SUSA state numbers pitting the top two democratic candidates versus expected Republican nominee Rudy Giuliani. These were all taken within the last couple of weeks.

OK, the thing that stood out the most to me is that Obama would lose Ohio by an 8-point margin to Giuliani, while Hillary would beat him by 5. Losing Ohio would not be a good thing. Otherwise, the poll numbers are fairly even, with some somewhat notable exceptions. Please keep in mind that we're still a year out, so take them for what they're worth.

Polls schmolls. A lot of meaning was attached, especially by rabid Hillary bashers, to a recent Zogby poll showing that all leading GOP candidates would beat Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head matchup should she become the Dem nominee. Well, a new Gallup poll out today shows the opposite, that Ms. Clinton is in fact leading over many of the top GOP candidates.

As a progressive, I pride myself in advocating and defending an ideology that is generous, compassionate, inclusive, tolerant and fair-minded. I believe that our discourse on this and other progressive blogs, although often rancorous and argumentative, is mostly civil and respectful of a vast diversity of commentary, opinions and conjecture.

On the other hand, it has been painfully obvious that the posts on right-wing sites like Freerepublic contain some of the most hateful, bitter, uncivil and vitriolic commentary I've ever read in the blogosphere... until yesterday.

You would think that in certain circumstances, like the death of a former U.S. president, we could engage in a courteous discourse on the man's life, with some semblance of respect to the passing of a fellow human being, and civility to his family, friends and loved ones. You would think that we could discuss his strengths and weaknesses, his accomplishments and failings, without demostrating the worst traits we aften associate with our ideological counterparts. You would think...

Is it any wonder that a large percentage of Americans, to this day, still believe that the nation of Iraq was involved in the attacks on 9/11? Especially when you have Army Vice Chief of Staff Richard Cody still perpetuating those kinds of misrepresentations?

This seems to have flown under the radar for the most part, but the following exchange was taken from the transcript of an interview General Cody gave with CNN's Kyra Phillips earlier this week:

Oh Christ... where to start. There's so much in this article to pick apart and ridicule, I just don't know where to begin.

According to Dr. Dobson, males "learn" maleness from their fathers. I suppose that without a father, males are destined to grow up to be Quentin Crisp, Richard Simmons, or some other gay male stereotype. Earth to Dobson... I could give you the names of a few women that could inbue more "maleness" into their sons than many straight males could even hope to.

He also states that mothers tend to "stress sympathy, grace and care to their children". You know, things males supposedly know nothing about. And dads provide "a sense of right and wrong and its consequences", things that I guess females are oblivious to, along with "justice, fairness and duty". (And I guess George Bush knows a lot about right and wrong and its consequences... HA!)

Well let me tell Dr. Dobson something, my father was in the military and was gone 85% of the time, including a few years in Vietnam. I guess he was fulfilling that male sense of "duty" by leaving his only son to grow up without much involvement from dad. My "maleness" came naturally, and I learned right and wrong just fine from my mother and grandmother, (grandfather spent most of his free time in the pub).

I'm not kidding folks... the lesbian daughter of Darth Vader himself is knocked up.

I just can't wait to see how Dick and Lynne handle the firestorm that is sure to come from the religious right whackos the administration has been cozying up to.

From the Washington Post:

Mary Cheney, the vice president's openly gay daughter, is pregnant. She and her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe, are "ecstatic" about the baby, due in late spring, said a source close to the couple.

It's a baby boom for grandparents Dick and Lynne Cheney: Their older daughter, Elizabeth, went on leave as deputy assistant secretary of state before having her fifth child in July. "The vice president and Mrs. Cheney are looking forward with eager anticipation to the arrival of their sixth grandchild," spokesman Lea Anne McBride said last night.

Holy crap... Tom DeLay just posted at RedState. And you would think he was the Messiah Himself by the way they're reacting. They front-paged him and gave him a big, new, colorful, patriotic graphic and headline... give me a freakin' break.

Here's an excerpt from the post by His Disgraced Republican Holiness:

What's That Thumping?
It's Time We Get Back To First Principles
By Tom DeLay
RedState is pleased to welcome the Hon. Tom DeLay, former Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives, to the front page.
"We must be dedicated to our principles, certain in our direction, bold in our action and relentless in our struggle to advance our cause."
On Wednesday the President accurately described Tuesday's election as a `thumping'. When either party suffers a significant defeat at the polls, a period of recrimination, reprisal and sometimes retreat ensues. But Republicans (and more broadly conservatives) across this great country of ours would be better served by thoughtful introspection and determined resolve to move America forward again.

If there's one lesson to be learned from the 2006 mid-terms, and from the last six years, it's that when the separate factions of the Democratic Party are united, all progressives win.

Don't ever again... EVER... let anyone tell you that the two parties are exactly the same!

We won this election with a fantastic spectrum of Democratic candidates from across the nation. Liberals, moderates and conservatives all voted for the Democratic Party because the voters in specific precincts felt they could identify with our candidates and their positions on the issues. And because of that we get the majorities in both the House and Senate, committee chairmanships in both houses of Congress, subpoena power to hold this administration accountable for its actions, a firewall against any future ultra-conservative Bush SCOTUS nominees, and a substantive say in the direction of this country.

Fu*king asshole! Why doesn't he say this directly to the family and friends of those who have lost their loved ones in this ill-conceived war... preferably on his own Faux New network?

Does he truly think comparative body counts make a bit of difference in the justification for, emotional impact of, or historical significance of this unneccessary war?

Also, notice his quote that "American foreign policy for the whole of the (20th) century saved the world from terrible things three times." Is he actually comparing the Iraq War to WWI and WWII?

TOKYO: Media mogul Rupert Murdoch said on Monday he had no regrets about supporting the US-led invasion of Iraq and argued that the US death toll in the conflict was "minute" from a historical perspective.
The conservative News Corp chief spoke on the eve of US elections where President George W Bush's Republican Party was expected to lose seats in part due to a backlash over the war.

I was just watching John King fill in for Wolf Blitzer on CNN's The Situation Room. He interviewed Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council on the fallout from the Mark Foley scandal. Repeatedly during the interview, Tony Perkins implied that the Republican leadership might have resisted taking action on Mark Foley's emails to underage congressional pages, because they might be perceived as "homophobic or gay-bashing". Yeah, you heard right.

Perkins was obviously trying to link pedophilia to homosexuality in an attempt to once again demonize the gay community with the myth that all homosexuals are pedophiles, and the fact that John King let those statements go unchallenged was extremely disturbing. So in essence, Perkins was claiming that Congress should actively and openly participate in gay-bashing and homophobia in order to weed out potential pedophiles. Read More

This is a clear example of how radical "Christians" spread their deluded brand of "faith" based on hatred, division, misunderstanding and misinterpretation. This article outlines the exact type of indoctrination they accuse their opponents of using.

I just happened to find this article after infiltrating the Dark Side, (Freerepublic), to see what current events talking points they were spreading amongst themselves.

As you will see, the article is filled with ludicrous, ignorant assertions with absolutely no evidence, besides articles from unbiased (cough) groups like Concerned Women for America, presented to back them up. Aside from being deeply offensive on many levels, the "7-Point Plan" even advocates avoiding friendships with homosexuals. God forbid they should come to discover that homosexuals are a diverse group of mostly decent, moral people with very similar daily lives to their heterosexual counterparts. (In other words, the stereotypes are completely outrageous). Read More
