, which simple put, would be the thought police.

People have to know this stuff or you will keep making the same mistakes in the elections you have been making for decades. This a/holes will say and do whatever gets them positive press. And the media does not report on the happenings in Washington accurately. They would rather spend their time in search of ratings by report on some missing wife or a shooter at a mall. All the while crap like HR 1955 sneaks in under the radar until it is too late to do anything but bitch.

When will the American people realize just how useless they are to these people? They pretend to care every 4 years or so just to get the vote by massaging the genitals with bullsh*t.

Wake up America!

The Last GOP Debate In Iowa

If one wants a complete breakdown of who the candidates did then go to The Oracle Of Inkweel link on this page and read the entire analysis of the latest debate.

This is a short synopsis.

You want to know who won? look at the polls….Huck leading…Mitt second and Rudy third. Why? Only because it was a snooze of a debate and the candidates will remain as they were before the debate. I personally think that Paul was by far the best debater on the stage.
