[…] Saturday at the county convention, where thousands of Salt Lake County Democrats came together to show support and find help for the things that are killing this Nation on so many levels, a motion was made to impeach GWB. About half said yea, more said nay. I asked a young Lady who got up and walked out after voting nay, why she couldnâ€™t support the motion? She said it was just a waste of time with the Senate and House in control of Bushes cabal. I guess she was right, but isnâ€™t it too bad people are so cynical about how our Government works. A resolution was passed to enforce parental visitation rights. A motion was passed to increase funding for treatment of Meth. Addicts and their families. A resolution was put before the body to lower the speed limit in Salt Lake Co. and put more fuel-efficient cars on the roads. None of these were official resolutions, just the way people passed the time between voting and scheduled business. As I understand that witch I cannot name, prejudice and supremacy are losing their shine. Avarice stumbles in mid-stride to its natural uncoolness. Fonzi was cool because he was just. Patrick Fitzgerald may prove cooler, we trust. Business as usual canâ€™t â€œJustâ€ go on, while young people die, dreaming of dust. But who am I to say what balance the world will allow. […]

Jane is spot on.It seems we have no strong leadership. Here in Colorado our Senator Ken
“Republican Lite” Salazar supported Gonzales for AG & the credit industries Bankruptcy legislation. I am sick & tired of pay to play government at the expense of the middle class.

I Feel the same Jane. Look what happened to Russ Feingold on the censure motion.It’s like the Dems couldn’t get out of the room fast enough!
It’s like watching a team sitting on a 7 point lead in the first quarter thinking the games in the bag!

with a few notable exceptions,democrats are merely more polite republicans.they are simply the more liberal wing of the capitalist
party,and they get their lifeblood(Money)from the same source-corporate pacs and wealthy individuals.They are disconnected from the vast majority of their constituancy because lobby/corporate/large
private wealth talks and your concerns/needs walk.Right now,the congress is selling the internet,and democrats aren’t saying boo.
until public election funding is a reality,political television ads are banned,and campaign length is truncated,it’ll just be more o’ the same.Democrats are merely biding their time without rocking the boat too much so they can have their turn at the public trough.
how about Bill Moyers for President?he’s certainly got that part at least, figured out,and that’s square one.

we will all know we’ve been had if hrc ends up being the dems nominee at the top of the ticket/08.no sane person wants her no matter what their party affiliation or non-affiliation is.
i live in upstate ny and hillary and chuck are oblivious to the steady declines culturally,economically and in population we are enduring here.at one point,when hillary was apparently embaressed by the loud wailing and teeth-gnashing coming from central ny,she actually publicly lashed out,but in a coward’s style attacked the people instead of risking offense to republicans.the one person most responsible for the continuing agony in central ny is sherwood boelert,and hillary in a public rebuke,blamed the situation on “a lack of leadership in the community.”she did not name boelert,and made it sound like she wasn’t talking about him.i can’t tell you how much these remarks stung,and though i formerly
voted for and defended hillary,i now think of her as a carpetbagger and one hell of a hardhearted bitch
THANK GOD WE HAVE GOT AL GORE WHO CAN AND WILL WIN FOR ALL THE PEOPLE!

The story is true. If you go to http://tinyurl.com/nhs3r

I hope this isn’t a duplicate response. My computer is so slow, that I had to open a new browser in order to get this message to you and it has taken me a long time to complete this task.

It also doesn’t help when Dem candidates have longwinded mailers that don’t clearly say where they stand. If I have to read fifty pages, even if they’re 3-by-5 inches, I’m going to ignore the stuff first. I e-mailed the guy that did that, and let him know it was way too wordy. Closing line: ‘In 25 words or less: Why should I vote for you?’

Haven’t heard back yet. Don’t expect to. This one claims (on web site) to be a businessman and an instructor at the local state university. (I don’t think he used the word educator. If he did, that’s another strike against him.)

[…] Ok, done with part one. I’ve already found one interesting comment on the article. She seems to have drawn support from the article for the move left strategy (I’m not sure because she doesn’t use those words). […]

Unti we begin to talk about the elephant in the room, race we will remain a feckless political force.

The one “value” all reliable Red staters have in common is some degree of hostility to non-white American culture.

The “culture war” is in truth a complex set of encoded race-based grievances, real or imagined.

We lose in Red states because the Reeps figured out that the “southern strategy” also works like a charm in any rural American context.
