Daily Kos, Along with Obama’s Base, Is Fracturing »

The other night, I wrote in “The Choice (But I’ve Been Touched) – A Long Overdue Update“: [M]any Kossacks attacked the blog founder Markos (“Kos”) Moulitsas when he announced he was withholding his $2,300 donation to Obama’s presidential campaign because of his dismay with Obama’s backpedaling on FISA, public financing, and more. Kos titled his [...]

The Choice (But I’ve Been Touched) – A Long Overdue Update »

Late on the evening of February 21, 2008, I was transformed. Alas, it’s been quite a while since I’d visited the site, “Is Barack Obama the Messiah?,” and I didn’t realize how much I’d missed. On February 21st, I discovered: I’ve been touched by the “bluesman from Chicago.” I’ve been inspired by the “new synthetic [...]

All is Not Well in the Kingdom of Obama [UPDATED] »

Editorial Note: Barack Obama (his very self) responds to the angst of his followers at the end of this post. Somehow I don’t think they will like it. Not everyone is happy with Senator Barack Obama. Many of his once loyal followers have woken up from the trance they were in and have started exhibiting [...]

Obama Be With You »

In case you haven’t heard, Comrade Obama has added up the Democrats who would rather vote for a cockroach — so he is now on a hunt for votes in unlikely quarters. In keeping with his shameless vote whoring habits, he is now pandering to Evangelicals. Not only is he attempting to con Evangelicals, but [...]

Totalitarian Tactics and an Illegitimate Nominee »

Neither the main stream media nor the Democratic Party nor even the Obama campaign itself has come to terms with the damage Obama’s tactics have done to our Party. The damage was facilitated by the media and the big blogs. Obama’s first task was controlling the media. Politicalcenter writes: Taking their cue from totalitarian regimes, [...]

Democratic Delegate Supports McCain »

Note: This post is being put up simultaneously with TexasDarlin’s report that Debra Bartoshevich has been ousted. Meet  Debra Bartoshevich, A Wisconsin Delegate With Guts. She has refused to support Barack Obama. ….And over at the Orange spot, they believe  that people like Debra and we Hillary supporters should be “eradicated”. That’s right. “Eradicated“. If you [...]

The RBC = Bush v. Gore »

Hillary supporters watched with amazement and horror over the weekend as the RBC arbitrarily stole 4 Michigan delegates from Hillary, gave Obama delegates he didn’t earn, and disenfranchised 50% of Florida Democrats. The theft of delegates was blatant and illegal:

The Neo-Liberal War on Blue-Collar Whites and the Breakup of the Democratic Party »

Dorothea LANGE, “Migrant Mother,” 1936 A friend paraphrases a famous story to illustrate why she may vote Republican for the first time in 40 years: in the late 1960s, when the feminist movement was still thought of as a novelty, a boorish male reporter asked the heterosexual Gloria Steinem if she was a lesbian. Steinem [...]

Obama is Bush Redux »

Written by Bud White (Retired from the L.A.P.D. and now working full-time for No Quarter). A line from his role in L.A. Confidential: “It’ll look like justice. That’s what the man got. Justice.” ____________________________ Kristen Breitweiser was married to Ronald Breitweiser, an executive at Fiduciary Trust International. They lived a charmed upper-middle class life in [...]

The Sun Queen and a Very Real Contest »

According to Obama supporters and his allies in the media, Hillary is finished and the nomination is securely in Obama’s hands. David Broder laments that “If Clinton weren’t still challenging, [Obama] could easily devote a week to a swing through Hispanic enclaves from California to New York.” But Hillary is challenging and I take Hillary [...]

Meet Me In Denver: The rest of the story »

You’ve now seen Alegre’s diary, which she posted last night at MyDD.com. Here’s the rest of the story. Two things happened: 1) Alegre received an official warning (BELOW THE FOLD), and she had to acknowledge, by clicking the buttons, that she saw the SINS ERRORS of her ways in order to be able to continue [...]

Meet Me In Denver! (PART I) »

(PART II WILL BE PUBLISHED IN ONE-HALF HOUR) I got an email from a friend and have tried to confirm this from other sources – no luck as yet but I thought I’d mention this to raise an important point gang… Rumor has it that Camp Obama’s making a huge push to make nice with [...]

These are Barack Obama’s Supporters »

From a diary at the orange place titled, “Cheers to Hillary is 44, Taylor Marsh and MyDD“: [...] [S]ome of Clintons “supporters” managed to do what the Clinton campaign could not, assure us a true candidate for change in the general. Thank you for turning off numerous Super-Delegates with your threats to vote McCain. Thank [...]

Competing Endorsements and Parallel Narratives »

As the campaign for the nomination heads into the final days before North Carolina and Indiana, both campaigns are attempting to control the narrative prior to the voting. Obama is failing miserably. The Clinton campaign so fully controls the narrative now that it’s virtually a presidency-in-waiting, with bully pulpit and podium to boot (more on [...]

Obama Turns On the Race-Baiting Wurlitzer: Signs of Candidacy in Trouble »

I started crying during the speech and wept for a good while after Dr. King finished. He had said everything I believed, far better than I ever could…that speech steeled my determination to do whatever could for the rest of my life to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream come true. — From My Life [...]
