Blackwell gets a lick in early

Among the commercials in the minutes leading up to the debate was 30-second spot from the Blackwell campaign accusing Strickland of wanting to take religion out of public life. Blackwell's spokesman, Carlo LoParo, was in the media room outside the Corbett Theater when the ad run, and was quite pleased with the ad's placement.

Oh yes, because Strickland, an ordained minister clearly wants to take religion out of public life. Blackwell is desperate. The truth is that people just don't like him. He is arrogant and he is an opportunist who would do anything to get ahead. Which is probably why he refuses to release his tax records.

People who want to shove religion *into* the public life should take notice of the way the Amish in Pennsylvania are treating the murder of thier children. "It's probably best it happend to us," said one young woman, "because we're more mentally prepared to meet God." The family of one dead child sked that people be asked to pray for the murderer. And there is no public mourning; it's done at home, quietly. The Amish didn't attend any of the public memorial services.

And then you get some clown like Blackwell that wants to wear religion on his sleeve and scream about how a Godless America is roaring into hell. What a grandstanding, pious poser.

I say take a look at what real religous people, people who actually read the Bible instead of wave the dust covered thing around, do. Right wing nutball Christians should be ashamed.

Voting for any Republican is support to one of the most corrupt administration's in history:

PRE-PLANNED WAR KNOWN TO LOBBYIST:

Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff reappeared on the scene over these last few days. A bipartisan Congressional report described hundreds of contacts between Abramoff and the White House, including 82 contacts with Karl Rove's office and at least ten between Abramoff and Rove himself. Recall that former White House spokesman Scott McClellan brushed off any White House-Abramoff associations back in January, describing them merely as a "few staff-level meetings."

Congressman Henry Waxman, minority chair for the House Government Reform Committee, released a massive batch of emails from Abramoff to various Washington DC power players. In one, dated March 18, 2002, Abramoff wrote, "I was sitting yesterday with Karl Rove, Bush's top advisor, at the NCAA basketball game, discussing Israel when this email came in. I showed it to him. It seems that the President was very sad to have to come out negatively regarding Israel, but that they needed to mollify the Arabs for the upcoming war on Iraq."

"The upcoming war in Iraq," wrote Abramoff casually, one year and two days before the invasion was undertaken. It seems those "few staff-level meetings" availed Abramoff of some significant information. How this criminal came to know war in Iraq was coming before the rest of the world did is something that deserves a great deal of intense scrutiny.

It's time to take back our country and the only was to do that is refuse to vote for either party.

Obviously, the comments of someone naive and "green".
