For those of you old enough to remember the election of 2004, its probably still painful in some way. I was living in Ohio at the time, working my ass off at ground zero for what would become our devastating and humiliating defeat. It still stings. It hurts partially because there was so much passion for beating George W. Bush. During the primaries, it seemed like we were unstoppable. We had all the momentum, and a great candidate in Dr/Gov Dean making the case against the Iraq war in a forceful and meaningful way.

Then, seemingly inexplicably, we nominated John Kerry. Its still hard to say what happened but basically, in my view Iowa voters simply got scared of their own shadow and nominated the “safe, electable” candidate. In reality, Kerry was neither of those things (and he had voted for the Iraq war to boot). The Dean scream/media hype put the nail in the coffin, but it wasn’t really why Dean lost.

Fast forward to 2016, we are up against another absolutely despicable candidate. A candidate that has no business being anywhere near the oval office. Much like in 2004, we also have a candidate who is forcefully advocating for issues we care about. And once again we are nominating who all the pundits and other associated smart people view as the “safe, electable” candidate.

And, quelle surprise, here is how that candidate is doing: LOSING TO DONALD FREAKING TRUMP! You honestly just can’t even make this shit up. Like a horrible case of deja vu playing out all over again.

Hillary Clinton claims she did not vote for war in Iraq

So apparently this is now a thing. What happened was that Clinton didn’t actually vote for the war in Iraq. According to Clinton, what she voted for was leverage. And then, whoopsie, George Bush invaded Iraq. Hey don’t blame her, she voted for leverage. At CNN’s town hall last evening:

Clinton said: "The very explicit appeal that President Bush made before announcing the invasion that getting that vote would be a strong piece of leverage in order to finish the inspections. And he made that comment.”

Am I taking crazy pills, or is this seriously….like….. not what happened at all?

…...the then-senator from New York opted to vote against an amendment to the resolution that would have stressed a U.N.-centric approach.

The amendment by Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Michigan, would have limited U.S. military action to enforcing a new U.N. resolution to eliminate Iraq's nuclear, biological and chemical weapons programs.

So the Levin amendment stated that the U.S. would only go to war if Iraq was deemed in violation of the sanction regime the UN was trying to impose. The amendment, in other words, was a vote for leverage. Iraq doesn’t comply with the inspection regime, we invade. Simple. The problem is that Hillary Clinton voted against this amendment, and voted for unilateral action at the sole discretion of the Bush administration. Her story is pure, revisionist fiction. Or, as CNN put it….

Reality Check: Clinton on Iraq War vote

Verdict: False.

Carry on….

Because at first, I thought it had worked out pretty good. But then all of a sudden people are turning it around on me. They're saying "well, you might have thought that how'd that thing working out for you thing worked out...but you better think again."

Well, lookie here. Today, John Boehner basically conceded that the Republicans are on the losing side of the tax argument debate, and will likely vote to extend the middle class tax cuts without including the tax cuts for the rich he previously demanded be included.

Boehner says he'd support a middle-class tax cut

This was a quick blurb I ran across that scared the hell out of me. I figured I would get it out there for wider discussion. According to Reuters, the Israeli military recently conducted a practice trial run of attacking Iran's nuclear facilities.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials say Israel carried out a large military exercise this month that appeared to be a rehearsal for a potential bombing attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, The New York Times reported on Friday.

I'm sure many are still in shock from the reports that John Edwards is dropping his bid for president.

While there will undoubtedly be threads where a combination of shock and sadness will be expressed, I wanted to use this space as a spot to personally thank John Edwards for elevating the debate and bringing issues to light that, without his candidacy, simply would never have seen the light of day.

Cnn is conducting a poll of viewers this morning asking who won the vote. Last time I checked, Clinton was leading by almost 20%.

Want to play a small role in the media narrative coming out of this debate? Want to see John Edwards be declared the winner? Like the cut of Obama's jib? Want to see Clinton hang on to her lead?

Whatever, just participate!
