This is not about celebrity, it is about substantive change. Not the “real change” you speak of, but an idea. It is an idea that citizens like you and me that have never held office can make a change in our country for the better. It is the idea that win or lose, the renewed interest in being...

I have been watching the political news this last week with a bit of disbelief. Not that politics have turned this rotten, as I came to political awareness in the Rove Era, but rather that the “Religious Right” has strayed so far from the message of Christ. I write specifically in reference to the...

I know. This blog seems to have turned into the “Make Fun of Palin” site. But really, she’s newsworthy, and the people should see just what an idiot this woman is. Now, having said that, take a look at the contrasting answers given by each VP candidate to Katie Couric this past week...

Watching the Sarah Palin and Katie Couric interviews is like watching John McCain literally shoot himself in the foot. I’ve never seen a Vice Presidential candidate looks THIS bad. Hell, Sarah Palin even makes Dan Quayle look like a literary genius. Even conservatives are calling for Palin to step...

What are YOU doing to change this country? It’s difficult not to get dejected. There have been a lot of political let-downs for this country in the last 8 years, a lot of terror, a lot of pain. Even the Democrats who were, by all accounts, elected in 2006 to get us out of Iraq, have disappointed...

This article was written by Wick Allison, Editor in Chief of D Magazine. THE MORE I LISTEN TO AND READ ABOUT “the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate,” the more I like him. Barack Obama strikes a chord with me like no political figure since Ronald Reagan. To explain why, I need to explain why...

Sarah Palin has picked out an All-American set of names for her children. There’s Track, Trig, Bristol, Willow, and Piper. Find out what your kids names would be had you been Sarah Palin.

Clip from September 17, 2008, NBC news broadcast exposing Palin misinformation campaign.

Nebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel said his party’s vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, lacks foreign policy experience and called it a “stretch” to say she’s qualified to be president. “She doesn’t have any foreign policy credentials,” Hagel said in an interview published Thursday...

Official election day is only 47 days away. But, you may be able to cast your vote in the form of a written absentee ballot as early as next week where you live. Where I live absentee ballots will be accepted starting on September 22nd. Consider voting the absentee ballot for a couple of reasons. ...

Sarah Palin famously said in her Republican convention speech that she told Congress “thanks, but no thanks” for the Bridge to Nowhere. Now, this has been discredited in just about every media outlet in the country. During the Charlie Gibson interview, she didn’t even deny that she...

The McCain ads have proved to be the most dishonest and most untrue ads every to be ran in the history of Presidential Elections. Watch this video.

  One of the striking similarities between George W. Bush and John McCain is their blatant contempt for education and “thinking” in general. It amazes me that the Republican Party wants the US of A to be led by dunces for twelve consecutive years. George graduated from Yale with a “C” average. ...

Turns out not all of Alaska loves Palin, despite what Fox News would tell you otherwise. Over 1400 women came out in Anchorage protest against Palin. Never, have I seen anything like it in my 17 and a half years living in Anchorage. The organizers had someone walk the rally with a counter, and they...

Pamela Anderson has become the latest celebrity to criticise U.S. Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. The former Baywatch actress, who has publicly endorsed Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama, has joined in the attack on Palin. Pammie tells E! News Canada, “I can’t...

The NYT has a great article on Palin’s past. Made the front page of the New York Times. Check it out here. Interviews show that Ms. Palin runs an administration that puts a premium on loyalty and secrecy. The governor and her top officials sometimes use personal e-mail accounts for state business;...

Yes, our possible future leader doesn’t know how to use a computer.

It’ a matter of personal integrity… I’m not naïve.  I know how campaigns work.  I have been working in them since I was 14, and I know how the calculating, the spinning, and the “bending the truth” tactics work.  I’ll admit that I’m fairly good at them, when given the opportunity.  Ironically...

This is how it starts… A bunch of campaign insiders – the media types, spin doctors, pollsters and publicists – are doing an all-nighter, a sea of poll data rolled out in front of them. Sleep-loss turns to silly time and then the whole thing takes off. “Well, Roger, according to this we need...

Keith Olbermann’s video says it all. The Republican party has continually used 9-11 as a propaganda tool to get their ways by scaring the American people.

I’m proud to announce that the Quagblog forum is now up and running. My goal for the forum is to be a political debate/discussion for anything politics related. We’re approaching perhaps one of the most crucial elections in the US history and there are many important topics to be discussed....

From the Tax Policy Center:

New Obama Ad. McCain and Palin are NOT Mavericks. Same of the old.

Via CNN An Alaska judge warned Gov. Sarah Palin’s family against trying to get her then-brother-in-law fired, according to court records. Investigators want to know if Sarah Palin tried to use her position improperly to get her former brother-in-law fired. That warning came long before the controversy...

Direct quote from Meghan:  “Because it’s one of my favorite things about my dad, that he wasn’t running for president since high school, you know, he was not a good student, notoriously rebellious, drove fast cars, dated a stripper, like, I think it’s hilarious.”

In volunteering with one of the field offices in a very highly-contested state, I am personally shocked at how many people don’t see that Sen. Obama is the best thing that has happened to this country in many many years (well, at least 8…). The man has ideas. He has discussions. He has truly intelligent...
