I was wrong to follow the meanness of Conservatism. I should have been trying to help people instead of take advantage of them. I don't hate anyone anymore. For the first time in my life I don't hate somebody. I have nothing but good feelings toward people. I've found Jesus Christ - it's that simple. He's made a difference. This is Lee Atwater's deathbed confession after he had called Bush Democratic opponent Michael Dukakis to apologize and ask for forgiveness.
[Helen Gahagan Douglas] found a more meaningful role as a plucky politician who defied McCarthyism and broke the gender barrier. A celebrity Democrat, she cleared the path to Washington for Republicans Ronald Reagan, George Murphy, Shirley Temple Black and Sonny Bono. "To be the first Hollywood personality making a foray into national politics was daring," writes [Sally Denton]. "To be the first female movie star to do so was audacious." Audacious and vivacious, Douglas was one of nine women in Congress when she took her oath of office in 1945, almost 40 years before Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters and Dianne Feinstein. In 1950, she became the first woman in California history to run for the U.S. Senate. She was defeated by a hungry young congressman named Richard Nixon in a ...

But if McCain loses, he will have contributed to his own downfall by failing to live up to his personal standard of honor.
Con el abandono de Karl Rove, la Administración Bush pierde una de sus mejores cartas políticas. Para bien o para mal, fue Rove el que cimentó el advenimiento del presidente George W. Bush en la escena política norteamericana desde su inicio en Texas hasta su culminación en la Casa Blanca en el 2000. Y fue también Rove quien produjo el decaimiento inminente del Presidente desde las elecciones intermedias de 2006 hasta hoy. Por mucho, Rove fue el gurú político de Bush. Históricamente, los personajes de lapolítica en el mundo se rodearon de individuos inteligentes, conocedores de cuestiones sociales, económicas, psicológicas y del gobierno.
