Posted by GregL on July 2, 2008 at 01:58 AM Got a flight to catch tomorrow

I see that GregL is still working for Vice President Dick Cheney and is off once again to look for Saddam's nuclear program. GregL clearly does not have the aptitude for this kind of work.

I think we would all be better served if he would work for Paul Wolfowitz and be tasked with convincing the Chinese to make Supply Side "economics" the cornerstone of their economic policy.

The DLCC has a new website and blog. Check it out.

I hope it works better than this one.

OMG! Are you watching as Bush and McCain are trying desperately to find ways to take credit for the capture of those 5 Columbian hostages???

Bush saying he has been working on this for 5 Years? WTF, he doesn't even know how much a gallon of gas is, or where the hell Omaha is located, and he wants us to believe he CARES a shit about a few American hostages in Columbia??
Get Real, Chimp in Chief!

And McCain! hahahahahaha, the old fool, saying he was briefed prior to the operation ! Like somehow he is to be trusted by world leaders! In a cat's ass, he is to be trusted. All we have to do is let the world know-----if McCain gets in, they are looking at another 8 years like the last ---aggression, arrogance, ego, power trips, etc!

And for those waiting with baited breath for news of Kennedy's demise----he still has work to do and is doing it!!!

Kennedy Leads Renewed Effort on Universal Health Care

Kennedy presses for bipartisan support before new president takes office.

http://www.truthout.org/article/kennedy-leads-renewed-effort-universal-health-care

By allowing his staff to use his military service as a marketing tool, McCain is only tarnishing the image he wishes to project of a humble, simple man...

Sandy, it is not just his staff using his POW status. Every speech he makes contains "I served my country", and "when I was a POW"

What else does the old fool have?

Fears, Again, of Oil Supplies at Risk

By NEELA BANERJEE
Published: October 14, 2001

THEY are the nightmares, the worst confluence of misguided decisions and startling violence, that politicians and oil executives ponder briefly and then shoo away:

That sympathizers of Osama bin Laden sink three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and choke off the narrow, bow-shaped channel that funnels 14 million barrels a day from the Persian Gulf to the rest of the world. That the United States attacks Iraq, and Israel launches a huge strike against the Palestinians, driving them from their camps and staking out more land -- all of which spurs the Persian Gulf states to cut off oil for the West. Or perhaps that a popular uprising, led by sympathizers of Mr. bin Laden, topples the ruling Saud family in Saudi Arabia, by far the world's largest oil producer.

''If bin Laden takes over and becomes king of Saudi Arabia, he'd turn off the tap,'' said Roger Diwan, a managing director of the Petroleum Finance Company, a consulting firm in Washington. ''He said at one point that he wants oil to be $144 a barrel'' -- about six times what it sells for now.

Oil rose to $144 a barrel today, July 2, 2008

So Bush lost and Bin Lauden wins again?

There, I said it again, and again, and again. And I'm satisfied.

DPD,

I think the trick is to keep on posting nonsence over and over and over again. You see how well it works for the trolls? They never have any problem logging in.

Just think. Ooil is about six times more expensive than it was when Bush took office. You're telling me that this is Bin Lauden's fault?

The Bushies succeeded in doing exactly what they wanted with Cheney's Energy Task force. All the members had to be from Enron.

Instead of bombing nuclear facilities in Iran, we might do well to bomb multinational oil headquarters in Texas. That's were the real threat to our existence lies.

I say nice things about Obama all the time.

I wrote a touching piece last night praising his political skills. You probably didn't read it all because you were so overtaken by the sentimentality of my prose...I do admit to being a "little" verbose.

Your Republican operatives just can't seem to touch him. He does that Mohammad Ali thing so well.

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't become an ordained minister before the election and offers to baptize any Reagan Democrats who agree to leave the Devil and join him.

I even heard that he's moving so far Right now that he might even change his last name to Reagan...Rev. Hussein Reagan.

Do you think McCain can win against a Baptist minister by the name of Reagan who can box like Mohammad Ali?

While you Republicans are stuck with Mr. Magoo who’s wandering around aimlessly looking for votes in Columbia trying to get caught by enemy combatants. Maybe you will get lucky?

That would go over well with the Republican Gitmo/Abu Graibe torture crowd. He had previously alienated them (along with most other conservatives).

I really want to get this guy on the air. Do you think O'Reilley could arrange it? Imagine how that interview would go. Or maybe Limbaugh? He has like $400 million dollars... just like Cindy McCain.

That's our man McCain; always in the middle of the action.

Who is he going to free in Mexico? All those illegal alien janitors that Walmart likes to lock in over night at their stores? Perhaps he could arrange to send some of those American jobs back to this country?

Why is McCain in Mexico? Probably so he can cut the ribbon at Cindy's new Budweiser distributorship.

Well, that didn't last long. It refrehed back to some time during the mesozoic era nad apparently wasn't really fixed.

Maybe they should haquit when they actually had a blog that took comments w/o a 45 to 60 minute gap between post and publish (LIKE IT WAS 2 MINUTES AGO, AHEM)

So we now know IT CAN BE DONE, but the Hillbots refuse to allow Obama supporters to post here because thay are all Taylor Marsh and Tiny Johnson fans who get ALL the e-mails, which proves that Hillary WILL be the Nominee in Denver.

gregg,

dors was freed by McCain and his commandoes tonight according to Faux News. It was bloody and little confused...well with McCain in charged a lot more confused than it should have been.

* * * *

I love the film from Iraq that the media always shows when they talk about the progress that has been made. You always see our troops walking around with weapons ready...among the ruins.

It looks like bombed out Europe after WW II.

There is rubble and bricks strown all over the place. There is no clean water, little electricity, broken sewer pipes, and walls around all the neighborhoods to keep the locals from easily killing each other.

Almost 5 million refugees have fled and given up hope of ever returning to their homes...or what's left of them.

This might be the new reality that Bush and the neocons made, but I wouldn't call it progress just because the locals are too tired and depressed to fight back at the moment.

A lull in the action doesn't mean the fighting is over.

Our Iraqi occupation reminds me a lot of WW I. Our troops are entrenched. They occasionally go over the top into the neighborhoods to be shot at but nobody gains any ground. Snipers, car bombs, and suicide bombers rule the streets.

It's a stalemate and it won't end until we leave after saying Mission Accomplished...which Bush did five years ago and was too stupid not to use as his exit strategy.

I'm out of here. I'm think I'm going to give it a rest for a month are two. This blog is nothing but futility.

If you can't talk to others, what's the point of coming back. I'm really disappointed that no one at the DNC apparently cares about the image it presents. If you don't care how you look; you don't care about the job you're doing.

Your silence on the situation is profound.

And the real shame is that there are actually people who used to post here whom you could have asked for help in getting this thing fixed. But you decided against it.

Bye, sally*. You win...for now.

mclame appointed a "KKKarl rove" to run his campaign. The prick worked for cheney in the white house.

BUSH=MCSAME

John McCain put a top adviser in control of day-to-day campaign operations Wednesday after weeks of private concerns among Republicans that the GOP presidential campaign had not made the transition for the general election.

Steve Schmidt, a veteran of President Bush's re-election and a member of the Arizona senator's inner circle, will oversee daily political, strategy, coalitions, scheduling and communications efforts from the campaign's northern Virginia headquarters.

He also was a top aide in Bush's re-election campaign in 2004 and worked for Vice President Dick Cheney in the White House. He ran the confirmation of Justice Samuel Alito, and played a leading role in the confirmation of Chief Justice John Roberts.

The Democratic Party issued a statement saying: "It's no surprise that John McCain would put a Bush-Cheney veteran in charge of his campaign since he's been promising a third Bush term and relying on money raised by President Bush and his friends."

President Asshole is losing the seven year war in Afghanistan. He says it's going to take longer.

"In June, 28 U.S. troops died in Afghanistan. That was the highest monthly total of the entire war, which began in October 2001.

For the full U.S.-led coalition in Afghanistan the death toll was 46, also the highest of the war.

It amounted to a reiteration of a promised buildup of U.S. troops in Afghanistan by Bush. He said coalition forces have doubled in size over two years, and pledged that the twin strategy of fighting extremists and supporting Afghanistan's civil development "is going to work

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, what a f**king laugh.

The Taliban and their supporters have, without question, grown more effective and more aggressive in recent weeks, and as the casualty figures clearly demonstrate," Mullen said. He added that "there's no easy solution, and there will be no quick fix."

The president blasted the Democratic-led Congress for not advancing his energy proposals, including lifting a ban on offshore oil and gas drilling. The president even went so far as to ask Americans to get involved in a lobbying effort. "They ought to be writing their Congress people about it," he said.

F**K YOU BUSH! Use the oil you and cheney are stealing from Iraq.

Bush says US to send more troops to Afghanistan

testing one two three. one does have to wonder why, after several weeks and apparent pretense from the powers that be that nothing is wrong with this site, why on earth it continues to malfunction? correct me if i'm wrong (those who come here more often than i do) but has anyone from the management even bothered to admit in the last several weeks that there is something wrong with this blogsite?

wow, it went from 29 to 54- that's an improvement- is there anybody out there? cue the sad acoustic guitar from that early '80's take on our crumbling excuse of a democracy

lol...Doo Bee...Michael is definitely getting cranky with us. I emailed him today and was very quickly told that he has already told us he would give us news when there was something new to tell us.

So no news means no worky.

test

kristen- you've just described the saddest excuse for a site manager- that's just pathetic. nobody here seems to have any idea why this site continues to not work, and the person they have asked to run the site can't even begin to give some assurance as to why it isn't working or when it might be expected to function properly again. there's just no excuse

David Copperfield would be impressed with how quickly the DNC can make things disappear.

i'm sure if they could just outsource the job to someone affiliated with paul bremer we'd have the thing duly privatized and fucked up beyond anyone's recognition- enough so that some private company could swoop in and fix whatever was wrong just long enough to f' it up again in no time

kristen- i have no doubt that the dnc can make things disappear- about as well as the obama campaign can make their candidate disappear in the eyes of the very donors that he has staked his campaign on- maybe that's why this site doesn't really want anyone coming here anymore- the truth hurts

well, the trick of hitting post without actually posting anything (to refresh the site) doesn't work any better now than refresh did before- have to give it to the ol' computer buzzards who run this site- eventually you'll have to wear special glasses that only those who have been vetted by the obama campaign pass out in order to actually see any posts here, huh?

Boy oh boy does our blog ever suck. Probably due to the gradual phase out.

or maybe the special tickets to get on this site will be handed out by those telecoms that are especially pleased with this party's ability to roll over and play dead before all that cash

Another Democratic Official was charged today in the North Carolina Satanic rituals case.

Joy Suzanne Johnson, left, and Joseph Scott Craig.
At a Monday court hearing that Craig and Joy Johnson, the former vice-chair of the Durham County Democratic party, engaged in satanic worship, which involved shackling victims to beds, keeping them in dog cages and starving them in a Durham home -NBC17.

A third person was charged today in the satanic cult case in North Carolina.
The News Observer reported:

Another local Democratic official has been charged in a criminal case that includes allegations of sexual assault and satanic rituals.

Diana Palmer, first vice chairwoman of the Durham County Democratic Party, turned herself in to Durham police this afternoon. Palmer, 44, of Cottage Woods Court, was charged with one count of accessory after the fact of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.

Bill Thomas, a defense lawyer in the Duke lacrosse case, is representing Palmer and is disturbed by the accusations.

"Ms. Palmer vehemently denies any association whatsoever with a satanic cult," Thomas said this afternoon while his client was being processed at the jail. "She further denies any knowledge of a crime being perpetrated by the persons previously arrested."

If I was a Democrat I would be very embarrassed by this blog.

They couldn't possibly have hired techis who are that bad. It has to be deliberate. A couple more weeks of the blog getting worse and worse and then Mike will post that they are unable to fix it and so they are gonna close er down and that he needs to spend his time seeing to it that Democrats are elected.

15 of 18 Benchmarks Have Now Been Met in Iraq!

Iraq has met all but three of 18 original benchmarks set by Congress last year to measure security, political and economic progress, according to a report by the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad...

The embassy judged that the only remaining shortfalls were the Baghdad government's failure to enact and implement laws governing the oil industry and the disarmament of militia and insurgent groups, and continuing problems with the professionalism of the Iraqi police. All other goals -- including preparations for upcoming elections, reform of de-Baathification and disarmament laws, progress on enacting and spending Iraq's budget, and the capabilities of the Iraqi army -- were rated "satisfactory."

Congress drew up the list of 18 benchmarks early last year, based on pledges by the administration and Baghdad, and passed legislation requiring progress reports. In congressional testimony last September, Gen. David H. Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Iraq, and Ryan C. Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, told lawmakers that about half the goals had been met.

The original legislation required no reports beyond the September testimony. More recently, the White House has maintained that the benchmarks are no longer a useful measurement of Iraq's progress. But the embassy prepared the new assessment in response to a request by Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-N.C.) to update the benchmarks.

Upon hearing this news, Democrats insisted that "solid progress" would have been made if the US had retreated in defeat.

DoPeyDoodle says this is the third most popular blog on the internet with millions of lurkers. It is too bad that none of them can register and post. It is too bad that only 6 or 7 are allowed to post on the open blog of the National Democratic Committee.

This blog worked better 4.5 years ago but it is working the way they want it to now.

If Obama can carry his home state he will do better than McGovern or Al Gore (peace be upon him)

I think the darkies will go apeshit again when Obama loses.

President Asshole and mcAsshole appear to both be taking credit for the release of the hostages in Columbia. It appears to me to be a setup like raygun did to Jimmy Carter in 1980. That's why mcAsshole is down there.

Don't let these bastards get away with it. Bill Richardson was in Columbia in the spring and talked with the FARC people. Bill got them released. So tell bush and mcAsshole that you aren't going to fall for this KKKarlrovian bullshit anymore.

Morning JohnBoy,

Glad to talk with you. We have had a little rain each afternoon for the last three nights. I think our monsoon has started. Last night we had marble sized hale mixed in with the rain. Then later in the evening we had some bad lightning with a little more rain.

It is very welcome.

California is burning up. Over 500 homes are in danger of being burned when the fire comes roaring north out of the Los Padres National Forest. They have evacuated all these people. The change in weather may help contain the fire.

worst president produces worst record on warming. get these evil idiots out of office now!

MSNBC
BERLIN - The U.S. government has done the least among the world’s eight biggest economies to address global warming, a study released Thursday found.

The G8 Climate Scorecards 2008, released Thursday ahead of next week’s gathering of the Group of Eight on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, also found that none of the eight countries are making improvements large enough to prevent temperature increases that scientists think would cause catastrophic climate changes.

The gathering includes the heads of states of the U.S., Japan, Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Canada and Russia...

This is what the world thinks of America.

The American executive and legislative branches of government are in dire need of an aggressive purge in the form of a no-confidence referendum. Unfortunately, the American people have no such device to rid themselves of desiccated people and the interests that tell them what American national policies should be. More’s the pity, presidential candidates Barack Obama (D) and John McCain (R) have merely repackaged the status quo and are selling it as new-face-equals-new policy. None of it adds up to change and, no matter who is elected as president or which party controls congress, odds are America will be on the same course towards more war, more economic pain, more infrastructure problems, and more security intrusions into the daily routine.

There are fundamental flaws not in the constitutional construct of the United States but in the people who are occupying positions in at least two of the three branches of the US government. The executive and legislative branches, according to polls, are sincerely reviled and that means both Republicans and Democrats get equal measure of disgust. But the two parties and their interested backers simply don’t care because they know the American people have no choice but to vote for one or the other. And so the game is all about the two parties entertaining each other and those top few percent of Americans and American corporations that control over 90 percent of America’s wealth.

At fault in it all are the American people who like the main character Wesley Gibson in the thrilling movie Wanted, is willingly tied to a chair and takes punch after punch in the face until he finally “gets it.” But America today is no movie where the main character recovers. The American people need to suck it up and stop taking sucker punches before they have no blood left to bleed.

Americans need to stop listening to the myths they’ve been fed. America is not the shining light on the hill but it is an equal member of the world community.

Yes, there are foreign competitors out there and they are as good as the Americans in manufacturing, computing and aerospace. So Americans should compete with them or become part of their business systems. In this Olympic year, it’s worth noting that Americans hold just six world records in track & field competitions. They hold none in weightlifting. Americans are fat and lazy.

Much, much more........................

Happy Birthday America: A Bunch of Spoiled, Whiny Brats

Americans are crying about gas prices. A pity they can’t buy as many hot dogs or beers at the baseball stadium. They need to adjust and adapt. Americans have always been told that they are the best at everything, so why aren’t they? Americans are not entitled to anything more than the rest of the world. Do they want education systems, roads, bridges and levees that function properly? Well then they need to stop whining about taxes and pay up or make those who pay nothing pull their weight.

Do Americans really want to continue the war in Iraq and go to war with Iran and Syria - and destabilize Turkey and Pakistan - for natural resources and Israel? Well, then do it! Activate selective service, militarize one million Americans (women too) and invade ‘em all. If Americans were as tough as they think they are, they’d get it done and damn the suffering of the military families and the maimed in action. Onward with torture! Medals for Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld!

Do the American people even want the government of Jefferson, Madison, Adams, et al? With the privatization of the civilian and military functions and with their states selling off bridges and roadways for money, it seems they find government of any kind is too much of a burden.
Americans really don’t want to pay for anything and they are not accountable to or for themselves (witness Katrina). Forget the Darfur crisis. As sorry as that is, take a look at what the Americans have done in Iraq: millions displaced internally and externally and disease widespread. Americans raped Iraq and remain non-penitent for their crime.

Happy Birthday America! The founders would be appalled.

Morning Cate and gregg,

It works if you post something.

Back to 8:22PM. Nice.

I've sent my email to the tech team AGAIN.

I've called and insisted they route my call to someone who could actually do something about this.

I left my voice mail explaining my disappointment. Explaining this blog used to be a good resource. That it used to have at least twice as many posts.

That this blog hasn't worked since May 30th.

That there is never any explaination ON THE FRONT PAGE where you can actually read it. Instead that is where we are told we can chat on...

NO WE CAN"T
Writing "they are still working on it" in the comment section is useless to people who can't read comments.

FIX THE BLOG.

General Craddock said that corruption, criminality and a lack of qualified leadership continue to plague the Afghan police.

He could very well be talking about bush and cheney. There is plenty of corruption, criminality and lack of qualified leadership to go around in Washington.

More choppers and unmanned planes needed in Afghanistan

chimp is up to his usual bullshit about Iran. He said we are approaching the problem diplomatically but military action is still on the table. Then he says that Iran will not be allowed to close the Hormuz straits.

This prick is losing the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and he continues to threaten war in the Persian Gulf.

We owe our souls to China, Saudi Arabia and Libya and they are probably arming these countries. Who is shipping arms to the Taliban? We need to know.

It's a big fucking game with these people.

JohnE,,...John Stanton really hits hard, it hurts to read material like that, especially when most of it is all too true.

This is hard to deal with, I'm going to let my grandson, Foster Cole, play on the computer for awhile. Hope this posts, I'll try again later, maybe.
