 (1 review) politics, washington-state http://www.thenewstribune.com/opinion/st... - In local politics, challenger Dino Rossi is criticizing Governor Chris Gregoire for not taking a state cut of Indian casino profits. Why would a conservative recommend making state programs dependent on a cut of gambling income? Making the state subject to pressure to make casino gambling even easier and more attractive? Maybe it's because the Republican Governors Association, which finances these ads, gets big donations from non-Indian gaming interests that see a benefit in tribal casinos losing some money -- and long-term gain in getting the state into the promotion of gambling.

- With John McCain pulling all positive, issue-focused ads to put all his remaining energy into attacks on Obama, we will need this bookmark.
From the page: "Senator Obama strongly condemns the violent actions of the Weathermen group, as he does all acts of violence. But he was an eight-year-old child when Ayers and the Weathermen were active, and any attempt to connect Obama with events of almost forty years ago is ridiculous."

- No wonder he's been acting as if he has imperial authority. From the page: "The United States has been in a declared state of emergency from September 2001, to the present."
"Of the 54 National Security Presidential Directives issued by the [George W.] Bush Administration to date, the titles of only about half have been publicly identified. There is descriptive material or actual text in the public domain for only about a third. In other words, there are dozens of undisclosed Presidential directives that define U.S. national security policy and task government agencies, but whose substance is unknown either to the public or, as a rule, to Congress."

- All good ideas -- now, HOW?
I agree it's time to take back our country from the corporations. The Great Bailout Disaster just proved that money talks louder than voters do. What do we do next?
Stop feeding the corporations. Buy from farmer's markets and small local businesses; barter with your friends and neighbors. Pull your money out of the bank and put it in a credit union. Organize a local co-op.
And refuse to be evicted.
Any other ideas?
