It seems every four years we have a Democrat that runs on a Liberal platform during the primary. And each and every time, they decide, once they’ve cleared that hurdle, that they don’t need their base any more.

What Obama and the Dems don’t get is we don’t want wishy-washy, let’s go to the center, bullshit. They lose us every time when they do this. And I can tell you right now…The enthusiasm Obama had is starting to wane .
The reason? Like all the other losing candidates in our recent past, he’s forgotten what got him one and a half million donations. He forgot that we WANT a Liberal/Progressive agenda first and foremost. We expect it. And until we GET IT…we aren’t a lock (for votes) by any stretch of the imagination.

You abandon us? Guess what? We abandon you. This FISA thing, these Faith-based Bush initiatives…NO NO NO. We didn’t vote for more of the same. We didn’t “get involved” for more of the same. We opted in on the notion that CHANGE IS GOOD…IS NEEDED…and nothing less will satisfy us.

What the Dems don’t seem to understand is…THIS WILL NEVER CHANGE. We aren’t gonna vote for a slogan. Wake up. We WANT Liberalism to be a GOOD word. We want someone fighting for us. We’re the people who didn’t show up in 2000. We’re the people who voted for Nader. We aren’t afraid to send a message with our vote. We expect to be represented.

Obama talks about the youth vote, what’s on his iPod (some suprises there), and his top priorities if he becomes the President.

Kennedy while defending her decision to stay in the race against Barack
Obama.

“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the
California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all
remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t
understand it,” she said, dismissing calls to drop out. from New York Post

Obama / Webb ‘08

May 12, 2008

I think this combination is a winner. Rumour has it Webb is at the top of the list. That’s the best guy for the ticket , in my opinion. Webb has all the missing pieces as part of his natural personality. He’s tough. He knows foreign policy.

He’s got a kid in Iraq that he wants home. Enough said.

It seems there has been a recent interest in associating climate change/global warming with “over population” and that countries such as China and India have to do more to help contain global warming.

The president has been convicted of violating the law, yet nothing is being done. Meanwhile, many suspect Bush
is planning to invade Iran, another obvious violation of the consitution. How can we get Congress to impeach an
administration (they can all be impeached) so patently dismissive of the people’s will?
