The party have vigorously protested about choice of the name for the campaign: „Invasion”.Read more…Won't Medicare Pay for Our Long Term Care

When the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1718 on October 14, it agreed to impose economic sanctions against North Korea for testing a nuclear device earlier in the month. The resolution condemned the atomic test, demanded that the DPRK conduct no further tests or ballistic missile launches, and called upon all United Nations member states to stop the trade of various weapons systems, luxury goods, and certain technologies with North Korea.Of course, the communist dictatorship of Kim Jong-Il immediately rejected the resolution and threatened war on nations imposing economic sanctions on the DPRK.Read more…Hillary, Republicans And Oprah Oh My
It may look bleak for Republicans in the 2006 election, but the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency in 2008 will once again motivate Republican voters to get out the vote. Many will call it the most important election of our time and with good reason. It will be the first time in American history that a woman has a legitimate chance to become President of the United States.Read more…The US Policy After G.W. Bush's Re-election
The presidential elections in the USA of 2004 played a great role in the further development of the country and of the whole world. As we know George W. Bush has won this presidential elections but the opinions about such results of the elections differ.Read more…Political Science
Political conflicts and war is a dangerous and tremendous evil which pressures mankind through all periods of history. If we look back we could see that there has not been any century or a decade free of wars and armed conflicts. It is known fact that the lessons from the past have been taken into account by many political leaders to understand the relationships between cause and effect of ideology, in spite this lessons the USA is “still locked in conflicts around the world even though the Cold war is over.Read more…Countdown Three Weeks

I’ve been told I can no longer write about the coup for various magazines in Thailand. As frustrating as this is, I understand the position editors are in. I don’t want to talk excessively about the coup and the Constitution, but there are still some elements of it that I want to explore.Read more…Political Correctness, Argument and the New Orthodoxy
In an old Monty Python sketch, a character (played by Michael Palin, I believe) says something along the lines of,”an argument is a connected series of statements intending to establish a proposition not the automatic gainsaying of what the other person says”. On several discussion threads that I have participated in recently, I have noticed a tendency to automatically gainsay the proposition without examining the argument or the assumptions. Instead of showing that the assumptions are invalid or the logic of the argument is unsound, people prefer attack the motives of the writer or even defame his or her character.Read more…Consequences of a Democratic Victory
As the mid-term election cycle comes full circle, it seems as though everyone in the country has all but conceded that the Democratic Party will win the House of Representatives, and possibly the Senate. Of course, in light of recent news stories about our elected officials in Washington, this is hardly surprising.Whether it's the continuing difficulties in Iraq, the George Allen racial slur, the Mark Foley email sex scandal, the investigation of Curt Weldon, or the guilty plea of Bob Ney, it seems that the GOP is doing everything it can to ensure that it becomes the minority party in the Congress after the November elections.Read more…Credibility Is A Terrible Thing to Waste
In a 1998 article entitled, “Winning at Change,” Harvard Business School Professor Leadership, John P. Kotter, identified management errors that explain most cases of organizational failure when it comes to corporate transformations. These errors are not limited to the corporate world.Read more…Freedom Destroyed in America
I never would have believed that my ten-year volunteer program, BE A WINNER IN LIFE, presented to incarcerated kids, in Juvenile Hall in San Diego, could be suspended because I used the word “GOD” in my book and presentation. The reason given for the suspension was they must enforce “separation of church and state”.How foolish to think our religious beliefs, or any of our freedoms are protected, because we live in America.Read more…Obfuscation At Its Best
The Republican party along with the help of the media is spinning Mark Foley’s sexual activity with a minor into a political issue.The responsible thing for the Republicans to do is to provide information on Foley for his admitted sexual behavior with a minor and allow the police to conduct an investigation to ensure the young men and women who have been abused are given justice and those who are continuing to serve in the congressional page program are protected.Instead the Republicans and media have convoluted the issue to the degree that one could think it is a political issue rather than a capital crime.Read more…Raise Taxes, Soak the Rich!

America's long time friends and allies in Europe, Asia, and Latin America are getting angry and becoming increasingly suspicious of the United States. We have misused our power, taken intelligence to advance our political agendas, sought to overthrow governments, and attempted to legitimize our global maneuvers with lies and propaganda.Our style of nation building has alienated the world.Read more…Iraq: Where Do We Go From Here?
Now that the midterm elections are finally over, debate is really heating up in Congress over what steps should be taken next in Iraq.

The latest television campaign ad in the Virginia Senate race features two of the primary election approaches engineered by Democratic strategists for this November's mid-term contest: attacking the President's judgment and competence and appealing to the patriotism and dedication to service of current and former military members. These two campaign tactics, along with a third, newer strategy that just emerged in recent weeks, form the core of Howard Dean's plan for winning back the House and Senate after twelve years of Republican control.The first part of the campaign strategy centers on attacking the Republican candidate, Senator George Allen, by framing him as "guilty through association" for his support of the President and his policies. - American Government's Chief Cornerstone and Indissoluble Bond - By: Paul Davis
