Move out the way ‘cause you’re blocking out the day.
— UB40, “Madam Medusa,” 1980
What a difference two years make, and this election, that’s seemingly been going on since then, is mercifully over. No more ads, no more fundraising, no more uncertainty. The Dow Jones reacted with a 312-point drop Thursday—that had been preceded by a 132-point gain the day after—amid the same global economic uncertainty that’s crippled us for four years, but more on that next time. IMO, it was practically a complete waste of time and, certainly, money—a mostly useless endeavor that changed little, but now brings us back to square one, with just Democrats stronger in the Senate. I thought we should have called it about halfway through—if not before it had even begun—and given everyone another two-to-four years to get it right, and held a simple national referendum instead: Shall we, as a nation, adopt the public financing of elections? Yea, or nay—just a simple call. If we want to get money out of politics, that's the surest way to do it, and probably the most painless and profound thing we could do to bring about “change,” let alone action. It was, instead, a referendum on a Black president that White America didn’t like and wanted thrown out. They despised him so much, it might as well have been Osama bin Laden who'd been elected, with Barack chained, shrouded, and unconscious at the bottom of Lake Michigan, the just fate of a traitorous “socialist.” In the end, the African American, the present reincarnation of Abraham Lincoln, won, as did all people of color, women, youth, LGBTs, etc. The election may have saved Roe v. Wade, but beyond that, where do we go from here, and what lies just ahead? Read More »
— Harry S. Truman, Sept. 18, 1948
Instead of relaxing in the posh Aston MonteLago Village Resort in Lake Las Vegas, a place that will likely lie in utter ruin once the Western water wars arrive in full swing sometime this century, perhaps President Obama should have reclined on the sofa of a campaign volunteer, if not in a cot in the cramped Democratic campaign office in Henderson on the eve of the presidential debate last week; he was soft. Instead of pouring over his advisor’s talking points before retiring, perhaps he should have watched The Great Debaters again; he was unprepared. Hard to believe, for a man who essentially abdicates his duties for days on end traversing the country in limousine jets attending rallies and fundraisers, which is fine, I guess, for these three months, but its been going on for months, if not years. Need more time to prepare, Mr. President? To those who know me, I’ve been forecasting the president’s re-election for a long time, in no small part in anticipation of these debates. Who could’ve known that upon the first, the first African-American president of the Yale Law Review would’ve used the opportunity to let his opponent back in? Read More »
You're living in the past it's a new generation.
— Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, “Bad Reputation,” 1980
If you and I were thoughtful, rebellious, young women, we wouldn’t have to give a damn, either, just as we could wander without care through a “world in trouble” in which “there's no communication.” Old stereotypes die hard, and despite all the efforts of Bill and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, and even Barack Obama, were being buried by them, like damaged girls who’d made perhaps one too many visits to a fraternity house. That sentiment is revealed in last month’s frightful USA Today/Gallup poll that shows that while the sitting president is dramatically winning the Reagan angle—likeability—by a 2-1 margin (60-30), he’s running behind in his perceived handling of crucial indicators on the economy and federal deficit: He trails candidate Romney by 10 points on the economy (51-41), six on job creation (50-44), 19 on the deficit (55-36), and four on taxes (49-45), despite Obama’s insistence he would veto an extension of the Bush tax cuts for the rich, something Romney, of course, supports, as if he’d have it any other way.

I am a life long democrat and I oppose Gay Marriage, though I have no problem with Civil Unions. I know a lot of democrats who also feel uncomfortable about the gay marriage issue; but far too many do not have the courage to speak up about it.
But, you can rest assured that the republican party is salivating and waiting for the democrats to make any possible misstep regarding this issue.
The gay marriage issue is a poison pill for the democratic party, but I believe that the civil union approach is a win win position for all; and it is a fair resolution.
Like in the movie "Speed" we need to take the Hostage out of the republicans hands and out of the equation; the civil union approach does just that.
The republican party will use whatever divisive issue they can to demonize the democratic party; we need not fall into their trap.
We can win in November, But we need to choose our battles wisely.
You might as well transact business with Donald Trump, negotiate oil prices with OPEC, or play high-stakes poker with Israel. Might as well call for human rights in China, or an independent Tibet; try to negotiate a peacekeeping force with Sudan in Darfur; or petition the ayatollahs to get out of politics. Might as well call for the Castros, or Robert Mugabe, to step down; ask the Saudi Royal Family to initiate democracy; or appeal to Vladimir Putin to establish human rights and independence in the Caucasus.
Want to be the Democratic president of the United States? Nah, just give it up. Might as well play five sets against Rafael Nadal, or Novak Djokovic; go 72 holes with Rory Mcllroy; take batting practice against Félix Hernández; go one-on-one with Dwyane Wade, or LeBron James; or sprint 100 meters with Usain Bolt. Because, you know, it just isn’t happening, and chances are, you’ll just get fleeced. Read More »
President Obama has been campaigning to boost democratic support and voters turn out throughout the nation. Under the main media spotlight, has been the state senate election, yet many voters do not fully understand what is truly at stake.
As it stands, the 100 seats of the U.S. Senate are under dominance by the Democratic Party. With a majority of 59 to 41 republican senators and 2 independent delegates who caucus with the democrats. Tomorrow there are 37 seats up for election and it’s predicted that republicans will walk away with senate majority. If all news predictions regarding policy changes upon this shift, come to fruition, the republican candidates will in fact revoke many, if not all of the recent legislation put into effect under President Obama the past 2 years.
At the front of the republican chopping block will be the recently revoked tax cuts for people in the top tier income bracket (million / billionaires); implemented under our last President George W. Bush. Also up for elimination would be President Obama’s recent health care reform; which has already granted basic health benefits to 30 million Americans. There have been comments, made by Republicans, confirming that once gaining control of the Senate, they (Republicans) will initiate attempts to impeach President Obama. This, to say the least, is disheartening; especially given the fact that in the 2008, many of the states, now facing republican take over, supported democrats.
What has become evident is that many Americans are preoccupied with personal hardships and are more or less disconnected from the actual progress, which President Obama and the Democratic Party have made on behalf of their best interest. Certain media outlets have succeeded in casting a large spot light on the lack of immediate change in the economy and job climate; therefore casting a shadow on what new policies have taken effect and how they have and would continue to benefit a majority of Americans.
Though New Jersey is not involved in this years Senate races, I encourage all of you to reach out to your friends and family in other states and encourage them to get out and vote tomorrow. There are states that were won by the Democrats in the 2008 presidential race: Ohio, Pennsylvania (which at this point may be decided by the Democratic turn out in its city of Philadelphia), North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire and Delaware, which are now being lead by a significant Republican force. As a local election candidate, I always want to emphasize the importance of constituents not only rushing to the polls for national elections, but state, county and local elections as well. Without support of subsidiary politicians in office, we can get to a point where our President is rendered powerless to accomplish everything we are counting on him to do.
Vote Democrat 11/2/2010.

Vote Democrat 11/2/2010.
1. Republicans (especially the Bush administration) weaken regulation to the point where it fails to prevent a major financial crisis and environmental disaster (BP oil leak), and fails to ensure adequate planning and resources to respond to an environmental disaster (e.g., allow a response plan for a well in the Gulf of Mexico that includes contacting a dead expert and mentions species like walrus that live in cold climates).
2. Republicans successfully blame Democrats for not fixing the economy. (In addition, don't take partial responsibility for us not stopping the oil spill sooner).
3. Instead of admitting that under-regulation helped cause the financial crisis, Reppublicans advocate less regulation to make it easier for businesses to make profits. Don't tell voters that this will weaken protections for consumers, investors, and responsible companies that will not have regulation to provide a level playing field. Republicans advocate less regulation whether the economy is doing well or not, so claims that regulation hurts the economy are suspect. When the economy did well under Bill Clinton, for example, we had significant regulation.
4. Republicans build voter support for low taxes by claiming Read More »
After eight years of the Bush administration, regulations were weak. Weak regulation failed to prevent creditors from lending money to debtors who could not afford to pay their debt (unless things went very well). Things didn't go very well. The financial crisis happened.
Bottom line: the financial crisis was caused mainly by irresponsible borrowing and lending, permitted by weak regulation.
The financial crisis started before Democrats came to power in 2008. The crisis took years to develop. It will take years to fix. Democrats tried to improve it faster with stimulus funding to increase consumer and business confidence, but Republicans have prevented more stimulus (even though many economists call for it).
Part of the problem is that some companies had become too big to fail. Too big to fail is too big.

Who’s on your side?
Recent BDN editorials show why you should vote Democratic. For example, on Sept. 28, the BDN wrote, “Requiring cars and trucks to go farther on a gallon of gasoline is good for the economy and the environment — as well as national security.”
Democrats favor sound regulations such as increasing fuel efficiency.
Republicans oppose regulation, even though current regulations are so weak that they failed to prevent the financial crisis, the BP oil spill and death of workers on the job (e.g., BP employees and miners).
On Sept. 30, the BDN made “the strong case for investing more in higher education.” Democrats want to strengthen higher education to develop the educated workers our economy will need.
On Oct. 1, the BDN noted, “Policies on taxes, education and other matters must begin to [move] back toward helping the middle class.” Republicans oppose letting the Bush tax cuts for the richest 2 percent of Americans expire. On Oct. 4, the BDN noted, “Allowing the massive cuts to expire would not increase taxes, but rather it would simply undo an unwise and unfortunate tax reduction.”
Noting Paul LePage’s lack of self-control, on Oct. 1, the BDN remarked, “Saying you’ll tell the president to go to hell isn’t a fiscally prudent strategy for a would-be governor.” Democrats would bring more federal dollars to Maine.
On Oct. 10, the BDN noted, “Existing law, weakened by the Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling, is letting a flood of unidentified money flow into the congressional races,” mainly for Republicans. Democrats oppose letting big corporations secretly push their agenda.

DEMOCRATIC GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE MICHAEL E. ARTH FILES GRIEVANCES AGAINST FLORIDA DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Tallahassee, FL: August 25, 2009: Democratic gubernatorial candidate Michael E. Arth filed a set of grievances and proposals to the Rules Committee and Judicial Council of the Florida Democratic Party (FDP) today. The four page list of grievances, titled “The Democratic Party is Not Being Democratic,” include complaints regarding Arth being frozen out by the party leadership, the party’s breaking of neutrality in violation of democratic principles, and the PDP’s blatant support of another candidate long before the primary election, even while enforcing non-endorsement laws on their Democratic Executive Committees. The grievance also lists various proposed changes that would make the Democratic Party democratic. Contact information follows the attached, original grievance and proposals: Read More »
First, the people who protests the new President for raising tax rates are generally conservatives who likely voted for John McCain. That shouldn't discredit them because a lot of the anti-war protesters voted for John Kerry. So, its understandable that the opposition to the Democratic leadership want to voice their concern about the administration. However, whose policies are these conservatives actually protesting? GEORGE Bush, the guy they voted for is who they are protesting. If you don't like the President's policies than find a policy that he is liable for and protest on those grounds. Protesting policies that have been in place for eight years and trying to make them Obama's is disingenuous and lacks all creditability.
Next, I am uncomfortable with this group's knowledge of the facts. They grab their pitch forks, picket signs and white hoods to TEABAG the White House for raising their taxes. On the other hand, we all know that Obama campaigned for TWO years on the grounds that 95% of working Americans receives a tax cut under his administration. . The tax plan that will be in place for NEXT YEAR IS A TAX CUT. The rich wont face a new tax but wull face the Clinton tax rate. Clinton managed the economy well and ended his time in office with a surplus. So, why protest a policy that brought about a decade of growth? Furthermore, I grow tired of conservatives' saying that Obama's plans are a step toward socialism. What I don't hear is these same conservatives taking a stand and saying that they are willing to stop using Medicaid or Medicare. Those socialist program assist millions and probably people in their family. I don't hear them saying they want to pay out of their pockets for their child to go to school. Free Education is a socialist program that makes us competitive in a global market. I don't hear them saying that we should do away with social security benefits. That's a socialist program that many senior citizens need. The fact that they don't know these basic American facts echoes the sentiment that the base of the conservative movement serves as a establishment for emotions over logic, a foundation for self-interest over real patriotism, and a sanctuary for fear over common sense. Socialism is systems of social organizations in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy. We are nowhere near this definition.
Finally, its time to admit that you hate the President. Its okay to admit that you hate the guy. No one will call you a racist for hating the President . They may call you a racist when you go to these Teabaggings with signs calling him a Muslim; notwithstanding that, they wont call you a racist. They may call you a racist when you insist that he isn't born in America; despite that, they wont call you a racist. So don't worry about what people think of you. Just say you hate the President. Hating the President is better than making a fool out of yourselves misrepresenting the administration's polices on taxes and confusing them with the person you voted for in 2004. Just say you hate the President. Hating the President is better than you making a fool out of yourselves reliving the Boston Tea Party without recognizing that the Boston Tea Party was about Taxation without Representation not about receiving a TAX CUT from the new President. Just say you Hate Barrack Obama. If you don't Hate the president than it appears you are protesting a President who is giving you a tax break . Hmm?
Just on May 20 of 2009, I have read that Republicans have voted on a petty resolution that calls on the Democratic Party to be permanently renamed as the "Democratic-Socialist Party", a move Michael Steele says will have his party "look outward instead of inward". Do you believe this name-calling will truly help the GOP at all, or will it further damage the party? To those who are reading this, please share your thoughts and opinions in the comment section of this page. (My personal answer will be written therein.)
Democrats' leader hammers both parties

State Democratic Party Chairman Ivan Holmes has a Ph.D. in communications and he's not afraid to use it. Friday he hammered the Republican Legislature and tight-fisted Democrats about the head and shoulders for an hour at the Democratic Luncheon Club in downtown Tulsa.
"There is no democracy going on at the Capitol in Oklahoma City," Holmes said. "Our House and Senate people are getting so beaten down, the Republicans are almost dictatorial. They're blatant about it and they don't care."
The GOP, he said, is "ruthless, organized and they've got money."
But Holmes was also critical of fellow Democrats.
He said that two years ago, when he became chairman, only 17 individuals gave as much as $1,000 a year to the party. That's up to 150 now, but isn't nearly enough to compete with the Republicans or to compensate for the money the state received from the national party under former national chairman Howard Dean.
"Our party has no money," he said, noting that the Democratic Senate caucus' political action committee ended the last election cycle $25,000 in debt and the House PAC is almost broke, too.
And, he said, the trial lawyers say they'll no longer contribute to the legislative PACs because of last year's poor election results.
"We have to raise $750,000 by 2010 to be viable," Holmes said. "You can't run a party like we have."
Holmes said President Obama's organization appears to be concentrating national party resources on "target states" -
which Oklahoma, after giving Obama only 34 percent of the vote, is not.
"What we've got to do is convince the Obama people we ought to be targeted," Holmes said
Holmes is not seeking a second two-year term but said he will continue to work for the state party as a volunteer.
DNC Announces Clyde Williams as New Political Director
Democratic National Committee
For Immediate Release
February 20, 2009
Washington, DC – The Democratic National Committee today announced the appointment of Clyde Williams as DNC political director. Williams -- who previously served as a senior policy advisor at the Clinton Foundation, Vice President of State and Local Government Affairs at the Center for American Progress, and deputy chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Agriculture -- brings a unique combination of policy and political background to the position.
"We’re thrilled that someone with Clyde’s immense skill and unique combination of experience with domestic policy issues and grassroots political organizing will be joining the DNC’s leadership team," said DNC Executive Director Jen O’Malley Dillon. "Governor Kaine has stated his goals of helping advance the President’s agenda and promoting broader participation in the civic dialogue. Having Clyde serve as our political director is an important part of our effort to engage more Americans in our effort to implement practical solutions to the challenges facing our country."
"I look forward to a great opportunity to work with Governor Kaine, Jen O’Malley Dillon, and of course the White House to advance the President’s agenda and continue to strengthen our Party," said Williams. "These challenging times demand real leadership from Washington and a renewed commitment to truly engaging the American people in the effort to move our country forward. I am honored by the opportunity to help Governor Kaine with this historic effort."

Also, to gain membership to my "3million4obama" facebook, myspace, and blackplanet group. This is private not affilaited in anyway with the Democratic Party, President-Elect Obama or staff.
For Democrats, Barack Obama's stunning victory last night over John McCain brought a seemingly endless and often bitter presidential campaign battle to a welcome end. Obama's victory came as cause for relief and for celebration, as did Democratic gains in the Senate and the House of Representatives. When our first African American president takes office in January, Democrats will enjoy a position of authority in Washington we have not held since a brief period from 1992 to 1994. Many progressives are saying now that the era of conservative dominance in America beginning with the rise of the "New Right" in the 1970s and the Reagan victory in 1980 has now come at last to an end, that the long Republican nightmare is over, and I too am hopeful that this is so. While we celebrate and look ahead to the Obama Era, however, we should also remember that just as power can be won so it can also be lost, as it was in 1980, 1994, and 2000.
Each end is also a beginning; and so the end of Campaign 2008 and the end of Republican rule is also the beginning of something, but of what? Are we at the doorstep of a bold new progressive age that begins with Obama and extends into infinity, or of another brief Democratic reign to end again with a bitter Republican resurgence? Now that we have successfully driven the Republicans from power, how do we keep them from coming back, as we know we must if we are to avoid a repeat of the past eight years? A Republican resurgence would be a disaster, not only for Democrats and progressives, but for America and the world. The Karl Roves and Dick Cheneys of the world are not going anywhere. They will simply retreat to their think tanks and begin cooking up plans to retake power, just as they did during the Clinton years. Their success must be prevented by any and all means at our disposal.
While progressives will surely have a place at the table in the new administration, we cannot expect that the Left will or should dominate the Obama agenda at least in the near term. I would consider myself to be well on the Left of the Democratic Party, and I'm happy that progressives will have a voice in the new administration, but I feel pretty certain that Obama will have to govern more-or-less from the center if he is to avoid creating a whole new generation of "Reagan Democrats." I am hopeful that it may now be possible for progressives not simply to move the government to the left but to actually move the country to the left, and to create a new progressive America free of the politics of Reagan and Bush. In order for this to happen, however, Democrats in Washington will first have to prove themselves capable of governing the country effectively and satisfactorily in the eyes of their constituents. Once conservative-leaning, "soft" Democrats see that liberals aren't so bad after all, they will be much more likely to elect Democrats to Congress in 2010, to re-elect President Obama in 2012, to put another Democrat in the White House in 2016, and to listen to progressive ideas in the meantime with an open mind. While Democrats in Washington focus on effective governance, they and Democratic activists including us in the netroots must also focus on maintaining the gains we have made and on making further gains in election cycles to come. We cannot afford a repeat of 1980, 1994, or 2000.
Meanwhile, a whole new generation of first-time Democratic voters has been brought into the electorate, and this new Democratic base must be maintained and built at a grassroots level. Because of a far less reliable base of Democratic voters in previous elections, a hardcore Republican base of social conservatives, neo-cons, bigots, and xenophobes was allowed to dominate American politics for the better part of thirty years. This can never be allowed to happen again. Republicans who cannot be persuaded to go Democratic must be isolated and outvoted. In the immediate term, this means building a broad new Democratic base that includes centrists and even moderate conservatives in addition to progressives and the Left: not an easy task. The brilliant success of the Obama campaign in doing precisely that, however, can be credited in great part to Obama's experience as a community organizer in Chicago - experience that will serve the Democratic Party's organizing efforts well in the years to come.
Indeed if anyone is up the difficult tasks which surely lie ahead, I think it is our new president-elect. Throughout his campaign, he has shown himself to be a steady, focused, and disciplined political leader: not bad traits if one wishes to be an effective and successful president. More importantly, Obama possesses clear vision and a spirit of idealism that could not contrast more with the cynicism of the era that has just ended. He also possesses a strong, committed base of grassroots support that is ready for the battles to come. I for one look forward with hope and confidence to the road ahead.
