CIA Tapes

New York Times: Reports that a Judge at the Federal Level has turned down a request that he hold a hearing in to the destruction of the now well known CIA Tapes. The NYT wont be happy, they see this as another Watergate, they hate the Bush Administration so much they want Terrorists treated as if they are common criminals. The CIA was right to destroy the Tapes, National Security should always come first, the protection of CIA Agents should always be the first order.

The Nation - Liberal Bible

The Nation: The bible of the left is not happy, no one seems to match their need to lose elections. LBJ once said if you had a grandmother with one eye you don't show her to the public, think The Nation and you get the idea, out of Iraq, tax the rich, etc, the loony tunes of the left, God help us ( they wont like that either !! ). Makes one almost vote for Hillary Clinton.!!

Democratic Congress and Power Politics

USA Today: As with previous post this looks at the failure of the Democratic Congress to get what it wanted through, looks at how they failed and how the players, The Hill, The White House can work to get some work done in Washington D.C. Its an Election Year, I wont hold my breath.

Bush V The Hill

New York Times: An article that looks how Democratic Dreams from last year meet the reality of the Power of the Presidency. One feels the the NYT has the same problem as the Democratic Leadership, they trusted their own spin rather than looking how real power works on the The Hill. Even the Democratic Leadership has learned not to attack the President on Iraq, the NYT writes the following, " They will keep the pressure on over Iraq, though the speaker indicated that she might focus more on policy questions and less on money for troops. " In other words the Democrats don't want to be seen as weak on National Security in an Election Year. It would be ironic if the Democrats lost the White House because of the actions of a Democratic Congress.

New Hampshire Poll

USA Today/ Gallup Poll: The Firewall that was New Hampshire has gone for Hillary Clinton, Senator Obama and Senator Clinton are tied in the latest poll from the state. Here are the figures:

Obama 32 %

Clinton 32 %

The Edwards campaign is at 18 %, in other words Obama is the main challenge to Clinton. If Obama can win Iowa and N.H and then South Carolina it could be over for Clinton. It charisma v experience, hope v harsh politics. The War in Iraq has improved, the threat of terrorism has gone down, thus voters will consider a risk and vote for a less experience candidate because they want some hope for the future, a bridge to the 21 Century as a certain President once stated, who could that be? Think it was a certain President Clinton.

Clinton Dirty Pool Part Three

ABC News: Has an exclusive story that the Clinton machine will launch Web sites to attack Senator Obama. Do the good people of Iowa want that kind of candidate to win their sate and even worse win the Presidency. The true colours of the Clinton Machine is coming out, win at any cost, no matter the damage to the election cycle. This is move makes Richard Nixon look like a Liberal!! No wonder the Richard Nixon had praise for Bill Clinton when he meet him, share the same political view, destroy your opponent and win at any cost.

McCain Next President ?

New Hampshire Union Leader: Has an interesting article on the real challenge to Romney coming from McCain in N.H not Huckabee. Early in the Campaign McCain was the front runner, can he do a Clinton and come back, as George W. Bush did in South Carolina in 2000 when McCain beat him in N.H. Politics and Xmas what fun!!!
