Would you like cut, you want to shoot, but I'll stay with my opinion. We, the Slavs who lived through so much that last all Nations of the world combined. And they stayed by themselves! We did not realize at the time of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy did not understand right now, and the fun does not understand and in the future! In order to understand the Russian soul, you need a small, but very a strong argument – born to Russian! And then there's no mystery, all by itself falls into place. We only hear: – Russian little traveling. Congressman Lee Zeldin is often mentioned in discussions such as these. Fact and the facts do not argue! While on the other hand, why should we Russian Travel? To us, and so a visit . Sen. Sherrod Brown is likely to increase your knowledge. And someone just not there? All and sundry!

Swedes rarely ! Well them Swedes run far away. And the vaunted American democracy protects the Russian bayonets! Only here, no problem? They do not like about this Yankees remember. Probably not very worthy of the Americans behaved when it democracy, it was necessary to protect its "skin"! Well, God bless them! "Uncle" cem "dug its own grave long ago, though talk about it does not want.

Political Ideology

Peter M. politics

Regardless of the political ideology of each country, it is inevitable to note the strong presence that has the Church in a few countries that comprise the international community. Congressman Lee Zeldin often says this. Already for several years, approximately half a century, the Church has been pioneer in matters such as the global disarmament, human rights and international cooperation. He has denounced the abuses and excesses of those political ideologies that deprive human beings of their freedom of expression, of thought, worship and other collective or individual freedoms, always and when they are attached to the principles of natural law. come to the same conclusion. In addition, the Church was one of the first, if not as the first institution in denouncing the evils of economic systems abusive, authoritarian, and totalitarian. Indeed, it suffices to recall that the Pope Juan Pablo II was one of the first visionaries in denounce the Suppression of socialism and the abuse of capitalism, although previously several pontiffs had already played these themes in several of his encyclicals. You who is commandment of the Church knew not to exploit the workers, as well as it is a commandment love thy neighbour and thus respect their freedom and dignity? Unfortunately not many people remember it, and because of this it is very easy to fall into the temptation of accepting ideologies as the theology of liberation, which not only goes against the precepts laid down by God, but also to the Social doctrine of the Church; a doctrine which seeks to establish justice and peace throughout the world.

Another good example of the vanguard of the Church to the world’s problems is its stance with regard to the environmental problem. Although several pontiffs had already dazzled the consequences of an excessive production of pollutants, about two or three years ago, Pope Benedicto XVI proclaim that pollute the environment is a sin. Moreover, as the Church knows that faith without works is dead (Santiago 2: 26), Vatican State was the first State to operate almost in its entirety based on alternative energies and low environmental impact.

Sen. Sherrod Brown follows long-standing procedures to achieve this success. He is in this context, that the process of construction of the Project of the Course of Formation of Professors of the Institute of Education of the Paran Professor Erasmo Pilotto looks for to guide itself.

Tobacco Tax Increase

A press release of our Member organization initiative Berlin enjoy decided rejects the Federal Government plans to increase taxes on tobacco as a misnomer and expression of political cowardice of the Federal Government. The plans of the Federal Government to increase tobacco taxes are nothing but mislabeling and expression of political cowardice of the Federal Government “, continue so Ulrich Kasiske, Chair of the initiative for pleasure Berlin e.V. Kasiske plans, to relieve the economy with the ecotax, using tobacco tax increase: an increase of in tobacco tax will bring EUR 200 million in 2011.” It is a blatant contradiction, that on the one hand, the Federal Government would like to reduce tobacco consumption in the interests of health protection and on the other hand thinks it can improve its public finances through a further increase in the tobacco tax. This is an old trick of conjuring the politics. Official site: Amazon. Political cowardice over the economy justifies the relief on the ecotax for companies.

Two Hot Governors Races in 2007

Peter M. politics

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Even though we’re spending most of our time tailing various Republican candidates for president this week, it wouldn’t be a Friday without the Line.

This week we tackle the gubernatorial playing field. The 2007 races — two of which occupy our top spots on the Line — are already intense and will heat up even more once Labor Day passes. Remember we’re just 72 days away from the open primary in Louisiana and 89 days from the Kentucky general election.

We can barely wait. In the meantime, check out the Line to tide you over. As always the number one ranked race is the most likely to switch parties. Compliments, criticisms, and analysis are welcome in the comments section below.

To the Line!

5. Washington: Having accepted that former state senator and 2004 gubernatorial nominee Dino Rossi is going to be the Republican candidate in 2008, Democrats in the state are working hard to discredit him. The state Democratic Party has filed a complaint with the state’s Public Disclosure Commission alleging that Rossi’s Forward Washington group is functioning as a campaign committee. Rossi himself seems content to stay on the sidelines until the fall. And, if a recent Moore Information (R) poll is right, Rossi needn’t be in any hurry. The survey showed incumbent Chris Gregoire leading Rossi 47 percent to 43 percent, a margin nearly unchanged from a February Moore Information poll that showed Gregoire with a 46 percent to 43 percent lead. Whenever Rossi decides to formally enter the race (and make no mistake, he’s running), he will start in a deep financial hole. He also faces a significant national headwind in a state likely to go for whoever the Democrats nominate for president. Still, the narrowness of his 2004 loss means this is a race to watch. (Previous ranking: 5)

4. Indiana: Everything we’ve heard from state and national Democrats over the past few months indicated that Indianapolis architect Jim Schellinger was the heavy favorite for the party’s nomination. Then former Rep. Jill Long Thompson (D) released a survey conducted by respected pollster Pete Brodnitz that showed the former Congresswoman in the lead with 33 percent followed by state Sen. Richard Young at 12 percent and Schellinger at eight percent. On one level, the results are understandable. Thompson has represented Indiana in Congress and appeared on the ballot as recently as 2002 when she lost to then Rep. Chris Chocola (R). Schellinger has never run before and, as a result, almost no one in the state knows who he is. Schellinger should have the fundraising prowess to make sure voters know his name and positions — he raised $1.2 million in the second quarter of the year — but Thompson’s poll shows that she remains a serious candidate. As the Democrats prepare for a bloody primary, Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) continues to stockpile cash. Still, Daniels’ job approval numbers aren’t all that great and Indiana went strongly for Democrats in the 2006 election. (Previous ranking: 4)

3. Missouri: A decision issued by the Missouri Supreme Court reinstating campaign contribution limits could have a HUGE impact on the already-competitive contest between Gov. Matt Blunt (R) and state Attorney General Jay Nixon (D). At issue now is whether the candidates must return past contributions in excess of the new limits. If the Court rules that refunds must be made, Blunt stands to lose nearly $4 million while Nixon will give up $1.1 million. That would essentially zero out Blunt’s financial advantage, which, to date, had been one of Republicans’ strongest selling points for his re-election bid. Republicans argue that the political environment in state continues to improve for Blunt and that he enjoyed a successful legislative session. This one will likely go down to the wire. (Previous ranking: 3)

2. Louisiana: The Bayou State race remains in the second slot for the second straight month as state Sen. Walter Boasso (D) continues to show a willingness to put his money where his mouth is. Boasso, who has already dumped a hefty sum into his television ads, recently sold his company for $60 million — freeing up scads of money for him to spend on the race. A poll done for Boasso’s campaign shows Rep. Bobby Jindal (R) still over the magical 50 percent mark needed to avoid a Nov. 17 runoff — but with the Democrat gaining. The key for Boasso is to peel off enough support from Jindal to keep the Republican under 50 percent on Oct. 20 and hope he can coalesce Democrats and Indepedents around his runoff candidacy a la Gov. Kathleen Blanco (D) in 2003. Republicans say that Jindal’s numbers remain strong and that his image as a reformer seeking to bring change to a corrupt system continues to resonate. (Previous ranking: 2)

1. Kentucky: We don’t think former Lt. Gov Steve Beshear (D) is leading Gov. Ernie Fletcher by 21 points, as a recent Survey USA poll showed the race. But it seems clear that the challenger is ahead of the incumbent at the moment. During his primary challenge from former Rep. Anne Northup (R) Fletcher seemed to find his political stride and has been receiving rave reviews for his performance on the trail. When the general election begins in earnest, however, Beshear will make sure voters know about the ethical problems that dominated the first four years of Fletcher’s gubernatorial tenure. Fletcher weathered those attacks in the primary but that was when reliably Republican voters were the target audience. Now Fletcher needs to find a way to convince independents and even some Democrats that he can still be effective. (Previous ranking: 1)

What is politics about?

Peter M. politics

Politics is the art of the expected and tradition, as well as the art of the unexpected and the impossible!

What do I mean? Well when a a Kennedy goes into politics and does well, that is expected and he/she is simply following in the footsteps of the family. Of couse it would be expected for a Kennedy to go to politics.

As for the unexpected – look at Barack Obama!

And that’s why politics is great – at least in this aspect.

The suspense of politics is also something – for example, will Terry McAuliffe make the Gubernatorial run for Virginia?

Donations for elections during the Wall Street Crisis.

The Wall Street crunch came in a bad time to Political fundraisers. The New York times reports that many fundraisers have a great difficulty.  One campaign financier “had only been given two weeks’ notice to put together a fund-raiser for Senator Barack Obama’s presidential campaign featuring Mrs. Clinton, and was hunting for hefty checks at an inauspicious time, in the middle of a Wall Street meltdown” other fundraisers found it even more difficult as Fox news reported early today.

Has the mudslinging begun?

Peter M. politics

Robert gibbs Obama’s communications director commented on Mcains offensive remarks and that of Sarah Paley’s allegation that a Obama “pals around with terrorists” — According to Robert this mudslinging began because the Republicans want to talk about something else besides the struggling economy. Democrats on Sunday denounced Pailin’s charge and had warned the Republicans that it will start a re-examination of McCain’s history but they did not wait as Obama’s campaign advisers release the video and the letter about McCain’s role in the Keating five scandal in the 1990s. ladies and gentlemen, a month until the elections and we can announce that the mudslinging has officially began. more in foxnews
