As you know the health care industry's astroturf juggernaut is riling up the wingnuts to shout down any discussion when your Congress Critter host their town halls in August.

I've seen numerous posts on other blogs about what do we do?

Easy....follow me below the fold....

It's obvious with the the apparent Max Baucus kowtow to the insurance industry that they've gotten their fingers into the Health Care sausage and are looking to foul our reform with their feces.

And by all accounts the vote will be put off until after the August recess.

He and the Blue Dogs need more flogging by the public. A recess gives the insurance lobby time? Sure. It gives us time too.

IF YOU ARE NOT CALLING YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND THE DEM LEADERSHIP DAILY, YOU ARE KILLING HEALTH CARE REFORM

On the eve of the one of the most historic elections in the history of the United States, I find myself thinking about Barack Obama: the man who hopefully will be our next President.

I remember his 2004 keynote speech at the Democratic Convention and being moved by it's power and the America he described. At that time, the unity the country had felt after the abject horror had worn off and 9/11 had become a wedge issue for Bush. I was angry and ashamed at what our country was becoming. I was angry that the foundation of our country, the Constitution, was being systematically chipped away at by a group of people in power, solely to grab more power so that they could push their radical agenda. I was worried that we on the precipice of becoming a world joke. A once proud country, that would sell everything it stood for, to further, what even at that point was a failed and discounted foreign policy. And just as bad further a domestic agenda that enriched the powerful at the expense of the working folk.

PBS:

MARGARET WARNER: The Chinese government is also making it harder for potential trouble-makers from overseas, like those who protested the torch relay after the Tibet crackdown in March to get visas to come to China for the games. And the government is blocking rural residents from coming to Beijing to protest over local issues.

Security checkpoints now surround the capital city of nearly 17 million. Chinese authorities have set up three places for protests and demonstrations during the games: at three public parks, far from the main Olympic venues.

Bush:

When Bush travels around the United States, the Secret Service visits the location ahead of time and orders local police to set up "free speech zones" or "protest zones" where people opposed to Bush policies (and sometimes sign-carrying supporters) are quarantined. These zones routinely succeed in keeping protesters out of presidential sight and outside the view of media covering the event.

Obama's FISA vote was a flip-flop in the worst extreme. It betrayed a lot of what I thought Obama was about. However, he is a politician and according to the New Yorker, a calculating one at that. (Note: I haven't read the piece, but I have watched the bobblehead shows enough to know that while the Cover is "newsworthly", the actual "meat"...err...article; the revelation about Obama's past is not as satisfying in media terms, which means that's the interesting part).

I do note that MSNBC's first read says:

...and other questions.

With the race over (because Russert said it was):

A few questions to the Kos community.

- Does Obama get to roll over his primary funds into the general election?

- Or More broadly what happens to any excess funds that he has in his coffers from his primary bid?

- I know that the campaigns have to keep the primary and general funds separate, is this mainly for when a donor goes over the $2,300 primary limit?

- Hillary keeps loaning her campaign money, is there a limit as to how much the candidate can loan the campaign? Can outsiders "loan" money to the campaign as a general way to skirt the law?

Thanks for any answers!

I never post here. I have maybe one or two previous entries.

However one thing I have to get off my chest is this notion that Obama or the DNC, etc is "disenfranchising" voters of Michigan and Florida.

Are you ready?

I'm still giddy from last night as I would imagine most of you are. I like how Speaker Pelosi rolls off the tongue as well as Majority Leader Reid. Admittedly it still sounds strange. You worked your asses off, you gave until your bank account was empty, you called until your cell phone ran out of minutes, you walked and knocked and traveled and proselytized until your body was sore, then you went on some more. In the end you won, you did more than win, you bested conventional wisdom. The talking heads gave you goals, told you what you could and couldn't do and you showed them up and told them to stuff it, and on the way to victory you gave a big huge finger to the wingnuts that have been driving this country off the cliff.

I read Hunter's hit piece on Patrick Moore. I commented a bunch but I still have more to say. A lot more.

http://www.dailykos.com/...

Hunter's piece reflects the worst in political discourse. It really does.

To begin with Hunter starts his hit piece like this:

Oh, brother. The Washington Post opinion pages seem bound and determined to shed any remaining vestiges of credibility.

I've pretty much had it with the Democrats. Bush should be challenged on every aspect of this failure of an administration, and I see almost none of it. They are handing us the 2006 elections on a silver platter, and all I see is this opportunity being ignored.

Reid releases a scathing report this weekend on GOP corruption, then immediately apologizes. We have Bush out right lying about his illegal wire tapping. I have yet to hear a Dem call him on it. I have heard nothing from any democrat about the plain violation of the 4th amendment this whole thing is. The war is a failure, I hear a disjointed cacophony of responses about what to do about it. Admittedly I was only half paying attention this weekend while it was on, but on MTP there was a roundtable with Begala, Carville and Matalin. Most of the GOP talking point crap that oozed out of Matalin's mouth went unchallenged by the other two. Read More

Maybe this says more about how the AP cover stories versus AFP/Getty or maybe this says more about the individual reporters involved. I think it's a reflection of the media in general
