The issue is strength. The contest is joined. One guy will walk away as the winner with the other guy on his hands and knees trying to figure out what just happened to him and what is this warm, thick, red stuff running out of his nose? Republicans are ready for the fight. Democrats are checking their pocket protectors.

The new Republican Ad (http://www.boston.com/...) running on CNN (and other networks?) presents a massive opportunity for the Democrats. The ad chooses to portray Osama Bin Laden, his lieutenants and followers as current threats that only the Republicans are qualified to fight. Read More

How is it that as prices at the pump are tumbling like few times in the history of the world, we spend our time wringing our hands about this election poll and that? We need to be tolling the bell in the public square to announce our rejection of the Brokeback cuddling between the vice-president and his energy industry boyfriends.

These guys are like the nation's scout masters, they line us up at the pump and we all get drilled as they syphon our pockets for their profits. Now we are supposed to accept this election-season-reach-around and grant these buckaroo-pirates more time in the seats of power so that they can send more American children off to die in a foreign desert in their monkey-cluster of a war that guarantees higher oil prices and gilded retirements for the execs.

Rove running Lieberman? ("We're under attack!")

Karl Rove once changed the game in a Texas election from focussing on the issues to concern about his bugging of his own office.
Mr. Lieberman's campaign has likewise set out to change the discussion from focussing on the gargantuan issues facing today's voters to a discussion of his supposed victimhood in regards to difficulties managing his website.
Will Mr. Lamont's people, or the Dem. party, show the stones and good sense to go ahead and draw the circle around the Lieberman and Bush camps? This is the final nail in the "Lieberman is a Bush boy" coffin.
If there really is an effort by the Dem. Party to escort their winner to victory, then they should step up and call a spade a spade: brand Lieberman as desperate and small, and guilty of hijacking the election away from the issues of economy and war and toward his own selfish desire to stay in power, all of this according to a strategy pioneered and perfected by the Bush campaign.
They want to hit below the belt, then kick them in the balls and march on. Read More

We were going to stop the Swiftboating 527's, but the issue left the headlines and it stopped being important before it got done. We were going to stop Alito, but we couldn't fight the Delay/Rove push when they had the majority in the House and Senate. We were going to fight the Patriot Act but we got distracted by other issues. Read More

Dear Senator _____,

The closing of the Dubai Ports World deal on March 1 is a travesty of American process. With the highly publicized 45-day review getting underway, it is not right that this deal closes at the outset. The Bush Administration under the direction of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove is, yet again, railroading the American people in order to acheive their own ends.

This country acheived greatness via a system of respect for the citizen and a balance of governmental powers. This latest attempt by the White House to subvert these American values and our protocols is a recipe for more of their totalitarian disasters (Iraq, Katrina response, Medicare funding,...).

We have elected you to represent our best interests to the government. We encourage you in the strongest possible terms to resist the closing of the Dubai Ports World deal before the 45-day review is completed to the satisfaction of the congress.

Respectfully,

_________

Dear Sirs and Madames,

We will be avoiding any and all products from companies that are based in South Dakota. We are encouraging all of our familiy and friends do likewise. We are dissuading everyone with whom we have contact to avoid travelling to or through your state.

Our country acheived greatness because of our capacity to seek social solutions based on the pursuit of freedom and the respect for the innate value of each and every person. Your state's desire to deal with the prevalent difficulties of unwanted pregnancies is admirable and probably required for the future success of our republic. However, your state's choice to deal with the challenges by forcing your ideology onto the women of South Dakota withdraws your state's recognition of respect for the citizen. Your representatives have determined that the American course of respect for the citizen is not worthy of their consideration and they have discovered that the course of totalitarian edict that has yet to produce the first hint of success in this country, is the wise choice.

President Bush told the nation that any White House employees connected with the leak of Valerie Plame's identity to the press would be fired. When it became clear that Karl Rove was among the leakers, he dropped the subject.

He has emasculated himself on the issue of punishing those that leak classified information.

Now the president comes out swinging at the leaker(s) of the news that the NSA is spying on Americans. How weak and fragmented is the Democratic Party that not one single representative in the House or Senate has come forward to highlight this glaring hypocrisy?

In order to prevent the Rovian plan of elevating Mr. Bush to a position of "nice-speak" while Cheney and other henchmen slash and burn good men's reputations, we must in turn elevate the public perception of Mr. Cheney and other attackers to Oval Office spokesmen. Read More

Yesterday's Pandemic fog-blast from the President contained a toxic additive that was masked by all the sugary sweet tidbits of money flying everywhere. Billions here, billions there, blah, blah... Most of what was announced yesterday is either programs already initiated by Congress or programs that had previously been gutted by the White House budget. Mr. Bush probably doesn't even know that he was sent onstage to act like he was proposing to do what someone else has already done or that he was contradicting his own budgetary demands. Read More

One of the responses from the Dems. to Bush's Alito nomination needs to be that it is now apparent that Bush is the errand boy of the religious right. With this nomination Bush has, in one short week, withdrawn his own personal best choice for the court and replaced her with a far-right extreme judicial activist, all at the express behest of the religious conservatives.

The Talking Point:
"It would be better for this process and the country if our President and his administration had the wherewithall to lead according to values shared by a majority of Americans. Instead, as with the abandonment of Harriet Miers, George Bush has decided to avoid the hard work of leadership and is instead folding-up like a cheap umbrella in a stiff breeze and following the demands of a small narrow minority of far-right ideologues."
