|
What does the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Howard Dean think of citizen participation and how the netroots community is influencing political interaction? Find out by watching footage of the YearlyKos Convention 2006 Keynote Speech by Howard Dean available on the Link TV and ForaTV websites.
“When I was running for Chairman last year, I said that we would take our country back, state-by-state, precinct-by-precinct, block-by-block. I also said that we would build up our party’s strength, from the grassroots up, through the Internet and person-to-person outreach. The netroots have been an important part of this process.” - Governor Howard Dean

Operation Backing the Troops
If you are interested in Supporting our Troops, we are having a counter protest against the "delco wage peace justice" loonies. They are a hard left group with ties to socialists and communists. They want peace, but peace comes at a cost. Freedom isn't free. They will be wearing numbers representing each "innocent" iraqi that was "murdered" by the United States military. That isn't supporting our troops now is it? I want to get a group together to show these scumbags that America doesn't support them.
Why: Because our Troops need support against these bastards putting them down.
When:May 15th from 1pm-5pm
Where: Independance Hall, Philadelphia.
P.S. These Counter Protests never get violent.
If you are interested, contact me ASAP.

Hey Pete Manfra here again. Thought i would share a couple more things with my fellow conservatives and anyone else who's just curious. First you need to check out this video of probably the DUMBEST human alive.
Caution: 1. If a person who has pubic like hair on face grosses you out don't view the video. 2. If you have anger or heart problems and get pissed off really easily you also should not watch this video. 3. If you're a communist, i hope your not like this one.

12:30 pm - Washington state revote?
|
|
pseudoascetic
|
republican dino rossi is calling for a revote after losing the second recount in the Washington gubernatorial race by 100+ votes, saying, "The uncertainty surrounding this election process isn't just bad for you and me, it's bad for the entire state. People need to know for sure that the next governor actually won the election."
It would be great if all republicans has this attitude, not just about the state of Washington, but the entire nation. I think it's just as important to know that the next president actually won the election. I think Gregoire should respond by consenting to a revote for governor in Washington on the condition that there is also a revote for president, especially since the presidential race was not only close, but there were many "irregularities".

4:35 pm - African American Voter Suppression in Ohio

http://www.primisware.com/ohio/video2.mpg OR http://460design.net/ohio/video2.wmv
25-minute video was made available to the press and public today that exposes the widespread civil rights abuses and voter disenfranchisement suffered by the African American community in Ohio on Election Day. The footage was released by "We Do Not Concede" (www.donotconcede.com), a nonprofit grassroots organization created to unite and mobilize citizens whose voting right were suppressed, denied, or simply not counted.
"We hope this footage will serve as a wake up call to all Americans that the fundamental principles our country was founded upon like ‘democracy’ and ‘equal rights’ are being systematically dismantled by a small group of Republicans who are concerned with keeping power, not preserving liberty," said Zack Kaldveer, Communications Director, We Do Not Concede. "In America every vote must be accurately counted and equally valued, and that’s not what happened on November 2nd. We the people most definitely do not concede."
The video provides a first hand glimpse of an emerging civil rights scandal of historic proportions that will culminate in a "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" bus trip organized by We Do Not Concede, consisting of voters who are contesting the Ohio electorate, led by Rev. Bill Moss of Columbus Ohio. The buses will travel from Columbus to Washington DC on January 4th through the 6th. Rev. Jesse Jackson has pronounced Ohio's vote fraud fiasco "the biggest deal since Selma" and has called for a national rally at "the scene of the crime" in Columbus January 3rd.
"For the second Presidential election in a row African-American voters have been subjugated to the role of second class citizens through efforts by Republicans to suppress, intimidate, and disenfranchise our vote," said Rev. Bill Moss, original Contestant of Ohio Electors and founder of the Center for Freedom and Justice. "Whether its Katherine Harris or Kenneth Blackwell, the purpose is the same: do everything in their power to ensure George W. Bush becomes President. If they are willing and able to thwart democracy and abuse the civil rights of American voters right in the face of the press and public, what else are they capable of? I am contesting this election because tyranny, particularly in the guise of democracy, is our civic duty to fight."

10:22 am - VALUES – RIGHT-WING ELITISTS
|
java_drinker
|
In Tuesday's Washington Post, Terry Neal examines America's true media elite – "corporate leaders at companies as diverse as News Corp., Marriott International and Time Warner [who] profit by selling red state consumers the very material that red state culture is supposed to despise," then funnel the proceeds to conservative causes. "The people who run the Republican Party are elites just like any other elite, and they don't share the same cultural concerns as the center of the country," admits conservative CNN host Tucker Carlson. "[T]hey don't have anything in common…with evangelicals who make up the bulk of their party." In the most recent issue of Cigar Aficionado, for example, Rush Limbaugh takes a pause from smearing "liberal elitists" to describe his love for the fruits of Cuba, gushing over his trip to a high-end tobacco salon in London where he smoked Cuban cigars and waxed about their similarity to Bordeaux grapes.

8:27 am - The good old red and blue color clash by Dave Barry

I thought that, in today's column, I would heal the nation. The nation suffered a wound during the recent presidential election as a result of the rift between the red states -- defined as "states where 'foreign cuisine' pretty much means Pizza Hut" -- and the blue states, defined as "states that believe they are smarter than the red states, despite the fact that it takes the average blue-state resident 15 minutes to order a single cup of coffee."
Some blue-state residents are so upset about the election that they're talking about moving to Canada, which is technically a foreign nation. In my view, this would be a mistake: Canada is not the paradise it is often made out to be.
Fact: Every year, 43 percent of all Canadians -- a total of eight Canadians -- are eaten by polar bears.
Besides, running away is never the answer, unless you are a teenage boy who has just blown up a mailbox. As Americans, we need to stay here in America and work things out, because regardless of what color or hue of state we live in, we are all, deep down inside our undershorts, Americans.
And as Americans, we must ask ourselves: Are we really so different?...

"Why do we soldiers have to dig through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to uparmor our vehicles?" Wilson asked. A big cheer arose from the approximately 2,300 soldiers in the cavernous hangar who assembled to see and hear the secretary of defense.
Rumsfeld hesitated and asked Wilson to repeat his question.
"We do not have proper armored vehicles to carry with us north," Wilson said after asking again.
Rumsfeld replied that, "You go to war with the Army you have," not the one you might want, and that any rate the Army was pushing manufacturers of vehicle armor to produce it as fast as humanly possible.
And, the defense chief added, armor is not always a savior in the kind of combat U.S. troops face in Iraq, where the insurgents' weapon of choice is the roadside bomb, or improvised explosive device.
sounds more and more like McNamara, yet the neocons still love him.
what petty hypocrisy.

10:33 am - Listen Now

For those of you who do not get cable (me) listen to the supreme court hearing on voter irregularity in Ohio at http://www.pacifica.org/. If you do get cable, it is on CSPAN. I don't think it matters what party you belong to, this is a big deal. As a democrat, you have to feel violated for the second consecutive time. For republicans, you have to question your parties tactics. Is this the way you want people to view you? We already know how the decision is going to go, but it is important to hear this directly because the media insist on referring to these problems as "minor glitches" when in fact there was one county in Ohio in which 3500 votes were cast for Bush when only 600 people were registered, when the media was denied access to witness the counting in Warren County. Once our country accepts tactics like this, our last piece of democratic participation will be stolen from us as well.

Hey I'm writing a research essay concerning the bush agenda, and I was hoping that some young voters could give me their reasons for voting for Bush. Responses much appreciated, I'm just trying to get some insights on the other side.
