We need a daily visual of the GOP's obstructionism. If the shoe were on the other foot, the GOP would have one.

"From a marketing point of view, you don't roll out new products in August." --White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, on why the Bush administration waited until after Labor Day to try to sell the American people on the Iraq War. Could this Obama's strategy for roll out of Health Care reform?

Like waking up in a sewer every morning and having to hold your nose. That's how Senator Jim Webb described running against George Allen.

For Barack, running against John "I left my honor in Vietnam" McCain takes sewer living to a whole new level. Nothing but slime, smears, lies, and innuendo 24 hours a day seven days a week.

I find it hard not to think "Betray Us" when I hear his name (Petraeus). Great job Move On!

Now this is a real debate!! And if it gets any more heated, it will be a boxing match. Santorum is becoming unhinged, wild-eyed, talking a "mile-a-minute". Anyone else watching this? It's on CSPAN now. Read More

To call attention to this crucial debate of liberty vs. security, lets organize simultaneous silent vigils across the country of peaceful gatherings of American citizens holding banners with Ben Franklin's timeless quote, "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither". One would not have to be in a group to participate ... just wherever you are, at the appointed date and time, unfurl your banner and stand silently. The visual message would be powerful and would hopefully get the attention of LOCAL media.

We've got to do something to counteract Bush's "I'm Not a Crook" cross-country media tour. (Props to Sam Seder on Air America's The Majority Report for coining the "I'm No a Crook" phrase when referring to Bush's media blitz.) Read More

The picture of those students silently protesting at Gonzales' speech holding up banners with Ben Franklin's quote, "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither", sent a visually powerful message!! And I think they were onto something. http://www.nytimes.com/...

What if all across the country at the same time on the same day there were silent gatherings of peaceful American citizens holding banners with Ben Franklin's quote, "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither". One would not have to even be in a group ... just wherever you are at the appointed date and time, unfurl your banner and stand silently. Read More

Why is it that no liberal journalists are invited on the Sunday morning talkshows??!!! I was flabbergasted to see Byron York from the National Review sitting on the journalist panel at the end of MTP!!! National Review is one of THE most partisan hack publications shilling for the Republican radical right. Read More

The appearance of the flag at half-staff this morning over the capitol struck me as indicative of this entire administration and how little they value the lives of the "little" people. What about the flood victims??!! Does that tragedy NOT deserve our national attention??!! Does the administration just not Get It??!! Read More

I can no longer deny what is happening in this country. No longer can I pretend that it will be okay. Surely I thought, the American public will not willingly allow their rights to be taken away or the Constitution to be subverted at will. BUT here we are as a country on a Sunday night where a special session of Congress has been called to debate a "special" bill to allow, against the wishes of her husband, a feeding tube to be reinserted in a woman who is in a persistent vegetated state -- overturning yet AGAIN a Florida state court ruling (feels like deja vue). State's rights be damned when it suits them! Bottomline, there is no law unless "they" agree with the law.

Hoping no one would notice (or care) the Bush Administration quietly ceased publication of the "Citizen's Guide to the Federal Budget". The Guide should be available on the Whitehouse website under the OMB but it's not. Checking the GPO website reveals that the last guide available to the public was for Fiscal Year 2002.
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/citizensguide.html.

The Citizen's Guide was an easy-to-read booklet explaining in layman's terms with pictures how the budget worked and how money was being spent. It provided explanations for terms like "on-budget", "off-budget", "unified budget" and went into detail about the Social Security surplus and how it masked the size of the deficit. Read More
