Live From Yearly Kos
This place is a buzz with Nedrenaline… Everywhere I go, I’m handing out some piece of Ned-gear. The poll numbers have been recited with much merriment and tales from the MoveOn/DFA rally spread like wild-fire throuhout the convention. I’ll have a bunch of pictures and video, but my connection is spotty and time is limited. Suffice to say, the netroots are abuzz....more

Who does Glenn Beck think he is?
Why is CNN rewarding such potty-mouthed behavior by giving him a platform to spew his hate? And this calls attention to a larger issue -- why is it OK for a right-winger to be angry, but not Howard Dean? After all, this is the same network that dissected the so-called Dean Scream over and over again. But apparently, it is OK to yell, scream, and get hysterical if you're a Republican.....more

Samm Simpson Wit The Man
Real People, Real Solutions
As a grandmother, I’ve never been more concerned about the future of this great nation. That’s why I’m running for Congress. I’m fed up with an Administration that places corporate interests above the needs of the people. I’m fed up with a President that places himself above the law. I’m fed up with a Congress that refuses to allow investigations and refuses to demand accountability.....more

Revisionist History
This is a bad idea, particularly since the Bush family is going to need some revisionist history down the road to teach people that Jeb wasn't a moron and George W. wasn't the worst president in history.....more

DNC Chairman Howard Dean on Bush's Border Failures
"For the last five years, President Bush has failed to secure America's borders. While our northern border remains vulnerable, highlighted by the recent breakup of a terror plot in Toronto just one hundred miles from Buffalo, the President is resorting to more photo-ops along our southern border today.....more

Panic in Liebermanland
Crooks and Liars
"Why doesn't Joe, instead of continuing to insist that we are winning in Iraq, come up with a plan either to win (yes, that would take more troops but his friend John McCain is for that option) or to get out?--The whole point of being Joe Lieberman used to be decency, dignity, and thoughtfulness. Lieberman's attack ads look like the appeals of just another sleazy, desperate pol, grasping madly to hold on to office. As one citizen, a Republican, said: We have always held him to the high standard he set for himself. We expected more of Joe."

Pro-War Pols Don't Deserve a Political Future
Only a total idiot, however, could have bought the most bald-faced lie in the 2002 war resolution: conflating Iraq with the 9/11 terrorists. Accusing Iraq of "continuing to aid and harboring terrorist organizations" like Al Qaeda, the resolution contains 19 variants of the word "terrorism" and 10 references to "September 11, 2001." But Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11....more

The World According to Howard Dean
Nathan Tabor
This organization is clearly misnamed. It should be referred to as Liberals for America. Or make that Liberals against the American President. Democrats who veer from the radical liberal line and dare to say a kind word for a Republican President need not apply for any political post—even if they do have a winning record....more
Stogie's E-Mail To Mr. Tabor
mr. tabor, i am sorry but the whole piece was false. i am a proud dfa member myself. the war in iraq? big mistake.....
"president’s war on terror"?.... "In a time of war—when our nation’s security is at stake"?
..... hogwash. meme for the fox crowd. do you think all americans are stupid. supporting the nominations of Justices Roberts and Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court? was not a good thing, i dont care what most americans think. it is becouse of people like you putting out dis-information that they think that way.
As far as Mr. Lieberman, i am sure he is a fine man. but if he wants to be a democrat, he better start acting like one.
as far as this
"And the irony here is that Democracy for America is adopting policy stands which, if put up for a democratic vote of the people, would probably lose hands-down"
i think you are dead wrong. we are mainstream america

who is calling who names? we are not radicals. we are democrats. and there is no radical liberal line if you took the time to read the party platform you would know that. i am honored that someone like you would have this chat with me. you have gained a new reader. peace, stogie
Dean to Republicans: Stop Using Marriage to Pander to Base, Deflect from Failed Leadership
A new Gallup poll that shows the American people want Congress and the Republicans in Washington to focus on real issues like Iraq, immigration, health care, energy costs, the economy, the war on terrorism and education. (Gallup, 6/5/06) But, instead of addressing these issues, Washington Republicans have once again ripped a page from the Karl Rove playbook by using marriage as a wedge issue to win elections by dividing Americans.....more
