Carol McKy of Middleton was the only self-proclaimed Republican in a room of more than 50 Wednesday evening who passed a motion urging Congress to begin the impeachment process for President George W. Bush.
"I, too, feel that George Bush does not represent me and the Republican Party," McKy said Wednesday at a meeting at Stoughton’s Public Safety Building held by the Madison chapter of Veterans for Peace.
Others predicted that Republicans would (...)

Republicans Begin to Question War In Iraq
29 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
(CBS 5) President Bush spoke to the nation Tuesday night in an attempt to address many concerns about the war in Iraq.
But among those questioning U.S. policy are a number of Republicans.
"I don’t see a direction out of him in terms of where he’s trying to take the country," said Jeff Werolin, 44, a Republican and a real estate agent in Folsom.
Werolin voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004, but says the president’s message on the war has gotten muddy since November 2nd.

North Carolina Dem Senators gut paper ballot bill of voter verified paper ballots
28 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
(Betrayal by some of our Democratic Party elected officials- Read entire text Immediately) The North Carolina Senate Judiciary I committee (almost all democrats) gutted our election reform bill. They have stripped the greatest protection against fraud and inaccuracy: Voter-Verified Paper Ballots. Without the voter being able to verify a paper ballot no meaningful audit or recount can occur. This leaves our elections up to voting machine companies and not up to the voters.
We cannot (...) -
Why did Kerry Concede?
27 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
6 commentsHere is the opinion of one political nobody on why Sen. John F Kerry conceded the election on Nov 2004. I have been told, "get over it" and get lost. The following is why Kerry has made me one pissed off Ohio voter and turned voting into a waste of time.
John Kerry on Nov 3 2004 made this concession statement.
"In America, it is vital that every vote counts, and that every vote be counted. But the outcome should be decided by voters, not a protracted legal process. ...I would not (...) -

As of today, after 25 years, I am no longer a Republican.
I take this step with deep regret, and with a deep sense of betrayal.
I still believe in the vast power of markets to inspire ideas, motivate solutions and eliminate waste. I still believe in international vigilance and a strong defense, because this world will always be home to people who will avidly seek to take or destroy what we have built as a nation. I still believe in the protection of individuals and (...) -
Karl Rove is a liar
25 June 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
In attacking liberals’ reaction to Sept. 11, Bush’s senior advisor once again resorts to McCarthy-style tactics.
Karl Rove is a liar and a scoundrel. He is not a patriot but a pure partisan, as his own record proved long before now.
The other night Rove lied about the liberal reaction to the Sept. 11 attacks and again exploited patriotism for narrow partisan advantage in a time of war. He seeks to divert public opinion from the failures of the Bush administration by suppressing (...) -
The New Fighters of Faith and Reason

9 commentsby Wayne Besen
It often seems like the religious left won’t realize it has a dog in the fight against fanaticism until the right’s pit bulls are lunging at its timid throat. For too long, Christian moderates have been invisible, submissively surrendering and allowing the most destructive elements in America to claim the mantle of God. Fortunately, it appears that people of faith and reason are finally awakening from their long scriptural slumber.
In last week’s New York Times, former (...) -

"The more left-wing the Westerner, the more tolerant he is of right-wing Islamic extremism; the more liberal the Arab, the more likely he is to agree with conservative Westerners about the real source of Middle Eastern pathology."

7 commentsProgressive and Libertarian views on common ground in the Fear Age?
As some of you know, someone close to me is involved in the Libertarian Party. As such is the case, I get to hear quite a bit about them.
While we differ in opinion and belief on many issues with regard to economic justice, environmental policy, or any expansion of government services or regulation, there are a few very critical issues the the LP agrees whole-heartedly with we Progressives on:
1. The need for (...) -
Judiciary GOP pulls the plug on Conyers ’forums’

9 commentsJudiciary GOP pulls the plug on Conyers ’forums’ By Albert Eisele and Jeff Dufour
If the Financial Services Committee is the best in the House when it comes to bipartisan comity, then the Judiciary Committee may well be the worst.
In December, ranking Democrat John Conyers (Mich.) began holding “forums” - gatherings with all the trappings of official hearings - after Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) refused to hold hearings on topics Conyers requested. The forums have been held in (...)
