Wading Through a Series of Unattractive Options

Henke, this monring:

In light of the possibility that a Democrat could win the Presidency in November, giving them control of the White House and both houses of Congress, it’s worth pointing out what Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said

The weather outside is frightful.   Good day to be a duck.

Mitt Romney:   I voted for Mitt.  He would make a good president.   Sad to say, Romney is just one horrible candidate, a modern day Jack Kemp.   Romney has won

The McCain animus apparently transcends ideology. He has admitted his mistakes on immigration, and would not raise taxes, while his ACU ratings are good, and his ADA/ACLU scores are lousy – nearly the exact opposite of those of Obama and

As this election season ramps up, I am finding more and more that I am faced with what I consider to be an impossible choice; I can either chose to support the person whom I will call the presumptive Republican

• Look at it this way, Dale; The Berkeley City Council serves Humanity as a bad example, if nothing else. And FWIW, I’m with you on cutting off their funding by the same token that they’re acting, here. Thing is

As I was growing up, one of the lessons I learned from my folks was that if you don’t lie, you do’t have to worry about who you told what, later. That lesson seems to apply well to John McCain.
