John Edwards

Cross posted at The Buffalo

Populism. John Edwards’ campaign is considered by many to have populist themes; lifting up the working class, fighting for the middle class, healthcare for everyone and eliminating poverty. These are concepts that we should embrace. We should help those who can’t help themselves. John Edwards tells every American that he will fight for them.

George Bush vs. The National Intelligence Estimate.

Mukasey is all wet

They’re in Iraq. What you probably didn’t know is that they were in New Orleans right after Katrina. They were there before any government agency arrived. They were protecting private interests. They’re called private contractors, but they’re really just mercenaries. Hired guns.

I thought I'd cross post this here considering only about 8 people will see this over at my blog: The Buffalo. I think at least twice that will read this entry and that's fine by me cause I dig the Kos scene. I designed a new Republican logo. I believe it defines the party as it is. Feel free to add to the list. I was going to do 100, but I got burned out and angry. It's a little ad hominem, but aren't we all. Hope you enjoy. Oh yeah and go see the documentary "No End In Sight." Great break down of went wrong in Iraq. I pull some facts from it in my list.

From "Is our children learning" to "childrens do learn." I had to whip up this parody newsreel film about Bush's flub the other night regarding the success of No Child Left Behind. Hope you enjoy it.

Bush has failed on so many levels. He has caused many people to lose their lives because of his poor leadership and lack of foresight. His inability to grasp reality is unmatched. Watch the video. Impeachment should be on the table.

I get disappointed everyday with this administration. I'm not too happy with congress either. Habeas Corpus is shot down again. Four votes short to move the bill forward. Unbelievable. I'm not that old and this country resembles nothing like the one I grew up in.

You look for the Clinton interview that reads, "Clinton Smacks Down Fox News" and you click on the link and that clip is removed because it states that Fox News wanted it pulled because copyright infringement. Now look up the title which is on the youtube video front page of "most views" that reads "Clinton blames others for 911" and the link works just fine. Type in "Clinton freaks" and you'll be able to watch a small clip.

Go ahead and try it out. "Clinton smackdown"-dead link, removed. "Clinton freaks" or "blames" it will be up. Fox News actually has people monitoring this trying to spin it against Clinton. Fux News I say!

The dead "Clinton smacks down fox" message:

"This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner Fox News Network, LLC because its content was used without permission."

Today is a tough day for everyone.

The Bush administration as usual will try to own this day to politicize it as proof that Bush is the "War on Terror President." As we know Bush is a nincompoop, although a shrewd nincompoop.

This needs press. TV, newspapers, radio--whatever I can get. I am the Communications Director of a non-profit environmental organization here in Tucson, AZ.

Here's the deal:

The Endangered Species Act is in danger of being dismantled. Once again, The House of Representatives and The Senate's involvement will be critical in stopping the overhauling of this historic law.  If the Endangered Species Act is dismantled, the environmental progress made in this country will be adversely affected. The Bald Eagle, Grizzly Bear and Mexican Gray Wolf among many others are all species protected by the Act. Endangered and threatened wildlife such as these would be put in peril. Extinction is forever.

I just got back about an hour ago from the Tucson Convention Center where John Edwards spoke today. There were 10,000 people there, standing room only! They had to turn people away!

Don't believe the frickin' ASU 600 likely Republican voter polls. There are a lot of pissed off Democrats here in Tucson and Pima County. We won the governorship that way. Stay close in Phoenix and Maricopa county and win it here in Southern Arizona and Pima County when we come out and vote. That's the way Kerry is going to win this state and the Presidency.

Edwards was great. He had the crowd cranked up and roaring. He hit all of his points and mapped out how much Bush's administration is living in fairy land.

His message was about lifting up people and helping people. Saving Social Security, No Child Left Behind and getting people Healthcare. Stop outsourcing jobs and giving tax breaks to those companies who do. His message is clear as he was speaking for Kerry. How could you be undecided at this point? How could you be in the middle of the road in this election? The most important election of your life.

Do yourself a favor and watch the debates. If you can see Kerry or Edwards speak live, then get your ass there and see them and listen to their message. After that, haul ass down to your local Kerry or Democrat Headquarters and volunteer. Do anything you can--phone bank, walk the precincts, sell buttons. Anything or any amount of time will help.

After that, congratulate yourself, because in reality you are helping everybody in the country as well as yourself when Kerry wins this election.

Don't listen to the fear and smear from Dick and Dubya. We will prevail.

Evil comic villain or real life evil bastard?

He's real and I can't stand him. But man does he strike an amazing resemblance to The Penguin.

I love Photoshop. I can expose Cheney for who he really is.

I thought I'd expand on what I wrote in a thread about Zell Miller's speech last night. If that speech wasn't an insult to our party and philosophy then I don't know what is. That ass wants to divide this country more than it is now. We're looking at a "Cold" Civil War in this country.

Miller's turncoat speech was nothing more than negative bullshit. That "Flip Flop" Chant was unbelievable. I didn't know Kerry was the cause of everything bad that has happened in the last four years.

These Republicans and this right winger posing as a Dem.(Miller) insult our values, beliefs and ability to defend the country. Sometimes we go overboard and call these assholes Nazis, but during his speech they sure were acting like them. They were jingoistic, crazed and warmongering.

It almost looked like they all wanted to get up out of the Garden, find Kerry, lynch him and then invade France. These fuckin' Republicans wrap themselves in the flag and use 9/11 every chance they can to scare people into voting for them. I can't take it.  Chris Matthews actually was critcial of Miller's speech and later got bitch slapped by Zell during an interview. Matthews backed down like a big pussy.

I feel like throwing my TV through the window every time the majority of the conservative panel pundits praise every bullshit spewing speech. The battle is being lost in the Media. The battle is being escalated by the Repubs. with this increased attack of smear on Kerry and everything we believe in as Democrats. The Republicans are the minority party in this country and they use money, power and fear to control everything and everybody they can. Only fools follow them believing that some of that money and power will rub off on them. I'm talking to you, you Nascar Dad dumbasses.

I hate Dick Cheney, that corrupt "Penguin-Batman villian"  looking bastard. And I hate Dubya. George W. Bush is nothing more than a Lee Harvey Oswald that was born into money and privilege. If he didn't have the money or family behind him, he'd still be snorting coke, knocking around the country looking for a reason to assassinate somebody. I shouldn't say that. Lee Harvey was smarter than Dubya. But one thing's for sure, they both have that crazy, drifter look.

Anyway, I've had enough. I wanted to vent. All I can say is that I want to call on secession from this Neocon America and bring back the America I remember and valued as a child. Join me-won't you!?
