You know what two words precede every glowing claim about that software in that article? "Ward says". You believe anybody who already agrees with you and ignore everyone else, don't you? |

Yeah, those free trade agreements are toxic. I'm very disappointed with Obama and Clinton in that regard. I'll tell you guys what - the electoral fight isn't going to be about who gets to be President. Obama will win. He might have a lot of people pissed off, but the republican contestants are flip-floppers, junkies, rapists, liars, and batshit crazies. The republicans know that. They do. Really. While we're watching Perry trip balls, are we paying attention to how Congress redmapped our representatives' districts? Are we paying attention to our candidates for the House and Senate? Are we waching the lastest republican tinfoil hat parade Presidential debate, or are we looking into who's up for election in our state? New governor, anyone? Who gets to elect a new mayor next year? The circus is all for show. Don't let it distract you from the REAL elections. Clinton did a lot to ruin the middle class, from NAFTA, to repealing Glass Seagull, to the 1996 Telecommunications Act. All of these were awful. Before anyone mentions Reagan, Bush, etc I know they did it too but we aren't talking that, we are talking this. The district remapping actually is going to be interesting. Here's where it gets interesting. The district will likely merge with the one to the north and the areas couldn't be different. My current representative is a tea party guy but the one that borders this is the son of a famous civil right activist that everyone knows. The two areas couldn't be more different this is rural and the bordering one is urban. This where it gets weird and that is the other congressman has been fighting to start an airport not far from me that no one in this county wants. There is speculation this congressman did this to get himself power for this issue (which is a big issue). Here's where it gets complicated and the former congresswoman (a Democrat)wants to run against the troublemaker Dem in the next primary. She's opposed to the airport and she will get my vote if she runs against him. I actually know her and she got her masters the same year I did so we graduated together. If it comes down to the other two guys I will not vote for either. |

Ward is the professional who analyzed the data. Of course they're going to say "Ward says". What else are they supposed to say? |

Speaking of Nader and Paul: . Them being interviewed together: That last video displays the greatest threat to not only American establishment but the world's. We are in a time when people noticeably are displaying their true essence. You see republicans go further to the "right" and become the Palin-Beck tea party crowd. You see democrats go further "left" and become Obama die hard supporters. In the midst of this those who represent goodness and decency come together, leaving their political identities aside for the real common good. Liberals outside N.America are very different from the brainwashed people here and they're not buying into the Obama and the democrats are good bullshit. |

That is true, but I think people are starting to realize neither party has their best interests at heart. I used to think the Dems were for the people but they are for the corporations just like the Reps are. Obama is no better than Bush and no matter whether he gets re elected or not he will not change the status quo and neither will anyone else.

But he's one private investigator. Neither he nor the reporter names the software in question, nor is there any other party verifying the results. This doesn't arouse your skepticism? |

Not any more than unnamed victims or people who come forward 15 years after the fact, without even reporting it when it supposedly happened. |

Thank you for noticing that. The Presidential election is cut-and-dried. It's the OTHER elections where either the best candidate wins, or the worst.
While everyone's on about the Presidential election, who's paying attention to candidates for other offices?

Cain's out of the race now. He's suspended his campaign.

[Thank you for noticing that. The Presidential election is cut-and-dried. It's the OTHER elections where either the best candidate wins, or the worst. While everyone's on about the Presidential election, who's paying attention to candidates for other offices? I pay attention to all the races, but an interesting thing is happening that will affect the race. My former governor Blagojevich is about to be sentenced for corruption and they have been implying that they have some evidence to investigate Jesse Jackson Jr with some corruption. How does this correspond to this? Well he's been pushing to merge my district with his because I live near a location where he wants to build a third airport. The state redistricted my area (which is mostly Republican and rural)with his district (Democratic and urban) so my district will once again end up with his. The irony is if he is charged with something he won't be able to run and the person I really want to run (a Democratic woman)will run instead of him. So it may backfire on Jackson. Btw, no one here wants the airport and we all know that Jackson getting control of it means he puts his buddies in power and many of them are not very good people. |
