I'm interested in what others have to say about the importance of good progressive judicial nominees who won't insert themselves into Presidential elections, and therefore pick the person who would pick their judicial colleagues.

Oh good grief, I would use so much bandwidth if I got started on Blunt and his son, governor of Missouri. Let's just say what ever comes out of their mouths is a bunch $&*%.

Well, on the same program, Romney first said that claiming McSame would be a third Bush term "isn't going to stick."
Then Rep. Roy Blunt said McSame would be a third Bush term and that was good!
And wasn't McSame's campaign surrogate Carly Fiorina just on Stephanopoulos explaining that McSame wasn't a McBush?

I wonder how much choice we'll have? McSame's chief political strategist, Charles Black, also worked for the defense contractor United Technologies among other companies. Anyway, United Tech just tried a hostile takeover of Diebold, which has already been accused of election fraud in favor of the GOP.
Surely there's nothing to worry about there. I mean, why would it worry us if a defense contractor, United Tech, has a vested interest in the outcome of a presidential election, ties to the GOP candidate and wants to count the votes???

I know he left. But you don't think he still has ties to the people he used to work for? And you won't hear about Diebold and United Tech from any TV pundit.

None of that makes any difference to the fact that United Tech has a vested interest in the outcome of the presidential election, ties to the GOP candidate through Black and through their interest in future defense contracts, and they want to count the votes using proprietary software.

LeslieB 4 minutes ago ====================================== Of COURSE I think he still has ties, for goodness sakes, he is a worm among fodder! One of the main issues that has distressed me most of all is that the media will NOT address the issues of election or reform. There are FAR too many ties between politicians, incumbents, and rising powers!
Actually Polly–Tics, I'm not sure Black left BKSH. He may still be chairman there per the Washington Post. He may still be working for BKSH's clients, such as United Tech, and he may still be getting paid by BKSH.
Talk about a conflict of interest. Brad Blog has more, such as the fact that United Tech [UTC] received over $5 billion in Pentagon contracts for 2005 alone. And UTC, if they buy Diebold, would control at least 30% of the US vote.

Pentagon-gate puts the lie to the myth of the "liberal" media. The MSM was bought and paid for by Pentagon press releases and Pentagon experts pretending to be non-partisan. It's all been one GOP psy-ops for 7+ years.

McCain wanting to continue George Bush's diasterous eight year tenure would be laughable if there weren't people who actually believe in it fall for his flip-flopping blather. We watched this happen and became confident when Kerry was debating Bush. Kerry was always the sure winner but Bush won out in the end. ( with a little help from his friends. ) The Democrats need to take McCain very seriously and everything he or his minions say needs to be addressed immediately and the real truth told. We all know we cannot afford to have another Republican in the White House. Just look at the Supreme Court which has turned into a Corporate-ophilic Cheerleader Team willing to ignore the common man for these giant businesses. It has to stop and a Democratic president will do it.

McCANE could possibly be WORSE than bush.
bush is merely a puppet, and a dangerous one, yet on his own he is afraid to make a move as evidenced in the "My Pet Goat" segment in Fahenheit 911.
McCANE on the other hand is an experienced politician who believes he has earned the right and feels he is knowledgeable enough to be president, and therefore will possibly ignore or override his advisors.
He has a terrible temper and a tremendous ego... a BAD combination. He also has PTSD from Vietnam and could "go off" at the wrong time. Also, since he was in Vietnam, he feels he knows all about war and when to go to war. He would very likely bomb Iran soon after taking office, and if you don't believe that, just watch this: http://rawstory.com/news/2007/McCain_unplugged_...
Hopefully Americans will not take a chance on such a volatile personality, but then again, I think people get a visceral kick out of going to war, and the only reason the general public has such a low opinion of bush is because the Iraq war has gone so badly. If it were under control and we were pumping the oil and gas prices were down, the numbers would be reversed and people would love the little monkey, morals be damned.
