Ok, I'm not an economist(I think I took 2 econ courses in college, that's it). I haven't done any scientific survey. Only a survey of one, me. However, the change I've seen is both dramatic and SUDDEN(I don't think I normally see that word used by any economist on CNBC to describe an improvement in the ecnomy, and I've had plenty of time to sit at home and watch)!

In his RNC acceptance speech, John McCain mentioned a laid-off worker from my city, Farmington Hills Michigan. Well, all I have to say is thank you lighting the match. Thanks to you, we had double the number of volunteers today as last Saturday for Obama. Even better, thanks to you......

As most of you know since this controversy has been discussed in painful detail on by Kossacks from Michigan on DKos, Michigan Dems for all practical purposes lost their right to vote to have their say in the nomination of the Democratic Presidential nominees because our state leaders thought it was time that our states economic problems be center stage in this election even if that means destroying the foundation that our nominating process has been built on. The DNC didn't like that thus they gave us the death penalty of voiding our primary resulting in all the candidates BUT Hillary, Gravel, Kucinich, and the greatest of all progressive, liberal DEMs who is the answer to all our problems and the true agent of change: "UNCOMMITTED".

UPDATE:

What could be interesting is that this could be an issue in the 9th congressional district between Gary Peters and Nancy Skinner. If this happens, they will have to pick sides. Will they pick the same side or different sides? That could instantly trump all other issues in that primary.

Yes, you. Unless you've been calling for a WarTax, you're a part of the problem not apart of the solution. Showing progress for a war where the objectives change daily is easy. The CONs are guaranteed a victory. Actually finding people willing to pay for it is the hard part.

Another day, and yet another example of why I'm 100% right that the strategy DEMs should be taking is unifying behind passing David Obey's WarTax. Today's "Iraq Victory" message shows the ultimate flaw in pushing for a pullout....you just might get it!

For the last 6 months GOP have done nothing but hide behind Gen Petraeus instead of defending GWB's Iraq Nationbuilding policy on their own. It allows them to avoid having to deal with any issue of what the real goals of this nationbuilding are and how or if THEY not Gen Petraeus thinks they could actually accomplish them. The only way we can stop this is to either
1: Find an issue that can be a wedge issue between Gen Petraeus and the GOPs
2. Change the debate to an issue where Gen Petraeus's views might not be that relevant.

It's that simple. I realize that Kossacks who demand troop withdrawals and an immediate end to this fraudulent Iraq Profiteering War will be insulted by this, but I'm sorry. This troop withdrawal debate is one that unites all GOPs and divides off some DEMs(not me). It's a battle GOPs are happy to have. It's a LOSER. GOPs clearly feel there is little consequence for them to support an endless war and wasting of $150 billion-$200 billion/year of what could be spent on badly needed infrastructure upgrades for AMERICA and improving healthcare here. If GOPs are going stubbornly support this no matter what, we need to make that have consequences.

Ok, it seems to me that CONs and the MSM seem to be in compelete agreement on what is the #1 goal of for political progress in Iraq to create a Jeffersonian Democracy: The Oil Revenue Sharing Program. This is of course will guarantee every Iraqi citizen:Shi-ite, Sunni, or Kurd, and equal share of the Iraqi oil revenue. Now, maybe I don't have an advanced degree in economics, but what kind of a systemdoes that sound like to you.........?

Ok, I know the title is nothing but fightin' words to Kossacks and probably the worst insult I could give, but listening to him fail to see the best strategy on this past supplemental spending bill was just as frustrating as listening to Kossacks fail to see it. Both parties won't consider any options other than pullout now, strict timetables for pullout, or caving in like the DEMs did by agreeing to unenforceable benchmarks. There are better more anti-war options than even an immediate pullout.

I know that I'm going to get slammed for this, but I don't care. I'm sick of screaming at the top of my lungs and nobody hearing me. First of all, I was against the Iraq Nationbuilding(I hate the term occupation, it only increases GOP support as GOPs love idea of oppressing Muslims) from DAY 1, and it's for the exact same reason why I'm against it now: because the people who were behind the lobbying for this War the most weren't and still aren't willing to make a single sacrifice for it.

I apologize in advance if I'm saying something offensive to Michael J Fox, anybody who is hoping for the medical breakthroughs that are expected from Embryonic stemcell research. After all, I strongly support federal funding for embryonic stemcell research. I just don't think the reason for this issue's signficance has anything to do with medical breakthroughs....at least not here in Michigan. It has to do with 1 thing: JOBS! Read More
