    Saddam Hussein’s political party is staging a comeback, and US military commanders are debating how far to accommodate it in Iraq’s coming constitutional referendum.
    While less tied than before to the ousted dictator, the Ba’athist movement has become an important channel for Sunni Arab political expression, say US officers, helping to promote voting in the October 15 referendum.
    But the New Ba’ath party, as military planners now call it, still flits between engagement in the US-backed (…)

    Give the man big points for chutzpa. Late last month at a speech in front of the National Convention of the NAACP, Republican Party Chairman, Ken Mehlman admitted that his party had indeed engaged in a 40-year racist “Southern Strategy.” In its conception, the idea must have seemed like bold political jujitsu to Mehlman’s speechwriters. After all, if you are chief apologists for the sinister Karl Rove as well as surrogate at the nation’s premier civil rights (…)

  • The New "Left" in Germany Jumps Another Hurdle
    21 August 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Victor Grossman, Berlin
    One big hurdle has been overcome; the election officials in all 16 German states have ruled that the new party "The Left" (or the "Left.PDS") is entitled to a place on the ballot in the key September 16th election. Some opponents of the new party had raised constitutional objections and even plan to go to court if necessary - but their chances are now much slimmer.
    The new party is a temporary sort of alliance - "sort of" because electoral alliances of two (…)

    In the fall of 2001, after an eight-month review of 175,000 Florida ballots never counted in the 2000 election, an analysis by the National Opinion Research Center confirmed that Al Gore actually won Florida and should have been President. However, coverage of this report was only a small blip in the corporate media as a much bigger story dominated the news after September 11, 2001.
    New research compiled by Dr. Dennis Loo with the University of Cal Poly Pomona now shows (…)

    "Alice laughed: "There’s no use trying," she said; "one can’t believe impossible things." "I daresay you haven’t had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." (Through the Looking Glass)

    Helmut Scholz is up for a fight - and the political establishment is running scared
    by Simon Tisdall
    Helmut Scholz is up for a fight - and the political establishment is running scared. The German left, he says, won’t be fooled again.
    Speaking in Berlin this week, the international coordinator of Germany’s insurrectionary new electoral phenomenon, the Linkspartei (Left party), said the country was in crisis and the main parties had no solutions.
    "We want to reattract people who have (…)

    Republicans Violate Own Policy By Paying Officials Legal Bills John Solomon August 11, 2005 Despite a zero-tolerance policy on tampering with voters, the Republican Party has quietly paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to provide private defense lawyers for a former Bush campaign official charged with conspiring to keep Democrats from voting in New Hampshire.

    By William Fisher
    In our country, we seem to revere only a few presidential speeches ? Waashington’s Farewell Address, Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s First Inaugural, John F. Kennedy’s “Ask Not”, and a few others.
    But I have to confess that, while I have written thousands of words about the Voting Rights Act of 1965, it has been many years since I actually listened to the words President Lyndon B. Johnson used to introduce this legislation.

    What Are They Afraid Of? The 9-11 Op-Ed the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Refuses to Run By Rep. CYNTHIA McKINNEY
    Note: It’s a shame that the Atlanta Journal and Constitution seems incapable of running factual coverage of important events for the people in the Atlanta area. Their coverage of our historic Capitol Hill 9-11 briefing, laden with commentary and innuendo, bore no resemblance to the content of the actual event. They refuse to retract that story—as I have requested them to do—or (…)
