Poll: Middle Class Voters Abandoning GOP
The 2006 election is shaping up to be a repeat of 1994. This time, Democrats are favored to sweep Republicans from power in the House after a dozen years of GOP rule.......more

Researchers Crusade against American Fundamentalists
In the United States, atheists are becoming an ostracized minority. But now evolutionary biologists are trying to turn the tables: According to their argument, religion is the source of evil. Morals and selflessness are not God-given - they are the result of evolution.......more

Faith based initiative outreach going bust
Our "prodigal sons" are returning home to the progressive side of the aisle. No judgements. Let us embrace these wayward evangelicals, make sure they intend to vote the progressive way and get them to polls. This is how we win, not by bragging about how right we were.......more

"The Hell with Red/Blue; People Want Out of Iraq and Solutions"
Jim Hightower
The poor GOP I'm actually feeling a twinge of compassion for the Repubs. Poor babies, they're trying to run this year with a Gibraltar of weighty political negatives piled on their backs, including Iraq, Halliburton, Iran, congressional corruption, oil profits, CEO pay, corporate scandals, minimum wage, off-shored jobs, trade scams, rising poverty, Katrina, health care, prescription drugs, Social Security privatization, tax boondoggles, national debt, torture, NSA spying, secret prisons, and "signing statements.".......more
US troops call for Iraq pullout
More than 200 men and women from the United States armed services have joined a protest calling for the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, organisers say. The soldiers said they did not think it was worth their while to be in Iraq and questioned the use of repeated tours of duty. The campaign, called the Appeal for Redress from the War in Iraq, takes advantage of defence department rules allowing active duty troops to express personal opinions to politicians without fear of retaliation.......more

How Democrats Might Blow It
As Democrats go through their biennial rite of premature victory celebrations, they are inviting defeat again by obsessing on polls about how many congressional seats are “in play” rather than on explaining to the American people what a Republican victory on Nov. 7 would mean to the nation......more
Who's airing an enemy propaganda film — CNN or the RNC?
CNN aired a video showing part of a sniper attack, but intentionally didn't show anything graphic or violent. The Republican National Committee, meanwhile, paid considerably to broadcast, on national television, video highlighting terrorists' rhetoric and training footage.......more

American Democracy Threatened By Electronic Voting Machines
DAYTONA BEACH PAPER ENDORSES VOTE-RIGGING WHISTLEBLOWER CLINT CURTIS OVER CONGRESSMAN TOM FEENEY!
Clint Curtis, a former Republican who switched parties to challenge U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney, R-Oviedo, offers voters in the 24th congressional district a real — and better — choice.…Feeney is not really talking issues in this campaign, though, choosing to focus largely on denigrating his opponent. It would appear that Feeney assumes that being Republican is enough.…..more

The Journalist and the Murderers
Anna Politovskaya was not content to report on her government's abuses -- she tried to stop them, and for that she was killed.In the days following the brutal and senseless assassination of Anna Politkovskaya last Saturday, my phone and email were abuzz with the shock and outrage of my former colleagues in the Moscow foreign press corps. Many of them were already busily typing away, collecting theories and interviewing one another about our recollections of the iron lady of Russian journalism. "It could have been any one of us," we told one another......more
