I've reached the point where I wonder why would anyone with a sane mind want to join the armed services, knowing there is a high probability they could be sent off to Iraq.

I am a liberal independent in Connecticut that worked on Joe Courtney's congressional house race and helped volunteer for Ned Lamont's senate campaign.

However, I'm pissed off beyond belief like most Democrats/Liberals in this country because too many Democrats on the Hill aren't calling out King George on his Stall, Wait, and Blame Democrats on the Iraq War Plan.

It's July of 2007, and not a single Democratic presidential nominee has consistently gone on national television and called Bush out on his current Iraq War Plan. All I hear are massive amounts of political rhetoric that lacks executive leadership/vision.

The media types and republican politicians talk about plan A and plan B when both plans are designed as a classic setup to blame Democrats for a potential withdrawal disaster in Iraq.

Cindy Sheehan To Challenge Nancy Pelosi For Congress W/Poll

The outspoken Iraq War mom activist of a fallen solider is doing what Al Gore told everyone to do at the end of his documentary film "An Inconvenient Truth", "If she/he doesn’t listen, run for congress".

Well, Ms. Sheehan is on the brink of running as an independent to unseat Majority House Leader Nancy Pelosi from her San Francisco congressional district house seat in 2008, unless she files articles of impeachment within the next two weeks. I’m pretty sure Ms. Pelosi won’t bulge one foot by this political ambition and therefore she will be in the toughest political dogfight of her career.

If there is one congressional district in America where an independent can win a political contest its California’s 8th Congressional District. In 2006 Nancy Pelosi did win 80% of the vote, but the political registry figures are so diverse in CA-8 that Sheehan is capable of winning.

I was wondering on this Fourth of July holiday is where do all the Edwards and Obama supporters that proclaim themselves as (democratic leaning/liberal) bloggers live in this country. This information is insightful to myself because it accurately indicates whether these particular candidates will remain competitive in early primary/caucus states and how they would potentially perform in particular states/regions during the general election match-ups.

As we know, the Barack Obama campaign has raised approximately 32.5 million dollars for the second quarter (31 million can be used for the primary process), which is the new fundraising record for Democrats in any single quarter for a presidential election cycle. (As a side note, George W. Bush holds the single fundraising quarter with an astonishing 35.1 million dollars back in June 2003 that dates between April and June).

It's summertime, and Hillary looks like she has the nomination in the bag, but on the other-hand her campaign could easily crumble to pieces if there is a poorer than expected performance in the Iowa caucus.

(If she finishes in third place behind both Edwards, and Obama will she be finished for good)?

There isn't much more to say than the good guys won today.

The Massachusetts state legislature voted 151 to 46 against putting a gay marriage ban on the state's ballot in 2008.

I'm sorry this isn't a very analytical, long, and detailed, journal entry ,but there really isn't much more to say than Mitt Romney it sucks to be you.

This is just the first of many steps now that need to be taken to ensure that all non-striaght couples across the country can enjoy the same benefits that staights coulples will receive for the rest their our lives in this country.

QUESTION:

Is Rudi Giulani bi-sexual?

Evidence: Has dressed up in women's clothes multiple times in public for many different gay&lesbian fundraisers.

He even dressed up in drag on Saturday Night Live when he hosted the season première back in 1997.

After one of his divorces he even lived with two gay-roommates and would kiss them on the cheek everyday before he went to work.

The hard-core republican base will flip out if they remember this stuff actually happened and the Faux Noise Channel starts to air this crap right before the primary.

Personally, I couldn't be happier that Giulani publicly supports non-straight lifestyles. However, I have a feeling the GOP will remember this come election day and as usual support the front-running religious Freak.

Yesterday, I asked my fellow kossacks whether or not they would switch their current presidential loyalties to supporting Al Gore’s campaign if he announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president later this summer or early fall. As expected the majority of voters on my poll voted to support an Al Gore run for the Whitehouse.

Approximately, 56% (271-votes/including-leaners) would change their current presidential favorite to supporting Al Gore, while only 18% would remain to back Edwards, and 12% would continue their backing of Obama. Without a doubt, if Gore puts his name into the presidential gauntlet it is highly probably he would defeat Clinton for the Democratic nomination.

In less than a month summer will officially start, but the Democratic Party remains without a consensus voice for democracy within the country. This is definitely apparent among the front-runners vying for the presidential nomination because there is no clear-cut favorite in the early primary/caucus states.

In Iowa, Edwards has a razor thin 3-percentage point advantage over Hillary Clinton (27% to 24% lead on her), while Obama is coming in closely at third with 20%. (Based on 5 polls) However, in the state of New Hampshire (the first presidential primary) Clinton has a commanding double-digit cushion over both Obama and Edwards. Therefore, there is a true diverse imbalance between the political loyalties between the voters of Iowa and New Hampshire. (As a side note, New Hampshire is an open primary; therefore independent voters can participate in this process). This development is truly strange because national political research shows white independent voters tend to favor either Edwards or Obama over Clinton.

The American public along with the Democratic base will find out today whether or not the Democratic Party will stand up against (King George’s) blank-check philosophy of more endless war in Iraq. As of this moment, many of us kossacks are uncertain about how our local representative(s) in the congress will be voting on the Iraq War funding supplemental later today. However, this vote is very meaningful in many ways because it not only tells us whether the blue team has the moral backbone to support what they publicly say they believe in, but to see if they have the diverse leadership skills to lead this great nation in one it’s most perilous times in world history.
