Bush Is Wired now on CNN

It is fascinating that an Internet conversation about Bush using a transmitter and earpiece to receive prompts during public appearances and particularly the debates, is now being covered by CNN. It was in every HNN newscast yesterday. The ability of grass-roots conversations to erupt into the consciousness of corporate news organizations shows a growing strength of conversations on the Internet. Or should I say, of "the Internets". Yes, I'll join in the howling over Bush saying that during the last debate. If he was wired, and still said "Internets," something went wrong.

This is a list of some funny Bush video moments. This one is particularly funny,
"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

Debates and Spin

On Chicano.org You can vote about who won the debate last night . This is not a scientific sample, and there are only four votes at this time (5 counting mine), but it is a good, healthy internet latin@ involvement at the grassroots. It is informative to read the postings about the debate. (Go to the end of the article) Spin is in our hands if we become involved, Raza.

Thoughts before the Debates

When I was in Spain and Germany, it was bolstering to my convictions when I saw US politics from across the ocean. Most with whom I spoke fear the US greatly. Others find it is a sign of a lack of morality in the American people that Bush could possibly be re-elected.

We have to keep working, getting one vote at a time, in order to strenghten democracy. A good sign for democracy is the overturn of that part of the the "Patriot" Act. that FBI uses to acquire info from telephone and Internet without telling us.

In true form, Ashcroft does not see infringement of our rights as dangerous to our society. "We believe the act to be completely consistent with the United States constitution," he told reporters at talks with European Union officials in the Netherlands.

Also good news, Eisenhower endorsing Kerry!
