If You Can’t Stand the Heat, Get Out of the Kitchen

November 29, 2005 5:06 pm

“If You Can’t Stand the Heat, Get Out of the Kitchen” — this quote has often been attributed to Harry Truman. Perhaps Democrats should be saying the same to Dennis Hasert. To make a long story short, Kerry turned the heat up on Hasert and Hasert didn’t like it. I don’t know about Hasert personally, but I’ve seen enough of Rove, Bush, Cheney, Chambliss, Lott and Co. to finally say it: These Republicans aren’t conservatives, they’re bullies. To paraphrase...

Review, Al Franken’s “The Truth (with jokes)”

Franken's new book is not only a great read (as the writer of the foreward says, the book delivers on it's title and subtitle) it is a concise and complete review of the Bush Administration's unbelievable record. Several of us, and Bill Moyers, have said that the American public has reached a teachable moment. This is your textbook for those lessons.

Three Cheers for the State of Illinois on Healthcare for Kids

November 19, 2005 12:57 pm
By

During the 2004 campaign, John Kerry and other Democrats called it a national scandal that so many of this nation’s children were without health insurance. On Tuesday, the state of Illinois showed it was not only in agreement with Kerry/Edwards, but unlike our “esteemed” Congress in Washington, Illinois was determined to actually do something about it. As the New York Times reports: “Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich signed a measure on Tuesday intended to allow all children in Illinois, including...

Forget About Abortion, There’s A Much Greater Reason to Fear Justice Alito

November 16, 2005 10:05 am

Some liberals will be much tempted to make Judge Alito’s 1985 comments about abortion the linchpin of their opposition to Alito. Sure Alito should be asked about these comments, but if recent polls are any indication, we appear to be living in a “pro-choice” country. Sure some Dems are hurt by the fact that some people view Dems not as the pro-choice party, but as the “abortion on demand party” or a party that is viewed as having no...

It Appears Dems Have A Money Problem

I’m hoping this report from the WaPo is wrong, but I’ve got a bad feeling. Of course money can’t solve all the Dems problem, but it can’t hurt to have it on hand either — Democrats Losing Race for Funds Under Dean I’m not sure how much Dean can be blamed-if at all- for this situation. Hopefully this is just another case of Democrats getting into a circle for a firing squad rather than into a straight line. Well,...

How Dems Can Win a Majority Governors? Simple, Win on the Home Turf

Congratulations to all in New Jersey and Virginia. You fought hard, you stuck by progressive principles, you won and you deserve it. It was a good day to be a part of the party of the people. Still, one sad fact does remain: There are 28 GOP governors but only 22 Democrat ones. Of course there are reasons to think that Dem numbers will improve in this area. Still, I can’t help but notice that the reason for Dems...
