I don’t post here often, but couldn’t think where else. And I am assuming that once a SC candidate has been rejected he would not be renominated later.

Since the right has declared they absolutely will not accept anyone the president nominates, why not find the top republican choices and nominate them? It would be a risk, they might approve anyway. And if they win the election and install one of their previous rejects there would be a fun footnote in history that he was an Obama nominee.

I simply cannot comprehend the evil I heard this man espouse. In addition to condemning lawyers working to maintain a system of justice, this man actually asserted that no one accused of crime (he stipulated terrorism but that is so broad as to be limitless) by the federal government has no recourse to the courts and the government can and should punish, interrogate, and torture as it sees fit. He asserted this ability as a war power. First, I believe habeas corpus can only be suspended for rebellion and in case of invasion, neither of which exist. Second, even if this were a legitimate war power, no war exists. Congress has not declared a war and the president does not have that authority.

So proud to live in SC

South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, who is running for the Republican nomination for governor, has compared giving people government assistance to "feeding stray animals."

A few days ago I was reading comments on another blog with a similar political slant to this one. I don’t read the right wing blogs, there doesn’t seem to be any need since their positions are broadcast across our airwaves every day. The subject being discussed was republicans in Libertarian clothing with the premise being that republicans were distancing themselves from their party and claiming to be Libertarians. Seems to me I can’t blame them, I wouldn’t admit to being a republican now if I was one either.

Word from my 72 year old mother. She doesn't use the Internet or watch much (well,,,some Fox) TV news. So that means she is getting her programming from her Southern probably Baptist church.

"We can't let the Democrats win. When they impeach Bush and Chaney then Nancy Pelosi will become our first woman president." That is the current liberal plot.

If this is true...

Am I the only one here aware that Smartfilter is now blocking DailyKos? Has been all week, BoingBoing mentioned it earlier this week, I have been expecting outrage. I don't see them blocking any of the Repugnent blogs. Shades of Diebold. I can reed with an RSS aggerator but I can't follow links. Anyone out there that can host a mirror?

This is amazing, can it possably stand?

Something has happened, something has changed, and nobody seems to be really talking about it. I think because it is almost to subtle to articulate, and too pervasive to clearly see. That is the way police and other "authorities" interact with the people of our country. I'm sure many of you have watched the old "Andy of Mayberry" program. ... Read More

The court says this is ok. So, in the middle of the night when no one can see, strangers crash into your home. You are an American citizen so they know you might be armed, so they stage an armed assault. This is to insure no one gets hurt except maybe you. Read More

According to www.energy.ca.gov/, a 42G barrell of crude oil yields a total of 49.57G marketable product(31.4G of which is sold as fuel). Based on the fuel produced,each 1$ increase in oil price should result in a 3.2CENTS ($0.032)increase in fuel cost. According to www.oilnergy.com the price of sweet crude has risen from $44 to $68 in the past 12 months, a rise of $24 which should result in a price increase of $24x$0.032=$0.77 per gallon.During the same period, according to www.eia.doe.gov the retail price of gasoline has risen from $1.86 to $2.90, an increase of $1.04.

So, $1.04-$0.77=$0.24 per gallon excess profits to the oil companies. US consumption of gasoline is approximately 26M G/day,
or 9490 million gallons per year. This results in profit above true market value of $2,277,600,000 per year. If that isn't gouging I don't know what is.
