We won’t even address the presidential elections George W. Bush won. (Aberrations belong in Ripley’s). Suffice it to say that those elections were a green flag to the political class to think creatively when it comes to getting their candidate elected – never mind the theory of universal democratic elections, where all the citizens are expected to vote. Sure, there are always mistakes in any human endeavor, but we’re not talking about mistakes here; we’re talking about outright, intentional attacks on the democratic process with its cornerstone, the democratic election, that legitimizes any government in power. ‘Government by consent of the people’, the phrase goes. Recent elections world-wide are mockeries of this noble ideal, and poses an unimaginable threat to all the world.

Take this June’s elections in Arkansas. Oh, yes, they held one alright. All 6 million of that state were invited to participate in the elections of their representatives of this 10,000 square miles of a U.S. state. Arkansas has 500 cities and towns. The land of Arkansas is diversified, ranging from forest to farmlands, to the hills and mountains in the north. Always a patriotic state, the home of presidents, Arkansas boasts of thousands of young men who have died on the battlefields, so that the people of Arkansas might rule themselves, but, on the night Arkansas opened the polling stations, no one seemed to remember them. It seems some Washington operatives appeared just in time to force the closing of all but four ballot stations. For most Arkansasians, voting that day meant driving for hours to get to a ballot box. The definition of “the people” was amended to mean people with cars. Frankly, no one should care what the excuses are. The boys of Arkansas gave no excuses when their state and country called them to fight and die on the battlefields for democracy’s sake, for the sake of a fair election that they and their progeny could enjoy as the guarantee of liberty for the people of Arkansas.

The perversion of the election is tantamount to treason, a betrayal that sickens every veteran that made the sacrifice of home and family for the American way of life. It is the harbinger of the fall of the United States, that once ideal democracy that gave hope to all the nations of the world. We should not forget that as recently as the last century, our fathers and grandfathers offered their lives that we might be free. It is our responsibility to pass on to our children the democratic election in pristine form.

What will it take for Americans to be outraged by such practices as we have seen in the Arkansas ‘democratic’ election? Must we wait until our elections fall to the level of the election we saw in Afghanistan? That election has been condemned as a fraud by key U.N. officials who monitored it. Karzai, then – and still – president, gave all the appearances of a democratic leader. He appointed an election commission that reported to him alone, that made decisions that promoted him alone. Karzai used a reverse strategy of the Washington group that got Arkansas to close down all but four voting stations: Karzai’s lackeys opened up 25 percent of the polls in Taliban territory, knowing they would not be used, but used they were, to stuff the ballot boxes with Karzai votes. When 1.5 million votes, a third of all votes, were questioned, all of them Karzai votes, the U.N. creatively determined that Afghanistan law did not permit the tossing out of fraudulent votes. This was fortunate for Karzai. If these votes had been tossed out in this so-called democratic election, Karzai would have had to go through another election. The U.S. wanted Karzai to win, and apparently the U.N. held the same sentiment. Thanks to those fraudulent votes, Karzai is the “duly” elected president of Afghanistan today.

The democratic election is new to Afghanistan. What is Arkansas’ excuse? American citizens, don’t let this happen here…again?

This past presidential election was really something. Women in American politics was center stage for everyone to see. Hillary Clinton running for the Democratic Presidential nomination and Sarah Palin running for the Republican Vice President nomination. These were two different but driving individuals. In the end, both lost for their bids but the political scene has probably changed for ever. Expect to see more women in American politics running for the highest US office.

Number 1: Tie the economic recovery and the oil/gas crisis together. Announce a major X billion dollar program to fix the economy and get energy independence all in one, long term plan.

Number 3: Nationalize all the off shore drilling past the 10 or 20 mile limit. In other words, once you are 10 miles off shore, the states have no jurisdiction. All environment suits must be filed in one federal court. State courts will not have the right to hold up drilling permits any longer.

Political yard signs are one of the most noticeable attributes of a political campaign in the United States. These small signs are often placed in yards and other highly visible places. Lawn signs are considered a vital component of any local campaign. They are a cheap and effective method of making a candidate known in the election district.

Campaign signs play an instrumental role in establishing a candidate’s identity and acquainting the public with the names of citizens who are running for public office. Political yard signs generally contain the name of the candidate and the office they are running for, and if the candidate is an incumbent, the sign may say so. In some cases, party affiliation might be mentioned on the sign. Extras like the election date or campaign slogan are often added but tend to divert the viewer from the key message. Party symbols are quite popular with yard signs, but photos on a yard sign are controversial. An attractive photo can lead voters to identify with the candidate; on the other hand, signs with photos are usually more expensive. Election and Campaign Sign package prices will depend upon the color, size and quantity you order.

The audio book ‘The Case Against Hillary Clinton’ shows an other side of the ex-First Lady who is a candidate for US President.

Publishers Weekly said about the book: “Noonan offers a searing analysis of what she sees as the emptiness of HRC’s political platform and the mountain of questions about her past that remain unanswered.”

Certainly worthwhile listening to, if you want to make yourself an image of who HRC really is. There are more audio books about Hillary Clinton, some pro, some contra. I’m currently listening to them all to be able to get a clearer image of who I should vote for….

Besides the war in Iraq, little has caught the media’s attention more that the issue of “same sex” marriages. After Massachusetts set a new standard back in 2003, many states have constituencies on both sides striving to get their way. You have the gay activists trying to push the acceptance of same sex marriage, while opponents have pushed to incorporate same sex bans into their constitutions.

For more on this topic go here: Marriage and Politics – Same Sex vs. Traditional Husband and Wife. This is a current article taken from a news cast on 2/17/07. It is found in an article directory on a website that primarily sells Traditional Wedding Invitations but also has many informative wedding planning articles to help the bride.

Hillary Clinton announced on her website today that she will consider a presidential candidacy for 2008. This was to be expected and certainly brings drive to the Democrats battle to regain power.

In the audio book ‘The Case for Hillary Clinton‘, longtime political analyst Susan Estrich argues that no candidate even approaches the power and promise of Hillary Rodham Clinton , the senator from New York. Both a passionate spokesperson for progressive values and a strong advocate for our troops overseas, Clinton has used her time in the Senate to establish herself successfully as a genuine political powerhouse. And she offers Americans a once-in-a-lifetime chance to break the world’s most prominent glass ceiling and elect a female president of the United States.
