Where are they? All those republicans who have written English only laws. I was wondering because this caught my attention Rubio to deliver GOP response to Obama's State of the Union.

We're all aware that there is a tremendous battle going on right now over the tax rates set to expire at the end of this year. Not being well versed in legislation, I thought I'd call on the more knowledgeable folks in the DK community. So, what about the Byrd Rule?

This Memorial Day 2010, I'm drawn to think of the sacrifices made by two men, (Sgt.)? George "Lou" Hayhoe and Thad "Sonny" Chaney. One was my uncle and one was my father.

Clearly I'm not seeing all that is going on but I'm amazed at how this problem is being attacked. Based solely on the media reports, they are attacking this in a serial fashion when because of the extreme magnitude of the disaster, they should be attacking in parallel.

As just a simple citizen, not some wonk congressional strategist, if the WH is going to roll us on the Public Option, does it make any sense to ask them to throw us the sop of a trigger?

The storm of health care reform is forming now around the public option. The policy and politics of it are very well explained by Paul Krugman and DK's own Jed Lewison. The question now seems to be what will the progressive caucus in the House do. Will they cave on the public option because that means getting some bill out and besides they always cave to leadership when the chips are down? Or will they stand firm and force the hand of leadership and run the risk of the bill failing and all of the strains that will place on the remainder of Obama's first (and only?) term.

One of whines heard constantly from the right are "What's the rush with doing HCR this quickly?". This ignores the fact that we are all aware of that this is a cornerstone plank of the Democratic party and that this day has been coming for 100+ years if you count Teddy Roosevelt's first breaching the subject of universal health coverage or 60+ years if you count from Truman's proposal. I say the time has come to have this fight now.

How many times have you had the conversation with your kids to pick up their room, put the toys and games away when they're done, don't drop their bikes in the driveway, and wash your hands before dinner? Day in and day out, I seem like I'm saying the same things over and over to reinforce them in my 14 year old daughter.

Grass roots revolutions have taken place all over the world as people have demanded that their voices be heard over the entrenched interests holding their countries back. Often, they have adopted a color or flower to represent their cause. I believe that it is time for our color revolution.

I've been following the health care debate and I've even read large parts of the house bill HR3200 based on reported false claims as collected and posted at Please...Cut the crap!. (Good job guys!) Ok-I get it, you deathers don't like this bill because you think we gonna kill Granny and Trig. So instead of just screaming, how about you help us out here?

Peggy Noonan used her perch as a columnist for the ultra-conservative and republican supporting WSJ today to absolutely bury Sarah Palin and throw down the gauntlet to republicans to get serious if they ever hope to lead this country again.

All of the current polls show the Democratic party has a decided advantage in the way they are perceived to be handling the nations business. The repubs in contrast are held in low esteem in the same polls and are amusing the whole country with their current Rush / Steele circus and circular firing squads. This low morale and state of disarray is the perfect time to for the Dems to think strategically and keep the pressure on.

I have to get up really early for work so I'm running a huge sleep deficit this week, so I can't flesh this out fully now but wanted to put this out there.
John McCain absolutely blasted the Republican party for its' failure of not just the last 8 years, but really the last 14 years going all the way back to Newt and the Contract with America takeover of congress. The silence in the arena was deafening. How is this going to play in the morning when when the republicans have slept on this?
