Dirk Kempthorne Shoots The Polar Bear In the Foot

For the polar bear to be listed under the Endangered Species Act because of threats created by global warming requires that the United States federal government finally act to stop global climate change to the extent possible and prevent as much sea ice from melting as it can. Dirk Kempthorne doesn’t understand that, and that’s a very important reason why America needs to elect a progressive President in 2008 – a genuine environmentalist as only a progressive can be.

Ron Paul Being Beaten Up By Lazy Fred Thompson

I’m watching the Ron Paul Revolution go down in its tin-foil, John Birch, libertarian highway to the North American Union flames, and I’m loving it! Oh, but never fear – we’ll still have Ron Paul to kick around for a few weeks yet. He and his supporters love to blame everyone but themselves for the lack of support they get from the American public in general. Besides, Ron Paul has lots of money to spend yet… on advertisements about how wonderful he is. Who could turn down such an opportunity for national self-indulgence?

Ron Paul Set To Bomb In Iowa A Second Time

Http://www.irregulartimes.com/peregrinwood.jpg

Yes, Ron Paul convinced people to give him 20 million dollars in the last quarter of 2007. Paul’s followers would have us believe that money equals victory, but in a democracy, dollar bills don’t vote – people do. No amount of money can get sane people to vote for a kook like Ron Paul.

Preacher for McCain and Huckabee Says USA Born in 1607

Progressives believe that the United States was born through the American Revolution and the establishment of the Constitution. Right wingers like John Hagee believe that all it took to create the United States was a prayer and a cross planted in the sand. If you vote for John McCain and Mike Huckabee in 2008, you’re voting for the cross-in-the-sand vision of the birth of America.
