Barbara Boxer For President
About the Author
If you do remember that Barbara was the ONLY Senator who voted against the Iraq War then I need you in this group!
I had a nice Fourth of July and I hope you had the same.
It's been a slow Political week.
Charlie Cook Has just released new House Ratings. There has been a big shift these from Just July 19th. Though Cook has not touched the Democrats Ratings, he has put 21 new republicans into the list of competitive seats and has moved 2 GOP Districts in New York from Tossup To Leaning Dem as well as one Lean GOP to Tossup and 3 Likely GOP to Lean GOP. As a student of Politics I know that Cook Does not just put 21 seats in to his ratings. The GOP back lash in the House could be Massive. 78 GOP held seats are now Considered Competitive (4 Lean Dem, 18 are Tossups) to only 35 Democrats (Only 7 are tossups none Lean GOP.
This hits Close to home for me. One congressman who was added (as Likely GOP) was Dana Rorabacher (Cringe), my Rep. My district's PVI is only R+6. Rorabacher won by 23 Points. It is looking More and More like that Margin will be squandered to perhaps as little as 5-6 Points. Though I am doubtful Rorabacher will be defeated, it is still possible. He is running against a popular Mayor (Debbie Cook, No relation to Charlie Cook) and I will do all I can to see this scum bag Defeated in November. So I am asking you to join me in a sense. If you live in a district where you have a scum-bag Incumbent like Dana Rorabacher, And your district is Rated by Charlie Cook (Or CQ, Or Stuart Rothenberg) try all you can to help get them out of office.
Debbie Cook For Congress in California's 46th CD !!!
Democrats For the House !!!

I've been looking at a bunch of Data for the election and I have found something interesting. It is my theory that Obama should be the rightful winner of Indiana and California. In California Obama won at the polls but due to early voting (when Clinton was way ahead) he lost the state. In Indiana Republicans causing mischief caused Obama to Loose. the GOP was 10% of the Voting Population and Clinton won 54-46. Had it not been for them causing mischief not only would the % of GOP in the Voting Pop be smaller, but Obama would have carried it. thus Clinton's 14,000 Vote Margin would have been about a 30,000 Vote Margin For Obama had the GOP not interfered. I Find this Interesting but pointless by now.

I have recently been reviewing the constitution and Supreme Court Cases. I think I have found something Big. The 2ed Amendment has today been reviewed and stands such that every person in the nation has the right to own a gun. It is My belief , siting the 14th Amendment's "equal Protection" Clause and Brown V. The Board of Education, that this interpretation of the 2ed Amendment is Unconstitutional.
Plessy V. Furgison has been overturned, which means the days of "separate but equal" are also over. a Law can be overturned on the clause that it is "Inherently unequal". Gun Violence Kills more people in the "Ghettos" (mostly Black neighborhoods) than in rich suburbs (Mostly white Neighborhoods). Therefor more African Americans and Hispanic Americans are Subject to Gun violence than white Americans. Poor people are more Subject to Gun Violence than Rich People. Therefor the Courts new view on the second Amendment is a flat contradiction of the Fourteenth Amendment.

I know many of you stand behind Harry Reid, but for 3 Years all we have seen from him is Spinelessness and inaction. He caved on Torture, He Caved on the Justice department, He caved on Mukasiee, He caved on Iraq Financing, He caved on Kyl-Leiberman, and He's about to cave on Telecom Immunity. Partially because of him our Fourth and Eighth amendment rights have been desolated. he is not a liberal champion he is a squid. in 2009 we need him out of party leadership in the senate.
I suggest Russ Feingold to fill his spot. Russ Fiengold was the only senator to vote against the Patriot act, He had the Judgment not to lead us into war, he voted against the military commissions act, he has been the senate's most vocal critic of Bush and his raid on the constitution, and he is planning on a filibuster to protect our fourth amendment. That is the leadership we need in the Democratic Party.
Russ Fiengold for Majority leader 2009.

I think what Obama said in 2006 and is now being attacked for by James Dobson is right. In the Buddha's last speech he said wise men should not argue about problems that can't be solved. I consider my self a Buddhist Ignostic (Ignostic with an I not an A there is a big difference) and I think all of the five major Religions have good intentions but at the same time divide us. the first amendment assures that all people have the right to choose their own faith. we are not a Christian nation, and if we become a Christian nation America will loose all of it's greatness (not because of Christianity but because of the First Amendment). I think I speak for all Buddhist, Hindus, Muslims and People of the Jewish faith when I say that in the passed seven years this country has Taken steps that dance on the line of Infringing our first Amendment right. Gay rights, Creationism and Abortion are issues that are argued mostly from a standpoint based on religion. If we outlaw those (which we have taken steps toward doing) we will no longer be a secular nation, we will be a Christian Idealocracy. we need to preserve Americas greatness by getting religion out of politics.
I have just rated and Predicted the Presidential election and Ran Down 5 swing States. My findings are here
Yesterday I had my first $5 a gallon sighting. It was at a shell in Garden Grove and was for Diesel #2. The Regular was something like $4.70. Just a few weeks ago Prices here were only starting to flirt with $4. What drove prices up nearly $0.80 a gallon? It was Israel.
Two major officials from Israel have said something to the effect of "war with Iran is inevitable". in Order for Israel to go to war with Iran the US would have to approve it. The US controls the Iraqi air space, and Israel needs to fly over Iraq to get to Iran. In effect if Israel goes to war with Iran so do we.
let's pray (and I'm not even monotheistic) that this does not happen within the next 7 months. George Bush would gladly Approve of it and try to add us to the equation. We could loose another 10,000 if we go to war with Iran. If Israel Tries to go to war with Iran between now and January, god help us all (once again I'm not even Monotheistic).
This is among the most Important issues facing the 2008 race. McCain would go to war with Iran !!! If Lieberman is his VP and they win, there is no doubt in my mind that we would be at war with Iran within the first 6 months of the new administration. McCain has already joked about it in a manor most disgusting and unspeakable. He has nearly said as much as "we will go to war with Iran".
Obama has said he will meet with Mamud Amack Nadinijad, and treat war as a last resort. He Opposed the first wrong war and will oppose the second. He voted against the Kyl-Lieberman Amendment. We can Trust him on this.
So to anyone considering voting for McCain, Do you want another 10,000 dead in a war that should have never been?

I made Estimates a while ago on what Bob Barr would need to get to help Obama in the south. these numbers are in flux so here they are as of today. In parentheses is the percentage he is getting right now. (*-Obama is in the Lead):
AL- 23% (6%)
AR-17% (8%)
FL*-1% (N/A)
GA- 7% (6%)
IN*-1% (N/A)
KY-12% (N/A)
LA- 9% (3%)
MS- 9% (3%)
MO*-1% (N/A)
NC+- 6% (4%)
OK- Denied Ballot Access
SC- 6% (N/A)
TN- 16% (N/A)
TX- 13% (N/A)
VA*- 1% (N/A)
WV- 21% (13%
+-in my Estimation Obama is Taking North Carolina, But no polls indicate that yet.
Watch these Numbers.

I have just Rated the 2008 Governors Races. The Democrats have a large Advantage. We would need to loose 4 Seats to get under 25 (which only means something on paper), Right now only two are at risk. We are likely to Pick up 1 and another 1 leans Republican, but it's early yet. Here are my Ratings.
