By now we have all heard about Obama supporting the FISA renewal. He has really gone against the beliefs of his party, and I believe himself as well.

This really seems like a politics as usual move. I know campaigns can be crazy but I certainly hope that Obama sees how he is straying. The Republicans are going to beat on him as weak on terror no matter how he votes. I only hope he realizes this and goes with his "gut" because I believe that will lead him to vote against this bill.

After all, this bill is only going to give the Bush Administration permission to walk all over the Constitution. They have done that, are doing that, and will continue to do that regardless. The other disgusting attribute of this bill is what is effectively a blanket Presidential Pardon, delivered via the Congress, to protect the telecom giants from being held accountable for their own lack of ethics.

I spent some time thinking about this so I thought it would be an interesting article. Also, if I end up being right I want it documented for bragging rights.... So here it is. The next Executive Branch that will fix the country.

President Barrack Obama. I'm not going to explain this here because it's not necessary for this article.

Vice President Jim Webb. I think this guy has the rocks to be a firm Vice President / President of the Senate. Also, it is hard for Obama to pick a better representative of the Veteran and Military demographic. This man has a son who has served in Iraq and may still be there. Being a veteran himself, he carried his son's "seasoned" combat boots with him on the campaign trail. He has given the Democratic response to the State of the Union address and is a complete package and, in my opinion, ideal for Obama as a running mate.

I've watched Senator Clinton execute an endless parade of political stunts. In fact, in my opinion, she has lead one of the most conceited campaigns that I have seen, and amazingly she doesn't even have Carl Rove working for her. She has changed positions on issues so many times that the organizations that keep track of this stuff have probably had to assign a team dedicated to updating her positions 24/7...

I cannot believe it! I am still being asked about this whole thing with Senator Obama "not covering his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance and/or the National Anthem." I was happy to discover this video to make it easy for everyone to spread some truth instead of a manufactured story...

Many apathetic and disaffected people ask me about my drive, dedication and determination to change those politics that are not right. They're going to do what they want regardless of what we say... How are you going to change these things... Washington is corrupt... These problems are too big

These are all things I hear. What our forefathers must be thinking. To see our own countrymen surrendering without having even fought. How can we take our country and hand it over to these corporations? Have we forgot what it is to be American? How did we get to this point were we handed it all over without any questions or accountability?

I was working on a research paper. My topic was how 9/11 and the War on Terror looks from the other side. I needed a few examples to tell the story and make my point. I ended up finding so much that I had to narrow my topic and now I am looking at writing a book.

So what am I talking about? Well, how the United States is just as much of a terrorist state as any other.

The Western world has actively intruded in to Muslim nations, most specifically the Middle Eastern nations. The motives have rarely been to spread religion, as in the Christian Crusades, or to bring democracy to a nation, as the United States has proclaimed numerous times. Charles Lewis from the Center for Public Integrity explains our foreign policy...

Tonight I heard something that got me a little choked up. While I enjoy his show I have never been as moved as I was tonight when Keith Olberman presented 12 heart felt minutes of true statements toward Bush. I had to post this. If only I could see him and Bush face to face for this...

So this evening on NBC Nightly News they were discussing a movement taking place across the country. Apparently some individuals believe that the answer to all these school shootings is to have students carrying concealed firearms. If it wasn't for the peacock in the background, reminding me I was on NBC, I would have thought I was watching some kind of fictional short story.

Yes we've been having school shootings, but let's look at what else we have that is on every campus.

1. Immature people with little or no life experience
2. Hormone driven young people
3. Young people that enjoy drinking and in some instances, drug use
4. Thousands of students, most of whom dress relatively similar to each other

Now think about handing them all a bunch of guns. We can expect people getting scared at night and shooting someone who IS NOT trying to hurt them but happens to be in the same place...

The answer is no. Now the explanation.

We have heard a lot of big stern talk toward China in this election already. We have all kinds of ideas for flexing our diplomatic muscle. This really makes me shake my head. We've made more mistakes than we can count, in regards to China. We are just now starting to really build relations with them. We are coming out of an era were we told our military that China is going to attack us, and China told their military that we are going to attack them.

Let's cut the crap! Militarily we would devastate each other to the point that no one could really declare victory. So lets agree that there is no benefit in us getting in to a war with each other. Let us not forget that they hold the title to our land, thanks to the Bush administration. Now lets lay the sticks on the floor and put our carrots on the table and start off with a good hand shake. Now lets drop our egos and use our heads.

I'm more use to hearing about shady, underhanded tactics in reference to Republicans. Now we still wait on the edge of our seats to see which of our candidates wins the popular vote. Then we will stay on the edge of our seats to see whether the Super Delegates go with that candidate or choose to over ride the voters, effectively driving a wedge in to the center of our party.

I don't care who wins the popular vote but I believe that candidate should receive the nomination. I am an Obama supporter but I will even stand by my opinion should Clinton win. We are not just deciding the future of our party.

This election is so electrified that it is bringing in more youth and is compelling former voters and new voters to get out and vote. If we screw this up we could damage voter participation for a long time to come. Lest we forget how we felt when the Presidency was yanked out from underneath us all in 2000. We returned because we all believe, in our hearts, that we have to be involved for the health of our Democracy. These voters have either bad experiences or no experience at all. Whether they see this election as just and fair will impact their decision to vote in the future.

All I ask is, think about the well being of the party, the well being of our elections and most of all the well being of this Country.
