Att: Keith - The Question for Hillary

Mon Apr 21, 2008 at 09:03:06 AM PDT

I may not be Sean Hannity, but I would still like to suggest a question for your interview this evening on Countdown.

Hillary said she does not agree with the activist base of the Democratic party when it comes to foreign policy.

My question:

What doesn't she agree with us on?

Iraq?  Iran?  The case against a neo-con foreign policy?

What??

Obama campaign...get the heck out there...now!  (update)

Fri Mar 07, 2008 at 10:05:34 AM PDT

I am becoming terribly frustrated at the lack of control this campaign is showing.  And believe me, I am on record as saying it is the best run campaign I have ever witnessed.  

One of my crazy 24 hours in NH

I was in New Hampshire this weekend and I have some impressions to share.  First, let me say I went as an Edwards supporter and left as one. Unfortunately because of scheduling and lodging I didn’t make it to one of his events.  However, I saw Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and I have some observations if anyone is interested.

The Clintons attempt to get around the 22nd amendment

Sat Dec 22, 2007 at 08:04:45 PM PDT

Recently the Clintons and their surrogates have begun pushing the idea that Hillary Clinton’s time as first lady should be counted as on-the-job training wheels for the presidency of the United States.  This includes perpetuating the notion that being the wife of a President counts as foreign policy experience, and prepares someone to handle a global crisis with a steadier hand than someone who has not been First Lady.

(Apparently Barack Obama is unfit to lead because he never gave Diane Sawyer a tour of the White House)

Ready to support Edwards, and why

Sun Dec 16, 2007 at 06:31:22 AM PDT

After months of watching, listening, and thinking, I have finally decided to support John Edwards for President.  

Hope on Veteran's Day.

I thought I would share this piece from Mark Barrett, because I do come from a military town, and I think this is quite powerful.

It's not a holiday I spend a lot of time thinking about, probably because I'm not a veteran and because war hasn't touched my family directly.  My father and my grandfather on my mother's side were both veterans of World War II.  My father's grandfather was a veteran of World War I, which turns out to be kind of a rare thing because so many of the men who went to fight that war died before having kids.  But that's about it.  I don't come from a military family or a military town.

Man in the Arena

Mon Nov 06, 2006 at 05:17:58 PM PDT

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

~Theodore Roosevelt

Joe Lieberman: The Clinton Candidate

Thu Oct 12, 2006 at 11:37:31 AM PDT

This is a snippet from Mark Barrett, but the whole thing is very much worth a read.  I also put this on CTBob's blog and the Ned Lamont blog.  

Even if you're a fan of either of the Clinton's, I still think you should be aware of the type of influence Lieberman thinks he will have.  And more importantly, Karl Rove thinks he will have.

A vote for Lieberman really is a vote for Bush.

Taliban back, using Iraq-style violence

Sat Oct 07, 2006 at 08:08:42 AM PDT

This story just came across the wire a few hours ago.  It is the tale of two cities.  And both of them are on fire.  And George Bush is holding the matches.  And the neo-cons are standing in the ashes.  With blood on their hands.

I'm sorry world.

Brooks may have written his most insulting garbage yet.

Freedom reigns in Iraq

Jim Webb said something along the lines that there are the theorists and then there are the people who actually know how things work. This is a heart-breaking commentary on how much of a complete failure the theorists have been, and the awful consequences of that failure.

Lieberman is too Liberal!

How do we use 'wedge' politics to fight back?
