It's a strategy.ghost2 muses at Alegre's Corner on the FISA capitulation and suggests that it happened with Obama's full support and direction.This is not only Pelosi's position, but also Obama's position.You are naive if you think the compromise happened without the knowledge of Obama, and he is issuing a statement after the fact.

How many times in the last 7 1/2 years have we heard that?In 2000 the US Supreme Court stops the counting in Florida thereby handing the presidency to George W. Bush. Those of us who were willing to acknowledge GW as the legitimate winner of the election, but wanted to be sure by having the votes counted were told constantly by the rightwing to just "get over it." Worse, even John Kerry in 2004

We are not alone.Jean B. Grillo, an "over 50" writer in lower Manhattan, was pretty straightforward: "I am so tired as a white, ultra-liberal, McGovern-voting, civil-rights marching, anti-war fighting highly educated professional woman who totally supports Hillary Clinton to be attacked and vilified as racist and or dumb."

The PUMA movement is not about revenge. It is not about racism. It’s not about being immature. It is about holding the Democratic accountable for abandoning its principles and the people who strengthened its foundations. It is about not rewarding a Party that uses voter suppression techniques on its own members. We want to belong to a party that respects us and works with and for us. We don’t

This brought tears to my eyes.Steve Corbett: This party is the Democratic Party and Saturday’s meeting of its pompous rules and bylaws committee did more to dampen support for the mainstream party than any Republican ever could. The party elite told the protestors, by and large Democrats, that they would decide what is best for them. The protestors explained that they were not slaves and would

Anglachel nails it. Again. Think about this. Really think about this. A committee of people, behind closed doors and under pressure from a specific candidate to shore up his crumbling support, has functionally declared Michigan's votes null and void and has reallocated the delegates to suit themsleves. The will of the people was considered advisory, not definitive, and the will of the committee

Now that Michigan and Florida have been recognized (cough) by the DNC, we can now add in the popular vote from those two primaries into the popular vote count.

Sent just a few minutes ago...I am appalled at the ruling by the Rules and Bylaws Committee today in which both the Florida and Michigan delegations were regulated to ½ vote status (gosh, the US Constitution at least gave blacks 3/5 status), and unearned and uncommitted votes were awarded to a candidate in direct violation of the Democratic Party charter and delegate selection rules, not to

Lambert references this article in the TimesOnline (UK) which is primarily a hit piece on the Hillary Clinton and then opines that, regardless of the beating they took in the primaries, the Clintons will be good Democrats and give their full support to Barack Obama. The article covers what appears the latest trial balloon from the Obama campaign: It is not Barack Obama's responsibility to heal

We arrived on O'ahu on Friday around noon, grabbed a quick lunch at Eagles (I had a Mahimahi sandwich complete with tossed salad and the standard Hawaiian salad dressing...kind of a French dressing but not quite).

Shame on the Obama campaign for appointing a Reno woman as their CD-2 female at-large delegate to the national convention and ignoring the army of rural women who worked on his behalf. This was their opportunity to address the inequity of the Delegate Selection Plan and they punted.

Mother's Day Proclamationby Julia Ward Howe*, 1870The First Mother's Day proclaimed in 1870 by Julia Ward Howewas a passionate demand for disarmament and peace.Arise, then, women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts, whether your baptism be that of water or tears!Say firmly: "We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with

Dear Hillary,Like you, I have one daughter who is the light of my life. My wish for you this Mother's Day is a day of love and joy. I'd wish you rest, but I don't think that will be possible.Thank you for standing up for us. I want you to know how much your inner strength, grace and heart has sustained me during this campaign, and I hope the support and love we all have for you has helped you as

What BDBlue said.McCain cannot stack the Supreme Court or any Court with wing-nut judges by himself. His nominees have to be confirmed by the Senate. A Senate that will almost certainly be controlled by Democrats, probably with an increased majority. Why should I have to worry about Roe v. Wade or any other core constitutional right? While the Democrats would inevitably have to compromise on some

First you must go read this unbelieveable post by Chris Bowers. Go ahead. I'll wait. Well, just as we suspected. The truth comes out. Looks like we working class folks are no longer needed in the new hopey, changey Democratic Party. Madamab has something to say about this.

Huh...I like to check in on this every once in while. A while back I riffed off eriposte regarding the conventional wisdom that Hillary Clinton is in the pocket of corporations.Not according to Progressive Punch who gives Hillary a 100% progressive rating when it comes to Corporate Subsidies. Get that? A 100% progressive record. Now, check out where Obama is on the list* and then come back and

The Red Queen noted in the comments in my post below that she was inspired by Anglachel's post to post her own take on the class divide within the Democratic Party that has become so evident this election year. You really need to read the whole thing, but I've pulled out a snippet for you. The Red Queen says:So I grew up with the intellectual values of my father's family coupled with a sure

Joe Andrew switches allegiance from Hillary to Barack and urges ALL super delegates to do the same thing just so's we can get this all over, he sez.

Yep, I've gone back and forth with friends of mine over this. Let's try one more time.Contrary to conventional wisdom (def: a lie repeated so many times that people believe it's the truth) Hillary was not a supporter of NAFTA during the early years of Bill's administration. That has been documented by Carl Bernstein in his less than flattering (but not a hit piece) biography of Hillary Clinton

In essence it is a ruling that strikes at the very heart of county autonomy and representative government.
