		<description>&lt;p&gt;“why are these people trying to party like it’s 1995?   Because running against your own base worked so very well then for the Democrats. “&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, it did.&lt;br /&gt;
Well, it got Clinton re-elected, anyway.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Mr. ReddHedd — I’ll pass your regards on to Bob; he’s been an invaluable help to us here.  I suspect his poker skills have been one of our best assets as we reinvigorate the local Dem Party.  Certainly wouldn’t want to bet against himself!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                141              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kathie –&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m sorry that I have to go out right now to do physical therapy, and can’t scout around too much right now, but 2 websites I think would be worth a look –&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;democrats.org&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;thinkprogress.org&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Poke around on both sites, I would think there would be something handy there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good luck at your school!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will you be leaving papers in public areas on campus?  Wouldn’t want to see you get in trouble if you push literature in class….&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hi Ms K8!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for your input! My class is a grad class of piano teachers this semester - and don’t plan to do much with them (other than what I might put on my bulletin board inside. But I am allowed to post anything I want in my studio -) and I have people I interact with that are outside of school that I would like to have something to give to them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I only have the next three days to do these things where my students would read them (Thus my message of ‘only a few hours’; Actually, that’s it!)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks again!&lt;br /&gt;
Kathie&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks so much!!!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-355814&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;hadituptohere @&lt;br /&gt;
                149              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here’s a candidate profile:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1.Opposes a woman’s right to choose;&lt;br /&gt;
2. favors prayer in public schools;&lt;br /&gt;
3. In favor of a constitutional amendment barring gay marriage;&lt;br /&gt;
4. voted for the war;&lt;br /&gt;
5. voted for the bankruptcy “reform” act;&lt;br /&gt;
6. opposes gun control;&lt;br /&gt;
7. voted for the president’s torture bill;&lt;br /&gt;
7. voted for the president’s illegal surveillance bill;&lt;br /&gt;
8. describes himself as a “Jesus lover;”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If this doesn’t sound like a Democrat, it’s because it isn’t; it’s HAROLD FORD, JR.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is “Blue Dog” another way of saying hypocrite?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is the problem with the Kos strategy that seems to have such a following among the leading “liberal” Blogs. For instance, in my district the Democratic candidate was running on repealing the “Death Tax.”&lt;br /&gt;
Think about it, once these very conservative “Democrats” get elected the return rate is about 97%. Republicans must find this hilarious. We are spending time and money to elect what in any other era would be moderate Republicans as “Democrats.”&lt;br /&gt;
The whole thing is a farce. I will vote for the Democrat not because I believe in what they stand for but only because it is the only logical “choice.”&lt;br /&gt;
This strategy of electing any politician with a  D behind their name is insane.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Corporate Greed: You Ain’t Got a Dog in the Hunt&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Have you got a million dollars in the bank? No? Half a million? NO? Then you’re not a capitalist. You don’t have a dog in the hunt. You’re a worker.&lt;br /&gt;
Do you get richer when oil prices go up and trade deals are signed making it easier for foreigners to take American jobs? No? Then you haven’t got a dog in the hunt. You’re a worker.”&lt;br /&gt;
“When the Republican Party comes after your social security checks and your Mom’s Medicare benefits, trust me, you’re in that hunt, only it looks like you’re the hunted not the hunter.”&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;*How about crediting the artist, Jane? George Rodrigue is practically the Bob Timberlake of the Deep South. His art is a little more interesting but no less commercial.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Mr. ReddHedd here.  In fact, I am the owner of a few of Bob’s books (note my use of his first name as if I know him - I don’t, but feel as if I do :-).  I credit him with whatever Hi/Lo skills I possess.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Organic George — you got that right.  I picture Charlton Heston exclaiming breathlessly, &lt;i&gt;“The netroots is PEOPLE!!!”&lt;/i&gt;, a la Soylent Green…&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They haven’t figured out yet that we are not a bunch of kooky kids or radical extremists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are the upwardly mobile, highly wired, well-read voter with a greater propensity towards disposable income; we are the target market they dream of in their corporate-cocooned sleep, the market segment they mourn as they look at television’s missing demographics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And we have the power to kick their collective asses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Heh.  This is gonna’ be fun.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
