a uniter not a divider i think he said during the campaign. didn't he? couldn't tell from kurtz this morning.
The Great Divide (washingtonpost.com) Two wars later, we're back to the old red state/blue state divide in America.
It's hardly unusual, as the presidential cycle heats up, for the Dems who want Bush's job to be painting him as a failure. But rarely is there such a perception gap, with the Dems portraying the prez as devious and semi-incompetent, while GOPers see a strong, moral leader who has stood up to terrorists. The war in Iraq, in this regard, is either a brilliant triumph over a brutal dictator or an unnecessary conflict sold on a Big Lie.
Take a CBS/New York Times poll from last month? Does Bush have strong qualities of leadership? 92 percent of Republicans, 66 percent of independents and 50 percent of Democrats say yes.
Cares a lot about the problems of people like yourself? 63 percent of Republicans say yes, compared to 25 percent of independents and 9 percent of Democrats.
Do his policies favor the rich? Only 25 percent of GOPers agree, compared to 56 percent of independents and 82 percent of Democrats.
That, friends, is a pretty polarized country.

iowa sure takes the civil war era seriously. besides all the reenactments going on around the state throughout the summer, there seems to be quite the fracas over the confederate flag.

DesMoinesRegister.com | Opinion The students who sued chose to focus on Michigan giving a 20-point edge, out of a possible total of 150 points, to undergraduate minority applicants. They could instead have griped that it also awards 20 points to an outstanding athlete or impoverished student. Is that unfair to rich students or non-athletes? What makes athletic considerations fair and race ones unfair?

Goodbye, Death Tax. Hello, Birth Tax! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the truly republican tax: The Birth Tax.

Russia Shutters Last Independent TV Station (washingtonpost.com) Boris Nadezhdin, a member of the Union of Right Forces party in the Russian legislature, called it "the last TV channel that ventured to criticize Russian leaders."
Echo Moskvy's editor in chief, Alexei Venediktov, said the closing of TVS gave the government a virtual monopoly on broadcasting. "It's like when all candidates are excluded from the election campaign, except for only one," he told the Interfax news agency
