There will be some tight races today; will the Democrats take over or will the Republicans hold them off? Let's hear your predictions on who will win and who will lose.... Interview with Grace Ross: Green Party Candidate for MA Gov Political Grind Political Grind recently had the opportunity to interview Grace Ross, the Green-Rainbow Party candidate for Governor in Massachusetts. All of us at Political Grind thank you for your time and wish you the best on November 7th.... Vote America First on November 7 Political Grind Tuesday, November 7 will present us with a great challenge: to elect candidates who place America first. Voters should head to the polls with one thought in mind: which candidates will place American interests and values ahead of all other considerations? To Debate, or Not Debate: Voters Deserve to Hear Candidates Before Election Political Grind The status of Pennsylvania’s Lieutenant Governor, Catherine Baker Knoll, has emerged as an important issue in the state’s gubernatorial race. Democrat Knoll, who is in her mid-seventies, has served in this post for three and a half years after serving eight years as the state treasurer. Knoll has become known for her occasional mishaps and is now being blasted by her Republican opponent for refusing to debate prior to the November election.......... The Irresponsible Congress Political Grind Winston Churchill proclaimed, the price of greatness is responsibility..... Foley Scandal Shows True Nature of the GOP Political Grind Former Florida Rep. Mark Foley’s perverted instant messages sent to underage pages are disgraceful and disgusting. It is a shame that people who occupy such important offices show such little restraint with regards to their perverted desires. While Foley’s actions are far more disappointing than Bill Clinton’s, it is one more account of people that we trust to represent us--letting us down through sexual indulgence. American Economics for Dummies: A Response to Economics 101 Political Grind Initially I was going to post a good and long comment in response to yesterday’s publicly submitted piece that boasted about the successes of the Bush tax cuts. However, once I had eclipsed a few hundred words in that comment, it became clear to me that a full article was more suitable. Without further ado, here is the real truth about our economy; opposed to the conservative, right-wing, sugar-coated fairytale that you all read about yesterday. Also, I will cite my sources, and better explain the terminology used. Economics 101 - (A Must Read on The State of the United States Economy) Political Grind If you were to listen to the mainstream press from the Northeast, for example, or to the mainstream commentary, or to democrats, you would think that the President's tax cuts were basically a benefit to the wealthy in America at the detriment to those who are not so wealthy. That's the basic theme -- class warfare...... It's Time to Fight Back Political Grind I'm not pushing for a he said, she said type of argument. However, I am going to say that Republicans haven't really offered anything new about fighting terrorism except elevating the terror threat and overt threats about how America will be weakened by a Democratic-controlled Congress. Call the Rovian frames for what they are… LIES!!!!.... Are Democrats Smartening Up to the Hillary Nightmare? Political Grind Is it possible that Hillary Rodham Clinton, the woman who has been running for a third presidential term since her last term expired in January 2001, may be growing weaker in her bid for the Democratic nomination? Borat: Free speech or bad for American foreign relations? Political Grind Borat: Free speech or bad for American foreign relations? What do you think??? Borat: Free speech or bad for American foreign relations? Political Grind Borat: Free speech or bad for American foreign relations? What do you think??? Pelosi Looking to Score some Tough Points on Chavez Political Grind Nancy Pelosi can agree with President Bush on one thing, Hugo Chavez is an idiot. I never ever thought that I would see the day when Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi would stand up for President Bush. The queen of scoring points politically, just ruined Chavez’s plan of gaining political support in America. ....... Political Grind : Open Discussion Political Grind Feel free to talk about anything political that occured in the past week. Clinton, Chavez, Iran, The Pope... It's up to you...... President Bush in a Fantasyland Political Grind One more time I cleared my mind and hoped for substance; for the courage to offer a new direction. In the back of my mind where hope still lives, I thought that the five year mark since 9/11 and the knowledge of things gone awry abroad would finally bring the President into reality. Sadly but not surprisingly, Bush again used the most powerful office in the land to offer nothing but rhetoric.... Immigration Policy Political Grind There is an election in the US shortly that will be partially determined based on immigration policy. There are many views on this subject and politicians on all sides of the issue. Those who want to have an amnesty for all, those that want to deport all illegal immigrants, and those that would like to build two walls across our nation, one on the Mexican border and one on the Canadian border.... President Must Uphold Constitution: Not Alter It Political Grind This past week in the United States Senate, four members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, with the backing of three former chairmen of the Joint-Chiefs, opposed President Bush and his lackeys’ personal pleas to sign off on the legislation that would narrowly define how the United States should be obligated towards Article Three of the Geneva Convention.... Pope Benedict: Please Don't Bow at the Politically Correct Altar! Political Grind I am slightly disappointed in Pope Benedict XVI-not for his recent speech in which he quoted a 14th century Byzantine emperor about the foundations of Islam-but rather for his decision to apologize for the remarks....
