Talk’s Cheap, Let’s Race! by Stump Connolly explores what it takes to win a presidential election in 2008. In today’s society the internet is now the pulling force for political campaigning, and who better to examine each candidate’s campaign than the first internet-based political commenter himself. The chief political correspondent of The Week Behind gave freewheeling coverage of the Bush-Kerry race of 2004 that informed, delighted and confounded his Internet fans. His breakthrough 1996 internet column titled “STUMP, A Campaign Journal” and his documentary “Road to the Presidency” gave this author the highest praise during the Clinton campaign.
Dr. X.M, author of Faith and Politics of America, analyzes each political issue in the context of the Bible and attempts to determine the most Christian position. The 2004 election indicated a shift in American politics; a return to moral values as a basis for electing our representatives. But the issue is whether America chose the correct party and which had the highest morals in mind? Dr. X.M explains that to fully adhere to religious teachings both parties have a long way to go. In publishing his many articles, Dr. X. M has relied primarily on two tools—the Bible and the Internet—to watch the many years of political leaders rising and falling.
Using the Declaration of Independence as a touchstone, We Still Hold These Truths by Ron Hirsch examines nine key areas of domestic and foreign policy to define "an American manifesto," a positive vision for the Democratic Party. It reclaims the moral bona fides of the Democratic Party and shows why the direction of the Bush administration and the radical Republican conservatives are destructive to historical values. Ron Hirsch, a graduate of Brown University and the University of Chicago Law School, has developed position papers on a wide range of social policy issues, seen first hand the powerlessness of the poor, helped create social service projects that involved thousands of lawyers, and authored three groundbreaking works on the legal profession.
