Paul Hackett

The decision by Paul Hackett to withdraw from the Ohio senate race after being urged to do so by senior Democratic Party officials is offensive.

These senior officials will not get very far in promoting the Democratic Party by acting like republicans.

Absolutely disgraceful.

Destroying the Constitution in order to save it

After hearing the following idiotic comment in answer to the FISA lawbreaking president, "FISA doesn't overrule Article 2" I am continuously amazed at the willful ignorance of those on the right.

I would ask someone, anyone, to articulate where, exactly, in Article 2 of the constitution that the president is empowered to "protect, preserve and defend the constitution" by disregarding it.

Cindy Sheehan

Cindy Sheehan was arrested in the capitol building last night for breaking the law barring demonstrations inside the building, she was wearing a T-shirt with, '2,245 Dead. How many more?' printed on it. Safia Taleb Al Souhail, on the other hand, an Iraqi woman was applauded by Bush during the SOTU address in 2005 for waving her purple finger, after he had noted the election in Iraq

So we have two demonstrations, a year apart. In one, the demonstrator is applauded for her action while in the other she is arrested. Perhaps the law should be changed to say that only those demonstrations against The Coward who would be king are prohibited for that is the implication.

The Founders, wherever their spirits reside, must be saddened by the events unfolding in their dream that became America.
