Really interesting video. Recently Colin Powell on Meet the Press came out and very openly asked so what if Obama were Muslim? He went on to say what if there were a 7 year old Muslim American why should he not have that dream to be president one day? Any republicans want to comment on that? CNN did an article recently covering how Muslim Americans are reacting to the negative attention being directed at Muslims in this campaign.

Sajjad Bhai put it best when he commented on this incident (see post title).

Mr. 10% is now Mr. 110%

Community organizing is a bad thing?

This is a Must hear show Brian Lehrer did today yesterday on Wnyc. I wanted to call in and make the point that the public sector consists of both the government as well as non-profit agencies. Non-profits help cover ground that the government fails to reach. Many times non-profits refer people in need to government programs and resources that are not well announced. For someone like Giuliani who was our freaking mayor should know the importance and role of non-profits and community organizers. Pahlin and Giuliani want to seek the highest political offices but are unaware of who the government partners with to help the people. Then again these people aren’t looking to help anyone but themselves for a power grab.

Republicans Suck

I just saw the video they played at the Republican Party Convention which was filled with 911 imagery. Fear mongering is not going to get them to the white house. Most Americans are tired of that garbage. The rejection of Rudy Guiliani’s bid for the Republication nomination is proof that running on a 911 ticket will not get you there.

The last few days the impression that I (as an independent) have gotten of the republicans is that of power hungry, greedy, selfish, non-diverse, close-minded ignorant…. bs etc. I can go on and on.

There’s been over 300 arrests this week of protesters who have been charged with felonies. What was being American all about again?
