. . . as maverick does
Rolling Stone magazine writer Tim Dickinson takes the cudgel to John McCain carefully (and fraudulently) crafted image as a maverick, straight-talking outsider in Washington. In “Make-Believe Maverick,” Dickinson dug deep and excavated many things the public either does not know about Sen. John McCain, or knows it but venerates the man anyway despite all available…

A call to Change
I don’t know this writer, Marc Ginsberg, but he had this post calling on Sen. Barack Obama to propose something big to tackle our nation’s economic malaise. I could not agree more. My friend, Todd Drew, and I have talked ourselves hoarse over just this topic. I believe now is the time for Obama to…

A step back in time
Prior to the debate in Tennessee, C-Span re-broadcast the Oct. 15, 1992 debate between incumbent President George H. W. Bush, then Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, and crackpot businessman H. Ross Perot.

John McCain’s heroism during the Vietnam War. My contention remains that McCain, at least initially, took valuable training and equipment of the American military for granted. But, because…

McCain, the pot
From the Obama campaign: The current economic crisis demands that we understand John McCain’s attitudes about economic oversight and corporate influence in federal regulation. Nothing illustrates the danger of his approach more clearly than his central role in the savings and loan scandal of the late ’80s and early ’90s. John McCain was accused…

New Yorker magazine: ‘The choice’
In a long article, the New Yorker magazine endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, (D-IL), and made the argument for why Sen. John McCain, (R-AZ), would be the wrong choice to lead the nation at this time: Meanwhile, the nominee, John McCain, played the part of a vaudeville illusionist, asking to be regarded as an apostle of…
