No, I’m not talking about the countless blogs, websites, reporters that are showing just how much she lied.  I’m talking about the ordinary citizens of this country who want change and see that McCain and Palin are the same as the people who have been hurting this country for the past 8 years.  Since Palin’s [...]

I think we all heard about the three men that were caught plotting to assassinate Barack Obama in Denver.  Well, it seems the FBI wanted to toughen the charges against the men to a charge of conspiracy but again, BushCo partisan politics stands in the way of justice.  A Karl Rove appointee turned down the [...]
