POLITICS

A year from this month America will elect a new president. 

DEMOCRATS:While the Republicans are cooling down after taking jabs at one another back in September, the Democrats are following in the same sorry footsteps.  The most prominent mudslingers- Obama and Edwards, had made the vow to run a quote “clean” campaign at the beginning of the 2007.  However, politics have corrupted their innocent views, as Hilary Clinton is their target of choice.  Clinton response to the ongoing jabs is that Democrats should target Republicans instead of one another.

REPUBLICANS:As Republicans jab Hillary Clinton, already deemed 2008 Democratic candidate (hence the jabs taken at her by Obama and Edwards), Rudolph Giuliani is the esteemed 2008 GOP candidate.  With the support of a certain televangelist, Giuliani is proving to the GOP to be the quintessence of an old-fashion, stuck to his values, conservative.  We must keep in mind however; that Mr. Giuliani married is mistress.  Mitt Romney is facing a hard time keeping up to the front runner, being a Mormon and flip-flopping on abortion rights.  John McCain is once again running out of funds, a repeat of 2000.

PRESIDENT BUSH:

President Bush concluded that middle-class Americans are not to be hit with the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT).  Vowing to veto a bill that includes this tax, as the Congress left for Thanksgiving vacation.  Bush’s pick for attorney general, General Michael Mukasey, was sworn into the position this month.  The president ordered for nonessential maintenance projects at airports to be delayed, as workers gear-up for the Thanksgiving travel rush.  This motion will reduce air delays, freeing up the skies and airports, making holiday travel a bit less hectic.
