The joking exchange on the Electoral College threat got me thinking about how much the average voter knows. Everyone who responded to that thread understands what the electoral college is, but there are many voters who don't. I also listened to something on the radio recently quoting random people...

I've heard several times on the news for the past few weeks that many Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama if he becomes candidate. If the news reports are to be believed, it is a fairly widespread phenomenon. That would seem to fracture the Democratic vote and ensure that McCain will get elected...

I was hoping that someone else would bring this up, but McCain recently met with a racist group bent on conquering portions of the US for Mexico. Now, I wasn't going to vote for McCain before. But even if I had been leaning that direction, his meeting with the enemies of the US would preclude me ever votin...

A subject that comes up each election is the Electoral College. Some people are for abolishing it, prefering a direct vote for president. I happen to support the idea; one thing it accomplishes, for instance, is preventing the major population centers on the East and West coasts from determining th...

Who are you planning to vote for at this point? Clinton and Obama are still fighting like alley cats, but both of them are bad choices. Then you have McCain who is meeting with enemies of the US and spending very little time with conservatives. I'm probably going to write in Ron Paul, although I might vot...

I got my mail-in ballot today. Idaho's primary is in late May. I had a strange experience I must say. I looked at the Democratic side and saw Obama vs. Clinton. I thought for a moment of joining Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos", and an evil grin crossed my face. Then I thought that was a c...

I wasn't sure where to put this, so if arbi thinks it should be moved, move it on. Mitt Romney did a "Letterman" type of countdown of why he quit the race. He gave this at some political dinner in DC. Too funny! 10. There weren't as many Osmonds as I thought. 9. I got tired of corkscrew landings...

A school is planning to start handing out prescriptions for birth control pills to 11 year old girls. Now I think that this is wicked and wrong, but I thought it would be interesting to discuss a few questions. First, should schools be handing out contraceptives to kids of any age? One of the issues rais...

I started wondering about which parties presidential candidates where affiliated with, so I came up with this list. In each case I've listed the first (or only) president elected from that party. Independent (George Washington) Federalist (John Adams) Democratic-Republican (Thomas Jefferso...

In Colorado there is probably going to be a measure on the ballot that would, if passed, declare somebody to be a person at the moment of conception. I'm of two minds about this. It sounds like a very effective way of overcoming the Roe V. Wade travesty, but the Church has said that it's alright in very lim...

I've been listening to a lot of Obama's stuff lately, and it's starting to make sense. You know, he has a lot of great ideas for the country. And it's been a while since we had a truly charismatic leader. I think that it's about time. Of course, I'm just kidding. Look at the date if you're wondering why (or r...

Senator Clinton lied about being shot at by snipers in Bosnia. Now she says that she just misspoke. But she made the statement twice - once in a speech, afterwards again to reporters when questioned about that statement, and a transcript was available on her website. Now that she's caught in the lie sh...

Sign Me Up for World Government Sunday, 23 March 2008 Written by Christopher S.

I heard something on the radio yesterday that bothered me deeply. The chairman of the Colorado Young Republicans said that he hoped that those who came to the Republican party to vote for Ron Paul would stay in the Republican party, because, according to him, loyalty to a party is more important than l...

Interesting to note, that Mr. Obama says that he "disagrees" with some of his pastor's beliefs. Check this out. I saw this last night on O'Reilly. Something that no one seems to mention is that Mrs. Obama recently said that she is only now proud of her country. She wasn't proud of Americ...

I am a small-scale conspiracy theorist. I still have enough faith that there are enough good people up top that nothing really, really horrible is orchestrated under our noses. But I think there are small things happening, both in our government and in smaller venues.

So, where in heaven's name can anyone find truly unbiased news? I think Fox news does a decent job, but is there anywhere else out there?

Clintonites play the "fairness" card. The four-letter f-word that is central to Democrats' rhetoric and to discord everywhere "fair" is being bandied about. Clinton would be ahead in the delegate count if Obama had not won about twice as many delegates as she in caucuses, so...
