I've been reflecting on Sunday's incident with George Bush and the shoes that were launched at his head. Yes, I did laugh at first. However, this is a grave matter that speaks to deep-rooted issues.
I don't condone that man's actions. I don't. No matter how much I despise George Bush, and believe...

Somewhere between Sarah Palin calling blue states un-American and citing Obama as being a misogynist because he didn't pick Hillary Clinton for his running mate, information has come to light that this so-called " maverick" and "reformer" is actually a big spender.
However,...

Hey Senator McCain, how does it feel to know that one of the most respected members of your party, Colin Powell, endorsed Barack Obama this morning?
I bet it feels pretty shitty.
Yep, pretty shitty to know that such an intelligent, admired and dedicated Republican thinks that you, Palin and the...

As I sat down to chuckle at the Daily Show last night, I noticed a segment in which they played a portion of a recent McCain rally. McCain, once again, informed his audience of the baseless and unfounded " connection" between former domestic terrorist, Bill Ayers, and Barack Obama.
From...

Ole' Sarah is back at it again. Just this weekend, she told her supporters, on two separate occassions, that Obama had been "palling around" with a domestic terrorist. Palin stated that Barack Obama is "someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he's palling...

Eight years ago, I jokingly remarked to my then college roommates that “you know it must be bad, when I'd rather have John McCain in office than George Bush."
It was sobering for me at the time to realize that George W. Bush was such a pitiful, ignorant, arrogant and completely unqualified...

I waited for Friday night's debate like a child eagerly awaits Christmas morning. To me, the debates are like the super bowl of the election. I plant myself in front of the tv and enthusiastically cheer on my team, the Democrats, and their captain, Barack Obama.
I felt badly for both candidates...

As I typed in “Gallup Poll” in my search engine, I had an almost childlike excitement as I awaited the results. John McCain’s recent “determination” to resolve our country’s recent financial crisis and “ suspension” of his campaign to make it a top priority has turned my stomach enough to assume...

In response to my latest blog about the economy, a good friend of mine brought up a good point. If McPalin is to be elected, and they continue to mercilessly drive the nation into the ground, would people actually come together, within their respective communities, to make change from the ground up...

I don't know about you, but I've been losing sleep over the country's financial crisis. A worry-wart by nature, I definitely lost some precious zzz's to the pending government bailout of several financial giants, who have shoved our economy to the brink of a depression.
As I staggered through the...

Both Obama and Mcain are hot on the campaign trail this week, addressing the country's most pressing issue, the economy.
McCain, who only a week ago said the economy was fundamentally sound, is now saying that the U.S. financial system is facing a major crisis. He was a champion of de-regulation...

According to a recent AP-Yahoo News poll, this unfortunate sentiment currently belongs to thirty percent of white Democratic and Independent voters. This sentiment could also cost Obama the race if the election remains to be as close as it is.
In addition, this sentiment could also be the reason...

One thing that I have loved about this election so far, is the amount of discussion that it has inspired across all party lines, and ages.
I am both a devoted Democrat, as well as Barack Obama supporter. I have suffered through the past eight years of the Bush administration to the point of having...
