Zogby Poll: Republicans Hold Small Post-Convention Edge

One-on-One Horserace	9-5/6
McCain	48.8%
Obama	45.7%
Others/Not sure	5.5%

In a Zogby Interactive survey conducted last weekend, just after the McCain announcement that Palin would join his ticket, McCain Palin won 47.1% support, while Obama/Biden won 44.6% support.

The interactive survey of 2,312 likely voters nationwide was conducted Sept. 5-6, 2008, and carries a margin of error of +/- 2.1 percentage points.

McCain's favorability rating increased from 50% favorable last week to 57% favorable now, a significant jump that indicates the GOP convention was a success. Among independent voters, 61% now have a favorable impression of him, compared to just 49% who said the same a week ago.

Among the vice presidential candidates, 54% said they now hold a favorable view of Palin, while 42% hold an unfavorable view. While 49% have a favorable opinion of Joe Biden, 47% hold an unfavorable view of him.

Crisis of Capital

The bottom line then is that the crisis of capital has only two outcomes: remove the competitors or, face the end of capitalism and build a socialist alternative. If the former, then general war (whatever its form, ie “endless war”) is the only conclusion, thereby consuming the over-accumulated capital, ‘taking out’ the major competitors and embarking on a new round of capitalist accumulation aka the post-WWII situation, this is after all, the lesson of history.

U.S. Spied on Iraqi Prime Minister

There's news in the new book by Bob Woodward, and it's not going to make life easier for the White House or John McCain's campaign to move in there:

According to the Washington Post's account, scheduled to appear on Page One of the paper's Friday edition, the United States has spied on Prime Minister Nouri Maliki, his staff and others in the government there.

"We know everything he says," the Post account says one of Woodward's sources told him.

Another headline in the book by the Post associate editor -- and one that goes to the heart of McCain's approach to the war: The notable decrease in violence in Iraq is not primarily the result of the steep increase in U.S. forces that began in 2007.

Rather, Woodward reports, "groundbreaking" new covert techniques, beginning in 2007, enabled U.S. military and intelligence officials to locate, target and kill insurgent leaders and key individuals in extremist groups such as al-Qaeda in Iraq....

A Social Network Where You Can Be Too Social

For many, Facebook has become an indispensable tool for managing their social lives. But all the friending, messaging and poking on the online social network has created a hazard: using it too much.

Elizabeth Coe found out after she sent 100 friends and professional acquaintances a link to her company's Web site. She got booted.

Facebook's success also means that it must combat a growing amount of spam, bogus links and hoax messages, some propagated by malicious software that make it look like such messages are coming from friends.

Facebook also reserves the right to shut down accounts if users post fake names, write offensive messages or pull content from Facebook to post on a blog or Web site.

the incident sparked a debate about who owns the content a user creates on a social network.

Her account was reinstated after she sent multiple e-mails to Facebook.

"Being banned for 3 1/2 days felt like a lifetime," she said.

Keep It Simple Stupid; 48 Super Simple, Clean Websites

The web today is cluttered with fancy flash, java, ajax, jquery animations and scripts. Often designers feel that when designing we have to put every new cool trendy script in our sites to make sure the client is simply blown off their feet. Designers really need to stick to the good old fashioned KISS (Keep It Simple STUPID).

I know it’s not the easiest thing to do, especially with the many distractions on the web. This post is all about keeping it simple, these 48 sites all showcase great ways on keeping design to a minimum and by doing this allowing the most important part of the site to be shown… the content. I hope you enjoy this post, it might not be dazzling and breathtaking but, you can get a great sense of what makes these sites work very well.

McCain's Mental Status and Palin's Education

clipper's remarks: Is this true.
Is that why they were so protective of his medical records?

Clip Source: www.ireport.com

I can't imagine a person, who just two months ago did not know what a vice president of the United States of America did; as stated my Sarah Palin.

Video Link

Now, I know that when Mccain was under pressure,he attempted suicide twice and his campaign refused to release the 1500 pages of medical records. Is Mccain still taking psychiatric medication for his post-traumatic stress disorder? Can he relapse under pressure? Will he want to end his life again for the third time? This scares me a bit also! I have some comfort about Mccain's experience but his mental state/condition worries me. Is Senator McCain's mind still in Vietnam? He talks so much about war, I just wonder about him. I respect his fight for our country, but I just hope, if elected, he can leave his past behind, especially his post traumatic issues.

Move On Huffington Post: Lies, Lying and Liars

American Presidential Politics

Entries RSS | Comments RSS

If you go to California and turn left, you will find yourself swimming in an ocean of sharks. Apparently, the same is true of the biggest news sources on the internet today.

Some, like Move On.org, are committed to promoting a hard left agenda and electing Barack Obama. They make no secret of these things. Others, like the Huffington Post, fall into a category of self promotion, not specifically serving the Obama campaign, but very hard and very far to the left.

If you want good, objective, accurate information to help you make decisions about the upcoming election, steer clear of sites like the Huffington Post and Move On - they have nothing helpful to add to the debate.

The Balfour Declaration and the Mandate Under the League of Nations

clipper's remarks: ........The Jewish Connection To The Land......
We consider Palestine as part of Arab Syria, as it has never been separated from it at any time. We are connected with it by national, religious, linguistic, natural, economic, and geographical bonds."[10]

The purpose of post-World War I's League of Nations was to prepare those liberated from the Turks for independence. Once the indigenous populations demonstrated their ability to assume control, the mandates given to the war's victorious superpowers were supposed to be self-terminating. For the international community, justice for the Arabs meant guaranteeing their economic, civil, and religious rights. Awarding the Arabs any form of self-government within Palestine was precluded by British commitments to the Jews under the Balfour Declaration, which had been incorporated in the mandate of the League of Nations.[11]

At this point in history, post-World War I, political pressure caused the international community to endorse the Jewish desire for national self-determination and acc epted that the Jewish people had a justifiable claim to return to their homeland. Significantly, in this recognition, the Balfour Declaration and the Mandate under the League of Nations make no mention of Palestinians as a separate and distinct people with their own national rights. The indigenous people were regarded as residents whose political identity was connected to the larger Arab nation.[9]

For the British, the matter was quite clear: Palestine was not a state but the name of a geographical area. This had been reinforced by the indigenous Arabs themselves.

When the First Congress of Muslim-Christian Associations met in Jerusalem in February 1919 to select Palestinian Arab representatives for the Paris Peace Conference, they adopted the following resolution:

An Update on RNC (Nazi style) Raids

As the DN producer explains, she was present at a meeting of a group called "I-Witness" -- which videotaped police behavior at the 2004 GOP Convention in New York and helped get charges dismissed against hundreds of protesters who were arrested. The police surrounded the St. Paul house where they were meeting even though they had no warrant, told them that anyone who exited the house would be arrested

basically broke into the house, pointed weapons at everyone inside, handcuffed them, searched the house, and then left. Here is a blog post from one of the members of I-Witness asking for help during the time when they were forced to stay inside the house (see the second post -- it reads like a note from a hostage crying out for help). This is truly repugnant, extreme police behavior designed to intimidate protesters, police critics and others, and it ought to infuriate anyone and everyone who cares about basic liberties.

We have seen the next Mussolini and she's wearing a skirt.

Sarah Palin is the face of a post-democracy America, post-constitutional and post-freedom America. She is the home town "little Austrian" vice presidential candidate to a cancer-riddled old man who, chances are high, won't see the end of his first term in office if he becomes president due to illness and old age. The woman who said that we don't need to read people their rights may well be the next president.

mock and belittle your opponents, nibble at the edges of the rule of law, promote violence,

grasp at a weird religion of "destiny" (their version of American exceptionalism) with an "us" against "them" mentality, blame others,

intellectual classes and the media, pit the working people against the perceived elite (Jews in Europe and today's university-educated Democratic Party leaders in America), take power based on grievance and fear and then set aside the constitution altogether based on claimed threats by outsiders.

By contrast, Democrats and independents across gender lines move toward Obama post-Palin. This movement has mostly been larger than McCain's movement among Republican women (independent men: +7 Obama; independent women: +5; Democratic men and women: +8 each). In fact, Obama now leads with white independent women (46% Obama, 39% McCain).

Among women, Obama-Biden now have the advantage in "experience"
