EXCERPT: In short, what this post from HUFFPO is stating is simple: INCOMING!
News broke Thursday that the RNC was preparing to air its first contrast ad of the general election in four battleground states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. The $3 million buy was a first jab at the Democratic Party, a signal of the buying power of the wealthy RNC. Sunday, we got our first glimpse of the ad. As expected, it focuses on energy issues:
The ad advances two related themes that will be at...

EXCERPT: "2 to 1" is a light overstatement.  It is Democrats 9 to Republicans 5, but only pundits like R. Hudson Limbaugh III (and AA) will point that out.
The larger question this headline answers is: "What did ALL presidents accomplish in the last 50 years?"
The answer (and the Brookings Institute article, from 1999 is too dated to include the Bush melt-down of the last eight years) is leveling.
Maybe Democrats outstripped Republicans because the more liberal society...

EXCERPT: These oil-whore cowards: DENVER — Faced with a surge in the number of proposed solar power plants, the federal government has placed a moratorium on new solar projects on public land until it studies their environmental impact, which is expected to take about two years. The Bureau of Land Management says an extensive environmental study is needed to determine how large solar plants might affect millions of acres it oversees in six Western states — Arizona, California,...

EXCERPT: Is impeachment finally "on the table"! From afterdowningstreet.org where you can also read all 35 Articles of Impeachment:
WEDNESDAY 3:16 p.m.: Congress has just voted overwhelmingly (251-166) to send the articles of impeachment (H Res 1258) to the House Judiciary Committee to be acted upon there. Rep.

EXCERPT: I just came across this article in the British Telegraph:Rev Jeremiah Wright to retire in 'white suburb' and if this guy were a racist, would he be willing to live in a suburban million-dollar home in upscale Chicago wehre (dare I speak it) "white" folks predominate?
No disconnect here-- no, really! 
I don't think a million bucks buys the same kind of real estate people imagine anymore.  In California-- hell, here in Phoenix-- you need a quarter of...

EXCERPT: In the article Average American posts "Some facts to think about" he delivers a laundry list of reasons to distrust elected Democrats (with the implied suggestion that you can't trust any others you might be thinking of voting for) and at the end of the cut and paste writes "I don't know the name of the suthor but we have all seen these facts before."  It's true, I have seen those "facts" before but the claim he is using them to make,...

EXCERPT: Of all the comments to the show posting for Action Point 4-27-2008, this is the one I found most interesting:
"I want freedom from government intruding on my privacy, and you want the security of the government bending the Constitution to keep you safe from terrorists.  You reflexively call any move of government to safeguard the public welfare as an example of the Nanny State.  Then the next moment you defend the right of government to wiretap, to incarcerate, to...

EXCERPT: Here's just one of the reports: Rhodes goes far enough with anti-Hillary tirade to get herself suspended from AAR, reportedly, indefinitely.
What was she thinking?
And did she miscalculate the backlash she would have to endure taking on the Clinton camp?  Forget that, what about the 45% of the Democratic electorate that actually supports Hillary?  Did she think their calls to her bosses at AAR wouldn't start to add up, against her?
This is what I'd like to...

EXCERPT: Since ABC television's release of selected inflammatory language from Obama's long-time Pastor Reverend Wright, in the name of fair-play and democracy I have searched for the material in context.  Below is what I can so far find.  It contextualizes the "chickens coming home to roost" comment from a section 9 minutes long and apparently from a sermon September 17th 2001-- 6 days after 9/11.
The article from which I found this is on Huffpo includes the...

EXCERPT: A fan of playwright David Mamet’s plays and films (Glengarry Glen Ross, The Verdict and Wag the Dog) I am sad to read his claims in a piece this month in The Village Voice  in which he states “I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal'”.  
Five pages are what he takes to explain his epiphany, after 40 years of adult philosophical attachment to liberalism.
Let me summarize it for you (and yes, please do feel free to read it for yourself as well):...
