82 Percent Say U.S. on "Wrong Track"

John — Tue, 13 May 2008 21:56:11 EDT

Democrats.org has a post called "82 Percent Say U.S. on "Wrong Track"" that's worth checking out...

In the latest ABC News/Washington Post opinion poll, 82 percent of Americans say the country is on the wrong track as President Bush hit an all-time low in the poll. The poll findings are bad news for the McCain campaign, which is running on a simple platform of four more years of failed Bush policies.

Hillary in Debt

Asher Heimermann — Mon, 12 May 2008 16:33:36 EDT

With Senator Hillary Clinton's campaign falling ever deeper into debt, Senator Clinton spent a rainy Mother's Day seeking votes ahead of Tuesday's primary, turning a deaf ear to calls for her to leave a Democratic presidential contest she has little hope of winning.

Let your voice be heard! You are able to vote for Senator Obama, Senator Clinton, or Senator McCain in the 2008 Presidential Poll that is located at www.AsherHeimermann.com then click on BLOG.

Dean: Land Deals for Donors Show McCain's Real Priorities, Blatant Hypocrisy

John — Sun, 11 May 2008 13:24:06 EDT

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.

China Unfit to Host 2008 Olympics

JoAnne — Fri, 09 May 2008 20:15:06 EDT

This summer, President George W. Bush will smile while jaunting up the stairs to Air Force One - his laughable presidency all but over - with not a care in the world.

For 13 hours, he'll lie on a couch in the airplane, drink pomegranate-flavored water and watch reruns of Texas Rangers games from the glory days of Nolan Ryan and Jose Canseco

Eventually, he'll land in Beijing, China, for the 2008 Summer Olympics. He'll pose and smile for photos with great Chinese leaders.

You'll definitely read about it in the newspaper, and so will people just like you all over the world; and you'll probably feel pretty good when you do. Like a bottle of cheap gin the whole globe can pass around, the Olympics somehow make it okay to forget for a little while.

This is helpful for most of us, but somewhat unfortunate for the Tibetan people, whose struggle against occupation has gone on for nearly 60 years

In 1951, the Chinese government annexed Tibet and declared it part of China. In 1959, an uprising resulted in the expulsion of the Dalai Lama; since that time he has run a "government in exile" based in India and become a martyr for global political rights.

On March 10, in honor of the 49th anniversary of China's great experiment in the abuse of state sovereignty, Tibetan monks began to protest en masse the continued demonization of the Dalai Lama and China's efforts to ethnically cleanse Tibetans.

China, for its part, pledged to "resolutely crush" those people. Within days, it launched a fresh military campaign in the region. It kicked out journalists and declared no quarter on religious figures.

Anyway, a generation later, as a reward for Chinese progress and a concession that China has established itself as a modern global player, it gets to host the Olympics!

Irony in such high doses should be fatal.

No MSNBC ass clowns Hillary is not getting out of the race

John — Thu, 08 May 2008 20:32:06 EDT

The delegate numbers, Obama 1850 Clinton 1696. Less than 200 between them. 154 pledge delegates to be exact.
Ah sorry Obama it takes 2,025 to win the nomination and you won't have that number going into the convention. So Obama pundits and sages can trash talk and whine all they want...boo hoo boo hoo. Senator Clinton is going all the way to the convention. Sorry NBC boys, Sister Hillary is not taking any baloney BS from you any time soon, and either am I.

Republican trolls and the DNC donation boycott suicide movement

Stephen Crockett — Wed, 07 May 2008 04:00:17 EDT

Over the past few weeks, I have received some really stupid emails trying to get me to boycott the DNC financially over seating Florida and Michigan delegations to the Democratic convention. I believe this movement is a trojan horse operation being pushed by Republican trolls.
It smells like a Karl Rove type operation.

The financing of the Democratic National Committee should not be crippled as a result of the Clinton-Obama Presidential contest under any circumstances!

The current round of anti-McCain ads being aired by the Democratic National Committee is proof. They are excellent. As Democrats, we should all be helping to finance them if we want to win in November.

Here are a few suggestions.

If you receive an email urging a boycott of DNC donations, reply to the sender that they are helping the Republican Party and that you will be blocking all future emails from them. Then block them.

If you have a website that includes links to other sites, remove all links to sites that promote boycotting the DNC financially.

Make a small donation to the DNC instead of your favorite Presidential candidate this week. Show that you are a real Democrat!

Urge everyone on your email lists to read this post, copy it and send it to every Democrat they know.

Write the Presidential candidate you support and urge them to do a joint televised appeal for funds for the Democratic National Committee. A joint Clinton-Obama fundraising ad would certainly help strengthen the Democratic ticket in November at all levels regardless of eventual nominee.

Thanks,

Stephen Crockett

Gas Tax Nonsense and Fundamental Energy Industry Change

Stephen Crockett — Thu, 01 May 2008 20:58:42 EDT

The idea being promoted by both John McCain and Hillary Clinton of canceling the federal gasoline tax for the summer is a terrible idea. It fails to address the real issue of runaway fuel prices. It has negative consequences for the safety of our roads and bridges. It is essentially a campaign stunt and distraction. The oil profiteers have already gobbled up any benefit consumers might gain from the cut far in advance of the proposed summer suspension.

Runaway fuel prices are largely the result of market manipulation by speculators and oil companies combined with a “nod and wink” approach to government regulation and law enforcement from the Bush Administration. We need serious government intervention instead of cosmetic window dressing.

Gasoline inventories are rising at the same time that prices are skyrocketing! Oil companies have been intentionally closing refineries to raise prices. The Bush administration has been taking huge quantities off the market by continuing to fill a strategic reserve when the federal government should be releasing the reserve to drive down the prices and breaking the power of speculators.

The federal taxes on fuel are a very tiny percentage of the total price. Gasoline prices rose nationally last month by nearly twice the amount of the federal gas tax. While the suspension of the gasoline tax sounds good, it does nothing but slow the price rise for a couple of weeks while gutting our ability to maintain our roads and bridges.

We already have bridges collapsing and citizens dying. Our transportation safety issue is really important. It is already in a crisis situation without following this irresponsible proposal. We need a huge increase in transportation infrastructure spending by the federal government instead of a dramatic decrease. We need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars over the next few years on rebuilding our national economic infrastructure. We should be training millions of new construction workers by giving our construction unions support for their apprenticeship and training programs. The money has to come from somewhere.

McCain and Clinton are pushing a proposal that is irresponsible and will not even occur under their terms if elected. Neither will be in the White House this summer.

There are some ideas that will help. Aggressive investigations and prosecutions in the oil industry are certainly in order. Illegal price manipulation is likely. Strengthening laws and penalties for market manipulation should be a top priority. All profits derived from illegal market manipulation should be surrendered to the federal government along with huge additional penalties. The law should immediately be changed to make this the standard.

All oil imports should be done through the federal government. The federal government should negotiate the price from a position of strength. Oil companies should not be able to drive up prices by bidding against competitors for imports and using the process as an excuse for price-gouging.

We need a strong “windfall profits tax” on the oil industry. This tax should be used to promote alternative energy and to subsidize the trucking industry fuel costs, which is driving up consumer inflation on other products like food.

Oil refinery closings should only be permitted by the federal government when they do not result in huge price increases. If necessary, the federal government should build their own refineries to supply the American military and feral government vehicles. We should end the Iraq War which is wasting huge quantities of fuel needed by the homeland.

If all else fails, the federal government should consider price controls on fuel and/or nationalizing the oil industry. The oil industry cannot be permitted to control the entire American economy for the benefit of the very, very few.

McCain and Clinton should stop playing politics with the gas tax issue. They should be aggressively pushing for alternative energy solutions like solar, wind, conservation, bio-fuels, Green jobs and technology along with much more federal regulation of the oil companies.

READ AND ASK HAVE I SUFFERED YET

jb1985 — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 23:54:13 EDT

This is a repost of a comment made earlier today. Wrote a post regardomg this another day.
Hillary is a hero and to be applauded for what she did and Bill should never have been so thoroughly investigated over something that the greatest percentage of our presidents have done. It is a taxpayers wasted money and is not grounds for impeachment. Bill was hounded and hounded and cornered. Lay off with the amoral crap unless you yourself can throw stones.
If you can stand to be judged then OK. You are perfect. Don't think there is one in our midst that can make that claim.
Earlier comment today:

I have posted in the past of a very dear friend who gave her husband an ultamatum after 20 years of infidelity. That after keeping their marriage going as well as the business which she continued to grow and expand and diversify. Also after their 4 children were grown and established in their own businesses. Now they are an extremely happy and close family and they will celebrate more than 40 yrs of marriage in Oct.
The women that do this to me are heroes indeed.
It is far easier to call it quits and stumble and put your children through such a feeling of insecurity than to go on and at one point in time it may work or may fail.
Is that a waste of life, I think not. He could have just as easily continued with his ways but he indeed loved her. Just like a lot of men he had real difficulties staying true to just one woman but did outgrow it.
Every time I think of Hillary and Bill and Chelsea I see a famiily that Hillary held together. I also see Bill as having reached that same point in life making a choice. I feel confident that Hillary also made that ultamatum.
Hillary is a strong and courageous woman indeed.
And I see them together and they display a warmth you can see. So quit with putting down their family.
Unless of course some of you have guilt issues and you want to throw the blame elsewhere.

So before hurling those stones think about what tomorrow may hold for you!!!! Never ever know......

For the Good of the Party and America, an Obama-Clinton Democratic ticket

Stephen Crockett — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 06:51:22 EDT

Hillary Clinton should end her bid for the White House. Obama should offer her the Vice Presidency. Clinton should accept the offer. It would be a bitter pill for both to swallow but it is what both the Democratic Party and the American nation desperately needs. Neither Clinton nor Obama should place their personal ambition, pride or emotions ahead of the needs of the American people.

Clinton won a big victory in Pennsylvania but the election was tainted by the highly negative campaign and by serious election equipment and logistical flaws. At this point, she could easily withdraw with honor. Clinton is certainly not responsible for the defective voting equipment or the thousands of Republicans who switched their registrations in Pennsylvania to Democratic but were denied their right to cast even provisional ballots.

Brad Friedman of Brad Blog predicted in advance on his website and in an interview broadcast on my Democratic Talk Radio show that the election process in Pennsylvania was going to be a disaster logistically. He told our listening audience in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (WGPA SUNNY 1100AM) and our Internet audience that after the problems arose that the type of voting machines used in Pennsylvania made it impossible to fix errors likely to arise. The voting machines used made it impossible to verify the count or audit the results. Pennsylvania election laws and processes tainted Clinton’s victory through no fault of her own.

This writer believes she won big in Pennsylvania but the voting process was so bad that many voters will always doubt the size of that victory.

Regardless of the Pennsylvania win, Clinton has almost zero chance of gaining the Democratic Presidential nomination without changing the nominating rules to seat the delegates from Michigan and Florida selected in unfair primary elections. Even with those delegates counted, Clinton has very little chance of gaining the nomination. It would take a nearly complete sweep of the remaining election contests in places like North Carolina, Indiana, West Virginia, Kentucky, Oregon, Montana, South Dakota, Puerto Rico, Guam and Idaho along with gaining most of the Super Delegates. Basically, it would take a whole series of miracles for her to gain the nomination and place her in a very weak position in terms of defeating McCain in the Fall.

Counting on a series of miracles to win a nomination that would split the Democratic Party in half is a pretty poor campaign strategy. Staying in the race would cast Clinton in a Democratic spoiler role in the minds of the American people should it result in a McCain victory in November. It would ruin her place in history.

A McCain victory would be an absolute disaster for the American nation. It would be basically a third term for Bush Republicanism and the insane policies that have wrecked the American economy. It would mean a foreign policy of endless, pointless, bloody wars. Make no mistake about it, John McCain is a war-monger who has no clue about how to run an economy.

McCain would pack our federal courts with the same kind of partisan, ideologically driven, Far Right judges that Bush appointed. Helping to elect McCain would gut the Bill of Rights and essentially destroy American Democracy. McCain would be both stubborn and inept in the White House just like Bush.

McCain is and always has been a tool of Corporate forces in politics- just like Bush. He and his wife are likely worth hundreds of millions of dollars although the so-called “straight talker” has refused to expose their full family finances. McCain is hiding his conflicts of interests and financially self-serving political position by hiding behind his wife! It is shameful and dishonest.

Electing McCain would mean millions more Americans would lose their homes, their savings and their jobs. It would mean the near collapse of the American dollar, the almost total destruction of America as a manufacturing nation and the end of our military dominance because of economic collapse. The destruction of our Constitutionally guaranteed personal freedoms started under Bush would become complete. It would be in a very real sense a third term for George W. Bush.

McCain was a war hero in Vietnam but since then he has been a disaster for working Americans. Read about McCain at McCain Revealed.com http://www.mccainrevealed.com if you think I am over stating the case against a McCain Presidency. His record and policy positions are about 95 % the same as George W. Bush.

The American nation cannot afford a Bush Presidency. Clinton and Obama should make any sacrifice necessary to spare the American nation of this impending disaster. I am calling on their proven patriotism to work together as a Democratic ticket to defeat Bush Republicanism in the form of John McCain. Please save the American nation!

LIstening to Hannity tonight

jb1985 — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 02:01:54 EDT

made me realize my worst fears were true.......
Obama jumped into this race full of baggage and no years of experience to back him up......
While there are the Dems that want to think and do believe that Rev Wright, Ayers, Farrakhan etc don't mean anything it does....The American electorate will not sweep any of that under the rug...There are a lot of people out of work and live in small towns and what he said in San Fran will be heard over and over and the American electorate will not sweep that under the rug....
Obama should have waited and really put his act together instead he jumped into this race and "may" win the nomination but will lose the GE for the Democrats.....
Then what have we got....What will we face with another Bush in office?
I have gone from being disappointed because this was the first year I have been able to be so active as a semi-retiree and found that blogging with fellow Democrats has been a less than enjoyable experience. That was only disappointing. Then to realize that a young upstart full of promises that he has no way of ever keeping and does not plan to has messed it up for us to win the election.
If ever we needed someone like Hillary who genuinely cares and wants to really make a difference in our country it is this year.
Remember it takes some time and a huge amount of bipartisanship to make the kinds of changes that he has said he will make happen in DC. His main objective has been met as far as he is concerned. He developed a large following, especially that of young people who have never understood the difficulties that are involved in really making those changes.
Hillary has been at this for a lot of years and this year we need that very determined experience she has to offer.
We do need change but we need someone who can get things accomplished. Hillary can and Obama cannot. He would be (if he could win the GE) going into office having for months attacked the very government he will be working with.
Hillary is more electable. Obama will not make it through the GE.

jb1985 — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 21:51:42 EDT

Before anyone decides to demand for a link or attacks please read and understand this is conversation ok?

As I was talking with someone ealier today the thought was that the best presidents have been very wealthy....
Ok we have Hillary who is for all means and purposes running because she really has a desire to do something for America...
Then we have Obama and given the years between now and when he passed the bar he has wasted no time in fighting for all the riches he can amass....not that there is anything wrong with someone working to make a lot of money but what does make it wrong is if it is done sacrificing people along the way......
Hillary is more well to do but she still does not fit in the really super rich category .... you know like Bill Gates (worth something like 450 Billion) but he stil is not the wealthiest person in the world..
Then we have Obama who is still trying to make strides for himself......
JFK was totally and completely filthy rich and had only one reason to run for office and that was because he cared...
Deduction is the best presidents have really been the most wealthy....

Senator Obama your 100% wrong about Americans

John — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:50:28 EDT

Because you don't get it, but we live it, and until you live like the rest of us working class family folk you will never get it. I suggest you take a weekend off and bed down with a rural family trying to make ends meet and put food on the table. Until then your just another politician with lofty goals and fancy phrases. Annie Oakley Hillary Clinton may be, but remember this Senator Obama, Annie Oakley was born in a cabin in rural Western Ohio, so that's two slaps at rural Americans you made in the last few days. What you said and your reaction to the politics of your rival were down right childish and snobbish. Get out of your lofty cloud and down to earth where real people struggle to keep hope alive, and another thing Senator we are NOT scared or clingy or bitter, but WE ARE of a STRONG will and a STRONG heart!
