According to the AP report and MSNBC the language in the memo is Canadian TV report and it’s not a direct quote. Also Hillary Clinton camp urged the Canadian TV to ignore the Obama’s anti NAFTA rhetoric and focus on the negative things about obama. As usual this is the way Hillary Clinton has been smearing against obama’s position on NAFTA and everything else . First she planted the question in Iowa. Then she Flip-Flopped on NAFTA while Bill Clinton Flip-Flopped on Iraq War.
A Buddhist Holy Man predicts that Hillary will never become US President . Therefore whoever is against Hillary Clinton can start celebrating from now on wards. Tell your friends , neighbors and organize parties and festivals , anything can make you happy America. All anti war , anti Hillary activists and whoever supports Obama , Edwards, and other candidates start organizing parties all over the country and around the world. This monk seems to guarantee 10000% , who made many predictions in the past and which became real in the past many many times.
Young Hispanics in Texas and all over the country are very open minded people who judge their candidates based on their behavior, honesty and ethics and moral values who is for change in America. Hispanics in Texas don’t have any bad or negative feelings against Blacks in America beside Hillary supporter’s smear campaign. Hispanics and Blacks in America get along with each other fine , mingle around with each other , dating each other , going out together and getting married to each other without any problem. The Hillary Clintons supporters are the one starting this smear campaign between the Hispanics and the Blacks, which is poisonous for our country and for our democracy just like Bill Clinton played the race card in the past.
In desperation Hillary Clinton goes negative against Obama. In the past hillary Clinton and her loving husband Bill Clinton played race card while she played gender card. In the past Blacks in America used to call Bill Clinton as a Black President, now they consider him as their enemy because of his negative , racial remarks about Obama . In order to get support from the southern democrats Bill Clinton played race card after the New Hampshire primary. However it back fired at him . The same thing will happen in Texas and Ohio, where there many moderate democrats and Independents don’t put up with this sort of nonsense anymore.
Bill Clinton supported , Introduced and signed NAFTA into a law.
Hillary Clinton supported the NAFTA in 2004 and in 1996. Then Hillary Clinton goes after Obama for putting out the Flyers and accused him as a liar saying "Shame on you Obama" . Why are you Hillary lying to America and to your own democrats , who helped you and your husband Bill Clinton to get elected. This is not a courtroom to spin around and deceive the American people and not telling the Truth about your self . You are dealing with real human beings, who are not politicians like you to get manipulated every single minute the way you wanted and distort the truth . First you and your husband Bill played race card , then played gender card. Nothing worked so far.
Hillary Clinton supported the NAFTA in 2004 and in 1996. During Clinton's 1996 visit to Texas, United Press International reported that she "touted the president's support for NAFTA." In her memoir, Clinton trumpeted her husband's "successes on the budget, the Brady bill and NAFTA." The Buffalo News reports that in 1998 she "praised corporations for mounting 'a very effective business effort in the U.S. on behalf of NAFTA.' " And last year, her lead Wall Street fundraiser told reporters that Clinton remains "committed" to NAFTA's "free" trade structure.
Rep. Tom DeLay failed to comply with House requirements that he disclose all contributions to a defense fund that pays his legal bills, the Texas Republican acknowledged to House officials.
He wrote officials that $20,850 contributed in 2000 and 2001 was not reported anywhere. Another $17,300 was included in the defense fund's quarterly report but not in DeLay's 2000 annual financial disclosure report -- a separate requirement.
Other donations were understated as totaling $2,800, when the figure should have been $4,450.
It was during that period that DeLay was the subject of several House ethics investigations.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger told a group of Spanish-speaking voters he opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants and defended his veto of a bill that would have granted driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
The governor, who has sometimes angered Hispanic interest groups with his comments on illegal immigration, said an amnesty program similar to the one the federal government undertook in the late 1980s would be ill-advised today.
"It just didn't work," Schwarzenegger said Tuesday. "It backfired big-time. It sent the wrong message: You come here illegally, and then we go and give you amnesty. So then, the next million come and they say, 'Hey, we get amnesty, this is really terrific.'"
Former vice president says there is no controversy over whether recent warming has been caused by mankind
Global warming is no longer a scientific issue, but a moral issue that mankind must confront now or face devastating consequences, former Vice President Al Gore said last night.
Gore compared the dangers of climate change with Nazi Germany's threat to Europe in the 1930s, likening those who ignore the threat of global warming to former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who attempted to stay Adolf Hitler's aggression by appeasing his territorial ambitions. Quoting Winston Churchill, he said procrastination is no longer viable and that humanity is entering a "period of consequences."
With the President facing his lowest approval ratings, the Dems prepare to roll out plans for 2006
An investigation that has mystified and captivated Washington for almost two years is scheduled to end this week, with the possibility of indictments of top Bush administration officials. The term for the grand jury investigating the CIA leak case expires on Friday, so Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald is expected to bring charges in the next few days.
Speculation has centered on I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the Vice President's chief of staff, and Karl Rove, President Bush's top political adviser. Republican Senator George Allen of Virginia said on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday that he expected administration officials who were indicted would resign, and he thought that would be "appropriate."
Two influential national Democrats say a party commission has not reached consensus on where the New Hampshire primary would fit into a redesigned Presidential nominating schedule in 2008.
Donna Brazile and Don Fowler said Friday the majority of the Democratic National Committee's 40-member Commission on Presidential Nomination Timing and Scheduling supports allowing as many as four states to share the early Presidential primary-caucus spotlight with New Hampshire and Iowa.
Former Vice President honored by Center for Health
and the Global Environment at Harvard Medical
School
New York--October 21, 2005--Former Vice President
Al Gore has been chosen as the recipient of the 2005
Global Environmental Citizen Award by the Center
for Health and the Global Environment at Harvard
Medical School.
"Al Gore's dedication to the environment has never
wavered," says Eric Chivian, MD, director of the
Center for Health and the Global Environment and co-
recipient of the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize. "He is one of
our nation's most knowledgeable and passionate
communicators about the urgent need to address
global climate change."
Former Vice President Al Gore put a little oomph in
his quest to get Comcast to carry his Current TV
network with a Philadelphia rally that drew 7,000
people.
Gore threw in an incentive to lure the crowd to
Dilworth Plaza Thursday night, within eyesight of
the 35th floor office of Comcast Corp. Chairman
Brian L. Roberts, the Philadelphia Inquirer
reported.
California's children deserve the best education. Teachers are the key. Entitled "Put the Kids First," Proposition 74 focuses on a simple question. Should a school board be able to more easily replace a teacher with a track record of poor performance?
Republicans and Democrats say yes. Both John Kerry and Al Gore called for reform of tenure systems that protect teachers at the students' expense. Addressing the Michigan Teachers Association in 2000, Gore argued for higher standards for teacher tenure, saying that school districts should act quickly to remove ineffective teachers from the classroom within the context of due process protections.
When 24-year-old Charleston native Conor Knighton first heard about Current, an independent news network for the 18- to 34-year-old audience, he knew he wanted to be a part of it. Already in Los Angeles pursuing an acting career, the 1999 George Washington High School and 2003 Yale University graduate discovered the channel during an audition for a completely separate project.
"I was fascinated by the idea," he said in a telephone interview. "Basically, I heard about them before they heard about me. Then about a month later, an audition popped up where I was able to go in and talk to folks from the network. I just stayed in touch with them over the next few months because I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of."
One year after the credibility of CBS News collapsed
over their use of fake memos against George W. Bush,
lame attempts to rehabilitate CBS seem to be
everywhere.
Dan Rather is now telling anyone who will listen that
after defending the report, then apologizing for it, he
now thinks it's true again. Al Gore is suggesting
Rather was demoted because the all-powerful White
House was angry. At a ceremony for the news and
documentary Emmy awards, ABC's Ted Koppel and
MSNBC boss Rick Kaplan scrambled like the King's
men reassembling Humpty Dumpty. But the eggy
mess remains.
Former President Bill Clinton dropped into Nashville yesterday to help turn a 75th birthday party for former Gov. Ned McWherter into an affectionate mini-roast.
"The first time I met him, I thought, 'I have just met my first redneck sumo wrestler,' " Clinton joked of the hefty McWherter.
Clinton's wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, joined in the fun by telephone. Former Vice President Al Gore was present in person, along with about 100 of McWherter's Cabinet members, financial supporters and family members.
The Democratic Party is at a crossroad. Never in the history of the party has there been a more urgent need for a "New-Centrist" form of leadership.
As one of only five Democratic governors in southern Republican `red' states, Governor Mark Warner has demonstrated that a moderate candidate who speaks to traditional American core values, can win elections and more importantly, can build consensus and govern successfully.
A Winner:
Governor Warner was elected in 2001 breaking an eight-year Republican reign on state government.At that time, Dr. Dennis Logue Jr., LC assistant professor of political science, said. "He set up the idea that Republicans couldn't govern."
During the 2001 election, voters gave the Republicans a 64-seat majority in the House of Delegates compared to the Democrats 34 seats. Two Independents pledged to caucus with the Republicans."Power-sharing is out the window," Logue said in reference to an agreement both parties had when the House was split more evenly.
