Liberal Revolt endorses Obama

Friday April 25, 2008 | Comment | Permalink | Digg It

In case you have been wondering why Liberal Revolt has remained postless for many months — well, we’ve just been busy. So, here we go — another rant.

I support Barack Obama because he feels more genuine, and I believe that he has the ability to heal the wounds that have been inflicted on citizens of the US for the past 8 years. I feel that Obama is capable of removing the limiting blue/red labels that were maliciously foisted upon us by this administration. I fear that with Clinton in office, this sharp divide will continue to fester and perhaps grow more pronounced. I want to be hopeful about the United States again — I feel that Obama offers the possibility of hope.

Having said all of this, I will still vote for Clinton if she is nominated. I cannot bear the thought of having Grampy McCain in office for 4 years. Can you imagine what the state of affairs will be if we get into another war in the Middle East? Old “100-Year-War” McCain has a raging hard-on waiting to bomb the shite out of Iran. We simply can’t afford this.

So, it’s Barack Obama for us.

For Huckabee, 1 out of 56 equals "most"

From PolitFact

“During the Republican debate, Mike Huckabee said he believes one of the defining issues facing the country is the sanctity of human life. Arguing that the issue is of historical importance, he invoked the Declaration of Independence’s rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and said that most of the signers of the declaration were clergymen.”

As it turns out, only 1 of the 56 people that signed the Declaration of Independence was an active clergyman. John was a Presbyterian minister and president of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University).

A few more of the signers were former clergymen, though it’s a little unclear just how many.

Beck weighed in on the fires in California:

“I think there is a handful of people who hate America. Unfortunately for them, a lot of them are losing their homes in a forest fire today.”

Tricky Dick calls Fred Thompson "Dumb as hell"

Tuesday October 9, 2007 | Comment | Permalink | Digg It

From ABCNews.com

Alexander Haig, White House Chief of Staff: I pulled Len off the phone. He’s talking to Fred Thompson. I said you’re not —

Nixon: Oh sh—! He’s dumb as hell. Fred Thompson. Who is he? Who is he? He won’t say anything?

Do you find it shocking that the Republicans are considering putting up another complete boob? I don’t find it shocking at all.

Giuliani uses 9-11 again

Giuliani recently addressed a cell phone call he took from his wife, Judith, last week during his speech to the National Rifle Association:

“And quite honestly, since Sept. 11, most of the time when we get on a plane, we talk to each other and just reaffirm the fact that we love each other,”

Greenspan: GOP deserved to lose

Saturday September 15, 2007 | Comment [2] | Permalink | Digg It

From Wall Street Journal

In a withering critique of his fellow Republicans, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan says in his memoir that the party to which he has belonged all his life deserved to lose power last year for forsaking its small-government principles.

In The Age of Turbulence: Adventures in a New World, published by Penguin Press, Mr. Greenspan criticizes both congressional Republicans and President George W. Bush for abandoning fiscal discipline.

Mr. Greenspan, who calls himself a “lifelong libertarian Republican,” writes that he advised the White House to veto some bills to curb “out-of-control” spending while the Republicans controlled Congress. He says President Bush’s failure to do so “was a major mistake.” Republicans in Congress, he writes, “swapped principle for power. They ended up with neither. They deserved to lose.”

National Security Archive sues White House

Thursday September 6, 2007 | Comment | Permalink | Digg It

From George Washington University:

Washington DC, September 5, 2007 – The National Security Archive today sued the White House seeking the recovery and preservation of more than 5 million White House e-mail messages that were apparently deleted from White House computers between March 2003 and October 2005.

The lawsuit filed this morning in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia names as defendants the Executive Office of the President and its components that are subject to the Federal Records Act, including the White House Office of Administration (OA), and the National Archives and Records Administration (which is responsible for long-term preservation of federal and presidential records), under the records laws and the Administrative Procedure Act.

White House officials ranging from spokesperson Dana Perino to counsel Keith Roberts have acknowledged in press and Congressional briefings that e-mail is missing from the White House archive, and that the EOP in 2002 abandoned the electronic records management system put in place by the Clinton White House. Whistleblowers cited in conjunction with a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) have alleged that more than 5 million e-mail messages are missing from the White House servers.

“The Bush White House broke the law and erased our history by deleting those e-mail messages,“ said National Security Archive director Tom Blanton. “The period of the missing email starts with the invasion of Iraq and runs through the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.“

Archive general counsel Meredith Fuchs said, “Without court oversight, there’s no guarantee the White House will ever recover the missing e-mails or install an effective archiving system.”

“The law is clear that e-mails count as government records,” said attorney Sheila Shadmand of the law firm Jones Day, which is representing the Archive. “The White House admits e-mails are missing but we have no assurance they are fixing the problem.”

The National Security Archive, an independent non-governmental organization based at George Washington University, brought the original White House e-mail lawsuit (which included a wide range of scholarly, library and public interest co-plaintiffs) against Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. That lawsuit produced landmark rulings in the early 1990s that e-mail had to be treated as government records. Those rulings led to the preservation of more than 30 million White House e-mail messages from the 1980s and 1990s.
