Profile - Democratic PartyDemocrats Lead US Out of Iraq Quagmire---NOT Yes, we voted the Democrats into the majority last November, and ever since, all we've gotten are excuses. What's the excuse today, Dems, who voted overwhelmingly to give the President another $150,000,000,000 OFF BUDGET for Iraq and Afghanistan? And how much of that is going to find its way to Iran? Sheehan to beat Pelosi Pelosi's political power as head of the democratic house is going to take a beating since she can't seem to muster the guts to get us out of Iraq. Sheehan will. Go Sheehan!!! One Way Murtha There's one way to influence a president - public opinion. The other is passing laws. And of course, IMPEACHING HIM. About time those numskulls got with the program. Pretty Please? House democrats have finally come up with a plan - Bother the President. If Pelosi Won't Do It, Who Will Pelosi announced last year that the democrats would not use a win in the house and senate to impeach the president. And no wonder, she and her gang of "high democrats" - e.g. democrats who are part republican, who vote for illegal wars, who authorized the Patriot Act - TWICE, aren't really an opposition party. And there's the problem - we have no opposition party! Yearly Kos Been streaming the Yearly Kos in Las Vegas this weekend. Democrats Give Domestic Spyer A Pass So much for speaking out. So much for watching out for the common man. So much for the opposition party, folks. DNC What made the Democrats winners in the last century? It's very simple, really. Apparently too simple as the Heavy Hitters can't seem to get it. I'm not proud. I'll give it to them for free. ACCESS Kerry's Taking The Fall Six weeks after the 911 Commission Report is published, the silence is deafening...Where is the outrage? Bet'cha you didn't see this on CSPAN! Moore is now a superstar, capable of attracting audiences and attention as well or better than the Democrats' biggest names – and he's for Kerry. Jackson/Palast source of Corinne Brown's Guts Let me explain -- because the New York Times won't. In the 2000 elections, 1.9 million ballots were cast which were never counted according to data from the US Civil Rights Commission and the Harvard University Law School Civil Rights Project. Nader Out in the Cold Who knows what kind of shananigans went into the Green Party giving a cold shoulder to Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader. Hats off to whomever made the decision. Kerry Stops the Hemorrhaging It's as if while we weren't looking John Kerry stepped into the phone booth as Clark Kent and emerged as Superman. Yes, at least for one day anyway, Kerry, master of convoluted context, numbingly nuanced non-answers, and perpetually polysyllabic pentameters, has, voila! turned into a smash-and-slash, take-no-prisoners stump speaker. Al Gore's Speech 6/14 "I am Al Gore. I used to be the next President of the United States," Gore introduced himself to laughter, quipping: "I don’t believe that's particularly funny." John Kerry is slow to anger, but when he finally arrives, he knows how to make his point. Democratic presidential challenger John Kerry, lashing out at the White House's "twisted sense of ethics and morality," accused Republicans on Friday of distorting his record and attacking his patriotism. Who the Hell Put Daschle in Charge? In January, Daschle said "I think it is critical that we follow up and find out what went wrong" with the intelligence regarding Weaponsof Mass Destruction. On Thursday, he praised the Bush administration's war and nation-building work in Iraq and said he has no serious concerns about the lack of weapons of mass destruction. Wha? Democrats Get House Seat in Kentucky Remember, there are two races today - the white house and the legislature! Democrats Silent An Omnibus Bill is working its way through the Senate. It represents seven individual spending bills that will wrap-up the budget for 2004. It is a Boon-Doggle. Gore for Dean Former Vice President and winner of the 2000 Presidential election Al Gore will endorse Howard Dean as the Democratic candidate for President, 2004, tomorrow. A Fitting Memorial to Paul Wellstone As the late Senator Paul Wellstone used to say, if our whole is going to equal the sum of our parts, we need to build a powerful progressive force that recruits and supports the next generation of leaders, at both the grassroots and national level. In other words, ORGANIZE!! Zell Miller Senator Zell Miller's decided to not run again for the Senate in 2004. Thank Goodness Boxer Just Says No With all but 13 Senators following Bush into the further quagmire of debt and war, Boxer says no! Blog for America , 8:12:34 PM. On Monday night, September 29, Candidate Howard Dean's going for another history-making-moment -- he's trying to establish the world record for the largest conference call in world history. Howard Dean will get on the phone with thousands of supporters in every state, raising small dollars in small clusters in dorm rooms and kitchens, sharing pizza or rice and beans or a three-course meal. Something Nice to Say Howard Dean is a little miracle. Imagine if we said three years ago that a political outsider from a small state would use the internet to win the next election. On second thought, three years ago, it would have been a foregone conclusion. Well he's here, Howard Dean, the Democrat that, if the Democrats don't back him, will be the winning independant. Two Wrongs Never Make It Right Let it never be said that the TIP supported the Democrats any more than it supported the Republicans. Mais NO! It is the Republicrats that have brought us to this sorry state. Howard Dean - 16 Questions for George Bush There has been much discussion about the 16 words included in the State of the Union address. Today I call on the President to answer these sixteen questions to ensure that the American people can retain their trust in their government and to help ensure that the United States can retain its credibility as a moral force in the world. Bob Graham Starts Talking Impeachment A few years late, but still good news. Is the gig up? Boxer Challenges FCC Ruling Barbara Boxer along with Senators Stevens and Hollings have introduced legislation S.1046 to reintroduce the curb on media monopolies recently removed by the FCC under Chairman Powell How to Throw An Election The Democrats have managed to avoid being seen or heard from for two years now. Now Leiberman and Kerry lead the pack. Pelosi - Democrats have Nothing To Say Nancy Pelosi, democratic whip, went on the record today explaining that the Democrats essentially have nothing to say about the war that separates them from the Republicans. Daschle Changes his Mind - The Draught Bill Daschle, the Democrat's only national voice, had an amazing reversal of opinion on the war in Iraq - After the President signed his 9-Billion Dollar Draught Bill Senate Approves Resolution to Create Nationwide AMBER Alert Network Senate Approves Hutchison-Feinstein Legislation To Create Nationwide AMBER Alert Network |
