POPSHow Will Obama Govern What do you mean no Bush administration official will be prosecuted for torture? Such a president will lead future administrations who wish to violate human rights a signal that they probably will not be held accountable by the next administration. No prosecution would be a mistake.

POPSDavid Duke's Take on the Presidential Election This is from an NPR interview. Duke believes that McCain is a traitor to his race. I'm glad NPR conducted this interview. If we pretend that thinking like Duke's doesn't exist then we let it fester. When we expose these beliefs to the light of day we can start to counter them, to hold them up to scrutiny and attack them head on. Racial bias has been recently shown to exist. When people perceive an applicant to be black (from their resume) they perceive their qualifications as less than they do when the same candidate is perceived to be white. Affirmative action works to correct this very real problem.

POPSObama caves on the spy bill Great, get others to spy for you and then go to congress to give them immunity. No, I don't feel like my civil liberties are being eroded.

POPSClinton and the Gas Tax Holiday Doesn't sound like such a great idea to me. Keep the gas tax and add the windfall profits tax (how are you going to define windfall profits? Anyone subject to this will fight it.)
