the job loses in america have grown to the millions since bushy-boy was illigally elected in 2000!!  the democrats need to start telling the voters how they are going to straighten out the economy and bring good paying jobs back to this country!!! people loosing their homes and jobs want to know when will things start to get better?????

According to Democratic candidates who ran for House of Representative seats in 2006, Rahm Emanuel, then head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, took sides during the Democratic primary elections, favoring conservative candidates, including former Republicans, and sidelining candidates who were running in favor of withdrawal from Iraq....

...According to Doug Thornell, spokesperson for the DCCC, "The policy of the DCCC is not to get involved in primaries, unless there is an unusual circumstance that demands it. I cannot speculate on what those circumstances might be. The majority of these cases [2008 primaries] will be left up to the voters on the ground. Meddling hasn't taken place this cycle, and for the most part last cycle. That isn't an accurate way to describe what happened. We are cognizant of having local support for our candidates."...

Dispatch from a Hotel in Normal, IL - 12:15A CST

Karl Rove and the gang are at it again, this time it is to destroy the Democratic Governor of Kansas. Her mortal sin was to tell the truth about the Kansas National Guard equipment.

Tony Snow, living up to his name, started the snowball rolling by stating "Governor Sebelius never requested anything from the Federal Government." Today that ball was picked up by none other than Sean Hannity. He interviewed two idiots from Pittsburgh, PA, who have a morning show on 104.7 FM (a Clearchannel station) and XM Radio named Quinn and Rose, and accused Howard Dean of orchestrating the Governor's statement for political gain.

The story goes like this:

Minutes ago the U.S. Senate AGAIN failed to exercise meaningful oversight for the national suicide which is our policy in Iraq. It is by now abundantly clear that the Republican caucus is determined to go down with the Bush presidency, and take our military and our country with them while they do nothing. Instead, a bipartisan cattle stampede of senators approved two "we don't hate the troops" resolutions, nothing but vain puffery, swearing to take "no action" about this or that. We don't in the slightest care about what action Congress is NOT going to take, we want to know is what they ARE going to do to reverse the insanity of current policy.

On the occasion of the guilty verdicts against Scooter Libby, Howard Dean was quoted as saying we would have a new president "soon enough." If he is talking about the 2008 election that is NOT soon enough, not even close. Day by day, ever more outrageous scandals and abuses of power spew forth from the White House, as we now learn that they have been so corrupted beyond redemption by their power grabs, that they even used the U.S. attorneys themselves for nakedly partisan witch hunts, to try to influence our elections, and fired all who would not bend under their political dictate.

The Doctor delivers the smackdown., layin' the curse of Nixon on John McCain...

hi, im an australian and even i am hoping (for the people of americas sake the democrats can stop the rot ) with the election, i pay attention to what i get to see of american politics here in australia, and im always amazed at how the people of america can put up with such incompetence when the republicans are in power, united we stand in the fight against terrorism yes and always will, but what they ( the republicans ) have done ( iraq ) to the fine young men that serve your country in time of its need is CRIMINAL, god bless these brave men and women and their families, good luck with the election, oh and howard dean is my favorite democrat ( a fine politician ) long live freedom !!! its bye from this aussie, and if ya find the time come on down here for a holiday you'll love it.

I was horrified to receive an email from democrats.com that actually advocated that if democrats win the House, they will ignore Nancy Pelosi. John Conyers will call for the investigations that will lead to impeachment.

I believe that the president has committed impeachable offenses, however he only has two years left until his term ends. More importantly, Democrats have the chance to do good for the American people and hopefully set themselves up for a win in 2008.

Impeachment would be a huge distraction from all the important work that needs to be done, especially undoing some of the bad legislation.

Blogging from YearlyKos

Serving up a healthy dose of political red meat to an audience primed and ready, Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Howard Dean and former Virginia Governor (and presidential hopeful) Mark Warner rallied the troops Saturday at YearlyKos.

"Those guys win elections by scapegoating people," said Dean referring to the Republican party. "[It's always] 'those people' from Ronald Reagan's 'welfare queen' to George Bush's gay and lesbian Americans and immigrants. Scapegoat, scapegoat, scapegoat! It's the way they win elections."

"We will not do that because it's bad for America and the one big difference between the Republican party and the Democratic party is they will put the interests of the Republican party ahead of the interests of the United States of America and we will not do that," continued Dean, to thunderous applause.

The Mid-Term Elections: More Bad News For The GOP (scroll down)

[T]here is now the possibility that the Democrats could retake the House of Representatives, and maybe even pick up a couple of Senate seats as well.

There has been a gigantic shift in the electoral map, perhaps one of the greatest shifts in recent political history. I must tell you going in, that most of the blame for this massive shift lies with President Bush and his administration…
