| Electoral Votes, John McCain & Painting New Mexico Red | | 2008-08-11 20:34:23 | | THE GOP VOTEIf you look at the Electoral Vote Count for Sunday, August 10, things give Barack Obama a 53 point lead. If it weren't for the blue of Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado things would look rather well for the GOP, in fly-over country. It is as though there are two different countries. I'm still not all that certain we are going to lose Virginia. Nevada and Colorado are interesting. Nevada hasn't had a good poll in a month. New Mexico is listed blue but will end up going red.

| | Rothman votes againt further Iraq War spending | | 2008-06-20 14:28:00 | | U.S. Rep. Steve Rothman, D-Fairlawn, a vocal member of the Out of Iraq Caucus, opposed further funding for the war in Iraq if it is not linked to the safe redeployment of U.S. troops out of Iraq. The congressman issued the following statement about his vote:“Tonight, I voted against a $165.4 billion funding bill for the war in Iraq. At a time when Americans are facing rising food costs, higher prices at the pump, home foreclosures and failing roads, sewers and bridges, it is irresponsible to continue to misuse our military forces, and misspend our finite U.S. tax dollars to continue to police the Iraq civil war. With no clear end in sight, estimates show that the war in Iraq could ultimately cost the United States up to $3 trillion. The Department of Defense is spending an estimated $10.3 billion a month on operating costs in Iraq — while here at home our economic resources are exhausted.“I will only support funding for the Iraq war if it is linked to beginning the immediate r... | | By: The Hudson Line Blog | | |
| | Rothman votes for Amtrak improvement funding | | 2008-06-12 13:05:00 | | He says energy crisis makes passenger rail more important than everU.S. Rep. Steve Rothman, D-Fairlawn, voted to continue federal funding for Amtrak over the next five years. Specifically, he supported legislation, the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act (H.R.6003), to provide $14.9 billion for Amtrak from Fiscal Years 2009 to 2013. That amount includes $4.2 billion set aside for capital grants that would largely support work to improve service for New Jerseyans and others who rely on passenger rail along the Northeast Corridor. The bill passed the House by a vote of 311 to 104.Describing his support for this bill during tight fiscal times, Rothman said: “With gas prices reaching over $4 per gallon, Americans need a national energy policy that balances immediate relief with a long-term goal of decreasing our dependence on foreign oil. I view investments in our national passenger rail system, especially the widely used Northeast Corridor, as a critical part of that plan.“A... | | By: The Hudson Line Blog | | |

Steve Rothman, D-Fairlawn, a vocal member of the Out of Iraq Caucus, voted against providing the Bush Administration with any new funding to prosecute its failed war in Iraq. Rothman has pledged to only support new funding for Iraq that is linked to the safe redeployment of U.S. troops out of Iraq. Rothman issued the following statement about his vote:"I remain resolute in my opposition to any new funding for the Bush Administration's failed policy in Iraq unless the money is for the protection and safe redeployment of our troops out of Iraq. Over 42,000 New Jerseyans in the Armed Forces and Reserves have been sent to Iraq since the Iraq War began. All of these men and women are courageous and have earned their country's deepest gratitude and respect. It is the American government's responsibility to bring our troops home. Our country must have a foreign policy that makes more sense than policing an Iraqi civil war for the next 100 years."Read more about Congressman Rothman's... | | By: The Hudson Line Blog | | |

| | McCain Votes Against Ban On Waterboarding | | 2008-02-14 17:42:40 | | While waterboarding is not torture, and I agree with his vote ... he has some explaining to do. Especially because of this exchange on waterboarding at the YouTube debate.This appears to be a way for McCain to try to show the conservative base that he will listen to them, and is a true conservative. In other words, he's trying to shore up support so we don't stay home on his ass.Think Progress:Mr. McCain, a former prisoner of war, has consistently voiced opposition to waterboarding and other methods that critics say is a form torture. But the Republicans, confident of a White House veto, did not mount the challenge. Mr. McCain voted “no” on Wednesday afternoon.He voted no on the Intelligence Authorization Bill which contained a provision from Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) that bans waterboarding.

| | | California Electoral Votes Imperiled Again? | | 2007-11-07 18:33:46 | | If you can't beat 'em then sneak in referendum so that you can...From the AP:Effort to apportion California's electoral votes raises $540,000SACRAMENTO—Republican donors have given about $540,000 to help qualify a ballot measure that could give the 2008 GOP presidential candidate a bounty of electoral votes from California. The group needs to gather about 650,000 valid signatures by the end of the month to qualify the measure for the June ballot. That effort will take at least $2 million, according to David Gilliard, who is managing the campaign. Gilliard said the campaign has less because it has been raising money for just 10 days. "A lot of the people on there are capable of contributing quite a bit more," he said. "They're also the types that are able to attract others." Darrell Issa, a wealthy Republican congressman from the San Diego area, gave $50,000, according to the fundraising report filed Tuesday with the secretary of state's office.

| | CA Electoral Votes to Be Split? | | 2007-08-01 08:03:58 | | From The New Yorker:Two weeks ago, one of the most important Republican lawyers in Sacramento quietly filed a ballot initiative that would end the practice of granting all fifty-five of California’s electoral votes to the statewide winner. Instead, it would award two of them to the statewide winner and the rest, one by one, to the winner in each congressional district. Nineteen of the fifty-three districts are represented by Republicans, but Bush carried twenty-two districts in 2004. The bottom line is that the initiative, if passed, would spot the Republican ticket something in the neighborhood of twenty electoral votes—votes that it wouldn’t get under the rules prevailing in every other sizable state in the Union.The Tuesday after the first Monday in June is California’s traditional Primary Day. But it’s not the one that everybody will be paying attention to. Five months ago, the legislature hastily moved the Presidential part up to February 5th, joining a stampede of state... | | By: Dyre Portents | | |

| | A Monday Rant - No Votes | | 2007-07-09 19:24:15 | | I need some help from you the reader. I am trying to understand why no one votes in our weekly poll that we put in the sidebar? Is it not funny? Is making a choice and clicking the “Vote” button just too much of a hassle? I mean I realize that last week was a little slow with only about 2,100 page views but the poll loaded on every one of those goddamn page views and we only had 37 votes. The real bitch of it is that I probably accounted for 10 of those votes.
If the poll is a bad idea we can get rid of it. I am not married to it or anything I just thought it would be a fun way for you the reader to interact with the site a little bit. If you have an idea for a poll that you think would work well on the site please email it to tastybooze@gmail.com and I will put it up.
Maybe for each new poll we should write a post introducing it to get your attention. Maybe there is something even better than a poll that I have never heard of. I don’t know.

| | After Bill’s Fall, G.O.P. May Pay in Latino Votes | | 2007-07-01 20:29:35 | |
LOS ANGELES, June 30 — Many Republican lawmakers returned to their home districts in triumph this week, having beat back a comprehensive immigration bill that many of their constituents had denounced as untenable.
But the bill’s demise may have greatly damaged the party’s ability to meet its enduring goal of attracting a large percentage of the growing number of Hispanic voters — thousands of whom are ostensibly in line with the party on a host of other issues, said many Republican lawmakers, consultants and Hispanic voters.
“There may be some short-term gain from this,” said Linda Chavez, who served in the Reagan administration and is now chairwoman of the Center for Equal Opportunity, a conservative public policy group. “But in the long term, it is disastrous for the Republican Party.”

Can the changes be what the PPP did, just like with the "over all tack rating", that they get to decide how many tack rating should a postie have, as the final score. So, perhaps it is the same thing. Anyway, I was kinda disappointed about my over all tack rating for a while until just the other day, it became 4. I was happy to see it go up. Now, I am more satisfied. However, the votes are down. Now, are you PPP posties out there are having it, too? Please share, if you don't mind. Okay, till next time.

| | Senate votes to study treatment of Germans during World War II | | 2007-06-09 17:14:17 | |
WASHINGTON (AP) — In 1943, 17-year-old Eberhard Fuhr was taken out of his high school classroom in Cincinnati, arrested by FBI agents, and sent off to an internment camp for “enemy aliens” in Texas, where he spent the next 4 1/2 years with his family.
Thousands of Germans experienced a similar fate. They were detained in far fewer numbers in this country than Japanese.
The stories of the Germans have gotten little attention so far, but the Senate took a step toward changing that this week, voting to look into the treatment of Germans and other Europeans in the U.S. during World War II.
The legislation’s status is uncertain because it was passed as an amendment to the immigration bill, which stalled in the Senate this week.
Still, just getting a vote on the issue was an accomplishment for Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., who represents a large German population. For the last six years, a hold placed by an anonymous Republican senator had kept it from coming up for a vote... | | By: TexasFred's | | |

| | Afghan government votes to deny justice to victims of war crimes | | 2007-02-03 02:09:00 | | Afghan Council Urges War Crimes AmnestyKABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Parliament has voted for an amnesty for leaders accused of war crimes during a quarter-century of fighting, arguing that it would help heal the deep divisions in Afghanistan. The amnesty resolution, passed in the lower house Wednesday, covers the mujahedeen leaders who led the resistance against the Soviet occupation of the 1980s and later turned their weapons on one another, plunging the country into civil war. Lawmaker Sayed Mustafa Kazmi, who backed the resolution, said it was aimed at fostering national unity. But rights activists have called for Afghanistan's factional leaders and warlords to face prosecution for the massacres and torture they allegedly committed in their struggle for power, especially during the 1992-96 civil war. Only justice, the rights advocates say, will heal the wounds of Afghanistan's traumatic past. But justice for the warlords would come at a political price. Several of the accused hold prominent positions in parliament and in the government of U.S.-backed President Hamid Karzai, who has shown little enthusiasm for charging them with war crimes. The resolution called for ``respect and honoring those who have participated in the holy war and resistance.'' Taliban and other militants who have laid down their weapons and joined the government should also be pardoned, it said. The United Nations reacted coolly to the amnesty. For national reconciliation to succeed ``the suffering of victims must be acknowledged and impunity tackled,'' the U.N. mission in Afghanistan said. ``No one has the right to forgive those responsible for human rights violations other than the victims themselves.'' The resolution follows a report from New York-based Human Rights Watch calling for Afghan officials - including Vice President Karim Khalili and Army Chief of Staff Abdul Rashid Dostum - to face trial before a special court. Human Rights Watch also listed Energy Minister Ismail Khan, p... | | By: Agathon Rwasa | | |
