Seems that any number of business are playing news 24 / 7 for their customers. As someone who frequents the gym I find it galling to have to hear and see Fox News continuous bombard me with racist ideology wrapped around the veneer of news. I recently asked my gym to remove this garbage from the screens. This is not censorship. I am a customer and can take my money and business elsewhere. Every business now seems to want my opinion after I have visited their establishment. They want to know if I had a good or bad customer experience. Well listening to Tucker Carlson rant about White America being replaced by people of color is not something I want to listen to or help promote. Yelp is especially deadly to small businesses. So if these businesses want us to frequent their business let them know how much we hate subsidizing extreme right wing ideology. Let them know we will review them to let all of their other customers know they are promoting ugly racist right wing ideologies by broadcasting these lunatics at their business. Leaving nasty Yelp reviews or online reviews is a good way of disseminating that information. Lets use our purchasing power to make a difference for good.

We often complain that Democrats do not have our back. This congressman not only had our back but put himself out there. Lets make this the norm by supporting him in all ways especially financially

Have we become the left's version of Bush apologists? One of the things I detested during Bush's eight years in the White House was the blind loyalty of the Bush supporters. Often putting support for Bush before principle and country. They loved the platitudes.
The more I watch Obama the more he disappoints. Yes I realize that he has to deal with BlueDogs and Republicans. The more I look the more I see someone who readily trades off promises and commitments he made to staunch loyal supporters to appease non-supporters. These concessions usually at the expense of ideals that a majority of Amerricans support.

This is not a slam against Obama or Universal Health care. When I say Obamacare I mean the bad compromise that is currently being proposed and hung around Obama's neck. My concern is that a bad health care reform legislation will ultimately be a poison pill for Health care reform. We have seen the industry force our elected official to take single payer off the table. The public option is being discussed but even the house version has been crippled to protect the insurance industry. The Senate Finance committee bill is far worse. If something called a "public option" or more likely Insurance COOPs are passed by Congress this could make the US health care system worse.

How? Because we will have institutionalize the worst of the US Health care Practices into a government program. The model for this is Medicare prescription Drug plan. So much was given to the Pharmaceutical Industry that all the benefits that were supposed to be derived from the program were negotiated away. Ted Kennedy, bless his heart, championed this legislation and figured he could fix the legislation later on. The problem is after years no one is talking about fixing a program that forces the government to buy drugs at high costs with no ability to negotiate for cheaper prices.

I hate to say it but the more I watch Obama and the Democrats the more I think this is the case. They are defending themselves against Death panels, free health care for illegal immigrants, rationing etc... Single Payer was conceded without Debate.

Now progressives/liberals are reduced to defending Democrats from Right wing nutjobs trying to hijack town halls.

The media is obsessing on these spectacles. The Health care debate continues to flounder and the right becomes more emboldened.

The Democrats AND the Liberal/Progressive movement once again underestimated the opposition. We brought ideas and debate they brought fear and hate. Look back at history and see who usually wins that contest.

I hope I am wrong but as a poltical junkie who has seen this show before I do not see how this situation is salvaged

Well Looks like its not our imagination. Coleman's case has been a fishing expedition from the start and the judges have said there is No widedspread problem. This means that Norm's argument that a lot of rejected votes need to be reconsidered is not likely to happen and likely is a signal that his chances of overturning Franken's lead are not good.

Thats right Palin voters don't give a sh*t about issues. Take that as a given. What are her strengths family, patriot, christianity. Guess what they are all her biggest Weaknesses.

Her family is completely disfunctional her downs syndrome baby is being neglected by his mother. Her daughter is pregnant out of wedlock. Her son track was likely concieved out of wedlock and who is taking care of her young daughter? Her two oldest children did not even live with her over the last year because she put her career above her familiy

She supported and promoted a group that is anti-American AIP. This is another form of treasons and she can't be trusted to protect America

She is part of a weird Christian cult that is very far outside the mainstream. They openly preached against the Catholic church and have world view similar to the Jim Jones cult.... Lemonade anyone?

and thats how you beat her

Hillary Clinton On Working Class Whites In 1995: "Screw 'Em"

Yes that First Lady Hillary Clinton comments after congressional elections. Sounds a bit bitter to me and a bit elitist.

In January 1995, as the Clintons were licking their wounds from the 1994 congressional elections, a debate emerged at a retreat at Camp David. Should the administration make overtures to working class white southerners who had all but forsaken the Democratic Party? The then-first lady took a less than inclusive approach.

"Screw 'em," she told her husband. "You don't owe them a thing, Bill. They're doing nothing for you; you don't have to do anything for them."

I don't have any knowledge that he is. Yet maybe this is more than an academic question. I realize the Democrats are not monolothic yet it seems that this Congress has been cowed by the White House. My question is how ? why ? All polls show vast rejection of Bush policies a demand for change yet time and time again we have seen Democrats compromise core principles, allow targets of investigation to ignore subpoenas and even provide retroactive immunity.

Again my question is why ? What the hell am I missing ? How do we find out ? Any thoughts on this?

49 Democrats
49 Republicans
2 Independents
1 always votes with the Dems
1 Lieberdog always votes with the Republicans

So just to get the chance to vote you need to peel away 10 Republicans 20.4 % of the Republicans. To override a veto that is 19 votes or 38.8 % of Republicans.

Well the fix is in. The Republicans are playing games with our candidate Lamont and I doubt the DNC is going to get involved. The Quinnipiac poll poll release shows that Lieberman is running as the de-Facto Republican candidate and almost all his support is coming at the expense of the Republican Senate nominee Alan Schlesinger.
Alan Schlesinger

After giving it some thought I came up with and idea to split the Republican vote again. Something pretty radical. Lets help Schlesinger! We need to split the Republican vote. Thats right, if we help Schlesinger who is going to benefit? Most likely its going to be Lamont. I know this is not a usual play by Democrats but it is for Republicans. Lets be realistic we need to help Schlesinger to help Lamont. Otherwise the Republicans get their stealth candidate in and thats Lieberman. So here is Schlesinger's donation page donate

Please recommend if you think this approach has legs. Read More
