Nader lets it fly with some strong comment towards Barack Obama
Nader on “talking white”:

Failed Policy: Supreme Court Rejects ‘Death’ for Rape of a Child
What do you know!– It was a 5-4 decision. Kind of predictable don’t you think? Nonetheless, the Supreme Court (namely the 5 liberal judges) in all its infamous wisdom decided that Louisiana’s law allowing the death penalty to be imposed against such offenders violates the Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment. Tell that to […]

Obama getting into the ‘race’ game first
Barack Obama has killed the suspense for the general election. He knows exactly how the Republicans are going to run against him. They’re going to run on race and fear. Just because they haven’t yet, and couldn’t possibly hope to do so as well as his party’s primary, doesn’t mean a thing. What’s important is […]

Hagel would consider VP offer from Obama
Should it really surprise anyone? Some gave him the benefit of the doubt during all of his criticism of the GOP and hand-holding with the Dems as being a principled bi-partisan conservative. Well it’s easy to see he is nothing more than a sale out. In the end, even Hagel will prove too conservative for […]

[My favorite part here —–> […]

New InsiderAdvantage Poll has McCain and Obama tied in Georgia
Ok…I have a little trouble posting this because I have stated several times in the last week that Georgia would not be an ‘open’ state.
