"We are One" is the essence of Bhagavad-Gita in one line, which reveals the spiritual secrets to achieving worldly peace and prosperity. We are reminded every year of the gruesome human tragedy that faced this planet earth on September 11, 2001.

Every one of us, every rational thinking person living on this planet, has some unanswered questions that jolt our consciousness regarding the scale of hatred for fellow human beings.

Sarah Palin: Not Your Typical Work At Home Mom!

no@spam.com (Bruce Lipski) — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:58:06 MST

If there is one thing Sarah Palin is not it is that she is not a work at home Mom. In this day and age where more and more women are trying to find ways to work from home so that they can spend more time with the kids, Sarah Palin is one step away from uprooting her whole family and moving to Washington.

One of the silliest arguments against her that I have heard is that she has no family values.

Possible effects of the Presidential Candidates on the future economy of the United States

The likelihood of John McCain`s administration being isolationist leads to a dangerous overweighting in favour of the military industrial complex at the expense of trade with the rest of the world and the inability of the US electorate to recognize this danger in time to promote either Clinton, the social and sociologically aware, or Obama, the statesman, to the White House.

As Election Day approaches, one of the most publicized presidential races of the past several decades has captivated the minds of people around the world and set records for participation in the US democratic primary system.

Wake Up Democrats (Part 2)

Let's continue with more Democratic "hopefuls" for the 2008 Presidential election. None have announced that they will seek election, but don't be surprised if they do.

U.S. Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana: He is the Son of former U.S. Senator Birch Bayh. Evan Bayh was a possible running mate for Al Gore in the 2000 election. Senator Bayh is from the right part of the country and is a moderate.

Wake Up Democrats (Part 1)

For two of the past two Presidential elections, the Democrats have miserably failed to produce a viable candidate who could sway the entire United States. Instead of complaining about how bad the next three years will be, Democrats now have the opportunity to produce a viable "front runner." It really shouldn't be that hard to find a candidate who can identify with the American people.

Opinion: Leading presidential candidates stumble in polls

Horserace Journalism: It's been a rough month for some of the presidential front-runners in Iowa, according to new polls of the caucus contests.

Democrats Hillary Clinton and John Edwards saw their support drop. So did Republicans Rudy Giuliani and John McCain. Among the leading contenders, only Democrat Barack Obama made gains.

Republican Mitt Romney, who has been running a good campaign in Iowa, has inched into the top tier of his party's candidates by finishing third. Potential candidate Fred Thompson is close behind.

No Breakout Candidate at Democratic Debate

no@spam.com (Politic Now) — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 13:25:40 MST

April 26, 2007 — If you were looking for big fireworks or a knockout punch in the first Democratic presidential debate of the 2008 election cycle, you will no doubt be somewhat disappointed tonight. No one candidate seemed to dominate the field.

Though much of the coverage of the race thus far has been through a "Clinton vs. Obama" frame, the front runners were just two of eight candidates on the stage, and each got their chance to make their case. In fact, it was the two most unknown candidates representing the far left wing of the Democratic Party — Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and former Sen. Mike Gravel, R-Alaska — who created the relatively little heat on the stage.

"And I got to tell you, after standing up with them, some of these people frighten me — they frighten me," said Gravel about his opponents.

Iraq dominated more time than any other single issue, as the presidential hopefuls continued to differentiate themselves on the subject in what have now become familiar ways to the Democratic activists who have been closely following the campaign.

"I am proud that I opposed this war from the start," said Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., before pivoting to his support for a phased withdrawal plan.

"If I knew then what I now know, I would not have voted that way," said Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., in her usual refrain..........

Obama, Clinton accuse Giuliani of stoking fears & harmful rhetoric

The responses are starting to come in from the Democratic side to Rudy Giuliani's suggestion that the nation will be safer from attack if a Republican is elected to the White House in 2008:

"Rudy Giuliani today has taken the politics of fear to a new low and I believe Americans are ready to reject those kind of politics," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., says in statement e-mailed to reporters this morning.

The Democratic presidential candidate continues: .............
