Blogging for the 99% and the preservation of our Democracy against the Corporatists and the Citizens United ruling.
I have been silent on health care for last six weeks. No one wants a blow-by-blow description of a car wreck taking place in slow motion.
I predicted in September that the White House did not originally want a public option and that all the talk about it was political theater, designed to distract and offer hope to loyal progressives, even though the Obama administration knew they were going to let... 
In this discussion with Fox News anchor, Gregg Jarrett (where do they get these names? Is he any kin to Major Garrett?), Democratic New Jersey Rep. Rob Andrew tries to get a word in edgewise and fails.
In the video, you can spot the Republican spokesperson, because she has the ever-present grin that GOP pundits are trained to exhibit no matter how vile the words are that they are speaking. Rep. Rob... 
Just as I predicted almost two months ago, there will be no Public Option. The discussion of the Public Option has just been red meat for the base, thrown out to placate the “lefties” while the real negotiations take place. While supporting the public option in speeches, Obama and Rahm Emanuel have been working behind the scenes to destroy the very necessary, and very popular, Public...

Lindsey Graham was always there to assist McCain in walking down the stairs, or to whisper a correction to John McCain when he was having a “senior moment”. This, as you... 
As long as our soldiers are coming home in coffins draped with the 50-star American flag, it is disrespectful to these men and women and the nation that they died to protect to desecrate the flag, or fly an alternate U.S. flag in its place.
What’s the matter, Chuck? Do you hate America and the flag that much, that you’d rather fly a flag spoiled with a tea stain than to respect our flag like... 
Do you remember the rule that you do not criticize the U.S. or its President on foreign soil? Well, take a look at the blog at DailyKos about what Sarah Palin said to Chinese Communists in a speeach in Hong Kong:
Sarah Palin went to Chinese Hong Kong, an area run by the Chinese Communist Party, and an area with an adaptation of Britain’s dreaded “socialist medicine” to attack the...
