[Media Matters by Jamison Foser] "Media Matters"; by Jamison Foser: Immediately after the 2004 vice presidential debate between John Edwards and Dick Cheney, Russert repeated Cheney's claim during the debate that he had previously never met Edwards until moments before the debate started -- a claim Cheney made in order to suggest that Edwards didn't show up for work at the Senate. The next morning, Russert noted that in fact the two had met multiple times before, including one morning in 2001 when they were both on Meet the Press and, according to Russert, "they stopped and shook hands." Russert said that, during the debate, he "thought that John Edwards would call him on it right at that very moment." So -- according to his own statements -- Russert knew while watching the debate that Cheney had lied.

[java] Glenn Greenwald: From this sentence, he concludes that there will be judgment upon all who stood by while the Russian-led force invaded Israel, and issues a stark warning to the United States to intervene: “Could it be that America, who refuses to defend Israel from the Russian invasion, will experience nuclear warfare on our east and west coasts?” He says yes, citing Genesis 12:3, in which God said to Israel: “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you.”
[Reason Magazine - Staff] The New Age of Reason: the 1950s also gave us books like Jack Kerouac’s On the Road (1957), which exalted drugging, drinking, and sexual libertinism. In 1960 the anarchist sociologist Paul Goodman, in Growing Up Absurd: Problems of Youth in the Organized System, highlighted “the disaffection of the growing generation”
[Kicking Ass Ann Arbor] Focus on McCain | Dana Cronyn: Not only does he part company with conservatives on these and other issues””climate change, drilling for oil in the Alaskan hinterland, federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research, international criminal courts, gun-show background checks””he invariably adopts the rhetoric of the left and stridently leads the opposition.” Working with a Democratic Congress, a President McCain could well pass half the agenda that Republicans have been fighting against for the past decade.

[JOEZsREPUBLICANPAGE's Recent Posts on Blogster] CPAC meeting: This is, after all, the state where, in 2000, John McCain called Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell, "agents of intolorance."

[Dans Blog] Evangelicals shift from "Republicanism".... towards Social Issues.: Proponents of the new evangelicalism, on the other hand, say their broader agenda reflects a frustration with the scarce victories in the culture war and revulsion at the moral entanglements of partisan alliances (Abu Ghraib, Jack Abramoff). Scot McKnight, an evangelical theologian at North Park University in Chicago, said, “It is the biggest change in the evangelical movement at the end of the 20th century, a new kind of Christian social conscience.”
[The Left Coaster] Barack Obama's War On Of Triangulation: Clinton - who was not in favor of a war with Iran and had introduced legislation to prevent Bush from invading Iran without Congressional approval - misguidedly voted for Kyl-Lieberman, a non-binding resolution - she was one of the worst enablers of Bush because this allegedly supported Bush's attempt to invade Iran. However, if Obama promoted the social security crisis rhetoric that Bush used to push for privatization, Obama was in no way an enabler of Bush because, um, he didn't believe in privatization.
["That's Saul, folks!"Michigan Republican Party Blog] Articles of Interest 5-19-07: Writing for Tribune Media Services, Thomas touches on what he considers the positives of the Moral Majority but chooses to linger on his disappointment: "If one examines the results of the Moral Majority's agenda, little was accomplished in the political arena and much was lost in the spiritual realm, as many came to believe that to be a Christian meant you also must be 'converted' to the Republican Party and adopt the GOP agenda and its tactics.
