But the nonpartisan Campaign Finance Institute just issued a detailed study of Obama’s donor base and its giving. And that’s what the Institute found, to its own [...]
As long as the Constitution stands —
In the Constitution — Article I lays out the role of Congress and Article II lays out the role of the President, not the other way around. Thus Congress has a great deal of power to lead right now, if Senators and Members would only exercise their governing rights under the Constitution. But for too [...]
hate wins out
I could never say this half as well. I am grateful for Digby’s ability to put into words what the victory of hate over love means in California:
How people can vote for the first African American president in American history, with all that implies, while simultaneously voting to discriminate against gays is testament to the [...]
did you ever?
Did you ever think this day would come? The end of this interminable campaign, of course, but even more astounding, did you ever think the day would come when this nation would allow a black man to get to this point?
I didn’t. I can still hear the pundits and the talking heads pontificating about whether [...]
Vote~ There are lives in the balance
Today is the big day~ Please Vote!
This song encapsulates the need for change. Although it shows 1968 DNC footage, the scene of overreacting police played out again at the Republican National Convention, with a new twist, protest organizers were raided and arrested in a preemptive police state. For the record, at the Democratic Ntl [...]

Dave Dubya’s Endorsement
I was watching the Colbert Report the other night and was delighted to hear Stephen endorse Barack Obama for president. Yes, what a shock! Then he went on to explain his reason. He wants to get a good job running a combine on a new collective farm if Obama wins. Of course, Stephen said he [...]
Monday before TUESDAY marks the 11th hour.
What can you say when time is running out? Talk to yourself:
If you are a candidate, you would hope to say, “I have done my best; now the voters decide.”
If you are a voter who has already voted, you can say “Thank goodness!”
If you haven’t voted yet, you can say, “Whatever it takes . . [...]
Picture of The Day
If it were up to the people of Obama, Japan, the newest U.S. president would carry their name in to the White House.

It Rests In Your Hands
I am uneasy this election season because it matters more than ever in my lifetime, and because it rests in the hands of young and first time voters. It rests in the hands of the generation that can’t be polled. The generation that has grown up always owning a cell phone. And I hope you [...]

Georgia Sec of State lies about extending voter hours.
She’s an idiot or she thinks her constituents are. Secretary of State Karen Handel, a Republican, has claimed federal law ties her hands, preventing her from extending early voting hours.
It’s only because of Georgia’s well documented racist, discriminatory past that they are specifically mentioned in the 1965 Voter Rights Act. Section Five to be exact.
But [...]
View From The Bottom
Lately Mrs. Dubya and I have been recording the View to watch later in the evening. There are often spirited and heated exchanges during the Hot Topics portion of the show when the ladies start talking politics. As most of you know, John McCain was a guest on the program on September 12th. He didn’t [...]
Voting in Philly will be a mess..and the officials don’t care.
Her name is Marge Tartaglione, Chair of the Philadelphia voting commission. She is the slimeball that runs the voting division could give two shits that people will be standing for hours and hours to exercise their right to vote. She actually compares them to people that want Phillie’s baseball tickets in the video below. Another [...]
Will There Be Riots And Such?
I guess we will know Wednesday. The police all over the country are ramping up to quell the predicted unrest. I guess they realize that another stolen election by the fraudulent Refuglicans with the help of vote flipping machines reported all over from W. Virginia to Texas will cause the populace of the US to [...]
