Nader and Clintons (REMEMBER 2000)
I like Ralph Nader. He's a good fighter and a passionate advocate for consumers. But he'll always be remembered for taking 5% of the vote in Florida in 2000, depriving Al Gore of liberal votes that could have saved us from these dark ages we call the Bush years.
The War
Most of the posts I make about the war, I’m summarizing a specific development or event. But today I’m going to write more broadly and at greater length. This is my whole take on Iraq.
Like anyone who cares for human rights, I’m glad that Saddam Hussein is gone. But I’m also extremely angry at the cost in terms of life, money, time, effort and credibility.
Cheney challenges 'anti-war' lawmakers
Vice President Cheney crept out of his undisclosed lair today to criticize people who are against the war for attempting to stop it.
Or, as the Mainstream Media puts it, he was merely criticizing "anti-war lawmakers in Congress." But I like my characterization better, because polls show that those anti-war lawmakers in Congress represent the bulk of the American people, who now not only oppose Bush's plan to send more troops to Iraq, but recognize that the war was a mistake in the first place.
But Dick and I don't live in the same reality, I suppose.
