Swift Boat to Hell

Gonzales appeals to the "some people say" logic of Fox News.

Bush for Dummies

Yes, you may steal this graphic.

Swift Kick and Punt Return

Because blogging has become popular and has drawn off a small sliver of the public who might otherwise mindlessly read the country's major newspapers or watch its television media, we are now targetted by the same people who have been maneuvering big media to toe the Republican line.

Their Best Argument

I even found one of them admitting that Al Gore had won the 2000 election and that the country was in dismal shape! This ranks with admitting that there were no weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq. But as with everything, there's a spin.

Swift Boat of Lies

The so-called Swift Boat commercials which are being shown in key swing states demand that Bush condemn them.

A Year 2000 Prophecy

Prophecy can be devastating and bite the recipient in unexpected ways.

Democats

It gives me a good feeling to see them clearing the condo of that rat. Let's send them to the White House!

Alone for Peace

Having delivered our troops and the people of Iraq into a quagmire, the American public is working hard to forgive itself by reaffirming its commitment to the war against Terror.

A Slap in The Face, A Brick on the Head

Mark we as one citizen who is aghast at the spectacle of a sincere anti-war activist turned apologist for a grotesque war in Iraq.

Trust with Verification

....so the refrain went when the Reaganauts talked about the Soviet Union, but never about the Saudis, Saddam Hussein, the Afghani rebels, Israel, or the Contras.

Red, White and Blue Blindfold

The Senate is due to vote on the Federal Marriage Amendment, an invasive, anti-states-rights tumor which the Libertines want to graft onto the U.S. Constitution mostly because it will sell in Kansas and cement their minority rule not only of the White House and also of the Congress.

The Day After Tomorrow

Fire or ice? The promos for this film suggest both.

Don Bushote?

George W. Bush's antics seem comic when we read about them in blogs but they are grimmer than satire when we remember that this is no fictional character but a fool with a great deal of power in his hands.

Killing an important check

This could be the stink that gets me to hold my nose and vote for Kerry.

Machine Politics in Orange

They sneaked in electronic voting in Orange County. When we went to the polls, the luminescent screens in their blue boxes were there.

Tuesday will Tell

Now that that story has been debunked, will Edwards keep his momentum as most electable candidate?

Hasn't Edwards Heard....

If the Democratic Platform does not come out against these things, I'm voting Third Party.

They've Always Got to Find a Penis

Those who have read my comments on Kerry lately might believe that I would be delighted to hear the news. Frankly, I think this calls for a massive yawn.

The Drum Beat

When I look over Drum's commentary on the war and Kerry's let-Bush-have-his-way-votes, I find ample room for embarassment in both matters.

Fear Drives The Democrats

I replied "The Democrats campaign based on Fear, too."

Michael Dukakis and 2004

Where was Dukakis's rage? Why didn't he tell the reporter off?

Democrats: Is this you?

Vote for the man you believe in, not the Republican in Democrat's clothing.

Anybody But Bush?

Can't we all just go along?" seems the best answer anyone has for voting for John Kerry, the leading Republicrat.

What has Kerry Done?

I am supposed to think that this man stands for reform just because he is a Democrat?

Howard Dean At Salon

He's not bitter about the press coverage he got -- it was to expected of the front runner -- nor has he given up the race.

Those White Boys

Straight hair, fair skin, and a penis grant a special license -- as long as the candidate has networked properly.

Smart Selection of Presidential Candidates?

I wonder what it would be like if we voted blind like this in the primaries?

Debunking the "Debunking"

The Libertines are in high form, trying to rewrite the language so that George W. Bush will not be labeled a coward or a chicken hawk.

Meat the Press

The friend who passed this on to me said that she thought it was a parody at first.

Howard and Judy and Laura

If you want a particular woman in the White House, you should support her for president.

Iowa Caucus 1992

Needless to say that Tom Harkin did not win the nomination. Nor did my favorite of the time, Paul Tsongas. The third place loser became our president.

Big Mouth Bob Meets Killer Dana

This being Orange County politics, the Weekly treats the race as pretty much finished by the time the March California Primary decides who will be the Republican candidate.

A Different Kind of Angry White Guy

I feel frustrated these days by the news.

Hating Judy Dean
Check out this post by Kris: Go ahead and Google Judith Steinberg Dean--you'll see many, many more examples of the...

Overrun in Atlanta

Doubtless, media pinionists will be all over the crowd for disturbing this "solemn ceremony".

Goodbye Carol

I endorsed her because she spoke my mind. I felt it was time to put my talk of Affirmative Action to work.

Howard Dean's Free Speech Zone is Everywhere

Ask not about Bush's repression of free speech and dissent in his presence, but make a big issue when Howard Dean speaks up for himself and for his supporters.

More New Terms for the "Debate"

My little dictionary of terms for today's changing political climate continues to grow as friends tell me their labels for particular types

Wimp-O-Matic Democrats

It's time to get angry, folks.

The Big RNC Lie about Moveon

Trust in other adults to make up their own minds based on the truth

State of the Disunion

Tell pResident Bush the real State of the Union.

Two New Terms for the "Debate"

Vichy Democrats: Refers to Democrats like Christopher Lieberman, John Kerry, John Edwards, Richard Gephardt, etc. who believe that the surest way to beat Bush is to act almost exactly like him.

Bush in 30 Seconds

Moveon asked its members to submit their dream ads designed to illuminate the real nature of the Bush record

Africa is a Country and Taiwan....

>....is China's colony according to the pResident

An Open Letter To Joseph Lieberman

Remember how you criticized Gore for losing the election by running "too populist" a campaign?

Howard Dean's Back

This comes straight from Saruman -- not Sauron -- the DLC.

In Memory of Gertrude Jones

....her legacy is one of hope for the future, that we, as Americans, can pull away from the divisive and bloodthirsty domestic and international politics of this usurper administration and move once again towards the working/middle class heaven we were until the rise of Reagan and George Bush Sr.

About the Guys With Confederate Flags on Their Pickups

The superficial attacks on Governor Dean, suggesting that he is racist, are plainly untrue and work to undermine the struggle to unseat the Pretender.

How to Defraud the Voters

If people stop believing in elections and want change, what will they do? I have said for years that our country is becoming Latin-Americanized, meaning that there is a growing rift between what the People want and what the Government delivers.

Swing and a Miss
I see where, in a speech to the National Guard in New Hampshire today, our President, who is becoming a...

Are You a Self-Defeating Democrat?
This cartoon from The Village Voice might well describe you. If you see yourself in any of the panels, it's...

Wesley Clark

I am hard pressed to think of a former general (other than Washington who suppressed the Whiskey Rebellion) who waged war while President.

Too Far and Not Far Enough

The Media went too far by broadcasting the scenes of the World Trade Center attack over and over again until people were crawling under their coffee tables, screaming as they thought they heard the Bernoulian screech of wind riding over the wings of jets plowing into their neighborhood.

The Liberia Trap

Think, Democrats. Think! Don't wimp out on opposing war!

All the Dirt, All the Time

Don't miss the local scandals, including the mysterious murder of Frederico the Goat

Carol Mosely Braun

So, though there is nothing to gain except the sense that I have done the right thing, I endorse Carol Mosely Braun.

Muslim-Speaking Troops?

This fumble and the Resident are making Yale's reputation appear overinflated.

If the election were held today....

....I would vote for Carol Moseley Braun.

John Kerry = Bush Lite?

To Kerry and his supporters I say simply this: Dean's wife and family are off limits.

George McGovern is Not Dead Yet

This was the one political campaign in which I didn't feel that I was selling my soul. It was also when I started to realize how full of hot air the press was and how petty the mushy middle could be when it came to small mistakes.

Not Endorsements

I make no endorsements at this time. I ask to be pressured to make none.

Howard Dean Needs to Broaden His Perspective

. It's the kind of talk that appeals to those white people who live within a hundred or so miles of the Canadian border, the ones who compost and recycle, but sometimes vote Republican. People like the ones in Fargo.

Blog for America
Howard Dean now has a weblog (written by Matthew Gross). Snatched from Ratched....

Sucking the Teat of A Volcano

I'm prepared to walk if the Democrats don't get a clue and start campaigning against the Patriot Act and for things like the withdrawal of our troops from Iraq and national health care for all.

A Question for Democrats

Is it Democrat at any cost?

Something for the Activist Elite

Where do men who wear four thousand dollar suits get off calling middle class people who put their consciences where their mouths out and who work to get out the vote "elites"?

Nineteen Ninety Two

Now the Wimpocrats don't want to raise health care as an issue because they say "it's a loser cause". They're right.
