New form, the same scam

Are you familiar with the Nigerian Scam? You should be aware of its newest form:
CONFIDENTIAL/URGENT POLITICAL PROPOSAL
Dear Sir
First we must solicit your confidence in this issue. This is by virtue as being utterly confidential and “top secret”.
We are SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON, the wife of the former United States head of state, PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON, and […]
One side effect of long campaign
Rogel @ May 5, 2008 # No Comment Yet
Ideally the election process should help voters make an informed decision. The process should expose the different candidates, their experience, values and agenda. In reality the candidates try to disguise their real agenda, and to smooth problematic issues, in order to appeal to as many voters as possible.
I was, naively, hopping that the long primaries […]
Choices

The new release of, once classified, documents is a reminder that Presidents can be sane, skillful and avoid being dragged into conflicts all over the world. But instead of a President that will follow the footsteps of Eisenhower that ended the war in Korea and avoided getting involve in Vietnam (or anywhere else), we are […]
Large crowed at Ron Paul’s book signing
Rogel @ April 28, 2008 # 3 Comments
I decided to dedicate my lunch break today to Ron Paul’s book signing which was around the corner from where I’m working. I thought that the half hour lunch break will be sufficient and that I can grab something to eat later. How little did I knew.
As soon as I stepped into the store one […]
Another explanation
Rogel @ April 24, 2008 # No Comment Yet
Here is another, very compelling, explanation for my question from yesterday:
Look at the blogs. This just amazes me. These people know the issues better than the journalists covering the campaign. While the journalist are fixated on the presidential horse race the Ron Paul masses are chewing on why the government does what it […]
Interesting results
Rogel @ April 23, 2008 # 3 Comments
The big story from yesterday’s Primaries voting in PA is obviously Clinton’s victory. However I was looking with interest at the GOP Primaries’ results. It was expected that Ron Paul’s percentage will be higher, due to less general interest among GOP voters, and therefore the 16% were not surprising. What is surprising, however, is that […]
The things one can learn from looking at political campaign
Rogel @ April 22, 2008 # No Comment Yet
It is very hard to predict from how one run a political campaign the way they will be once in office. Even if most of the things being said and promised on the campaign trail are sincere, and usually they are not, the realities of the limited abilities and political constraints forces compromises and changes […]
Participation is the key
Rogel @ April 21, 2008 # No Comment Yet
Sometimes history is being written by the losers….
The political game is usually decided by those who participate, and when Libertarian start participating seriously they will start effecting. Participating will involve also compromising, but this is not always a bad thing.
Why did they deny?
Rogel @ April 11, 2008 # No Comment Yet
I don’t know what to make of this: One of Obama’s campaign spokesman denied official connection between the campaign and a hebrew blog named “The Barack Obama Blog”. One of the comments for the report, and the denial, is from no other than the editor in chief of the blog platform that host this blog […]
