SCOTUS Guts McCain-Feingold Campaign Reform
By Denis Campbell
George Orwell was right. It took 25-years beyond 1984 but Big Brother got a Big Win today. In a typically ideological 5-4 decision worse than 1857’s Dred Scott, The US Supreme Court blew the call very badly and now the American consumer will be assaulted as never before with [...]

Look how the self-righteous are coming out of the woodwork to save their collective endangered backsides now that one of their own is in big trouble. John McCain led the charge calling on Alaska Senator Ted Stevens to resign from his Senate seat. Was that ‘Country First’ or ‘Save Me First,’ Senator?

While the Presidential contest gets the most press, the race for control of both houses of the US Congress and state governorships is equally critical to whoever becomes the new President. 60 in the Senate is such an important number because that is the number of votes required to halt/prevent crippling filibusters which [...]

About The UKProgressive
UK Progressive began during the 2008 US Presidential Campaign. It replaced two blogs: "Outside the Boundaries" (dedicated to US/UK Politics and Business) and "Fire the Guru!" an expose of charlatans in the Mind Body Spirit business. It was briefly known as The Vadimus Post from the Latin 'Quo Vadimus' or 'Where Are We Headed?'
We publish from a 19th century hilltop farmhouse in Monknash on the South Wales Glamorgan Heritage Coast. US-journalist Denis Campbell, based in The Netherlands and UK for 12-years is the publisher/editor. You can follow his live news feed on Facebook.com (Denis Campbell) and Twitter @UKProgressive.
