What the Reagan-Flap Really Says about Obama, Clinton, and Edwards

The recent flap over Barack Obama’s comments on Ronald Reagan speaks volumes about what distinguishes our three democratic presidential candidates.  But what it says is not complementary to either Obama or Clinton.  Instead, once again, it shows us that John Edwards is the real candidate all Democrats should support.
Obama’s Intent
When Obama described Reagan’s Republican Party [...]

Goldilocks and the Three Candidates

It was primary day in the forest and so Goldilocks told her mother she was going to go vote.  Goldilocks was a democrat and she was terrified at the terrible condition of her country.  Her vote today mattered a great deal to both her and her country. 
She left her home and went down the path [...]

All Of The Above Equals None Of The Above

Here’s an itch that I’ve been wanting to scratch so I guess that I’ll just let it hang out. I probably looked forward to the Hillary Clinton presidential candidacy since some time just after the end of the 2000 election. Watching her perform on the campaign trail (and by “her” I include, but do not [...]

The Survivor, The Meteor, and the Champion

They all can win in the general election; therefore, the question is which will be best for our nation?  Consider:
The Survivor: Hilary Clinton has a record of change.  She also has a record of failure, a record of compromise, and a record of working with corporatists who have corrupted our system and turned it against [...]

Dizzy’s Ten Post Round-Up

I have a long day ahead of me (it’s a work night) and a lot of things to take care of, today, so let’s just jump in, shall we?
(I do have a lot on my mind, so if you are curious, please feel free to stop by my personal blog I’m Jus’ A Lil’ Dizzy)
Oh, [...]

It’s Our Democracy, Stupid

 
Why the Progressive Movement Needs to Unite Behind John Edwards
By Hank Edson
At the end of last summer, I proposed in two sequential opinion pieces that perhaps John Edwards was the man progressives should rally around in order to have the most beneficial impact on our direction as a nation. (See Edwards, Does He Mean It? [...]

Andrew Sullivan Hearts Ron Paul

Andrew Sullivan started out the morning by noting Ron Paul’s record fundraising haul and exclaiming it “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” I’m not sure about the analogy, but I guess it works for Sullivan, who has become the latest Ron Paul cheerleader.
Sullivan explains that Obama is his choice in the Democratic race, but in a choice [...]

Ron Paul The Third?

Money being the grease for the wheels of politics, it looks like Texas good old boy Ron Paul has hit himself a gusher. Being one of those who have roundly criticized the good gentleman, I can only sit back and watch his accomplishments with amazement:

No Obamamania Here

Last week I was contacted by a local Los Angeles Obama volunteer, inviting me to donate to Obama’s campaign and attend his upcoming fundraiser extravaganza here in Los Angeles at the Gibson Amphitheater.  I explained to the volunteer that I am uncommitted to a candidate at this time, but would love to attend as a [...]

The Ron Paul Phenomemon

I paid some attention to the efforts by Lyndon Larouche to run for President. I also did my research on Ross Perot, and didn’t care much for the thought of him being in the White House, but certainly appreciated the difference he made in 1992. In a sense I see the Ron Paul candidacy as [...]
