Greenspan to lose faith in conservative religion?

[A]lmost three years after stepping down as chairman of the Federal Reserve, a humbled Mr. Greenspan admitted that he had put too much faith in the self-correcting power of free markets and had failed to anticipate the self-destructive power of wanton mortgage lending.
. . .
Mr. Greenspan refused to accept blame for the crisis but acknowledged that his belief in deregulation had been shaken.

From the NYTimes.

a mccain "victory": a terrifyingly real possibility

from Rolling Stone:

Suppressing the vote has long been a cornerstone of the GOP's electoral strategy. Shortly before the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980, Paul Weyrich — a principal architect of today's Republican Party — scolded evangelicals who believed in democracy. "Many of our Christians have what I call the 'goo goo' syndrome — good government," said Weyrich, who co-founded Moral Majority with Jerry Falwell. "They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. . . . As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."

and from the Huffington Post:

John McCain's campaign has directed $175,000 to the firm of a Republican operative accused of massive voter registration fraud in several states.

According to campaign finance records, a joint committee of the McCain-Palin campaign, the RNC and the the California Republican Party, made a $175,000 payment to the group Lincoln Strategy in June for purposes of "registering voters." The managing partner of that firm is Nathan Sproul, a renowned GOP operative who has been investigated on multiple occasions for suppressing Democratic voter turnout, throwing away registration forms and even spearheading efforts to get Ralph Nader on ballots to hinder the Democratic ticket.

finally, all the ACORN "voter fraud" bullshit reflects a now typical neo-conservative ploy: the accusation that their democratic opponents have their own worst faults. by claiming that the democrats, and specifically, ACORN, are involved in registering legions of fraudulent voters, the republicans have preemptively deflected the blame for what they, to some considerable degree of likelihood, plan on doing -- rigging the election. from the above references, we know the republicans have successfully rigged elections in the past and given the monumentally uphill battle they face this november 4th, they will try again.

what will you do if mccain is "elected"? what if obama doesn't win as the polls predict? this is probably the first time in my life where i feel that something incredibly important is "happening" and i don't want to stand by while the country is unlawfully taken away from its people.

Gates calls on NATO for Afghanistan surge

Listen carefully to what Gates is saying at the beginning of this video. He's admitting that a war on Afghanistan is unpopular with the world majority ("political risks at home") and many NATO countries' war budgets are too small to fight effectively. Ironically, his solution is to keep fighting. And so is Obama's.

GOLD!

Spot-on Herebrt Article! HERE

" Where is the evidence that Governor Palin even understands these complex and enormously challenging problems? During the debate she twice referred to General McKiernan as “McClellan.” Neither Ms. Ifill nor Senator Biden corrected her.

But after Senator Biden suggested that John McCain’s answer to the nation’s energy problems was to “drill, drill, drill,” Ms. Palin promptly pointed out, as if scoring a point, that “the chant is ‘Drill, baby, drill!’ ”

How’s that for perspective? The credit markets are frozen. Our top general in Afghanistan is dialing 911. Americans are losing jobs by the scores of thousands. And Sarah Palin is making sure we know that the chant is “drill, baby, drill!” not “drill, drill, drill.”'
