Oh, and why polls are totally full of shit!

I believe that 40% as much as I believe I will wake up tomorrow and find GWB was a bad dream a la Dallas.

i want a debate between mcBush and obama using YouTube.....i know it would be difficult but it would expose mcBush to behavior/comments that have an impact on many americans right or wrong.

here's a doozy... look what i found:

Mukasey Calls On Congress to Subvert Constitution

Why does this stuff always seem to come out on a Friday afternoon…

OpEdNews and ACLU:

Attorney General Wants New Declaration of War Allowing Indefinite Detention and Concealment of Torture

In an enormous executive branch power grab, Attorney General Michael Mukasey called on Congress today to authorize indefinite detention through a new declaration of armed conflict. Mukasey also proposed that Congress subvert the right of habeas corpus with a new scheme of procedures that will hide the Bush administration’s past wrongdoing - an action that would undermine the constitutional guarantee of due process and conceal systematic torture and abuse of detainees.

i saw that earlier they're tidying up the office before they leave...we are going to hear much more about this torture issue....we thought the christian crusades were brutal...wait.

Okay I watched the video now I feel like I need a shower. Is that a regular tv show or net site or what? I can't understand half of what they say and I grew up in the south.

As to comment number six I read a much longer article about that this morning and I believe it was in the comments of one of their open thread posts. The entire article was written mostly by ACLU lawyers so the you might be able to catch it in full on their site.

Seeing what they are wanting to do is frightening as hell. If congress goes along with this, we better all be sure we know where our passports are located or apply for one if you have none yet.

I totally agree with Ms. Joanne about polls. Here's another consideration: I am assuming most of these polls were made by phone. How many 20 and 30 year olds have land line phones? Yet these are the people who are most likely to vote for Obama. I doubt if these younger voters are being heavily polled.

I'd like to make another point, not about polls: When I was in high school, every week we watched a new program called, "All in the Family". I told everyone I knew that my father gave lessons to Archie Bunker. When they met my dad, they believed it! Archie was the personification of thousands of real people like my dad. Well, it's now 2008, and my dad is 80 years old, and guess who he's voting for? Yep, Archie is voting for the black guy. McCain, you're lost.

It goes beyond actual polling. The article is about how the corporate media whores are selecting differing data using sometimes polls which are several months old - to make their point. When McCain is ahead, they use current polls. When Obama is ahead, they use old polls.

Read the whole article (it's quite long) and VERY, VERY interesting. It's not just the poll data, but the parsing. It's total horseshit! It's all horserace and drama.

Oh my gawd! The arrogance!

I have the full transcript of his July 21st AEI remarks. Haven't read it in detail, but basically he's asking Congress to preemptively usurp the judicial function to avoid a putative tangle of contradictory inferior courts' rulings. This is more of the Bu'ush overall "Melt Clock" strategy, because, Congress could enact a law with unconstitutional provisions (like the MCA clearly has), but unless/until SCOTUS negates them, they stay on the books and provide cover. MCA challenges are still winding their way to SCOTUS (and they may decline to hear them).

Mukasey could simply ask for expedited SCOTUS review of a chosen case to settle the issue definitely, but, of course, that's not what he wants.

Back when tv was worth watching All in the Family was our family's favorite. I remember Archie always had trouble dealing with a neighbor named Lionel, a fantastic and cool dude! And I remember Sammy Davis Jr. was a guest once on the show. Hilarious!
Thanks to your dad. He's given me a bit more hope.

woopsy! Didn't mean to block All in the Family!

Thanks -- I just love these guys.

@19, you are right about the polls. Remember in 2006 when everyone was saying Rick Satorum had a fighting chance? Bob Casey creamed him! Now we have a Republican Party filled with bitter old men. I hope to God the people of Alaska finally get rid of Sen. Stevens. And if they don't, they can only blame themselves.

could hillary still be in this?

I've been saying it for months, If they could poll people who only have cell phones(me for one)I bet Obama is up(conservative estimate here)8-12 points! He has to be, i don't think there are that many stupid people voting for McCrazy. NO WAY!!!

Same here! My army veteran father was a racist and taught us that the black race was ruining the world. At 84, he is a completely different man than he was back then . He is proudly sporting an Obama sticker on his SUV and is no longer registered as a Republican. Our whole family, grandkids included, are voting for Obama and most are former Republicans. Crazy world, but at least we are waking up the crimes of this administration and those (like McCain) that want to continue to repeat them.

The Air Farce and other government networks blocked Crooks and Liars but left open Drudge Report and other Neocon sites.

They even closed Fark down for a bit.

Ah, so Russia's got another Tsar with a big cock, hmm? I figured they weren't going to let their old empire slip away. The Russians kept enough of it even after 1991 that they outweigh all the rest of the former USSR/Tsardom. It was only a matter of time before the Russians decided a little reconquering was in order.

hope there's some screamin' about this:

i don't think so...

Time for someone to start doing CELL PHONE ONLY POLLS.

.. just a thought ..

the internet has lowered the bars in some respects. not humorous or anything, just plain annoying and... bad.

woody, tokin librul @ 19:

The SCUM report the rigged polls a if they were the furlong poles in a horserace. The horse race metaphor is designed to convince the morons, who watch--and believe--network and cable news, that there's a real race. That is, they keep up that illusion so that, if necessary, it's always close enough to steal.

Anyone who actually trusts the US election process after these past 8 years is either a terminal naif or...
well we needn't go there, i guess...wouldn't wanna offend any readers...

Again, rigging elections dates back to 1877, not 2000.

Hey Folks!

In two weeks, I’ll be doing a rare above ground performance at DemocracyFest in Arlington VA, and I’ve been scheduled to sing just prior to the Keynote address by Howard Dean. Quite an honor bestowed on this Subway Serenade by the Deaniacs.

More importantly, I’ll be giving informal demonstrations of The Heart Tuner Cardiofeedback system that I’ve been experimenting with over the past year. I’ll be showing folks how to consciously create ascending heart waves by directing and focusing the heart’s electrical charge. I will show how it is possible for two hearts to match or “Phase Lock” both the harmonic frequencies and amplitudes of their hearts at the same time, and the possibility of connecting hearts over the internet in a quantifiable, highly concentrated global meditation.

DemocracyFest is always a blast, and this year is going to be extra special. So get your tickets today and come have a great time.

Hope to see you there.

I made a new video and this one is about McCain...please check it out and tell me what you thinkl

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6cMfMMTx5o

excellent easy to watch,interesting beginning and end.. with "the" message that's going to get viewership.

It's not who votes that matters...

What counts is who counts the votes...

I can/shall NEVER trust another electronic voting machine...and I am an election judge, too...

Staying strong.

Glen Greenwald has an amazing article on the anthrax attack following 9/11 at Salon. If you haven't read it yet I urge you to click on that link and check it out. This is close to a smoking gun that the Anthrax attack was a "false flag" operation. Regardless of who actually committed the anthrax mailings the way they were used by the administration and John McCain was criminal. Also, the way ABC news allowed themselves to be used to put out complete lies linking the anthrax to Iraq.
