As a progressive and a fiscal moderate, I face a real problem of conscience. Do I remain a loyal Democrat or change to Independent or Green Party?

Just what will the McCain/Palin ticket smell like in the next forty days?

Well, we do know the "GOP Party" brand is damaged goods with little chance to recover by November. On the surface, it is a "tell me what I don't know?", but under the surface John McCain torpedoed the Republican Party last night. Down ticket, this is a disaster for the GOP. Especially this year.

We also know Palin was not vetted. If the above doesn't scare the GOP enough, this one surely does. But it gets worse; the Democratic Party research teams and the press are now intimately involved in the process. Down ticket, this may be end up being "Katrina-moment". Especially this year.

I really do not know what the answer is! So Kosacs, I am asking the vast brain that makes us up; how much domestic oil from the United States is sold to foreign markets?

Now is the time to pivot onto "Citizen wiretapping" using; trust Bush? in the larger accountability frame. Americans don't trust Bush on wiretapping, this can be won.

Prove the administration is not wiretapping Americans. There is no current oversight. Prove that the IRS is not using wiretap info to prosecute tax evasion. Prove Rove has not used wiretapping against the Democrats. Democrats must provide the proof: it is called OVERSIGHT. Read More

"I have been briefed on the terrorist surveillance program..." - Senator Diane Feinstein

This is why we may not capture the House this November (let alone the Senate). Even the leaders of the party adopt the Republican talking points. Worse yet, doing so concedes the battle ground to the Republicans by arguing with their definitions in their framing.

DEA to influence CO election

The Drug Enforcement Agency is to be directly involved in Colorado's election, according to the Daily Camera. DEA special agents are directing a $10,000 "fund" to counter a statewide marijuana initiative. The real danger is in money and influence of Federal Agencies. Say the Administration's Faith Based Charity Office gets directly involved in anti-gay marriage initiatives. Or, the "new" EPA funds anti-environmental initiatives. The list can (and probably will) be endless. The federal government's budget can be used to stifle not only citizen's initiatives but also dissent. This an immediate danger to all citizens. This is probably a "trial" to see if federal angencies can indeed influence state elections. Read More

The response from the left should be an equally improvable provocative "facts". For instance; "Republicans use the Patriot Act to spy on Americans who have issues with the IRS. In fact, they have successfully prosecuted over 200 cases of tax evasion using phone tap data from NSA intercepts from American's to their attorneys. Read More

The more audacious the message the more it is amplified. The neo-media love audacity, especially when it is followed up by ever larger overstatement. Welcome to the new dichotomy of GOP versus Democratic political discourse. The rules have been re-written in public with the explicit endorsement of cable news. It is a convergence of GOP audacity and the media conglomerates. They both feed off each other creating a never ending cycle of hyperbole turned into news product. The GOP gets talking points out (regardless of reality) and the FNC/CNN gets their story Read More

Funny thing about these messages, they always seem to be opportune. Once the GOP runs into serious trouble, a well timed "message" brings us back to 9/11 and the war of terror. The GOP needs Bin Laden more than the Republican base to hold onto power, just look at the numbers; the only area where the GOP holds an advantage is security/terrorism by 18 points. This is their only consistent advantage! Read More
