Hoping we can include Diane as part of Blue Am.

I think she has a real shot at taking down this wounded incumbent as it becomes clear Don Young is part of the Abramoff scandal.

”People see that there’s a wounded moose in their midst,” Benson said about Young. ”I remind them it’s like a pack of wolves circling the moose. It took the first wolf to strike to start bringing it down. The fact is, I’m the one who was out there when it didn’t look possible. I frankly think that’s the kind of representation people need.”

Fantastic!

Now, add a touch of American Dream idealism and how we have to protect ourselves and our political system from criminals like him.

Push the discussion towards a higher ideal!

via this dkos diary (on the coming pr campaign to tell us what a wonderful job congress is doing) from bruce fein at slate:

… But Speaker Pelosi has at least figuratively joined hands with the White House in opposition. Emulating the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, she has threatened the removal of Michigan Rep.

my bold.

is this true?

Wow! Well, if that’s true, I guess it answers the question of how committed she is to her position.

Republicans aren’t Conservatives anymore. They sold that out when Bush came in. That’s why they can’t find a nominee that they like.

The only sensible possibilities for them to do is stay home and not vote, vote for the anti-war Ron Paul or switch parties and vote for John Edwards.

If they don’t wipe out this Neocon vermin in their party, then they are doomed forever. They get one chance.

John Edwards — Best Vermin-Killer the Dems are offering this year!

“I’m sure Condi will tone down the rhetoric and rein in Cheyney and his minions.”

Can she do that while she’s busy underneath Recep Erdogan’s desk?

The idea we can protect ourselves from the individual who straps on an explosive vest and sets him or herself off is a fantasy. Hitting Iran feeds the fantasy that everything can be controlled.

Comparing Ahmadinejad to Hitler when you’re doing this kind of agit-prop…

George Orwell, is smiling, and saying:

“See! THAT’S what I meant about “doublethink”!”

Yeah. It’s beyond hypocrisy, since because they’re the Elect, the rules they make for others (such as Godwin’s Law) don’t apply to them.
