Vote Republican in 08' ?

Thats probably the last thing you readers would expect to hear come out of my mouth, and right now, I'm actually thinking about entertaining the idea.

CNN Reports that former Senator, Fred Thompson is considering entering himself for the running of the 2008 Presidency.

On the one side, Thompson is portrayed as an Anti-Washington candidate, which im sure the majority of people would side with. He's got a lot of good ideas under his sleeves, in regards to immigration and re-uniting the American front.

What i am worried about however, is how thing look on the flip side of the coin. Take a look at Thompson's reply to Michael Moore after back and forth criticism in regards to Moore's Sicko documentary.



Now, aside from some good points that Thompson has made in the past, and more importantly, what has been emerging more recently, i worry. Why? Well, Thompson's video reply to Michael Moore's criticism comes off as a little too childish for my tastes. It seems he's more worried about, "rubbing it in" Moore's face rather than dissolving any issues the two have between each other.

What do you all think?

Bush to go Green

No, not Green party. Thank God.

CNN Reports

President Bush is engaging talks to bring the Unites States back into the fold of Environmental Politics. Hoping to be a forerunner on the issue, Bush is planning on bringing "15 nations" together on technological advancements that will hopefully help put an end to Global Warming sometime in the near future.

Some skeptics however, believe it is a ploy to, "divert attention from the president's refusal to accept any emissions reductions proposals at next week's G-8 summit," -Phillipp Clapp

All for One and One for All

OneNewsNow.com featured an article today touting the Clinton's advocacy for a "We're all in it together" approach to economic growth rather than the current "You're on your own" practice.

The world would be a much better place if we all worked together towards a common goal.

Establishing personhood before abortion

OneNewsNow.com reported today that a bill would be presented that would require abortionists to offer a viewsing of the fetus before termination via sonogram.

Whether or not this is a good idea is a tough call. On the one side, seeing your unborn child may talk you out of terminating pregnancy. Alternatively however, being talked out of abortion may not necessarily be a good thing, especially if one is not yet fit or prepared financially, mentally, or emotionally to raise a child.

Troops in need of gear

CNN reported today that troops in Iraq were in desperate need of various gear. Apparently, policies have made it most difficult for requests to be fulfilled.

Enjoy this video outlining what troops are lacking in Iraq.


With the urgency of the materials needed in Iraq, one would think that being back by the government would be enough to expedite the order/delivery process. As it is explained, money is not the issue, what could be?

Compromise Reaches the White House Once Again

In attempts to resolve current conflicts towards execution of the final phases of the war in Iraq, politicians were able to continue what seemst to be a growing trend of compomise in policy making. Read about it on CNN.

What pleases me the most about this particular report is the fact that it outlines how politicians are seemingly realizing that more time needs to be spent focusing on domestic matters, rather than foreign affairs. Not that I'm trying to say foreign affairs arent important. It just seems that for so long now, we as a nation, have been focusing so much on helping everyone else, that we are starting to fail at taking care of, and protecting ourselves.

Somebody once told me, "Despite our efforts to help others, we cannot help them if we do not first help ourselves."

It is admirable and just for the United States to want to help in matters of the world, but more than once in a while, we need to step back, and check up on ourselves so that we may continue to help others, becuase we cant continue to help them if we fall apart.

More Recent News on U.S. White House Attorneys

Aparently, Monica Gooding, one of the current key players in the U.S. attorney firing "scandal" has testified that she had no contact with White House officials amidts allegations that the firings were politically motivated.

After reading the report however, i still find that there are a lot of ambiguitites that have yet to be investigated, or at least i must assume that they are in fact being investigated at the moment.

As i stated last time in my revious post on the firing of the U.S. attorneys, it looks like more hard evidence, perticularly e-mail correspondence between the parties involved will prove that there indeed was some sort of scandal taking place. If you've been a frewuent reader of this blog, you might also remember in a previous post how an insurmountable number of White House emails were, "accidentally" erased. I feel that if the evidence isnt found to solidly prove guilt on some parties, some sort of similar situation will be discovered. In that case, whose to blame? As in tha majority of politics, its unfortunate taht nobody will take the blame.

Fixing Immigration Policy

Temporary worker program under threat. Thats the headline for news outlining recent developments that are currently written to allow up to 600,000 immigrants to gain working visas.

The United States of America is known and the, "Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave," as well as, "The land of opportuity." That is why so many people, particularly our neighbors south of the border want to come here, and rightfully so. Down south, they live in poverty, in shacks made up of scrap metal and scrap linnens, so, why not allow as many as we can accomidate come here to work for a chance at a better life?

The key element in that last statement was "allowing as many as we can accomidate." In a perfect world, the United States could take in anybody and everybody, unfortulately that is not the case. While, revisions are underway, i support the current plans for the documented immigrant worker program, and i hope that more revisons can be made to improve it. I just hope that the changes/revisions are balanced.

Prediction: Gonzalez will resign

Yet another post on the firings of federal prosecutors:

There's jsut so much talk about it these days that i cannot stay away. This time around, Senator Arlen Spector summed it up nicely, "I have a sense when we finish our investigation, we may have a conclusion to the tenure of the attorney general."

Here's an entertaining video that summarizes the events revolving around this issue, and how the current Administration supports its Attorney General.

Wolfowitz to resign

CNN Report

Paul Wolfowitz, President of the World Bank is being called to resign from his post. Facing ethical criticism, Wolfowitz's support on the World Bank board has declined dramatically. Furthermore, due to the U.S's relationship with Wolfowitz and the support that the current Administration provides, the U.S. is finding itself in a tough position, being isolated as a soul supporter of Wolfowitz amidst a potential firing by vote.
