Almost time for the Big Vote (ooohhhh!), and that means it’s time to get ready to rationalize yet another Democratic sell out.

The good news is that we already have quite a bit of practice at this: Iraq war funding, taking impeachment "off the table", campaign finance reform, FISA... but letting Lieberman keep his chairmanship of the Department of Homeland Security is going to take all our efforts to pull together in a mass rationalization. It's going to be tough, but can we do it? Yes We Can!

So.....

Democracy when it suits us. The voters of California passed Proposition 8, 52% to 48%. Don’t like the result? Tough shit, that’s democracy.

We Are Change Ohio talked with Congressman Dennis Kucinich at a luncheon in Cleveland and asked him questions on a host of issues. Kucinich stressed that he would continue to support and fight for the health care of the 9/11 first responders regardless of the fact that the bill was shelved in part due to opposition from New York Mayor Bloomberg.

Every major empire over the past several hundred years has undergone a predictable cycle of collapse, usually within 10 to 20 years of its peak power. The indications are always the same:

- The financialization of the economy, moving from manufacturing to speculation;

- Very high levels of debt;

- Extreme economic inequality;

- Costly military overreaching.

Will Obama rebuild America’s manufacturing base, reduce our debt, restore economic equality, and reduce military adventurism?

AstraZeneca, maker of Crestor (rosuvastatin calcium) now claims that people with normal cholesterol are also at risk for heart attack. AstraZeneca's "study" shows that if this group has normal cholesterol but a high level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), they have a higher incidence of heart attack.

UPDATE: Here's the source (Breitbart): Howard Dean: DNC Uses Credit Card Data to Predict Votes

Is this what we’re about now? Howard Dean and Republican National Committee Chairman Mike Duncan were speakers at a luncheon at the National Press Club November 5, where both looked back on lessons learned and what went right and wrong with their work during the 2008 election cycle.

UPDATE 2: Wow. Kissing the ass of Shepherd Smith. Never thought I'd see it on Daily Kos. You people ARE suckers. What Nader said was that Obama could be the true progressive fighter he promised to be to all of us who busted our asses getting him elected, or he could be an Uncle Tom sellout to his corporate and lobbyist masters (from whom he has disturbingly taken so much and for whom he has significantly altered his positions - remember "one Jerusalem?" - not even Republicans went that far to placate AIPAC.)

Don't like the term "Uncle Tom?" Then substitute the world "pimp." Oh wait, that's racist too!!! Let's all keep arguing about this shit while our progressive agenda is abandoned. Real smart.

President-elect Barack Obama’s first appointment, Rahm Emanuel as White House Chief of Staff, is the son of a member of the Zionist terrorist group Irgun, which was responsible for bombing hotels, marketplaces, and the infamous Deir Yassin massacre, in which hundreds of Palestinian villagers were slaughtered.

Emanuel's father, Benjamin M. Emanuel, was a member of Irgun, an organization described as terrorist by both The New York Times and by the Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry.

Sure, Barack Obama is better than George Bush and Juan McCain, but let’s not forget that Obama wants to significantly expand the War On Terror ™ in Afghanistan, Obama supports the illegal (well, was illegal) wiretapping of Americans, Obama called for Jerusalem to be the undivided capital of Israel (not even the Republicans went that far), Obama is talking about spending more on the military, and Obama is the favored candidate of crooks and liars like Colin Powell.

That’s right, whether Obama or McCain win the election next week, it’ll be Zbigniew Brzezinski – David Rockefeller’s Prime Minister – at the controls of both sides of the charade through his sons.
