Hypocritical Republicans
"Whether it’s the right or the left, there’s always plenty of hypocrisy to go around when it comes to the opinion makers in the media. The objective is always to win the argument presented today, without regard for what has been done or said in the past," says Ron Shimshock of Freeople. So true! As promised, here is the second…
Hypocritical Democrats
Stephen Frank of the Ventura County Star writes, "Democrats believe a woman can not get a job unless government sets quotas.

Palin and McCain’s Shotgun Marriage
By FRANK RICH, Op-Ed Columnist, The New York Times, September 7, 2008
SARAH PALIN makes John McCain look even older than he is. And he seemed more than willing to play that part on Thursday night.

No improvement in EU-US ties under McCain, say Europeans
Europeans are convinced that relations with the US can only improve if Barack Obama is elected as the next US President on 4 November, while they expect no changes if Americans choose John McCain as their next leader, a new survey reveals.
