I don't understand why the President's remarks lately regarding the tea party movement have been so condescending towards the movement's members. I'm fairly liberal and a big supporter of the president, but I believe this latest strategy is a misstep.

A member of my family sent me the following humorous -- yet completely erroneous -- email this morning. Like any good American who cares about the education of his fellow citizens, I corrected it and sent it back.

This article is intended as a follow up to a wonderfully satirical seed by HippieChick68 entitled "10 Reasons Gay Marriage is Wrong". If you haven't read it yet, you really should, it's quite funny.

Late into the night on November 4, Americans will be celebrating the election of our nation's 44th president, Barack Obama. You can take that to the bank, if you can find one that's still open.

Thanks to Newsviner Killfile's sharp eye, we early birds on the Vine got to catch a glimpse of the latest gaffe by the McCain campaign's advertising team (check out his seed here).

In 1957, the Broadway crowd was bowled over by the immense success of "The Music Man", a show written by Meredith Willson from a story she conceived with her partner, Franklin Lacey.

Well, the answer to that question is tough to provide with any certainty. One thing that is sure, you have to dig pretty far down into the poll results to find any positives for Senator McCain.

As the polls over the last couple of weeks have strongly favored Senator McCain in the presidential election, I've noticed (and exhibited) some disturbing behavior from some Obama supporters that is certainly counter-productive and possibly destructive.

A lot has been said lately about patriotism, about who loves America and who hates it. The bizarre intensity with which the right feels that the left is nothing but a bunch of Uncle Sam-loathing, lazy do-nothings leaves me wondering just who really can't stand America.

When MSNBC waxed poetic last week about the many comparisons between "The West Wing" and this year's race, I was a little miffed. I wrote this article back in June, and they didn't bother to reference it on air. Okay, I'm kidding about being miffed.

There's been a whole lot of media coverage about Senator McCain's huge gamble on Sarah Palin. He successfully changed the news cycle, robbing Senator Obama of the positive attention he might otherwise have enjoyed following is highly-regarded acceptance speech in Denver.

With today's Gallup tracking poll -- conducted before Obama's speech at Invesco Field at Mile High in Denver -- giving Obama a 49 - 41 edge over McCain, McCain did the unthinkable with his selection of Sarah Palin (Governor, Alaska) for his VP nominee ... he punted.

When NBC News released its monthly poll a few days ago, in which Barack Obama held a 6-point lead over John McCain, the headlines focused on the fact that the margin hadn't changed from a month before.

Writing something like this almost feels like coming out of the closet again, but I can't live with the lie anymore. My only recourse is to confront the truth and hope I can learn to live with it. Yes, it's true. I used to be a Bushie.

In the wake of our two Presidential candidates being forced to denounce enough religious leaders to fill a NAMBLA convention (okay, I'll admit that was a bad joke if you admit you chuckled), I've been thinking a lot lately about my own experiences in my church back home in Texas.

A few minutes ago, the latest Obama campaign conference call focusing in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender issues was concluded. I've typed some of my notes from the call below.

Sure, I'm an Obama supporter, but it turns out, the Constitution clearly favors a John McCain presidency. As we all know, the U.S. Constitution mandates that a President (or Vice President) must be at least 35 years of age.

Okay, anyone who follows politics already knows what this year's general election narrative will be: Republicans will try to paint Obama as hopelessly liberal and completely out of touch with core Americans' values, while the Democrats will simply strive to paint McCain and Bush …

All this chatter about Senator Obama displaying "weakness" for advocating a policy of diplomacy over military strikes has me questioning our nation's apparent aversion to talking through our differences with other leaders.
