<title>John McCain Plays The Fear Card</title>

<description><![CDATA[The irony of McCain playing the fear card: he’s the scary one

June 26, 2008

The Republican campaign message is nothing if not blunt: vote for us or die. None of that prissy Ivy League subtlety and nuance for these guys, boy howdy: nope, just good old-fashioned American scaremongering.

Somewhere Joe McCarthy is smiling.
 
Let’s touch on just a few recent examples:

Democrats to back down on Iraq war conditions 

By Richard CowanMon Jun 16, 4:43 PM ET 

Democrats in the Congress, who came to power last year on a call to end the combat in Iraq, will soon give President George W. Bush the last war-funding bill of his presidency without any of the conditions they sought for withdrawing U.S. troops, congressional aides said on Monday. 
Lawmakers are arranging to send Bush $165 billion in new money for the wars in Iraq and Afghani]]></description>

Kerry Questions McCain’s Grasp of Facts on Iraq

May 30th, 2008

Earlier today on a Obama campaign conference call with reporters Senator John Kerry questioned ”Republican presumptive nominee John McCain’s judgment and grasp of the facts about what’s going on Iraq.”

Yesterday, McCain said that U.S. forces in Iraq have “drawn down to pre-surge levels.” Kerry, citing figures that show the opposite, skewered his friend, fellow Vietnam War veteran and someone who had ]]></description>

By James Howard Kunstler
Sunday, May 25, 2008; Page B03 

Everywhere I go these days, talking about the global energy predicament on the college lecture circuit or at environmental conferences, I hear an increasingly shrill cry for &#34;solutions.&#34; This is just another symptom of the delusional thinking that now grips the nation, especially among the educated and well-intentioned.

<description><![CDATA[In response, the administration has gone on a desperate PR blitz to label renewed violence in Iraq as “byproduct of the success of the surge.” “It’s “what critics have wanted to see,” said White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, calling it a struggle led by Iraqi security forces. 
 
Today — as rockets rain down on the Green Zone and two American soldiers died — Bush cast the activity as a “very positive moment” in an interview with the Times of U.K.

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore
April 21st, 2008
Friends,
I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.
So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?
