Democrats

There were plenty of political figures around the town centre on Saturday and I'm keen to give them all a mention alongside the big three who will dominate the forthcoming by-election. With a prominent position by Boots, the English Democrats' display was more car boot than major campaign but they seemed to be striking a chord with shoppers. The English flag is eye-catching and, as Dave and I agre

From here. The statement below is beyond bizarre. Maybe I fell into some Slider alternate reality.

She called the current energy situation "a crisis that doesn't just affect us at the pump, but also raises the prices of groceries, increases o

 Democrats have long held the public stance that they will end the war if only we send a larger majority of Democrats to the house and senate, as well as a Democrat to the White House of course. Privately I believe they hold a totally different stance. It would be very easy for Democrats to [...]

WASHINGTON (AP) - Apart from George McGovern, a plainspoken man who knows something about losing elections, not a single Democrat of national stature publicly urged Hillary Rodham Clinton on Wednesday to end her campaign for the White House. There was no shortage of other ways to signal, suggest, insinuate or instigate the same thing. And [...]

By Cokie Roberts and Steven V. Roberts - Link Opinion Democrats seem intent on nominating Barack Obama, in the face of mounting evidence that Hillary Clinton would be the stronger candidate against John McCain in November. And they only have themselves to blame.Yes, the Clinton camp made strategic blunders that allowed Obama to score heavily in Republican [...]

When tough guy interviewer Bill O’Reilly had his much anticipated interview with Hillary last week, Hillary stated flatly, “We can not win militarily in Iraq.” This answer, like so many others, went unchallenged.

When tough guy interviewer Bill O'Reilly had his much anticipated interview with Hillary last week, Hillary stated flatly, "We can not win militarily in Iraq." This answer, like so many others, went unchallenged. Despite the fact that we are in the process of a military win in Iraq. Can you spell surge?The media and the Democrats are largely silent on Iraq these days. Unless its to celebrate the anniversary of the Bush photo op declaring "Mission Accomplished". Or to throw roadblocks in the way of the, now successful, surge. Or to keep the body count in the public eye. Or to demand we withdraw our troops from Iraq. Or to appear fiscally conservative by trying to hold up funding for our soldiers. I guess that money could be better spent funding Hillary's $2.3B in earmarks. Or by funding Ala

 Democrats love to tax, tax, tax. There is no secret to that, we all know it is true. A couple of weeks ago Republican turncoat John McCain proposed suspending the 18.4 cent a gallon tax for the summer, a proposal Hillary Clinton quickly glommed onto. If Hillary wasn’t running for president she would never agree [...]

I just realized that Indiana is among the minority of states that do their primaries this way.

By ALICIA MUNDYMay 2, 2008; Page A4WASHINGTON -- A top Food and Drug Administration official rebuffed calls by congressional Democrats to support their proposals for tougher regulations on imported drugs and new fees on drug makers, in the latest round of conflict between lawmakers and the administration over drug safety.Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, backed away from comments this week in which she seemed to acknowledge that the FDA needed an additional $225 million to beef up foreign inspections. Democrats on Thursday thanked her repeatedly for that earlier statement, which they have seized on as ammunition in support of their legislation.

"Intractable Quagmire" is a term Democrats employed several times over the last 5 years. Now, they are in one. It is difficult to imagine a scenario more delicious, from a Republican's vantage point. There is simply nothing they can do to win this year's Presidential election. They find themselves trapped......Victims of their own wicked game of identity politics, they can now only choose which candidate they want to lose in November. It really is that simple.Which ever candidate is chosen will be crippled by the bitter vanquished on the other side of the deepening democratic divide. Political correctness is starting to give way to cold reality and what was dare not whispered a few months ago, is now being spoken openly.Democrats and the media are openly worrying about the so-called "Bradl

According to a study reported in the Washington Post in 2005, half of the African-Americans surveyed believed that the AIDS virus is human-made, 25% believed it was done in a government lab, and 12% believed it was “created and spread by the CIA.” We can be appalled and amused by such people all we want, [...]

Last year the Democratic Leadership in Congress determined that they did not want to give the Pentagon their full $196.4 billion request for Iraq and Afghanistan operations, so they appropriated $88.3 billion instead, expecting that as the public grew more tired with Iraq, and in an election year, a Spring debate would put the Republicans on the defensive and possibly mean more scrutiny of Pentagon activities and spending. It is now Spring and it is clear that this strategy has failed. This is the Democrats' plan for the Iraq-Afghanistan supplemental they will be putting together this month: First, give the Pentagon all of the remaining funds that they had requested for this fiscal year ($108.1 billion).  Second, give them another $70 billion for the next fiscal year and call it a "Bridge

No investing here but just an observation and a question. Why are Democrats so obsessed with race? Condolezza Rice and Colin Powell have both been called "Uncle Tom's" by Democrats. When Micheal Steele ran for Governor of Maryland, the Maryland Democratic party called him an "Uncle Tom". Bill Clinton is claiming Barack Oboma is playing the "race card". Of course this is after Barack's speech (lecture to America) on race and 8 years after Democrats labeled Clinton himself the "First Black... Continued at Todd Sullivan's ValuePlays

"WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled that states can require voters to produce photo identification without violating their constitutional rights.The court voted 6-3 to uphold Indiana's strict photo ID requirement. Democrats and civil rights groups said the law would deter poor, older and minority voters from casting ballots....Indiana's law requires voters to show a government-issued ID, with some exceptions for absentee ballots, the indigent and those with a religious objection to being photographed." (TheIndyChannel.com)Looks like dead people, atheists (who can't claim a religious excuse), and homeless people are thwarted again by the majority.Damn majority.Update: It's no surprise to us that Obama thinks the dead deserve the vote -- as well as any illegal aliens, doubl

In the hypothetical match up between "generic democrat" and "generic republican", the democrats have marginal leads on 3 of the top 5 issues, and are competitive in the other issues. This according to data from Rasmussen Reports.However, once you fill in the names, on the Presidential ballot, you get a radically different story. The difference is quite dramatic.Generic Dem is +8 vs Generic Republican on the issue of the economy (the #1 rated issue). However, Hillary Clinton under performs McCain by 5 percentage points. That is a 14 point swing. Makes sense, though. If you are going to compare the Bush economic record to the Clinton (Bill) economic record, Dubya wins that hands down. Hillary suffers by association with her husband's disastrous economic policies.In fact, her evilness under

By BOB HERBERT Barack Obama is winning, so why does it look like Hillary Clinton is having all the fun?

This ad has sparked a fury of discussion amongst political circles. It’s being run by the North Carolina Republican Party.

The Liberal Democrats have always been under fire in Southport . This is not to mention their serial bed hopper Mr John Hemming MP They seem to be in the news again of late. AN MP has called for a government inquiry into the "possible misuse" of medical records by the Liberal Democrats in Sheffield. Attercliffe MP Clive Betts told Parliament that constituents who had recently attended hospital appointments have received a Lib Dem survey asking for their views about the NHS.It seems that the Liberal Democrats always tend to misuse their privilege. Some MPs tend to abuse it in parliament and others out of parliament. In John Hemming's case he is privileged to have a constituency that accepts his flawed behaviour. There is association with ex felon Penny Mellor. That should be technically ove

Democrats in Iowa first started caucusing on January 3rd and after nearly 5 months of elections the race is still not over. How many times have we heard pundits argue that the race would be over after super Tuesday, mini-super Tuesday, or Pennsylvania? Barack Obama spoke in Springfield, Illinois on February 10, 2007 to officially announce his candidacy for president. Hillary Clinton gave her living room “I’m in” speech on January 22, 2007. Nearly a year and a half after this race began, Democrats are becoming agitated and worried. Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, appeared on CNN with Wolf Blitzer and told the remaining undecided superdelegates to make up their mind “starting now”. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority L

I knew there was something fishy about this ad. I checked newsbusters, and what do you know? It's a big, fat lie! Newsbusters does a good job of debunking it here. It's maddening and, if you're a blogger (or people at work like you), help spread the word. Democrats (and the Catholic League's Donahue) also misunderstood pastor John Hagee. Go here for a Prager-Hagee interview in which he attempts to clear things up. We can add these to the "100 year in Iraq" and "We've made progress in the economy" distortions. Is this a pattern?

During the last two presidential elections Democrats marveled at the number of voters who cast ballots for George W. Bush, a move that was obviously contrary to their own economic self-interest. Time and again, Democratic operatives have marveled at the stupidity of such actions. As we approach the 2008 election, the number of Democrats who [...]

~Snooper~Like I have been saying for YEARS and YEARS...there is NO difference between a modern American Socialist Democrat and a Jihadi Scum Terrorist. Well, perhaps one difference - the Socialist Democrats are calling for the physical removal of one's head if one disagrees with them - yet.Case in point: a terrorist group has claimed that 40K+ American Troops have been KIA in theater.

I have been calling modern democrats democRATs or lib-RATs here on this blog. Although it rhymes and sounds good it just does not reflect the true nature of these lib-RATs and quite frankly, it may be unfair to the Rats. I probably will keep referring to the modern day democrats as libRats because it is easier and I just don't care about being fair to the Rats.

We have heard it a thousand times -- winning America is bloodsport. But have we, the electorate accepted that fact, no. Absolutely not! Well now, as Senators Clinton and Obama spar for the nomination, the meltdown in the party is evident as Democrats fight and divide.Over these last two weeks, an excellent demonstration in Clinton vs Richardson. The 'family feud' has moved on from he said/she said to the issue of loyalty. Who questions whom on this? The Clintons. Bill and Hillary are upset, disappointed, feel betrayed because...... Governor, Bill Richardson, a Super Delegate boldly announced his endorsement of Barak Obama after he apparently promised former president, Bill Clinton he would not do any such thing.Well, the governor, decided to follow his instincts on 'electability' and gave

Story here. For now, though, Sen. Clinton of New York is leading the way, bringing in at least $6.29 million from the securities and investment industry, compared with $6.03 million for Sen. Obama of Illinois and $2.59 million for McCain, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Those figures include donations from the investment companies' employees and political action committees. And, here. The Republican standard-bearer's attempt to claw back financial support from the GOP's business base could be a pivotal factor in determining the outcome of the presidential race. Employees of financial-services, insurance and real-estate companies so far have donated to Sen. Obama over Sen. McCain by almost two-to-one -- and favored Sen. Clinton by even more.

I read this from the San Antonio Express-News with a little astonishment: Barack Obama would have the coattails to carry down-ballot Texas Democrats to victory in November and could be crucial to Democratic efforts to take Harris County away from Republicans, the Illinois senator’s state congressional supporters said Tuesday. Except for, perhaps, Harris County, I don’t see how Obama is more beneficial to Texas Democrats than Hillary Clinton. In fact, I’d argue Clinton would have longer coattails next November than Obama. You’ll note that the paragraph quoted above is pretty specific to Harris County. My first question is, “how can someone who didn’t win the state’s popular vote among Democrats manage to have longer coattails in November?” It

Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have declared that Democrats will unite behind whichever of them secures the nomination. Both candidates have spoken about the issue after concerns have been raised in recent weeks about the divisive nature of their campaigns.Asked in North Carolina what she would say to Democrats who were thinking of voting for McCain, Clinton said that "It is not a wise decision for yourself or your country.I intend to do everything I can to make sure we have a unified Democratic party. When this contest is over and we have a nominee, we're going to close ranks, we're going to be united."Obama also made a similar point. "I don't think we are hurt, long term.

Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) recently sent out an email which highlights one area where the difference between Republicans and Democrats still remains stark: raising taxes.Congressman Cantor:Before adjourning for recess, House Democrats passed the largest tax-hike in American history; a rate hike that will soak an average of $3,120 from every family. In an economy reeling from a slowing housing and job market, this is a burden that American families and small business owners simply cannot afford.Let's be clear – this Democrat tax hike raises the tax burden of every American, particularly the middle-class.

Some Democrats simply don't understand what it means to be an opposition party. Democratic congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, of Florida's 20th district, definitely doesn't get it. As co-chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's "Red-to-Blue Program," a program designed to "highlight top Democratic campaigns [who are challenging for Republican seats] across the country, and offer them financial, communications, and strategic support," Wasserman Schultz is supposed to be a partisan attack dog. That's her job, to seek out Democrats challenging for Republican seats and turn those seats from red to blue. Unfortunately, Debbie doesn't get it. You see, when three strong challengers from her home state, Annette Taddeo, Joe Garcia and Raul Martinez, decided to take on three i

Democrats are pushing for tighter regulation on hedge funds and fund managers much similar to the types of regulations that commercial banks have had for several years. The new regulations could bring new requirements such as requiring higher cash reserves in order to deal with unexpected losses. They are pushing towards giving the Federal Reserve more power over the financial markets allowing them to regulate financial institutions when necessary. The moves come just after Bear Stearns collapsed due to massive losses related to the housing and credit crises.

Here’s another reason to vote for Obama. This is actually presented as a conservative argument to vote for Clinton, as advised by Rush Limbaugh, in order to try to stop Obama.

Real Clear Politics is beginning to show what could be a trend in this presidential campaign. As Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton continue to battle it out for the nomination John McCain grows stronger. National head-to-head polls now show John McCain leading both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Previously, both Senator Obama and Clinton were leading McCain in most head-to-head polls. Real Clear Politics averages for polls conducted between March 13 and March 19, show McCain beating Clinton by 1.3 percent. The same polling average also showed Obama trailed McCain by 1.4 percent. McCain is now the official Republican nominee and is not facing the same daily campaign battles that Clinton and Obama are. McCain recently took the time to visit Iraq which just this week reache

Last week, Geraldine Ferraro chose to resign from the Clinton campaign after she made these remarks in an interview with the Daily Breeze:"I think what America feels about a woman becoming president takes a very secondary place to Obama's campaign - to a kind of campaign that it would be hard for anyone to run against," she said. "For one thing, you have the press, which has been uniquely hard on her. It's been a very sexist media. Some just don't like her. The others have gotten caught up in the Obama campaign."If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," she continued. "And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."The outrage from the Obama campaign and his

This really isn't much of a question for the Republicans or for the Democrats. I suspect that both sides would look at this as sort of a wash. John McCain might lose a few Republicans over the war while Barack Obama might lose a few Democrats. Like everything else in modern national politics, this one is about the middle. Considering that usually you have a decent percentage of each subgroup undecided, it is pretty clear that for the first time in a long time you have at least a plurality of independents who support "staying the course". In response to this (and other polls showing similar results), the Obama camp has stated quite bluntly that they will not move away from their position of making a priority of ending our involvement in Iraq. While just a few months ago, the left was beati

People have accused the Clinton campaign of using racist tactics, recently comments made by Geraldine Ferro have made the headlines. "If Obama was a White man," Ferraro said, "he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman of any color, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept." Is this really a racist comment,maybe but comment is mild in comparison to what Barack Obama has listen to for the past 20 years..Watch as Barack Obama's mentor, Jeremiah Wright of Trinity UCC (United Church of Christ) preaching on the notion of a black Jesus being oppressed by white people and his tirade against Hillary Clinton stating that, "Hillary ain't never been called a...."Barack Obama has been a member of the Trinity

Democrat concern about the Presidential election should now be morphing into outright panic. Just a day after moving the Blue State of Michigan from "likely democrat" to "leans democrat", Rasmussen Reports has moved it into the "toss-up" category. The revision was due to a huge drop in the expectation of Michigan staying blue among participants in the Rasmussen Markets. RR polling continues to show McCain with narrow leads over both Obama and Clinton. Michigan joins another huge battleground state- Ohio as "toss-ups". They may well be joined soon by a third biggie- Pennsylvania.Democrats most likely will need a sweep of the three to take the White House. They are defending in PA (21 Electoral Votes) and Mich.

The Illinois senator punched back with his second win in a row since the former first lady pulled her campaign back from the brink of extinction, with huge victories in Texas and Ohio last week. As Mississippi voted, the tone of the race took another nasty lurch, as the Obama camp demanded the dismissal of Clinton's supporter Geraldine Ferraro, for saying: "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position." With its 33 nominating delegates up for grabs, conservative Mississippi, reliably Republican in general elections, was

The Democrats are indeed underestimating good old John McCain. While they mention him every so often, they cannot completely focus on him with the battle that is currently taking place within the party. John McCain currently has the opportunity to plan a campaign against both Obama and Clinton. While the two favorites are slugging it out, McCain can use the Democratic race to his own advantage. The general consensus is that whichever Democrat earns the nomination, will become President. However, not everyone is ready for "change" to the ultimate extremity. Last time I checked, this is indeed the greatest deal of "change" our country has seen since its inception. When John F. Kennedy became President, Americans looked to his Catholic beliefs as radical change. Well, lets just say that the a

This really is pretty sickening to think that people stooped this low. This is the bunch pushing morality? A staggering 16,000-plus Republicans in Cuyahoga County switched parties when they voted in last week's primary. That includes 931 in Rocky River, 1,027 in Westlake and 1,142 in Strongsville. More than a third of the Republicans in Solon and Bay Village switched. Pepper Pike had the most

Do leaders of the Democrat National Committee (DNC) actually expect the American people to believe that their party has the wherewithal to manage the most powerful nation of earth, when that same party is apparently unable to manage a simple system of pre-election primaries?

Dear Abby: My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the beginning, and, when I confront him, he denies everything. What's worse, everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating. Also, since he lost his job six years ago, he hasn't even looked for a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and shoot the breeze with his buddies while I have to work to pay the bills. Since our daughter went away to college he doesn't even pretend to like me and hints that I may be a lesbian. What should I do? Signed: CluelessDear Clueless: Grow up and dump him. Good grief, woman. You don't need him anymore! You're a United States Senator from New York running for President of

As I have pointed out in the past, many times the mainstream media misses the boat. They post a news article and miss the crux of the issue. This problem is very apparent in an article in todays Washington Post entitled “Influential Democrats Waiting to Choose Sides“. To the Post, the story is that the [...]

I feel for my Democrat Brothers and sisters. I wrote my rant tonight after watching a Tv interview with 2 democrat party officials. I am sending it anywhere I can.: This is nothing more than the Democrat ...

Barack Obama's key fund raiser, Tony Rezko, went on trial last week. It's important to take a broader look at America's most corrupt large city: Chicago. (We apologize from the outset,some links no longer exist or passages we quote never existed on the web.) Chicago has had a Democratic Mayor since 1931,and today in 2008,49 of 50 Chicago Aldermen are Democrats.This long post is about the Chicago

Hillary Clinton's victories in Ohio and Texas last Tuesday may have done little to reduce Barack Obama's lead in the pledged delegate count (she enjoyed a net gain of just 10 delegates on the night according to the latest figures from Realclearpolitics) but the margin of her victory in the popular vote, which she won by 330,000 votes across the two states , raises an intriguing possibility : that come the end of the primary season in June, Democrats could face a situation where Barack Obama has more pledged delegates yet Hillary Clinton has an overall lead in the popular vote.According to the rules, the Democratic nomination is awarded to the candidate who amasses most delegates - that is, a sum of both pledged delegates (awarded according to the results of primaries and caucuses) and supe

Read about it here. There is quite a bit that could be said about this. Many other Bloggers have already written much of it. The writing is simply on the wall. I do not place the blame squarely on Bush himself. Because I am keenly aware of how things operate in Washington D.C., I know that the blame does not all go to him. I blame the advisers who went to him, the ones who were the dye-in-the-wool Neo-Conservatives, who went to him and said, "We can change the shape of the middle east, by invading Iraq." He, of course, bought into that foolish mindset and the scramble for intelligence began and when they found a piece of questionable intelligence, they proceeded to cherry pick it, to suit their needs. What followed was the quagmire that we are involved with now. This will e

National media have been very clear. The Democratic candidates need Texas to secure their party’s nomination. Both parties have gone to the media proclaiming their massive efforts to reach young voters. The Democratic Party needed something big to grab attention (and voters) for the Texas primaries and both the Clinton and Obama campaigns had big [...]

US President George Bush used a Thursday White House press conference to issue a belligerent demand that Congress pass a bill effectively gutting Constitutional protections against government spying while granting immunity to telecommunications companies that helped the administration break the law.The bullying tone of the president, who repeatedly banged the podium while warning of supposed imminent dangers posed by the Congressional delay in renewing the administration’s unfettered power to conduct domestic wiretapping, stood in sharp contradiction with the overwhelming popular hostility towards Bush, whose standing in the polls has fallen to record lows. Despite his deepening political isolation, the Republican president is justifiably confident that the Democratic majority in Congres

From time to time, its repeated, "Winning America is blood sport, but the idealist I am , I usually shrug that off, believing there's always a better way. Now on that premise ..... taking the high road, I am obviously dead wrong.Because as I look at the fight and animus demonstrated between the Democratic contenders, Senators Clinton and Obama, I see lines drawn in the sand and 'generals' preparing to battle for votes. How did this intra- party war emerge and eventually who will win? Given Senator Obama has been riding high with successes in 26 states, with 1,042 delegates and Senator Clinton trailing behind with successes in 11 states and 1, 042 delegates, it is clear that the winner is being challenged. And unfortunately one team is pulling out all the stops to get to the finishing line.

Oh no, that evil consumer advocate Ralph Nader just entered the Presidential race! You know who he is....the only politician in America that's running because of his or her ego because we all know Obama, McCain, and even Hillary Clinton don't have an ego...Time for a snap back into reality Democrats.First let's debunk the myth that Democrats have been perpetuating since 2000 that Nader "spoiled" the 2000 election for Al Gore and "handed" it to George W. Bush. It's simple and it goes like this...Every American citizen has the right to run for President, and no candidate is ever entitled to your vote. So the question remains... Why did 97,000 voters in Florida decide to vote for Nader? We don't know, but I can probably bank on the fact that they agreed with Nader more than Gore or Bush. S

Democrats debated for the final time this week in Ohio with just one week before pivotal primaries are set for Texas and Ohio. Polls show Obama pulling ahead in Texas while Clinton still has a 10 point margin in Ohio.

Senator Hillary Clinton won the Israel vote in the Democrats Abroad Global Primary, but was defeated in the international race by Senator Barack Obama, who captured the majority of the votes cast by American expatriates who voted in the Democratic Global Primary held earlier this month. Israel, which is home to an estimated 200,000 U.S. Citizens, [...]

Written by Deb Riechmann President Bush said Saturday that Democratic leaders in the House are blocking key intelligence legislation so trial lawyers can sue phone companies that helped the government eavesdrop on suspected terrorists after the Sept. 11 attacks. Terrorists are plotting new attacks against America “at this very moment,” Bush said in renewing his call for [...]

I was watching Hannity and Colmes last night on FNC and the had Frank Luntz, a pollster on. Frank Luntz was with a group of Democrats discussing who they were favoring and Sean Hannity had a brilliant idea. That idea was to ask the Democrats what accomplishments either Hillary or Obama had accomplished. The Democratic group could not think of one, neither could Alan Colmes. It just shows that the Democratic party is all about talk but nothing more. They are voting on personality. If you ask Republicans what accomplishments McCain, Romney or Huckabee have, we could name at least one for each and more. Attacking spending for McCain, tremendous business man in Romney (i.e. Salt Lake City Olympics) and Huckabee helped Arkansas have one of the best school accountability in the country.

Slick Willie: Interviewing another intern?Imagine the suffering those poor Democrats are going through. After 8 years of sheer bliss having the most criticized and lampooned American president in history as a target, the Party that a Blue Dress Built was high on expectations for the upcoming election. They had the world at their feet, gleefully enjoying being on the public’s side on issues like the Iraq War and the economy, and managed to gain control of the government. They had even managed to put some mileage between themselves and the poisonous public image of Slick Willie.Then it all fell apart. Check out the news lately and you will see an old face from the past haunting the Democratic race. Bill Clinton has returned to the limelight just in time to throw a wrench into his wife’s
