Again, I am writing this as a life long Democrat, but a Democrat who cherishes our need for opposing ideas in order to provide the best for our nation. Part of the Republicans biggest problem is their ego, which I mentioned in my previous post. I think another example of this can be seen in […]
The new jobless numbers are out, and they are worse than expected: Unemployment rate: 7.6% Jobs Lost In January: 598,000 (the most since 1974) Jobs Lost Last 12 Months: 3.5 Million Unemployed Workers: 11.6 million* A note about unemployed workers – this number does not include the so-called “underemployed” number (nor does the unemployment rate).

We have just endured eight years of “cowboy diplomacy” by George Bush. This has given us such zingers as “bring it on” and “we are going to conduct a crusade”. Bush’s mentality has further alienated this country from the rest of the world and extinguished our status as the shining city on the hill. One […]
Below the fold is the prepared remarks that Nancy Pelosi read on the House floor that was supposed to be the “partisan speech” she gave which pissed off Republicans. I have read it a few times now and can’t find a thing bad about it. It sounds like the Republicans are out looking for a […]
This is the absolute proof that McCain picked Sarah Palin for only one reason – to get Hillary supporters. This might not be the best way to reach out to those disillusioned Hillary Clinton supporters.

The biggest failure with the Iraq War has been the total lack of planning. The people who laid out good plans lost their jobs, and instead the administration has decided to wing the entire thing. That deadly mentality is continuing: The administration lacks an updated and comprehensive Iraq strategy to move beyond the “surge” of […]
What do we need? More free trade! The United States would break faith with a strong Latin American ally that has rescued itself from failure if the U.S. Congress refuses to approve a free-trade agreement with Colombia, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Thursday. more stories like this “I think it would be […]
Yesterday Matt Lauer asked Jim Cramer why he doesn’t lie to his viewers about the economy. Lauer exemplifies the state of today’s media with this very absurd statement. Instead of reporting the news, Lauer apparently thinks that reporters are to tell the people what they want (or what the media thinks they want) to hear. […]
Here’s Chris’ defense for his comment against Hillary: Matthews said his comments referred to the late 1990s, when Clinton made some appearances to support New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and impressed pols with her grace under pressure during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Shortly thereafter, she was asked to run for the Senate from New York. […]
