Democratic Convention 2008

DENVER CANCELS EVERYTHING!

Democratic Convention stumbles in Democratic fashion;
Update: Howard Dean responds
posted at 12:50 pm on July 6, 2008 by Ed Morrissey

The woes of the DNC continue in Denver, and even the New York Times has taken notice. In some ways, it provides an excellent manifestation of Democratic governance. Underfunded, overspent, and chock-full of unrealistic mandates, the entire enterprise appears on the brink of failure — and Team Obama has six weeks to attempt a rescue:
Some of the Democratic missteps started soon after planning for the event began. The Democratic National Convention Committee decided not to take cheap office space and instead rented top-quality offices in downtown Denver at $100,000 a month, only to need less than half the space, which it then filled with rental furniture at $50,000 a month. And in a costly misstep, the Denver host committee, early on, told corporate donors that their contributions were not tax-deductible, rather than to encourage donations by saying that the tax-exempt application was pending and expected to be approved.

CLICK HERE TO FINISHING READING ABOUT THE DENVER SHIT SHOW…and we thought Mayor Menino and the Boston Democratic Convention Committee made a mess of things - HA you gotta another thing comin’!

Does anyone even give a shit anymore….BOOM BOOM OBAMA?

So hows the RNC doing???

Vice President Candidates!

Filed under: Anything Goes, Democratic Convention 2008, Republican Convention 2008, Democratic Candidates 2008, Republican Candidates 2008, Denver, Convention City 2008 — DNC 2008 @ 7:58 pm

Well it’s amazing…Here it is!
Just fresh off the press - Plucked this off Human Events - THANK YOU!

Interesting take on the VP race…as if it really matters after the wonderful fireworks set off by the douchebags in Iran!

ENPR: Ranking Vice Presidential Contenders
by Robert Novak and Timothy P. Carney
Posted: 07/09/2008

Presidential Running Mates: A look at the vice presidential prospects in both parties in a rough order of how their chances rank:

Democratic:
1. Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine: The logical choice is a moderate Southern governor, and Kaine is the only one who fits that description. His negatives are multiple: only been governor for two and one-half years, with few accomplishments; an absolutely zero profile nationally with low charisma to match; hard to imagine him as President of the United States. But he’s popular in Virginia, which hasn’t been carried by a Democrat for president since ‘64, but would be possible with Kaine on the ballot.

2. Sen. Joseph Biden (Del.): He is qualified to be President, and gives foreign policy expertise to Obama. He adds experience and age to the ticket, is a Catholic and was impressive as an unsuccessful presidential candidate (much better than in his disastrous ‘88 run). The downside is that he talks too much, but who listens to vice presidential candidates anyway?

3. Sen. Evan Bayh (Ind.): He adds moderation and is presentable as a future President. But a fellow senator from the neighboring state of Indiana doesn’t add much balance. If he could really bring Indiana into the Democratic fold, it would be worth putting him on the ticket. But that’s a stretch.

4. Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell: He is very able and very experienced, a ticket-balancer: age 64, Jewish, Clinton supporter and pins down a state that Democrats must win to elect a president. The problem is that he just doesn’t look or sound much like a president.

5. Al Gore: Back again! We don’t think he would do it, but it’s possible. The question: Does he drive off more independents and Republicans than he attracts?

6. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. (Pa.): He’s only 48 years old and elected to the Senate just in 2006, so it doesn’t make much sense to have two young first-term Senators on the ticket. Also, he would be an insult to his blood enemy, Rendell. But otherwise he’s a ticket-balancer: Catholic, pro-life, pro-gun. He endeared himself to Obama campaigning against the Rendell organization in Pennsylvania.

7. Sam Nunn: The former senator hasn’t run office since ‘92, so it’s doubtful how much he would help in the probably unwinnable state of Georgia, and he would be 71 years old when elected. He is still anathema to the gay community for his opposition to “don’t say, don’t tell”. Nevertheless, his national security experience makes him attractive to some party insiders.

8. Sen. Hillary Clinton (N.Y): Immensely improbable if only because it brings Bill Clinton back into the picture.

Republican:
1. Mitt Romney: He’s on top of the picture with backing from Bush White House, many conservatives and money-raisers. The negatives are that he still is not first on McCain’s dance card and never has polled well nationally.

2. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty: McCain likes him, and he is one of the few eligible GOP governors. But it’s hard to see what he brings to the table. He’s not considered very conservative, and he can’t carry Minnesota for the ticket.

3. Rob Portman: He looked much stronger a month ago. But now his background as a Bush Cabinet official is hurting him. Also, polls show his background as congressman from Cincinnati does not help him much in the rest of Ohio. Still, he is an extremely able, attractive conservative.

4. Florida Gov. Charlie Crist: He might seem the most improbable president since Chester Arthur. But McCain likes him, and he owes him big for his endorsement that may have decided the Florida primary—and the nomination. He erased one question mark last week when he announced he was getting married.

5. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal: The 36-year-old first-year governor always was a long shot, but the steam went out of his balloon when he promised state legislators he would sign their pay raise (Mistake No. 1) and then vetoed the bill (Mistake No. 2). Still a favorite of many conservatives.

6. Sen. John Thune (S.D.): A late starter, who is still revered in party circles as the man who defeated Tom Daschle in 2004. But he is an earmarker, and running with anti-earmark McCain would be difficult.

Personally, since I’m some sort of a blend of demopublicgreen thing….and at this stage of the fright fest does anything really matter???
Okay so go with Biden Obama…its a nice square off to a MckillerCain and Mittens Romney…

Thats my two cents…this was a nice sidetrack given I’m absolutly pissed at the Bush administrations staged Iranian Missle test today.

What could possibly be next?!?!
Stayed tuned as the Democratic Convention may be chock full of Bomb Threats, assassination attempts, and Bush and Clinton admininstation meanderings

Unite For Change

Filed under: Anything Goes, Democratic Convention 2008, Republican Convention 2008, Denver, Convention City 2008, Democratic Convention Boston — DNC 2008 @ 2:56 pm

Democratic Conventtion 2008 Denver

Yes let’s unite – lets all have one great hugenormous mofo of a democratic spoonfest with each other!

Unite for change is one hell of a slogan…Record numbers turned out for the primaries…The cast of doubt is in and it says can Obama deliver us from the Evil empire we have all been held hostage by for close to eight gut wrenching years or is the party weakened by him being the first candidate of color who; in all likelihood, is going to be saddled with the baggage of the HRC as a running mate if for no other reason but to increase the odds to defeat the war economy fulfillment requirement presidential candidate for the republicans in McCain.

So where do YOU come down on this people?

The continued message of Change is wonderful it attaches hope to the candidate – a hope that things will change – do ALL Americans want this ambiguous change? What is this CHANGE – what does it entail outside of the paradigm shift and sea change from the previous status quo we have grown comfortably numb with?

Call it in the air…So just what is it we are calling it for – heads or tails? What is at risk? What’s to gain? IS that so much to ask – some friggin details?

YEAH YEAH – Hands in the air pump the fist woo hoo CHANGE yeah CHANGE IS GOOD?

Who says it’s a change for the better and how will we know without calling it in the air – Heads or Tails?

Let’s unite before the republicans all fornicate us….

Policy over Party makes more sense every day – doesn’t it?

Let’s all scratch our heads while spooning and wonder just what the hell is that poking us in the behind….yep - it’s the Republicans sticking it up our ass hard and fast – Ouch gosh oh gee that’s starting to hurt…UNITE!

BTW: Hotel Rooms are GONE - So now what are you going to do? Remember Boston?

OBAMA vs McCain
US Citizens begin to Migrate…

Well, it has been sometime since I have felt the nudge in me to Blog about the election.

Thank god HRC is done lollygagging and realized that her power mongering herd of Terry, Billy Boy and the like were just plain out of skullduggery and trickery or they all just may have wanted to go out and shoot a round of golf or relax on a 300 foot yacht in the tropics - Who knows?

I for one think Hil will resurface and do great harm to the Democratic party prior to the convention - I’m sure there is one last breath of self important deliverance left in her troupe.

Is it unfortunate that McCain will win this election by default? We all have some soul searching to do. Is there a leader among them or us able to cultivate a grass roots revolution of sorts or is one already in the making?

We spend billions on the fight to protect the oil fields while the Bush and Bin Laden families nest eggs grow by leaps and bounds.

Prices for everything are skyrocketing.

The US dollar is at the weakest of my lifetime.

United States Citizens - We are all mongrels and are about to become the worlds newest immigrants. Watch our general population flee to Ireland, Europe and Asia to put our hard work and genius into another economy - all hail the largest migration or should I say retreat from the US in our history.

Everyday, I hear sad stories from usually light hearted, hard working and once prosperous friends and business acquaintances - there is a general tone of dismay as our country frustrates us in its failure to launch.

What was once a inspiration for me as turned into a wasteland of fiber and bandwidth - the site Obama has launched is Fight the Smears - Are we in a schoolyard or playground here, middle or elementary….this is ridiculous ARE ANY OF THE CANDIDATES dealing in the same realities that we are?

Hello anyone out there???

DEMCON WATCH!

Filed under: Anything Goes — DNC 2008 @ 6:18 pm

Love this Blog - Matt you are a true dedicated spirit to the art of blogging and keeping the court of public awareness open for business. Thank you.

We particularly admire the Obama Tracker!
Imagine the ridiculousness going on here…the Denver Convention is 0ver 10 million short in its fundraising efforts…now isn’t that something?
< This was posted this evening on DemCon....Thanks for the information gathering !

The Denver Host Committee continues to lag in its convention fund-raising efforts, missing a Monday goal of raising $40.6 million, falling short by almost $11 million. The committee reported raising $29 million at the close of business on Monday, a disappointing showing for a committee that had promised to have more in the bank by now. - NY Times

Some of the problems have nothing to do with the late-decided primary:
Rick Ridder, a Denver-based Democratic strategist who has helped the city’s convention efforts, said the shortfall is a significant concern.

“Without a doubt, there was tentativeness on the part of a lot of major companies because they didn’t know who the nominee was going to be,” Ridder said. “And frankly, Denver is not a major corporate center. Many of the corporations who contributed to Boston (site of the party’s 2004 convention) just haven’t seen advantages to coming here.” - AP

But Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper certainly isn’t giving up. He was in Kansas City recently:

He had less than an hour to be at The Capital Grille to meet with five high-powered movers and shakers and either extract money from them for the Democratic National Convention or get them to hook him up with other potential donors. The clock was already ticking. This trip - the last fundraising effort before the Denver 2008 Host Committee hits its Monday deadline to raise $40.6 million - would be quick. Essentially 24 hours of meetings stacked upon meetings stacked upon meeting.
And the outcome?

“They liked me. This was a successful evening. They’re all going to work for our success. One guy will write a check,” Hickenlooper said. “I don’t know yet, but he gave me his card and said, ‘Send me your information and I’ll write you a check.’ So whether that’s $25,000 or $50,000 - he’s a fairly small restaurant owner - so I don’t know if it will be really big dollars, maybe $5,000 or $10,000.”

Now this is seriously getting way too out of hand…whats next pan handling on the corner “Will work for Convention Funding” - Come on Mayor do we really need a lesson in poor party planning ?

Last note: Al Gore finally decide to support Obama tonight! Must be the Clintons at work for that VP nomination….
gee thanks Al…

Obama - NH is only the start!
NH Primary - IT’s ALL OVER!

Filed under: Anything Goes, Democratic Convention 2008, Democratic Candidates 2008 — DNC 2008 @ 8:56 pm

Where does one go to derive the ammunition to support the candidate they want to win the election? Is it all one “Zeitgeist - The Movie” conspiracy theorization after another? I get so confused - I don’t know what to believe - so I’m a sucker and go with my heart ( we all know the rapture / pain that mind set can deliver…) the passion - the message - the one who will in fact make CHANGE a reality or at least has convinced me to give him a shot at it…O B A M A.

I’m not a NH voter but I do know many of them; on this the eve of the primary and leading up to it I have been barraged with calls from various campaigns asking me to volunteer time and energy - Well I’m doing that right now to show support of the candidate I endorse!

I really have supported only one candidate and have only contributed to one campaign…I urge all my voting friends ( I have many who I can’t seem to motivate to get out and vote) to head into the polls tomorrow and select Barack Obama. I have had so many people ask me “What is he going to do?”, What type of changes is he going to make?”, What is all this talk of change?” and so on…have faith and hang in there - we let Bush go on and on for way too long when he and his crime boss VP should have been prosecuted and impeached on any number of occasions - so give OBAMA a chance - let’s see what he’s got!

The arguments are many and of course politics is a funny sort of thing; just when you think you may have it figured out a slow hanging curve confounds you to no end - strike three…

This time around it is clear - the revolution is now and change is on the minds of many, many who have not bothered to vote or have miscast votes in the past.

It is Obama time people.

The ” Missing Class” ; many may remember this situation referred to as the working poor…barely enough to get by, not enough to qualify for various subsidies or benefits and certainly never enough to generate any savings to speak of - if anyone can alleviate the pressure of this situation its the foresight minded Obama.

We have suffered long enough with an arrogant ignorant leader and we certainly don’t need another Clinton cabinet fueled by politically and financially motivated favors. We all love Dennis but ..hmmm he’s just not electable enough for the masses ( he does get some major coolness points for taking the stage with Ani DiFranco at a recent concert held in Boston though)

It’s truly time people - do you feel it?

Feel it! Get out and VOTE - Vote Smart - Vote Obama!

Obama has made the soil fertile enough to plant a garden that will grow beyond our wildest of dreams!

Hillary..Helloooo

Filed under: Anything Goes, Democratic Convention 2008, Republican Candidates 2008 — DNC 2008 @ 10:32 am

Okay folks..LADIES HELLO?

This is absurdness to the highest degree…Really? NAH not at all!

Change- Ideas- and an enormous reduction in the luggage filled with favors and promises department to be carried to the oval office upon election.

We know Billy boy would be the catalyst behind the Clinton Presidency - While Clinton did well when he was in office ( wink wink) Do we really want the US to speak and point to the Bush and Clinton families as the catalyst for our country we hung our hats on for so so many years…I HOPE NOT! I saw Live Free or Die Hard - we are about as close to the real deal Fire Sale happening as ever before…you know its true..go ahead stick your head back in the sand..nice right.

God Bless the people who actually decided this year is the year we are finally going to vote - the year we are as mad as hell and we are not going to take it anymore..RISE UP, RISE UP - RISE and shine and give Barack your glory glory…Corny YES!

So with Barack hammering Iowa will he pull it out in NH - hmmm

Don’t be surprised by a strong outcome for Edwards.

I took a break from this blog because my energy level to respond to the ignorance of our nation and the people was exhausting me. Where are the rebels the free thinkers, the leaders of the next revolution..Hello is anybody out there that has truly had enough of all of this yet?

Hillary Slings the Most Hugest Mud Pie!

Filed under: Democratic Convention 2008 — DNC 2008 @ 3:54 pm

Yes that Hillary!

By far this is the MOST diabolical thing done to date in this exhausting road to the Democratic Primary and Convention.
And who is Bob Novak again?

The “I know something you don’t know”
that Hillary et all have thrown in the face of reporters and paparazzi starving for new fodder for the lemmings to indulge in is without question the most obnoxious and hopefully obvious distraction and roadblock witnessed to date!
Come on all you wonderful intelligent reporters; when someone sends you down a dark path to search for the unknown instead of directing your attention to them it screams suspicion loudly…
Poor secondly placed Obama now has to spend all of his energy be it publicly or privately defending himself against this obtuse accusation. How unfair of Hill – I mean talk about kicking a candidate while he is down – her brutality knows no limits!
Obama’s poor performance in last week’s debate just wasn’t enough for the blood thirsty Clinton crusade – after embarrassing himself with the Illegal Immigrant license issue which Hillary fast tracked on the backtrack Hillary immediately sends the kill shot and throws the tabloidinal press masses right in his already littered path. The 2008 Democratic race is gross especially compared to the Republican smearing of the 2004 race. At least the Dems were getting attacked and feasted on by the Republicans instead of the current cannibalistic state they find themselves in.
Let’s behead the top three iconic posers in favor of the open minded libertine democratDennis Kucinich he’s already closing in on Edwards anyway.

So as to not seem so slanted…ahem!
Does Bob Novak have a decent bone in his body because we know his brain and moral fiber are in need of reparations… and we certainly don’t want this scoop journalist to be out of commission for too long.
Please read the Carpetbagger Report’s precise take on Mr. Novak and this smearland adventure he is partaking in. Ahh journalism for all the right reasons there Mr. Novak…just what did you trade off to get such an exclusive scoop?
Sorry Mr Novak but I have to disagree with you; this doesn’t pass the sniff test and wreaks a bit of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth stench sprayed in John Kerry’s direction in the 2004 campaign.

RON PAUL
ROCKING in The Free World!

Filed under: Anything Goes, Democratic Convention 2008, Republican Convention 2008 — DNC 2008 @ 9:44 am

Ron Paul is rolling along; is he an Independent, liberal, conservative, Republican, Democrat or still a Libertarian? Who cares - its the message right? Policy before Party -RIGHT?

He seems to stand and work for positice change ( policy over party). His small but growing grassroots campaign is gaining momentum. His prowess in the first debate made him a force to be considered for all parties!

As per usual volunteerism and getting in on the lastest politico craze etc is what each candidate strives for - Hell everyone loves the underdog…right?

OKay with the Hilary - Bill - Terry - machine in full effect - she’s all but is sitting in the same chair her hubby planted himself in. Right?

Is this Ron Paul for real? Can he make it happen - will enough people hear his voice and pay attention? Recently, he got some nice TV coverage in the Granite State
One thing is for sure Ron Paul has a passion and strong, vocal staff behind him.

Recons back to the 2004 DNC when the Boston host committee was built on strong passionate types like Terry McAullife, Fred Seigel, Julie Burns, Alan Leventhal, David Passafara, Micho Spring and many more!

Keep working the Granite State Ron!

I’ll Get to the Damn Debate Later…

Filed under: Anything Goes, Democratic Convention 2008, Democratic Convention Boston — DNC 2008 @ 9:12 am

After getting aggravated with ” the event that will not be mentioned” - A change of pace attributed to clever anger management drives this post.

There are many resources surrounding the Democratic Convention past and present. Took the time to review the edges of the top Google searches surrounding it and yawn -zzzzzzzzzz - utilizing my well honed intuitive search skill sets a number of relaventant , irrelevant and sideways searches were discovered - but firstand foremost!

Lets take a look at what the Dems site is all about and well more yawn…sigh how they are presenting themselves to the World!
Hmm GREAT OVERVIEW - honest leadership & open government, lots of claims about energy independence and healthcare, education blah blah… Come on make it a PARTY you want to join in on - ” tell us some of those stories for the flies the the walls - you gottta sell it papi!!.

Okay up next! Mega -wikepedia results - Wikepedia… hmm always be a bit suspect of an organicly nourished information database.

What’s more interesting is the online resource 2004DNC - yep it’s the date of the 2004 Convention held in Boston as well as the launch year of this online convention and political resource while the site is deep in content for the 2004 convention it also has the latest and up to date information on 2008 convention and election, the site archives so much it must be over 1000pages deep, everything fromVolunteerism ( actually this was one of the things that really got the National Party’s attention), 2004 Committee members, nationally, local, supporters and even lists all candidates Repulican and Democrat, up to date election poll results and linkage to a knowledge base as large as GWU! There is quite a back story on this site known as the Rogue Website by Boston Media and The Democratic Party…

08dnc.com A clear total rip of 2004dnc - 2004dnc was first in the world to create a for profit website centered aroud a political convention - the idea is genius …but again another story. 08dnc is “The Ultimate Independent Guide to the 2008 Democratic National Conventionand the - take a deep breath…Center of the Universe for 2008 Denver’s Democratic National Convention- sigh …. basically a tourist site for the convention…not a great long term resource but will do fine for Denver!
2008 Democratic Convention Watch- demconwatch.com…Tracks news about the Democratic Convention in Denver…This is great - simple and very informative!

Now lo and behold the Democratic Convention Guide gets two results in Google Top ten! - The little blog is getting found!
Now feeling a lot better I can better focus on the Hilary stomping debacle this week…and to one of their own they deliver such deliberate and horrific acts of dismantlement…Hilary seemingly is the only one ready for the White House or is she just another puppet ina pants suit?

Republicans VETO Children’s Health Care
REPUBLICAN - our eighth dirty word!

Filed under: Democratic Convention 2008 — DNC 2008 @ 8:32 am

Come on!

This is just wrong!

The most wonderful and innocent citizens in our country are just not important enough for the Republicans support. Do we really even need to delve deeper into this to realize that this is just plain wrong!

Shall we review what is supported and in favor by the Republicans? Do we really need to?

I think this absurd position on Childrens Health care doesn’t require much deep thought . What it does is solidify the word REPUBLICAN as the eighth dirty word.

What good does this almighty veto hold for the virtuous Re%p@#lican*s.

For the record this sickens me. Are there any Republicans out there that have children that will suffer / die due to this insane thinking?

Have a nice day….

Johnny boy Edwards is gosh darn pissed!

Filed under: Anything Goes, Democratic Convention 2008, Democratic Candidates 2008 — DNC 2008 @ 1:16 pm

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards unleashed on our beloved front-runner Sen. Hilly Baby, D-N.Y., Friday, calling her a “corporate Democrat,” he compared top Clinton campaign strategist Mark Penn to former Bush aide Karl Rove and told all of Penn’s ties to Blackwater USA, the embattled private firm of military contractors accused by the Iraqi government of firing upon and killing 11 unarmed Iraqi civilians last month. Is that playing nice - nice?

“Bush has been a perfect example of cronyism because Blackwater has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Republicans and to President Bush,” Edwards said in an interview with the Associated Press while campaigning in Iowa. “I also saw this morning that Sen. Clinton’s primary adviser, Mark Penn, who is like her Karl Rove — his firm is representing Blackwater.”

YIKES ! WHoa…anyone surprised by this??

In addition to his role as a top campaign consultant to the Clinton campaign, Mark Penn is the worldwide president and CEO of Burson-Marsteller. The firm’s lobbying subsidiary BKSH helped Blackwater’s top executive, Erik Prince, prepare for his congressional testimony this week.

Penn could not be reached for comment, but Burson-Marsteller spokesman Paul Cordasco said in a statement that “through a personal relationship, BKSH, a subsidiary of Burson-Marsteller, helped Blackwater prepare for their recent hearing before Congress. With the hearing over, BKSH’s temporary engagement has ended.”

The Clinton campaign - hello Clinton campaign - Helloooo - of course the Clinton Campaign had NO COMMENT! -

Rise Above we have to Rise Above!

NH 2008 Democratic Candidate Debate

Filed under: Democratic Convention 2008 — DNC 2008 @ 7:37 am

Dartmouth College Democratic Debate
WOW Big Shocker - focus on troops coming home , focus on troops not going to Iran , talks on ending the war - which one? Does Afghanistan count here, easy target attacks on Hil ( yes I am guilty of this as well)–blah blah blah blah …Poor Dennis Kucinich; he got his years confused and claimed to have the troops home by April 2007….IS this going to get any better- this is what we get - Oh and by the way, before I forget - Yesterday the Taliban kidnapped two Red Cross staff in Afghanistan - Comfy Cozy yet?

So- one more debate completed , one more wasted night of watching more of the same - will this ever change? I don’t particularly care for Hil but she hardly warranted the gang bang she got last night - Can the democratic candidates please focus on the issues, the republicans and most importantl start getting to POLICY over PARTY concerns.
This should be an exciting time for this party the table is set to walk right into the white house - if this continues these jokers will get steamrolled….Where is the excitment that Howard Dean and Al Gore brought us…John Kerry be damned, this party needs an exciting new presence to step it UP- Obama seemingly already wasted the money shot early on - You feel me?

PLEASE Check out and support http://www.nationalpopularvote.com/
Our right to vote is a treasure , it was fought hard for a lot of blood was shed and lives lost - don’t waste it - get educated on the players and GET OUT AND VOTE people!

AL GORE FOR PRESIDENT
I know I didn’t do the obligatory 9/11 entry….

Filed under: Democratic Convention 2008 — DNC 2008 @ 11:21 am

I waited a couple of days to see how the rest of the country and the world handled the 9/11 story.
After careful consideration I decided that for the most part our country is numb and not so aware that it could all happen again and unfortunatly we are going to have to be slapped around a lot more before we learn a lot of hard lessons…
Our country isn’t a “joke” we not “weak” we are not “all just like George and his puppeteers”…..

At some point on the horizon we will have to unite and overthrow the status quo we allow to be led by such a bunch of idiots -
I love this country - I love what it stands for - I don’t like how it is being run and we are headign for fiscal disaster, Energy Issues, health care whoas, we neglect the young when they need us most and the old when we should draw from their experiences…

If we don’t alll agree that energy is a huge issue and explore alternative sources to the hilt we are ignorant and deserve our fate. IF we don’t all agree that global warming isn’t going away and we need to rally a round a plan on how we ALL address it - burn mother fucker burn…

Reflect …reflect…reflect…We still suffer with the stooge of the house in George for a bit longer…who will be next? Line up sinlge file pleae and take a number if you are waiting for the paperwork to run for the US Presidency in 2008…does it matter which of the next pile of uninspiring drones takes the reins of our deteriorating country…I mean what are the real differences and what power do we really have - are we really being served or just part of the bilking of America with the illusion that a popular vote has any impact on the results…..how much longer do we tolerate this?

We donate , we lobby , we campaign for what? We Blog , we debate for what - YES PEOPLE IT REALLY IS THAT FUCKING useless and a waste of time-christ - I wish i had some answers rather than just pointing out the painful truths… sure it is stimulating and all that and gosh golly wow we get to speak out…thats why I waited to write - I had to really ponder my next statement….

AL GORE FOR PRESIDENT - yep - AL GORE for PRESIDENT

I know yes his campaign may have been mishandled before - PEOPLE WE VOTED for AL Gore - HE won the popular VOTE!
Al knows whats up - young and old get him!

WE here in MASS started Draft Gore Massachusettes http://www.massforgore.com/2008/

So please GO ahead - lets look at all Al’s Negatives….then compare them to this one….

My husband was a great President - I am a weak and powerless female who stood by his sorry ass after he admitted to the American population he did not have sexual relations with that women - of course not - since when is oral sex considered sexual relations…So hip hip hooray for Hil she stood by her sorry ass man after a white house Politiwhore sucked her hubbys penis - yeah thats what happened - christ come on we just forget that right - weak and powerless Hialry - had to hold on to Billy Boy for his support in her run for NY Politics ( she fucking moved to NY to run for office - WTF is that all about anyway?) OF course she supports his organizations and they both apparently have endless staff to write books for them as well….ARE WE SERIOUS IN EVEN CONSIDERING THIS person for office…..Hi honey i’m home hope you don’t mind i let a young intern suck me off today - whats for dinner?

Still pissed and For real why not Bobby Gzus for President
Have a wonderful day!

Oh Boy - Oh Boy here comes the BIG BAD Mass Dems…..Seems as though they learned from the 2004DNC.com boys - it took you long enough to catch on !

This site and the millions that will follow it over a lifetime of hideous USA politics offer more unnecessary clutter for us to sort out surrounding the ridiculous political system we have in place here in America!

Those of us like myself who long for “Policy over Party” will suffer until we organize an effort to overturn the morbid way this country goes about presenting leadership offerings; although creating such an organization seems hypocritical and ironic.

So YAWN YAWN YAWN….So things get uglier and uglier this is just silly - I gotta get out of this place!

What a waste of digital space!

Select Your Ideal 2008 Presidential Candidate
by: JekyllnHyde
Sat Aug 25, 2007 at 19:46:06 PM EDT

Have you ever wondered how you can compare your positions on various public policy issues — the Iraq War, school choice, social security, stem cell research, and the like — with that of the 2008 presidential candidates? You can now go to a web site which allows you to answer over two dozen questions while assigning a low or high priority to most of these policy questions. The results will rank the candidates (both Democratic and Republicans) who agree with you in descending order. The ‘Theoretical Ideal Candidate’ will, obviously, top the charts with an 100% ranking, followed by your choice based on your answers, e.g., Dennis Kucinich with 85%, Barack Obama with 82%, Al Gore with 80%, and so on.
The list includes several candidates who either aren’t running (as yet) as well as others who have dropped out of the race.

How does it work? The answer below the fold.

JekyllnHyde :: Select Your Ideal 2008 Presidential Candidate
Go to this web site and click any candidate’s name and a profile pops up which gives a summary of the candidate’s policy positions.

Next, click the 2008 SelectSmart.com Presidential Candidate Selector and you’ll see the following guidelines

This selector features over two dozen names of announced candidates and politicians considered by pundits to be possible White House contenders. You may select a position for every issue, or just select those issues important to you. The candidates’ positions are based upon their voting records, special interest group ratings and the candidates’ statements in the public record. In cases where a would-be president has no known public record or statement on an issue, they are not given a score, which tends to reward candidates who take stands on more issues. Also candidates for president who take consistent and stronger stands tend to get higher scores. All the candidates and/or their staffs were written to and given an opportunity to clarify or correct their views as characterized here.

The questions listed are, in most cases, followed by a low or high priority that you place on the particular issue. Remember to choose one or the other

1. What would be your ideal candidate’s position on the IRAQ WAR at the beginning of the war?

* Would support fair trade policies.
(”Fair trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, which seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers - especially in the South.

Obama finished…
Is that really a race card Mrs Obama?

Filed under: Democratic Convention 2008 — DNC 2008 @ 10:56 am

As a frequent viewer of the Daily Show I was prety much floored with Obama’s comments last nigtht - WTF? In a nutshell he admitted to being a part of the machine that feeds us lies and mistruths day after day on the campaign trail. I am at best sickened by this admission. Is he trying to lead us to beleive that he is a better choice becuase he has admitted beigna dishonest politicion wrapped up in the as per usual entrapments of policy and voter machinations? Is he trying to sway us to beleive he is the lesser of all evils with such an admission? Hey how about the sidestepping of the “experience” question - yep you are correct Cheney and company had quite a resume …waht the fuck does that mean - experience is a bad thing? People 60 and 70 years old make bad decisions? What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

I was a fervent demo and Obama supporter - Blinded BY the Light! Thanks so much Mr Obama - you have brought me back to the place you met me - no confidence in anyone to run this country…this is absurd - how can any of you continue to just support him because he is the lesser of evils - Hey you, up there in ManchVegas - Wake up! Obama as with the others you support so blindly out of fear are really not whom they present themsleves as.

Mrs Obama -Please get a grip - I’m glad you are doen talkign about the idiotic hosuhold refrences about Barry’s socks etc… ” If you can’t run your own house you cant run the white house” missle you aimed at Hilary is really a low blow. Is this where the Obama’s are heading- guttoral utterings on the campaign trail filled with slinging?

I want my campaign donation money BACK!

What a fraud…What is this fear she is speaking of? Is there soimething new? We all know it’s a race card being drawn- right people? She is in fear of her husband? Her daughters ? Yes, yes we are all aware of the hate breed and that hate runs rampant in the USA - race, religion, whatever, it is present we all know it

I thought this campaign was centered around change - a sea change sweeping the entire country - the freshness - the new ideas - the reshaping of the USA - You know, you are right Barry - you are as full of shit as the next candidate. My question is when does this stop? How does this stop? Let’s all take a look back to 1776 and we may get a glimpse of what it takes to overrun a governing body that continues to keep our best interests isolated and agendaless.

No wonder I took so long between posts I’m so fed up - How about the rest of you lemmings?
Anyone ready to move to Canada, Tazmania?

Shit God Damn Get Off Your Ass and Jam - One Nation under a Groove ” ahhh The gospel according to a better George - Yes Mr Clinton let’s escape with Gwen , Take me to another place - let me understand your plan!
The frustration continues to mount as the Dick Almighty blesses us with his exponentially growing arrogance towards “we the peeps”. Blasphemous A La Mode claims do gooder Dems!

You see The Dick is above ALL as he refuses and does not turn over requested documents, says no to disclosing the size or payroll of his staff…is that even legal in terms of “we the people”.

Step up Dems - Screw it! Step Up “We the Peeps” - Christ, Big Dick why not take God George on a nice hunting trip - imagine the possibilities…

Hmmmm Nancy Pelosi acting President of the USA…Y I K E S is that a good thing? Pinch me please - Toto we certainly aren’t not in Kansas anymore.

NH will speak soon enough and the dominoes will fall and we are all hopeful the tyranny and madness will end. Will it?

My fear is it won’t happen before many more US Troops are murdered in Iraq and we drop Big Bang Bombs on South Korea or Iran.

Shit, God Damn, get off your ass and JAM!~

It’s going to be 95 degrees today - Take me away to Arcadia National Park….

Considerations of which Island I will end up on or is Tuscany a better choice…Take me to another land…a game of horse-shoes -A game of HORSE-SHOES

Will someone or something offer posi -inspiration?

Morrisey concert tomorrow - now that sure will be a pick me up!

Justa litle tweaked and in need of a peach.

Barak Obama wants your MONEY!
Inspiration for Money ….the votes aren’t FREE

Filed under: Democratic Convention 2008 — DNC 2008 @ 11:57 am

So here I am supporting Barak - Change is good!

The PUSH FOR MONEY is ON!

Please make this stop Obama - please make the moola grubbing political machination end PLEASE - Okay I’m really hearing it from right left middle etc!

Obama, PLEASE address out friends in NH who are questioning the taxation situation just as we did to win our freedom…

So…WHERE IS THE NEXT TEA PARTY!

So here is the latest dribble if you haven’t gotten poked with the “Inspiration for Dollars” Politicodrama!

I liked the Obama Babes message - is this country really going down the one way street of Sublime!

If so Please “CARESS ME DOWN!”

So without further delay here’s the weekly cornholio BS-

Candidates typically spend a week like this — right before the critical June 30th financial reporting deadline — on the phone day and night, begging Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs to write huge checks.

Not me. Our campaign has rejected the money-for-influence game and refused to accept funds from registered federal lobbyists and political action committees.

But there are serious financial consequences to that decision.

Cutting off the flow of easy Washington money means we have to work harder. Instead of relying on a handful of powerful interests, we must bring together hundreds of thousands of supporters, each owning an individual piece of our movement.

It’s one thing to talk about financing campaigns differently. It’s another for us to take that risk and put our trust in one another.

The June 30th deadline will prove that this era of broken politics and widespread cynicism is coming to a close. We’re ready for that change, and together we can turn the page.

The rest of the country, and the world, is watching. They want to see if we can shake up the politics of the past and set the tone for this election and the future of our democracy.

Now is the time to make your first donation and be part of something big:

http://www.barackobama.com/inspire

But don’t stop there.

If we’re going to get hundreds of thousands of people to join our movement, we need to do something different. That’s why I’m turning the rest of this fundraising drive over to you.

This is the last you will hear from me until after the June 30th deadline.

From here on out, your stories and your passion will determine our success. When you make a donation, I want you to share what inspired you to join our movement. For the rest of the week, those stories — including your story — will drive the results.

Something powerful and personal inspired you to join our movement. It may be your family’s rising health care costs or a relative fighting in Iraq. You might be fed up with corruption in Washington or frustrated by how petty and divisive our national politics has become.

Whatever your reasons, they will connect with someone else and they will make a difference. Make your donation now and share what inspired you to support our movement for change:

http://wwww.barackobama.com/inspire

Pundits and Washington insiders use these fundraising deadlines to measure the viability of campaigns. They like to judge potential in dollars, as if money alone someho
