McCain - Obama Debate Talking Points for the Progressive Activist Voters
Point 1 Although this presidential debate is about foreign policy and national security, we cannot avoid mention of the financial meltdown on Wall Street.
Point 2: Sen. McCain will claim, with some facts to his credit, that his advocacy of the surge in Iraq has paid off.
Point 3: The solution is to withdraw our ground troops as promised, perhaps starting with an immediate redeployment from Iraq's cities.
Point 4: We should not leap from the simmering quagmire in Iraq to the hot ones of Afghanistan and Pakistan without a clear plan for peace.
Point 5: Every civilian casualty, every destroyed village, gives birth to new al-Qaeda recruits.
Point 6: John McCain has offered no diplomatic, political or economic approaches to managing, not to mention lessening, these multiple crises.
Point 7: Even the greatest power on earth cannot sustain more devastating experiences like the past five years in Iraq and the cascading catastrophe on Wall Street. Point 1 Although this presidential debate is about foreign policy and national security, we cannot avoid mention of the financial melt... more -

Dennis Kucinish Introduces Bush Impeachment Resolution
Mon Jun 9, 8:17 PM ET
WASHINGTON - Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a former Democratic presidential contender, said Monday he wants the House to consider a resolution to impeach President Bush.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi consistently has said impeachment was "off the table."
Kucinich, D-Ohio, read his proposed impeachment language in a floor speech. He contended Bush deceived the nation and violated his oath of office in leading the country into the Iraq war.
Kucinich introduced a resolution last year to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. That resolution was killed, but only after Republicans initially voted in favor of taking up the measure to force a debate.
Kucinich won 50 percent of the vote in a five-way House Democratic primary in March, beating back critics who said he ignored business at home to travel the country in his quest to be president.

McCain Glad For Hagee Endorcement
Hagee on Hurricane Katrina "All hurricanes are acts of God because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God and they were recipients of the judgment of God for that." [NPR Fresh Air, 9/18/06]
Hagee on Islamic Beliefs
Fresh Air host Terry Gross asked if Hagee believed that "all Muslims have a mandate to kill Christians and Jews," to which Hagee replied, "Well, the Quran teaches that. Yes, it teaches that very clearly." [NPR Fresh Air, 9/18/06]
Hagee on African-Americans
The San Antonio Express-News reported that Hagee was going to "meet with black religious leaders privately at an unspecified future date to discuss comments he made in his newsletter about a 'slave sale,' an East Side minister said Wednesday." The Express-News reported:
"Hagee, pastor of the 16,000-member Cornerstone Church, last week had announced a 'slave sale' to raise funds for high school seniors in his church bulletin, 'The Cluster.'
"The item was introduced with the sentence 'Slavery in America is returning to Cornerstone" and ended with "Make plans to come and go home with a slave." [San Antonio Express-News 3/7/96]
Hagee on Catholicism
"Most readers will be shocked by the clear record of history linking Adolf Hitler and the Roman Catholic Church in a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews." [Jerusalem Countdown by John Hagee]
Hagee on Women
"Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick. Do you know the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with a terrorist." [God's Profits: Faith, Fraud and the Republican Crusade for Values Voters, Sarah Posner]
"[T]he feminist movement today is throwing off authority in rebellion against God's pattern for the family." ["Bible Positions on Political Issues," John Hagee]
Hagee on LGBT Americans
"The newspaper carried the story in our local area that was not carried nationally that there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came. And the promise of that parade was that it was going to reach a level of sexuality never demonstrated before in any of the other Gay Pride parades. So I believe that the judgment of God is a very real thing. I know that there are people who demur from that, but I believe that the Bible teaches that when you violate the law of God, that God brings punishment sometimes before the day of judgment." [NPR Fresh Air, 9/18/06]
Hagee on Iran
"The coming nuclear showdown with Iran is a certainty," Hagee wrote [in 2006] in the Pentecostal magazine Charisma. "Israel and America must confront Iran's nuclear ability and willingness to destroy Israel with nuclear weapons. For Israel to wait is to risk committing national suicide." [The Nation, 8/8/2006]

Stealing Election 2008!
"The 2000, 2002, and 2004 elections were clearly stolen by the Republicans, led by Karl Rove and his Nazi operatives. John Kerry showed himself to be a ringer; his cowardly refusal to contest the 2004 election proved beyond doubt that he was a shill for the demonic cabal, pretending to be a genuine Democratic candidate.
The fact that the votes of the American people in 2006 were allowed to be counted somewhat fairly does not change the fact of the previous rigging of elections by the Republicans. Contrary to Democratic leaders and self-appointed "progressive" pundits, we must continue to work for election reform.
Some otherwise intelligent progressives feel--for all the wrong reasons--that contesting elections is unsporting or is the sign of a mean-spirited conspiracy-nut mentality. Ernest Partridge, Co-Editor of the Crisis Papers, quite aptly calls these people "gulliberals." The list includes Al Franken, Paul Begalla, Arianna Huffington, David Corn, Bernie Sanders, and some writers for Salon.com and Mother Jones. How much evidence of criminal behavior do these so-called liberals require before they realize that stealing elections is the same kind of Bush junta behavior as lying about weapons of mass destruction, domestic spying, and rampant criminal behavior in all arenas.
The fact that the cabal has pushed computerized voting to the extent they have--making federal money available, meeting in secret in 2004 to plan a propaganda blitz, involving all the conspirators in the criminal action--this made it clear that they saw computerized voting as the way to steal any election they choose to.
One of a series of studies indicating that current touch-screen technology is seriously flawed is a published study that documents a host of security flaws in a leading touch-screen voting system. This report has caused election officials across the United States to question the use of electronic voting machines. The report comes from a team of computer experts from Johns Hopkins and Rice University who examined the “source code,” the software that runs the Diebold AccuVote-TS voting system used in 37 states."

Documents show Pentagon now using FBI to spy on AmericansAssociated Press
Published: Wednesday April 2, 2008
ACLU obtains documents after suit over National Security Letters
The military is using the FBI to skirt legal restrictions on domestic surveillance to obtain private records of Americans' Internet service providers, financial institutions and telephone companies, according to Pentagon documents.
"Newly unredacted documents released today reveal that the Department of Defense is using the FBI to circumvent legal limits on its own NSL power," said the ACLU, whose lawsuit was filed in Manhattan federal court.
ACLU lawyer Melissa Goodman said the documents the civil rights group studied "make us incredibly concerned." She said it would be understandable if the military relied on help from the FBI on joint investigations, but not when the FBI was not involved in a probe.
The FBI referred requests for comment Tuesday to the Defense Department. A department spokesman, Air Force Lt. Col. Patrick Ryder, said in an e-mail that the department had made "focused, limited and judicious" use of the letters since Congress extended the capability to investigatory entities other than the FBI in 2001.
Goodman, a staff attorney with the ACLU National Security Project, said the military is allowed to demand financial and credit records in certain instances but does not have the authority to get e-mail and phone records or lists of Web sites that people have visited. That is the kind of information that the FBI can get by using a national security letter, she said.
"That's why we're particularly concerned. The DoD may be accessing the kinds of records they are not allowed to get," she said.
Goodman also noted that legal limits are placed on the Defense Department "because the military doing domestic investigations tends to make us leery."
In other allegations, the ACLU said:
_ The Navy's use of the letters to demand domestic records has increased significantly since the Sept. 11 attacks.
_ The military wrongly claimed its use of the letters was limited to investigating only Defense Department employees.
_ The Defense Department has not kept track of how many national security letters the military issues or what information it obtained through the orders.
_ The military provided misleading information to Congress and silenced letter recipients from speaking out about the records requests.
Goodman said Congress should provide stricter guidelines and meaningful oversight of how the military and FBI make national security letter requests.
"Any government agency's ability to demand these kinds of personal, financial or Internet records in the United States is an intrusive surveillance power," she said.

Bill Endorsed the Kazakhstan Dictator, Won Giustra a $3.1 BILLION Deal; So Giustra...
Unlike more established competitors, Mr. Giustra was a newcomer to uranium mining in Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic. But what his fledgling company lacked in experience, it made up for in connections. Accompanying Mr. Giustra on his luxuriously appointed MD-87 jet that day was a former president of the United States, Bill Clinton.
Upon landing on the first stop of a three-country philanthropic tour, the two men were whisked off to share a sumptuous midnight banquet with Kazakhstan’s president, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev, whose 19-year stranglehold on the country has all but quashed political dissent.
Mr. Nazarbayev walked away from the table with a propaganda coup, after Mr. Clinton expressed enthusiastic support for the Kazakh leader’s bid to head an international organization that monitors elections and supports democracy. Mr. Clinton’s public declaration undercut both American foreign policy and sharp criticism of Kazakhstan’s poor human rights record by, among others, Mr. Clinton’s wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.
