    Senator Pridemore on Health Care

    While I disagree with Senator Pridemore that a bad bill with a couple of good provisions is better than no bill at all, Craig deserves praise for staking out a very clear position on health care reform.  The Democrats have to pass legislation that will provide health care at a reasonable cost to both businesses and individuals.  It needs to be [...]



    Democrats Have Committed Political Suicide

    Pelosi says public option is dead

    It is over for the Democrats even if they pass the Senate bill.  This legislation will be too little too late for them in November.  And if they don’t fix things quickly, they will be marginalized for at least a generation if not longer.  So sad.

    Looks like this is the only thing [...]



    Five Minutes With Michael Moore

    Michael Moore has a new letter to President Obama blaming the President’s mistakes and flip flops on Rahm Emanuel.  Michael has it wrong here.  The mistake was Obama’s hiring of Rahm in the first place.  Remember the old saying that President Truman had on his desk, “The Buck Stops Here”?

    I just read that Goldman Sacks may be stealing $100,000,000 every trading day.  And [...]



    Deb Wallace Withdraws From 3rd Congressional Race

    Top Two Primary System is Flawed

    Citing a desire to not “thin the field of Democrats” in the primary, Deb Wallace withdrew from the 3rd district race to replace Rep. Brian Baird.  This is yet another example of why the “top two” primary system is undermining the electoral process.  If we did not have political parties, the top two primary would make sense.  It would [...]

    First Things First

    Fixing the campaign finance system is one of the very few ways we can fix our government. And yet most of us spend far too much time and effort complaining about and/or trying to fix what is caused by not fixing the campaign finance system.  How to Get Our Democracy Back

    Fix Congress First

    Fix Campaign Finance, Support FENA.



    Bipartisanship Equals Selling Out The People

    Cenk Uygur has a fantastic post today about how bipartisanship is used as a foil to enable the Democrats to sell us out just like the Republicans sell us out to big corporate interests.  For those of you out there that thought the Democrats were different, this article goes a long way to explaining why their differences are not manifesting themselves now that they are [...]
