Hello on this Monday, January 14, 2008. I'm Kristin Volk with a UPI Headline Update.
The top GOP White House hopefuls are making last-minute efforts to win over Michigan voters before tomorrow's primary there. The most recent polls show former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney in the lead over Arizona Senator John McCain. Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee is currently in thi
rd place. Romney, who's a Michigan native, has spent $2 million in ads for Michigan...the most of any of the candidates. He and his rivals are focusing on the state's economic concerns, trying to ease fears and convince voters the situation can be improved. On the Democratic side, the issue of race
is heating up between presidential hopefuls and Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Yesterday, Clinton accused Obama of distorting what she said last week to Fox News about the 1960s U.S. civil rights movement. Some have interpreted what Clinton said as giving U.S. President Lyndon Johnson m
ore credit than Martin Luther King for advancing the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Obama responded to Clinton's claim saying it was quote ludicrous, but said the former first lady had offended some Americans with her comment. Peace talks between Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President
Mahmoud Abbas could begin as early as today. The two agreed yesterday to authorize discussions. The announcement comes three days after President Bush visited Israel and the Palestinian territories to promote peace efforts. The core issues that still need to be worked out include Israeli settlement
s in the West Bank, the right of Palestinian refugees to return to Israel, and the future status of Jerusalem. Meanwhile, President Bush is in Saudi Arabia today to garner support for the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. He's also encouraging U.S.-led efforts to contain Iran on his Middle East tour
. Bush is asking his Arab allies to provide diplomatic and financial backing to Palestinian leaders who are negotiating with Israel. The President will make a stop in Egypt tomorrow before returning to Washington on Wednesday. Thanks for watching today's headline and check out upi.com for more of y
our daily news and updates.

So Romney wins in Michigan? Just Who won the Democratic side? The pretty number one boy of a former governor of that state polls well, well DUH. Whoever won the Democratic side isn't any kind of a native son, and yet the corporate traitors of the media make a big foxnews smelling deal about romney. That's because the mainstream media just like mitt romney have an ingrown stink of big business. Diebold is just around the corner

Since the U.S. went ... ( 7 months ago by meforbes2007)

Since the U.S. went bankrupt in 1933, all new money has to be borrowed into existence. All states started issuing serial-numbered, certificated "warehouse receipts" for births and marriages in order to pledge us as collateral against those loans and municipal bonds taken out with the Federal Reserve's banks. The "Full faith and Credit" of the American people is said to be that which back the nation's debt. That simply means the American people's ability to labor and pay back that debt.

In order to catalog ... ( 7 months ago by meforbes2007)

In order to catalog its laborers, the government needed an efficient, methodical system of tracking its property to that end. Humans today are looked upon merely as resources - "human resources," that is.
Governmental assignment of a dollar value to the heads of citizens began on July 14, 1862 when President Lincoln offered 6 percent interest bearing-bonds to states who freed their slaves on a "per head" basis.

This practice of ... ( 7 months ago by meforbes2007)

This practice of valuating humans (cattle?) continues today with our current system of debt-based currency reliant upon a steady stream of fresh new chattels to back it.

Bush is planning an attack on Iran right now as he tours the mid-east. But all you robots keep voting for the same shit over and over yet say you want "change". Is it "change" to want more death(abortion,war)? Is it "change" to let the gov tax us out of our homes/biz? GET A CLUE all you holier than thou sheep! Vote for INTEGRITY and the Constitution! For God's sake, RON PAUL!!!

Funny. The left and ... ( 7 months ago by namordecai)

Funny. The left and the right supported it. I guess you're smarter than ALL of them. The only problem is that more people than expected signed up for subsidies. Regardless, it's still a brilliant plan that NO ONE had done before. It just needs more tweaking. ALL of those people who now have affordable healthcare SUPERIOR to gov't coverage are reasonably happy. Now if you spend-crazy legislature can be more responsible, you can afford to cover them.

No good has ever come from masses of people trying to be politically correct. Look at North Korea, Vietnam or Cuba. Obama is the fad and politically correct created and promoted by CNN, CNBC and Oprah.
