Senators Mel Martinez and Diane Feinstein along with 11 co-sponsors include Barack Obama have authored a bill creating a national finger-print registry according to analysis of the bill.

“No woman is illegal,” Clinton said, to cheers. (http://www.lvrj.com/news/13702902.html)
From someone sworn (as a United States Senator) to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the United States, this is disgraceful. Yet again Hillary Clinton shows her disdain for the laws that she expects everyone else to obey.
A pragmatist is someone who would have compromised with [...]

Michael Moore, please call your office – or the church. In a stunning move, the very liberal Episcopal Church unintentionally repudiates Michael Moore’s manipulative movie Sicko.
As is typical for the Episcopal Church, the Church again injected politics into the pulpit, at least this time, it was something that people could -and should- [...]
Echoing his comments in June, Warren Buffett is complaining about tax rates as being too low. The relevant question is: has he done anything about it or is he just being a hypocrite, again?
Let’s see what Buffett has actually done instead of said: Buffett is giving away is fortune (http://money.cnn.com/2006/06/25/magazines/fortune/charity1.fortune/). [...]

One might call it ironic that the McCain campaign is faltering due to lack of funds. Ironic because he has helped to silence his own speech rights while limiting everyone else’s. Instead of being free to donate and disclose to a candidate who shares your views, you are greatly limited. McCain suffers [...]
