  • The Big Bailout...Ha!

    There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

  • Sore Winners—Just like the Bushies

    Although there has been much talk of all the celebrated “newcomers” Obama has inspired to become politically active, there is little media interest in examining how this new flood of “youthful enthusiasm” has transformed the tenor of acceptable political behavior and discourse in the Democratic Party. From questionable voter registration ...

  • MoveOn.org, Progressive Promise, John Edwards Affair…

    Looking over the MoveOn.org site, they seem to focus on their progressive promise of our country. What does that mean? Progressive Promise? Ever taken a good look at the progressive socialist movement? It starts out as the people’s party with the ideals of hope and change, the desire to save the country and the environment. And where does it end ...

  • Amazing that Americans Have This Discussion

    Having studied American civics in grade school and high school, and having my doubts that Bush Cheney or anyone else in our current White House similarly learned about American history, traditions, institutions and law, it continually amazes me that this Bush Cheney Presidency has run riot so egregiously. Congress? Lay down. The Courts? Lay ...

  • Great Review of Some Important Books . . .

    . . .

  • setting up the obama stage

    The curtain rises and there she is, standing under a single spotlight, center stage. She is very pregnant, just in time tor the polls to open, just in time to steal any last minute thunder McCain might offer. She is wearing a Jackie Kennedy hairdo and hat. WELL, it could happen, couldn't it?

  • Not an utterly pointless fight

    Webb's shouldn't have been concerned about hurting Jr's feelings. His concern was for his child and his disdain for an idiot war (chief) is valid and founded. Obama and the Demos need a few more with a Webb-like background in order to add some gravitas to a light party. We could stand to learn a few leasons about not letting stupid people push ...

  • Why Hillary will win, if the Superdelegates do their jobs

    The reason primary season is designed to last so long, if necessary, is because this isn't election day in November. This is a process that shows the change in perception as we expose our candidates, learn more about them over time, look at sensitivities amongst different demographics (and no, not all white people are racist) and different ...

  • Popular Vote Totals in Aggregate Mean Nothing...

    ... and Hillary Clinton is still due to become the Democratic Party nominee for the Presidential run this Fall. If Democratic Party stalwarts fail to understand that Hillary and Bill Clinton are their best package to run against McCain in this 2008 election season, then welcome to another 8, 16, or 32 years of Republicans in the White House, ...

  • Obama should quite? NOT!!!

    I don't beleive that there is any reason that Obama should quite or even be asked to quit. He is the best choice for the Democratic party and the only chance we have of beating McCain in November. Just because HRC has an agenda of her own which has no concern for either the Democratic party or the American people which stops her from pulling out ...
