IF ONLY the Dem's were effective enough to take advantage of the situation that is facing us all!
IF ONLY the Dem's actually worked as a united party and offered solutions for the problems at hand instead of wincing every time a Republican looked at them in a "mean" way.
IF ONLY the Dem's had the cajones to actually FIGHT against the lies the Republican's are preaching...
Hey, perhaps it is time for a strong, supportive Progressive third Party to be birthed??

The winner of the election will be the one who offers a positive vision with real solutions and gives people in both parties a reason to vote for them. That's how Reagan won 49 state landslides. It looks instead though that it will be a campaign of negative smear tactics. The DNC and MoveOn running ads distorting McCain's Iraq position, the RNC in NC running Wright ads. Expect more of the same. I don't understand why people insist on demonizing those with a different view on how to solve a problem. Now democrats are attacking each other. Soon democrats and republicans will be attacking each other. And in the end, nothing will get done. We've had an energy 'crisis' since 1973, and we're still just as dependent on foreign oil. Is it that hard to solve? Increase domestic production, drill in ANWR - it really won't destroy the world. Offer incentives for hybrids, fuel cells and electrics. There - supply increased - demand decreased. Next problem.

Poll: Hillary Takes Slim Lead In North Carolina By Eric Kleefeld - May 1, 2008, 8:32AM A new InsiderAdvantage poll of North Carolina is the first one yet to actually show Hillary Clinton ahead in the crucial primary, demonstrating just how badly the latest controversies have hurt Barack Obama. The numbers, compared to the firm's last poll from two weeks ago:
Clinton 44% (+8) Obama 42% (-9) The pollster's analysis has this caveat: "Our polling generally does not indicate the eventual compression of black voters that Obama usually enjoys just before Election Day. If that happens, my guess is that he will pull this out. However, this poll is clearly an indication of reaction to the latest statements by his former pastor; and it forces Sen. Obama to split resources between Indiana and North Carolina."

...And yet we still see "polls" indicating that mcfool is either just trailing or just ahead of Obama/Clinton in electibility.
Wait, wait...McStain's seeing 1,000 points of light...Hold on...Oh, it's just a visual Botox® reaction. Nevermind.

Why do you insist on showing no repect for McCain? If you disagree with his position on an issue, then talk about that and why your idea is better. What does it add to refer to him as McStain? Is that supposed to be clever? It's just childish and classless.

YEs, I lost my temper with those who wanted to claim this country is a source of evil in the world, without even thinking about how we defeated NAZIism, Imperial Japan, et al. (The only thing I called him was a pathetic America hating loser - and I stand by that!) Note those people were not offering any solutions to any problems, they were just attacking this country, and I have no patience for that type.

bulldog909 ----------------------------------------------------------- This is a blog of a Democratic bent, just like some others are right wing, this one is NOT. We of this bent (so to speak) are VERY angry at the Republicans for very good reasons, and when we speak about some of those who are responsible for the many horrid things of which we speak, well we sometimes like to PLAY with language.
You see, sometimes we like to change the C in McCain into a S or an ST at times. I know it is just terrible that we resort to this sort of chiding, but what can you expect from a group of people whom you refer to as merely a bunch of loathsome American hating idiots (or some such lovely compliment). .

I have never seen the one of you yet able to coherently list for what it is you are angry at the Republicans. The war? That was supported by people in both parties at the time. So what is it that pisses you off so much?

not offering any solutions
(yawn!!!) How old is that bit of classic roviana??? Mebbe some of Johnny's lobbyist/advisors could give some thought to new talking points for these panicked, ammo-less trolls..
Oh yes, here it is, yesterday you said this to a few of us strangers while we were politely discussing the wrongs going on in America. You interjected this lovely little barb of choice: you pathetic America hating loser.
So let us all be the judge, which is better? Substituting an ST for a C in McCain's name or calling people you disagree with "pathetic America Hating Losers"?
I know how my vote will be cast.

I know it is hard for you to accept the truth, but I refered to one specific person as a "pathetic America hating loser', because he was not, as you say discussing the wrongs going on in AMerica, but insisting that the entire history of the country was evil. Last time I checked you could still buy a plane ticket out of here, so if he hates it so much, if this place is so evil, then leave.

For anyone interested in the true state of the American economy, take the time to read "The Numbers Racket" by Kevin Phillips. It is over at the Harper's Magazine site. www.harpers.org
As for politics, the Kennedy administration was the last one that had some degree of concern for the American people and their interests. And we all know what happened to him. That was the warning shot fired across the bow of anyone who might consider bucking the military-industrial-Wall Street-Israel-US government complex.
The major difference between the Bush administration and the ones prior to him are that the Bushies have taken off the gloves and basically told everyone: “F— You, we don’t care what you think about what we are doing, you are insignificant”. The media, for the most part, support them and covers for them. Congress goes along to get along and keeps funding their wars and various secret projects.
They know that most Americans are either too ignorant, too confused or just plain afraid to resist them so it is business as usual. Welcome to America in the 21st century.
How do you know that Bush is lying? His lips are moving...

Bulldog, just how might you know that, how would you know that I can't accept the truth, what truth is that and why not me? Perhaps you should realize that you said that nasty little retort yesterday to ME, and NO I wasn't insisting that the entire history of America was evil.
That wasn't the topic of conversation then and that wasn't what I said, AND I suppose that is your reason why you have a right to tell me that "I am a pathetic little America Hating Loser"? That's OK because you didn't like what I said?
Bulldog909, I'm afraid you just did it again, yes again, as if once was not enough.
I'm sorry sir, but just because you don't agree or you don't understand what is being said, that is still NO reason for you to call such names. AND this AFTER you got nasty and outraged with Prezzildent Dispondent this morning because he DARED to call McCain McSTAIN?

Huge shift in the polls still going on. Only NBC has Obama beating McCain in the general. Of course, it changes every day. Hillary has pretty much wiped out Obama's lead in Indiana and North Carolina
