Democrats.org has a post called "Dean: Land Deals for Donors Show McCain's Real Priorities, Blatant Hypocrisy" that's worth checking out...
On the same day John McCain gave a speech aimed at repositioning himself as a "moderate" for the general election by claiming to be a "conservationist," the Washington Post highlights Senator McCain's true priorities.
I know many people haven't heard of Ed Whitfield, Congressman from Kentucky's First Congressional District. He has kept a low-profile and has few accomplishments to show for it. Despite this, Ed Whitfield has quietly amassed a record of rubber-stamping President Bush and the Republican leadership in all their failed glory. Read More »
on the relgious right wing control. I post this before, but decided to repost it. something has to be done about the control these religous right has on the bush adm. if nothing is done this is really going to become out of control.
now I want to make one thing clear to you all. this in no way is related to obama or Rev.Wright. so if you bring it up i will tell you to please think again. this is another reason why we must be extremely careful who we vote for.

That the name is the Democratic Party. It is anything but. In a Democratic election the person with the most votes wins. The primaries have yet to be decided yet the party is divided.
I use the word party loosly as it really isn't a party it's two parties because there are two candidates. It is the Clinton Party and there is the Obama Party. It doesn't matter who gets the most votes in the primaries because it's really two different parties so both candidates can run as their own party.
There is one party though ... it's called the ME party. I'm in it for me and if my candidate happens to have less votes than the other than damn it I'll vote for MY candidate anyway.
This is the Putrid Party and FDR and JFK would be turning in their graves if they were here to witness the self destruction we bring to this site. It is a masochistic free for all that has Republicans laughing.
McCain will win in 2008, I'm certain of that. It is what the Republicans want and what the Putrid Party wants too. Congratulations on being an individual, the Republicans are a team.

does it take to screw in a lightbulb.
It'll never happen cause half of them will want to go clockwise and the other half counter clockwise.
There is no such thing as a democratic party. The republicans are going to cream us in November. I might as well write JFK in because he has a better chance than either Obama or Clinton. Republicans will at least vote for their democratically nominated candidate.

That a Republican, like John McCain, would be better than either Democratic candidate you need to look back at history.
The carnage the war in Iraq has caused, the lack of commitment to get Osama Bin Laden, the alienation of neutral nations and distancing by friendly nations. The corrupt politics and strong arm tactics of Tom Delay, Dick Cheney and the absolute mockery of "puppet" appointees to important positions (Alberto Gonzales, unqualified white house staffers, FEMA Directors ... the list goes on).
Combine that with the fact that we have depleted and over-extended our military and under-equipped our soldiers. Awarded contracts based on political affiliation and abandoned people in parts of the country where there was a difference of opinion with the president/vice president.
Life is harder for the poor and middle class and easier for the rich. We are no closer to energy independence and going hell bent for election (pardon the phrase) toward the melting of the polar ice caps and expansion of global warming.
I don't see how any Republican of good conscience (let alone professed Democrat) can vote Republican in this election. McCain should lose by a bigger margin than when Nixon and McGovern faced off.
We maim, torture, and kill anyone in our path and all some of us can think about is "my candidate didn't win". Grow up people, this election is about humanity and quality of life. The way were going our planet isn't even going to be here for our grandchildren.

Hillary's Election Day Remarks in Indianapolis, IN
May 6, 2008
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/speech/view/?id=7560
Thank you, Indiana. Thank you. Not too long ago, my opponent made a prediction. He said I would probably win Pennsylvania. He would win North Carolina, and Indiana would be the tie-breaker. Well, tonight we've come from behind, we’ve broken the tie, and thanks to you, it's full speed on to the White House.
This has been an extraordinary experience, traveling across Indiana, having an opportunity to meet so many of you. And for everyone who holds your breath at the gas pump, afraid to see how much it cost today, and for everyone working day and night because you want the world for your kids. For every young person with big dreams who deserves a world of opportunity, and for all those who aren't in the headlines but have always written America’s story, tonight is your victory right here.

What will we get with McCain? More of the same.
I was going through my old closet of poems and came upon this that i wrote back in 2005. it is revised from the orginal version. one comment i got from a reader said this is magic. he could actually feel the ground moving.
On the wings of an eagle
On the wings of an eagle
Soaring high where the stars shine
And the moon casts silvery shadows
On the wings of an eagle
Soaring above the mountain tops
With the power to glide freely
On the wings of an eagle
Soaring above the land of freedom
And the home of equality
On the wings of an eagle
Gliding where there is no fear
And only love stands against the gates of evil
On the wings of an eagle
Soaring where the stars shine
And the moon casts silvery shadows

Call me wrong but:
Uninformed? A scary notion for our president to be uniformed. Or bad judgement ... even worse.
I'm looking for comments. Who is going to abstain from voting (or vote republican/write someone in) if their candidate loses the primary? Feel free to be as expressive as you want.
I have came across this info time and again. I even brought this to my senators attention. i must say that the answer i got was not what i expected. all three candidates know about the power bushie has amassed by using sign on statements. this is why we needed to realize who we vote for and hope that they will not use this power against the American citizens. under
under presidental directive-51 all three branches will be switched under the control of the president and the constitution will be SUSPENDED. I have a print out of this.
the article is in the extent post below.
this is what scares me the most. Read More »

I've been reading the posts here for some time now and have become very discouraged with the animosity that I've seen. Petty insults and tearing people down to make oneself look better is the norm. I'm personally sick of it.
If someone wants to write a post espousing their candidate's virtues I'm all for it but if someone wants to rip into a candidate because they're afraid theirs isn't doing well then I'm going to be all over it like white on rice (this includes either side).
Negative campaigning has to go. I personally can't stand it and it's driven many a reasonable person away. The offenders (on both sides) know who they are. Unless you want to see my ugly face (and words) on all of your posts then you'll stop it now. This may be a self serving ultimatum but this place is even uglier than my face these days.

Message from former DNC Chairs for Hillary Clinton
May 2, 2008
Dear Fellow Democratic Party Member:
Democratic National Committee members work tirelessly to elect Democrats locally, and they serve as strong advocates for finding solutions to our nation's most pressing problems. As former DNC Chairs, we are proud to be leaders in a Party that seeks to alleviate the burden of limited access to health care, fix broken systems of public education, improve working conditions for middle-class men and women, and ensure America's safety and security, at home and abroad.
Those of us who support Hillary Clinton for president do so with the knowledge that she, just like us, has dedicated her life to improving the standard of living for others, and she has worked to make our Party the strong force that it is today. Her values are our Party's values. Her record of fiscal prudence is matched by her commitment to social responsibility. Her accomplishments in the area of strengthening America's security are a matter of public record.
Hillary has run one of the most formidable campaigns inthe history of our Party. Her wins this primary season are significant - Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas. Her base of support includes women, Hispanics, seniors, Catholics, middle and low income Americans, and rural, suburban and urban voters. That's a formidable coalition tailor-made for victory in a November general election.
In fact, if the election were held today, Hillary would beat Senator McCain, but Senator Obama would lose to the presumptive GOP nominee. According to the most recent polls available, Hillary would beat McCain by a margin of 279 to 259 Electoral Votes. But McCain would beat Obama by a margin of 291 to 247 Electoral Votes. Read More »
