clipper's remarks: Is this true??
Are the records public record?
Isn't this information the American voter should have?
This is very disturbing.
What psychiatric medications are they talking about.
Are his twitches Tardive dyskinesia or some other Parkinson like side effect of antipsychotics?

The John McCain Campaign is hoping to ride the shallow message of don't vote for Barack Obama because he's young and popular all the way to the White House.

But this inch deep and very shallow campaign is also concealing some huge vulnerabilities of John McCain. Buried in the 1500 pages of medical records released by the McCain Campaign is information that McCain attempted suicide twice, yet his campaign won't release his full mental health records to the public. This is a serious issue that the McCain Campaign hopes to skirt; his full mental health records after years of physical and psychological abuse by his North Vietnamese captors and whether McCain is currently receiving any psychiatric care or medications.

Palin the popular??

clipper's remarks: More bad stuff on Palin... I don't think she's the VP candidate when we vote...

Clip Source: www.bloglines.com

About her strengths and weaknesses: “She is smart, vivacious and energetic; she tends to oversimplify complex issues, has had difficulty delegating authority, and clearly has difficulty distinguishing the line between her public responsibilities and private wishes. She is under legislative investigation on this, the so-called “troopergate” issue, in which she is said to have used improper influence to try to get her sister’s ex-husband fired from the state troopers."

About her approval ratings: “Her approval ratings are high–65 percent, or so–but down from 80 percent earlier in her term. Most Alaskan’s haven’t watched her as closely as most reporters or legislators. If you took a poll of reporters and legislators I expect her approval rating would be down in the teens or twenties."

Technology is the Deciding Factor in Election Campaigns

In politics, supporters traditionally get two "asks" from candidates: one for money, and one for a vote. That's it. That means most of the campaign work is done by a few paid staffers. Not a very participatory democracy.

The Obama campaign has brilliantly taken advantage of this by actually asking people for help. They're letting a large number of people do a small amount of work each.

So if you go to an Obama rally (or just sign up on his Web site), you might be asked to call three voters in a swing state. Or if they know you are a member of Digg (the popular site that lets users vote on articles of interest), Obama's people may ask you to Digg an article that is favorable to Obama or critical of his opponent. Or they might ask you to put a bumper sticker on your MySpace page.

In 2012, all major candidates will be leveraging their supporters more effectively. But for now, Obama's campaign has the technology advantage.

Snap is kind of like Digg on a map. People can tag certain places and then other users can vote that particular attraction up or down.

So if you’re in a new city, you can pull up your current location and find things around you that other people think are interesting.

If there’s a particular user that’s uploaded a bunch of cool stuff, you can subscribe to his or her stuff. Arrows on the map change color the more popular they get. Very cool.

(Historical Moment) for Cynthia McKinney

clipper's remarks: I really dig Cynthia McKinney and the way Obama has screwed up with his run to the right, she'll likely get my vote, win or lose. At least she blieves in the same things I do, especially about getting the military out of the worlds hair.
Her interview oes on:
This is the only party that even has social justice as its core principle. When we say ending the war, we mean all the wars. We need to get all the military out of every country, we need to begin to deal with issues of what peace can look like, how do you sustain that. Obviously, the green party is at the forefront of pushing the environment as a core value, that was innovative then. There should be an end to imprisoning young people, an immediate stop to the death penalty, a livable wage, not a minimum wage. Impeachment for George Bush and them is critical. I think if we don’t hold them accountable as a people, then anybody can do the same shit that they did.

McKinney interview on Grist: ‘Leave the Oil in the Soil’

Clip Source: www.greenpartywatch.org

Cynthia McKinney gave an online interview with Kate Sheppard that appeared on environmental news website Grist.org today.

“Right now we’ve got two energy policies in this country,” McKinney told Grist. “One is war, the other is drilling. And neither one of them works.” It’s a message she hopes will win over voters who have tired of both the Democratic and Republican parties.

McKinney was a Democrat herself for years, representing Georgia’s 4th district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 to 2003, and again from 2005 to 2007. She was the first African-American woman to represent her state on the federal level. During her time in the House, McKinney was active on environmental issues, particularly those related to human health.

JASMINE TEA HOUSE

Great casual take-out

Few San Francisco locals have been to the Bernal Heights district. It is serviced by limited bus lines and located on the southern edge of Mission Valley. The Jasmine Tea House is nestled in this quaint, old-fashioned town. It serves everything from fried chicken wings, General Tsou's chicken and Hunan salmon to delicious teas and drinks. It is a popular place takeout place. And in-restaurant dining is a humble but tasty experience. The ambience isn't anything to write home about. But the reasonable prices and varied menu are impressive. Their vegetarian offerings like Kung Pao and sesame "chicken" are hailed as the best fake poultry in SF. If you're looking for some cheap but yummy food and not a stickler for presentation, check out the Jasmine Teahouse.

Stalin and Tsar Nicholas II neck and neck for title of greatest Russian

He sent millions to their deaths in the gulag, but that has not deterred Russians from voting en masse for Josef Stalin as the face of their nation.

Demonstrators in Moscow celebrate the Bolshevik Revolution’s anniversary

The Soviet tyrant and Second World War leader is battling Tsar Nicholas II for first place in The Name of Russia, a domestic version of the BBC series Great Britons. Stalin had been well ahead in the online vote until the show's producer appealed to members of a popular Russian social networking site to back Nicholas II.

The Tsar edged in front tonight as communists and monarchists whipped up support for their candidates. Stalin has received almost 263,000 votes so far, against more than 267,000 for Nicholas II.

Voters Should Pass a Minimal Civics Test

Voters Should Pass A Minimal Civics Test

I have never been an advocate of the popular notion that "everyone should vote." Some people look at me as if I am somehow un-American when I say that I am not in favor of encouraging people to vote who would otherwise never darken the door of a polling place. I really don't want someone on the streets of Hollywood, who just failed to identify the vice president of the United States on one of Jay Leno's "Jay-Walking" segments, helping to select the person who will lead my government for the next four years.
So here is a basic, common-sense test that every American wishing to exercise the right to vote should answer

1.) Name the three branches of the federal government.
2.) Name the current president and vice president of the United States.
3.) How long have they served?
4.) How long is the president allowed to serve?
5.) How many members are there in the U.S. House of Representatives?

Representative Hastings did not vote on the 10,000 Teachers, 10 Million Minds Science and Math Scholarship Act (H.R. 362). The legislation will require the National Science Foundation to increase its funding of the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program with the goal of increasing the number of math and science teachers by up to 10,000 per year. The Noyce program provides scholarships to math, science, technology, and engineering students who commit to becoming teachers upon graduation. The legislation passed with a vote of 389-22.
