After a long undecided bout, Edwards is getting my vote. He is the only candidate that I trust to actually try to change the corporate lobbyist/money corruption system that infects both the GOP and the Democratic party. He has taken these interests on before, and has the courage, brains and skill to do it again. Obama's "kumbya" song is nice in a Utopian sense, but will not work for real change (the deck is so far stacked against the average American, being "moderate" with lobbyists and the corrupt political system is like trying to calming persuade a crazed act murderer to take a deep breath and not cut your head off). Hillary, unfortunately, is fully bought into the system. She shows no indication of wanting to blow it up

Just called into Senator Salazar's office. He is reviewing the resolution and has not yet made a decision. The aide indicated that Salazar had asked if "we are getting a lot of calls." We need to make that answer "yes, we are sir." Read More

Well this puts a new spin on the offensive cartoon controversy: http://www.teambio.org/...

Its one of those things that you cannot help laughing at, even if you don't want to... Interesting was some of the comments below. This is very self-conscious and intentional, so I think it is a different brand of blasephemy (blasephemy light?) than the Muslim cartoons.

I am intersted in people's reactions. Will riots ensue?

I need help.

I can no longer stand it. My head is about to explode. The GOP and this administration is the most corrupt, unamerican, coward, pu$$ies, greedy, motherfuckers ever to rule this country. These assholes, the same ones who impeached a president for lying about sex, are going to let the administration get away with willfully violating a law. Do they not fucking understand the danger they are putting this country in? Do they not care? Read More

Just thinking out loud. The President's claim of unilateral and dictorial power, and ability to ignore the rule of law, has me pissed off (and made me scared for our country) more than ever. Its good to see the Dems starting to talk tough -- comparing the Repub corruption to the mob and talking impeachment. All of this fire brewing, I came up with what I think is a cool idea for a Dem protest during the SOTU. Read More

"While it's perfectly legitimate to criticize my decision or the conduct of the war, it is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began,"

George W. Bush 11/11/05

My oh my. George wants to talk about responsibility all of a sudden, does he? Well let's.

It appears that Bush may not have declared an emergency for the southeastern parishes of Louisiana (despite the fact that Gov. Blanco made such a request). Check it out below the fold... Read More

The Republicans have and will continue to ruin this country. They do not care about America, they only care about their power, maintaining it and imposing it on others. They are the party of hate - not the party of America.

They put their Faith above America. They cherish their moral agenda more than the facts before them. They have truly created their own version of reality that has nothing to do with reality - they are despicable and anti-American. We no longer live in an America governed by the principals and values of our Constitution - we live by the "moral values" of a motivated religious minority with their OWN agenda. Read More

Here is what I would like to see at the debate on
Thursday. IMO, Kerry has been damaged by: (1) flip-flop label and (2) Swiftboat ads.

He needs to turn his boat into the flip-flop allegations and show that Bush is the major flip flopper in the war on terror and Iraq.

Examples would include:

(1) Nation-building FF
(2) WMD flip-flops (Cheney comments on al Queda Iraq-9/11 links
(3) The importance of Osama Bin Ladin
(4) No cooperation with the UN in Iraq -- Cooperation with the UN in Iraq
(5) We cannot win the war on terror -- we can win the war on terror.

Kerry needs to preemptively strike by flipping the flip-flop label. It will show the ridiculous of Bush's labeling of him, and will be viewed as bold (all the democratic commentators should be ready afterwards to say that Kerry turned his boat into Bush to reveal the hypocrisy!)

The key: it has to be done before Bush strikes with the flip-flop label. Not only will it expose the hypocrisy, but it will also blunt Bush's flip-flop tactics (in fact this is an old litigation trick -- its better to present and spin bad evidence yourself so your opponent cannot frame the issue).
