plan: shift tax burden to the middle class The Congressional Budget Office has found that:
Please:
NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOUR SACRIFICE OF TIME AND MONEY The election is 9 weeks away. Give to Kerry-Edwards '04! Big money talks, early money screams. Well, now it's late, my friends--but it's the very beginning of "the home stretch"--the post-Labor Day campaign. Also please give to Operation: Southern Preservation. This is the year and now is the time to give. You can save your pennies in 2005, for goodness' sake. Can't you spare $25, $30 or even $50 right now? If you think not, ask yourself again what's really at stake. It's probably not your next dinner out at a restaurant. But it may be the very future of the republic. Undecided
GOP voters skeptical of Bush From the AP article (emphasis mine):
Kerry-Edwards
gear-up forward-looking campaign to follow negative GOP convention From the AP story:

that matter: the words of Republicans for Kerry The testimonies of Republicans for Kerry: These are testimonials featured in Real People, a new MoveOn.org ad directed by acclaimed film-maker Errol Morris. UK
Conservative Party leader banned from The White House From a memo, reported in the Independent, from Karl Rove to Tony Howard, head of the British Conservative Party, last February: "You can forget about meeting the President full stop. Don't bother coming, you are not meeting him." The article explains the significance:
(What must Dame Thatcher think? And surely Ronnie would not be amused. This is not your father's GOP.) Ex-lawmaker
regrets helping Bush get into guard From the AP:
"Former Texas House Speaker Ben Barnes said he is "more
ashamed at myself than I've ever been" because he helped President
Bush and the sons of other wealthy families get into the Texas National
Guard so they could avoid serving in Vietnam." On
eve of RNC Big Apple mash, Dems rally for better reservists benefits ND-Democrat Rep. Earl Pomeroy, "At a time when we are asking so much of the members of our National Guard and Reserve, we have to take action to increase these benefits provided in return for their courageous service," Pomeroy said. Here! Here! U.S.
deaths in Iraq tops 1,000 A reminder from "Sedge" at DKos: There are 41 U.S. solders listed as killed in Iraq but not identified. Add those to the count of U.S. soldiers in Iraq who have been killed but are officially counted because their identities are known, and the total of U.S. military deaths in Iraq: 1,008. Total wounded in action: 6,568. See chart. RNC
singer: War on gays who "rape and kill our children" From America Blog: the wretched tale of a singer, Donnie McClurkin, who says that when his uncle sexually abused him as a child, the uncle planted "a seed of homosexuality" in him, which proves--or so goes Donnie's logic--that people who are gay are murderers of Americas children. But it gets better. McClurkin puts his sickness into song, and will be serenading the Republican National Convention. Anyone is a fool who takes his subjective personal experiences and recklessly bases universal truths on them...and then dares to apply them to entire populations!--even if the populations are constructs. And anyone is an idiot if he then also eschews evidence contradicting his self-defined "certainties" about others. It appears to have never crossed McClurkin's mind
than for the vast majority of people in America whose sexual tastes
as adults lean toward adults of their own sex, there was no
"seeding" incident, let alone a violent one (!),
nor that an adult's sexual attraction to a child of either
gender is an Altogether Different Thing. |
