Is religion separate from why you vote for candidates?

admin @ July 30, 2007 # One Comment

Submitted by Mr. Michael Vass, a contributing author.
The separation of Church and State is one of the fundamental tenants of our nation. No one questions that. Yet in reference to the Presidential candidates there is no question that religion is linked to each of them. It may be most notable in the questions asked of […]

YouTube and Republican candidates

admin @ July 27, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Considering the overwhelming positive reaction that the YouTube debate has created, it is no surprise that questions for the Republican version of the debate are growing by leaps and bounds. The average joe wants to both be heard and get an answer to the questions they have and believe are important for the next President. […]

YouTube, Darfur, and a Democratic debate

admin @ July 25, 2007 # One Comment

Submitted by Mr. Michael Vass a contributing author.
Some may recall that I recently raised the question of what is happening with HR 180 IH. You may not recall the name it has in the House of Representatives, but it’s also known as Darfur Accountability and Divestment Act of 2007. This is one item of several […]

What was the best YouTube question at the Democratic debate

admin @ July 24, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Mr. Michael Vass is a contributing author.
I missed the Democratic Presidential debate last night, though I have heard a few comments about it. I’m wondering what were your favorite questions and answers?
I heard from one friend of mine that Senator Obama was asked what he would do for Blacks even though he was not “technically […]

What’s the spread on an Obama-Kucinich win?

admin @ July 24, 2007 # No Comment Yet

There are dozens of theories on which Presidential candidate will win and why. I’m sure you may have a pick already in mind. But how many are willing to put their money where their mouth is?
For those that are willing, Intrade.com gives them the opportunity. Think of this as a stock option, but reacting to […]

See which candidate matches your political position

admin @ July 23, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Here is a neat little tool that I found out in the ether. It’s a calculator of sorts. Basically you just plug in your positions on various political positions, and how strongly you feel, and it states which candidate you agree with most.
I doubt that this will be a major surprise in terms of which […]

What plans are for Iran and Iraq

admin @ July 20, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Mr. Michael Vass is a contribnuting author.
Well here is something that has me wondering. The Presidential candidates and other noted political figures have all made statements about the nuclear program in Iran. Let me correct myself, several of the candidates, not all. But the fact that any have commented is interesting.
This occurred at the press […]

Hidden agendas in comments on the candidates

admin @ July 19, 2007 # No Comment Yet

In discussing the Presidential candidates and the election in 2008 I have read large volumes on both sides of key issues. I have read the comments of pundits, bloggers opinions and facts they have dug up, and the comments and information on the candidates’ websites. Often there is conflicting information on the same issue, or […]

Hollywood fund-raising, Oprah style

admin @ July 18, 2007 # One Comment

Mr. Michael Vass is a contributing author.
Politics and Hollywood. These 2 go together like white on rice, and are separate like oil and water. It’s something that is a big deal if you have it, and not a big issue if you don’t. At least among pundits.
For those that are more Democrat, and/or liberal, Hollywood […]

Just don’t go on a tour boat with them

admin @ July 17, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Mr. Michael Vass is a contributing author.
For too long and to too many, politics has been a drab and tedious topic. Filled with individuals most wouldn’t want to talk to. Who are as likely to hold previous professions as car salesmen and lawyers as anything else. I don’t mean to insult the car salesmen and […]

Are Presidential candidates afraid to speak to some?

admin @ July 12, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Mr. Michael Vass is a contributing author.
What’s wrong with this – the National Education Association (NEA), NAACP, National Association of Latino Elected Officials (NALEO) all invited the Presidential candidates of both parties to speak before them, in each only one Republican candidate appeared. Why would that be?
While each group is considered ‘liberal’ that is not […]

The changing tides on Iraq

admin @ July 12, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Mr. Michael Vass is a contributing author.
I noticed an interesting observation today. For nearly a year there have been Democrats that have been calling for the retreat of our troops from Iraq. That’s not a new thing. For that same period of time the majority of Republicans have backed the President’s position. But now there […]

admin @ July 5, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Mr. Michael Vass is a contibuting author.
In the recent Democratic Presidential debate held at Howard University, an interesting question was brought up. What are the candidates going to do about HIV/AIDS. The question was posed to specifically address the fact that it is the leading cause of death for Black women age 25-34. But considering […]

First of all, […]

1 of 10 questions for Democratic candidates

admin @ July 2, 2007 # No Comment Yet

“Since our federal government has never failed to increase their original projected budget, or outspend that budget no matter how many times its been increased, why should we believe that you are going to lower the cost of health care if we let you manage that?”
This is a great question out of 10 made by […]
