Why is healthcare an atrocity in America?
All industrialized western nations in the world cover all their people on healthcare plans except the USA. The average cost of healthcare in other nations is 7% of GDP. In the USA it is double that and yet we leave over 40 million people or 16% of our people without any healthcare coverage at all...

Questions about the GW Bush military records.
There are many questions that could and should be asked about George W. Bush's National Guard service. They should have been asked by the Media in 2000, but they were too busy falling all over themselves trashing Al Gore to pay attention to the release of damning information in the Boston Globe...

There was a time in America when the middleclass was strong and growing. There was a time when the rich, the poor and the middleclass saw growth in their incomes and wealth at or about a four or five percent/year level.

The Bush Budget: Sowing more seeds of destruction.
The latest federal budget presented to the Congress yesterday by President Bush is the latest in a series of gargantuan fiscal frauds and follies that he and the Republicans have used to scam America. Aside from the fact that the $521 billion in projected deficit for FY (fiscal year) 2005 is a...

The Cowardice of the American Media.
There was a time when the American media was respected. The Washington Post gave us the Watergate scandal at great risk to the health and welfare of the key reporters, the editor and the owner of the newspaper. CBS News, back when it was operating as a bastion of journalism instead of the "profit...

The Bushies vilifying a national hero.
The hero in question is not John Kerry or Wesley Clark who both fought bravely and won medals for valor in Vietnam. And it is not Howard Dean who has spoken forcefully and courageously against George W. Bush and his policies of war in Iraq and tax cuts for the rich at home. The hero is a prize...

What the Dem candidates have that Bush doesn't !!!!!
Intelligence, Integrity and Industriousness are the three that come to mind when I think of the qualities that John Kerry, Wesley Clark, Howard Dean and John Edwards have always displayed and which President Bush has never demonstrated. I should also add Courage as another character strength of...

What the Election in 2004 is really about.
The election for the Presidency and the Congress this year is not your typical Republican vs Democrat confrontation. There is far, far more at stake. The Republican domination of all branches of government today is not unprecedented as Republicans had this back in the 1920s and the Democrats under...

The 500th US soldier dies in Iraq.
The deaths of brave American soldiers goes on and on and still there is nothing shown on TV about the bodies returning to Andrews Airforce Base or the funerals or the heartbreak for the families of these men and women.

Our Misbegotten President.
There are numerous books and studies that have been done of the 2000 election that show or prove that Al Gore was the true winner in Florida as well as having won the plurality of all the votes cast nationally. I won't go into Bush's brother Jeb's disenfranchising 90,000 black voters or the cowardly...
