  • When we turn our backs on the Law, we have told the bin Ladens they’ve won!
    15 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Mary MacElveen
    I have been speaking of what is a warranted fear as opposed to an unwarranted one and as I read this statement from the extremist right-wing-nut, Dick Cheney in which, concerning Ned Lamont’s win in the Conneticut Democratic primary, he stated that he found it "disturbing."
    The rightist vice president then went on to say “the al Qaeda types, they clearly are betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability (…)

    Democratic voters of Connecticut you’ve restored a sense of faith - not in the political system (which would almost be impossible) - but in the American electorate. Not completely. There were, after all, 48% of you who stuck with Lieberman and those who sat home yesterday. It’s barely reason for ethusiasm, but it does provide a light at the end of the tunnel.
    Could it be that American voters are actually following foreign affairs closely enough to realize how much blood, money and time has (…)

  • Partial recount does not go far enough for Mexican left
    8 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Mark Stevenson in Mexico City
    Mexico’s left-wing presidential candidate called for more street protests to demand a full recount in the country’s disputed election on 2 July, despite the federal electoral court’s ruling that only a partial, ballot-by-ballot review was necessary.
    The tribunal decided on Saturday that granting Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s request for a full recount would violate electoral laws that prohibit recounts unless there is evidence of irregularities or fraud. (…)

  • ’Single issue’ candidate knows what’s important
    6 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    BY JESSE JACKSON
    To this day, Joe Lieberman still doesn’t get it. The 18-year incumbent Democratic senator from Connecticut is in the battle for his political life in the Democratic primary. He dismisses his challenger — Ned Lamont, a Connecticut businessman whose campaign is grounded on opposition to the war in Iraq, as a single-issue candidate.
    But Iraq is not a single issue, it is a central issue — both for the country and for the Democratic Party. It is a catastrophic foreign policy (…)
