The Hijacking of Primary Elections

By Lois Kaneshiki

I used to say that if you wait until the General Election in November, you are too late. The real contest is in the Primary, where the political parties, which are similar to private clubs, elect their candidates. Now I am going to assert that if you wait until the Primary Election, you may be too late already.

The Primary Election is where the party voters select their candidates by secret ballot. That's democracy, right? Well, it would be if that was… Continue

As all citizens should know by now, public opinion polls are very important political tools, which are otherwise of very little value to the world.

PSU panel to review all 'Climategate' e-mails

The Daily Collegian Online

"Climategate: Don't hide the decline" is written on the wall in the passageway under the Hammond Building by Fraser Street on Tuesday. Penn State is investigating if meteorology professor Michael Mann's research on the topic was ethical. Mann has stood by his research and what he and his colleagues have published.

From the Desk of: Steve Elliott, Grassfire Nation

The Senate vote on ObamaCare will happen before Christmas because the “hammer” is about to fall.

Details below.

The “hammer” is the new public option compromise being worked out -- again behind closed doors -- that puts the government-run public option plan under the direction of a “non-governmental board.”

As if we are to believe this is an… Continue

The case against military tribunals

It's a violation of the Constitution to use the panels without a declaration of war -- and just calling it a 'war' on terror doesn't count.

Sen. Barbara Boxer is trying to pull a fast one!

She wants to force her outrageous Boxer-Kerry cap-and-trade energy rationing and taxing scheme through the Senate Environment and Public Workers Committee this week, while the country is focused on health care. Sen. Boxer is even trying to force it through without the official EPA analysis of what's in the bill and how much it will cost.

It's bad enough to try to pass the biggest tax hike in history, hidden in what's supposed to be an environmental bill. But… Continue

The solution begins with a thorough audit of the Fed. But the Audit the Fed bill, HR1207 has been gutted in committee.

There is no such thing as an independent press

"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print.

"I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be… Continue
