Convention
website: streaming video and live chat! The convention site has a great webcast feature (16 sec. delay). This is great during cable/network commercial breaks! It also features "Off the Podium Chat," which includes interviews with interesting delegates from all over the nation. Here's a screen capture; however, it didn't capture the streaming video, of course, which in the box below appears black. This is unfortunate because delegate-interviewee Elsie Burkhalters had a wonderfully crazy outfit on to express her Democratic pride!
The
great orator.... Bill Clinton's speech at the Dem. Nat'l Convention Monday night was extrodinary in the annals of modern American political oratory. With rank and file Democrats having reclaimed their party (more inspite of than because of the party's leaders and orgs like the DLC), and despite the fact that Clinton's policies as President were themselves born from the muddy waters of the ever-compromising DLC, last night Clinton articulated for the rank and file the soul of the Democratic Party better than any one of those foot soilders could do....And that's one of the many worthy reasons why we love him, and why America needs him!

Report:
Cheney lying about medical malpractice The Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights today said Vice President Dick Cheney is wrong to claim that lower health insurance premiums can be achieved by capping what juries can give to victims of medical malpractice.
But here is
But what about the high cost of medical malpractice insurance that doctors are forced to pay? That's another issue altogether. It seems to me that both doctors and their patients are victims of the a messed-up and distinctly greedy insurance industry. U.S.

But,
Bush
is a lying anti-Christ, a hypocritical deceiver who mocks the Gospel
of Jesus Christ that he suggests he alone or better represents.
It is time to shake
the dust from our sandals at him and move on to a democratic
America for the common citizen, to government dedicated to Micah
6:8 and the
admonitions of Christ. If you're uncomfortable with my biblical language, you're probably missing the point: It's the language Bush himself has co-opted, abused, in order to score political points. And if you fail to understand the implications of this biblical language and its effect on those Gore Vidal calls the "twice-born"--who in earlier generations supported Democratic candidates like William Jennings Bryan, but now support Republicans against the interests of justice and their own equality and economic health--it's time for you to revisit both American history and The Holy Bible, which is not an irrelevancy in American politics. Never in the history of the American Church has a politician played the flock for fools so effectively as has George W. Bush. He professes Christ as a "great philosopher" who "changed my heart," but he refuses to call Him "Savior." Why would he go so far yet fail to go all of the way in his evangelical rhetoric unless he frankly doesn't mean it or doesn't actually understand it fully? He is a clever buffoon who endangers the very Separation of Church and State that protects Christians in this country. Yet, what do a ridiculous percentage of those Christians do, like sheep to the slaughter? They attack that separation, which was born of a conviction to protect Church from State (as well as State from Church). Jesus said, "Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one." (Matthew 5:37). But with Bush, "yes" is "no," and "truth" is what he makes it to be at the moment. |
