This video made it on the Ed Schultz show's Psycho Talk segment (as I watched on Crooksandliars). It's a straight-forward question a constituent poses to Rep (and Dr) Paul Broun of GA that goes unanswered about what the GOP's plan is on how to afford catastrophic insurance with high deductibles. Doc has no answer and just bolts. It's more proof that (a) the GOP is a party of unruly individuals when it comes to debating health care and (b) the GOP has no plan to reform health insurance/care/etc. Laughable because all we've been talking about for months (and in the Dem party, years) is one issue. DKos, please meet Republic Rep. Paul Broun (GA-10). If you have a suggestion (on civility/health care), send it to him! Or call his office at (202) 225-4101.

EVERYONE JUSTIFY YOUR VOTE!!!

Let's get real here--despite our support for public option and mandated insurance, the moderates in Congress are the majority when it comes to health care reform.

Obama and NAFTA--Some context SORELY needed on the misguided flip-flop notion

There have been so many diaries expressing shock, disappointment, and even enough outrage to the extent that some will not work for Obama as hard as they once said they would. One key reason is Obama's flip on NAFTA. In this entry, I argue that Obama had no choice but to flip-flop, and those of us who did not see it coming were not closely following the campaign.

This was a comment I made in Kos's recent diary, but I have to say, in short, Obama and ALL his surrogates (including you) should stop commenting on McCain's war experience and what it means (or does not mean) toady. It's fruitless, dishonorable, and a way for Obama to lose. Read on.

The frickin RBC Committee meeting has been really disappointing, and demonstrates the key problem that has transfixed our party for the entire 21st century: a focus on procedure, symbolism, personalities, rhetoric, and yes, even the dreaded "gotcha". This is NOT to say that the Republicans don't use these tools, in fact, they use them on a much grander and larger scale than we do. So why am I pissed? Because, sans 2006, every single time the conditions FAVOR Democrats, we fuck it up, and we're about to fuck it up again at the ebb of the Republican Party.

I know there are a ton of diaries going out on how we need to "coax" Clinton supporters into our tent and all that, but it's not over until she says it's over. Don't kid yourselves, we'll need their vote, and nobody likes being told by their enemies to come join our side. They are very passionate about their candidate, just as much as we are with ours. If Hillary Clinton had the delegate lead and the math now, it would be the LAST thing I want that they tell us "Obama peeps, we want and need you to come to our side now, let's stand together."

I know I'm going to get slammed by most of the comments, and I am prepared for the onslaught. I suspect there may be some vicious comments too. I would ask for some respect. But I urge you all to please read and have an open mind. Below is why I believe the Democratic Party should support the free trade agreement with Colombia.

My idea is that Hillary bows out. If she doesn't, the Democrats should refrain from attacking each other, and should start uniting in attacking McCain. If they can't do that, then Obama should ignore Hillary, as the nomination math is in his favor. If he can't do that, then let's just scrap Obama and Hillary and bring a uniting candidate...Al Gore.

This debate was troublesome to watch. Senator Clinton's negative and somewhat distorting attacks on Obama left Obama having to defend himself, and because of this, Edwards was able to take the high road in the debate, even though he was the most negative candidate in the race up until a few months ago. If there's anyone that can be responsible for Obama's demise, and perhaps Edwards' comeback, it is Clinton herself.

This is a short entry! That's the question, which kossack has the funniest username here? Some of the names we have are hysterical that conjure up really wild images. Some of the funny names are very important diarists in this community, but nonetheless have funny names.

I'll add a poll below to see which is the best. I have my choice, but I won't reveal it until others give me some ideas as to who has the best name.

Thanks everyone!

Our candidates have been for quite some time making the case why each one of them is better than each other. Rather than criticize each other, let's just break out of this blame game and start criticizing Bush's presidency and the Republicans who love it so much. It's got a lot Americans are sick of, and let's, as persons of the Democratic party, nominate the candidate who most effectively makes the case against George W. Bush and the Republicans running for president, rather than seeking to nominate the candidate who "stands out" as the best Democrat. Below the fold please.
