Corrupt Democratic Party Hack Debbie Wasserman Schultz
The DCCC is going to extraordinary lengths to prop up the political careers of Blue Dogs who, as a default position, habitually cross the aisle and vote with the GOP on key issues. The DCCC has tens of millions of dollars ready to deploy and, in a boneheaded strategy devised largely by corrupt Democratic Party hack Debbie Wasserman Schultz, much of it will be used to attempt to save the seats of anti-Choice, antigay, anti-healthcare conservatives who vote with the Republicans.here

Vote Yes On Amendment 4
There are plenty of scary monsters fighting against Amendment 4, your right to vote on development issues that could raise your property taxes. Like the monsters who gave millions to the opposition after getting millions of dollars in federal bailouts. Unlike in the movies, in real life we can fight Florida's monsters by voting Yes on 4 on Nov. 2.

The Case for Liberal Apathy
Liberal Democrats are twice as likely as conservative Republicans to stay home this November. Establishmentarian liberals are urging left-of-center voters to ignore the President's failure to deliver--and his refusal to try--on the issues they care about."The biggest mistake we [Democrats] could make right now," urged Obama last week, "is to let impatience or frustration lead to apathy and indifference--because that guarantees the other side wins."
"Impatience"? That implies there's something to be impatient about. That Obama is moving too slowly. But that's not the case. Liberals don't see a slow process. They see no process.
And what, exactly, is this "other side"? On issue after issue, Obama has cut-and-pasted Bush's Republican policies. Which isn't surprising, given that he didn't appoint a single liberal to his Cabinet.
The real problem for the Dems is a perception gap. The Democratic Party leadership thinks it deserves credit. They think they've accomplished a lot. "We've done the heavy lifting," bragged Nancy Pelosi, citing passage of the bailout, healthcare and financial regulation bills. But liberal voters were against the bailout. They see the healthcare and financial reform bills as useless sellouts to corporations.

Right Wing Trash
Liberal (Socialist) Rally Leaves Lincoln Memorial Ridden With TrashThe liberal “One Nation Working Together” rally in Washington Saturday was a trashy affair — much trashier than Fox News host Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally held at the end of August, at least according to one member (who didn’t want to be identified by name)......The Daily Caller
“I consider [The Daily Caller’s article] to be highly inaccurate. The garbage at the “One Nation” rally was no different than any other rally. Trash, it seems, is apolitical......Bill Line, Spokesmen for the National Park Service
Looking at the pic of the trash can and the field behind it. I think those Liberal Socialist Commies did a fine job. For the real Pigs at the Trough, check out these comments.
The Stogie is sorry. He usually dosn't post Right Wing Propaganda but was asked to by a friend!

Honor the Fallen Bike Ride
It was an emotional night. Before we biked, I read the names of Diane and five other bicyclists killed while pedaling since July 29. Ed Collins then talked about the loss of his dad, LeRoy, and his frustration that the driver who killed his dad was never cited. Then we started pedaling and it was amazing to see the long line of bicyclists biking down Central Avenue.here

Rahm Emanuel, Fuck You!
Howard Dean Calls Rahm's 'Contempt' For Base 'Devastating And Incredibly Demoralizing'"I'm not looking to pick another fight with Rahm Emanuel, but the contempt with which he held the progressive wing of the party was devastating and incredibly demoralizing, That's basically saying to your own people -- you got us here, now FU."......Howard Dean
The Stogie will no longer be voting for the lesser of the two evils. From this day forward he will be voting his conscience, even if that means a much despise republican candidate gets elected. The two party system has to end. See you in November. And in 2012, he will support the real liberal.
So Fuck You Rahm Emanuel and the rest of your cohorts.
