Republicans Ask Rape Victims to Roll Over

The GOP has definitely become the "Gas and Oil Party." It's time for us to use our heads, and not listen to the Republicans, they'll lie to use time and time again.... President Bush just appeared on national television imploring...

The False Argument for Democratic Party Unity

It's been a steady drumbeat for almost two months now. The claim that the Democratic race extending on as long as it has is somehow detrimental to the party's chances in the November election. It's just plain false.

It's up to Barack and Hillary and You and Me

I don't believe that it's solely up to Obama. No question he needs to reach out and welcome former Clinton supporters into the camp - but the job isn't his alone. Hillary Clinton should and, I'm confident will -- reach out as well and help pull together Democrats, helping to unite the party. But it will take more than Hillary and Barack's efforts. It will take all of us Democrats reaching out to heal the divide that'll really drive this process.

Calling on Clinton to Lead the Way to an Obama Presidency

As a long-term, vocal supporter of Hillary Clinton's candidacy I feel the time has come. It's time to give credit where credit is due. Last night's Indiana and North Carolina primaries were turning points in the Democratic nomination contest -- as both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama predicted they would be -- but things didn't turn in Hillary Clinton's direction. Obama's victory in North Carolina and virtual tie in Indiana, despite the obstacles placed in his way, shows he has what it takes to go the distance, and I now stand behind and in support of Barack Obama's candidacy for President of the United States.

It's the Economy, Obama

Obama talks about how he'll do it instead of what he'll do! Clinton has the experience, and the specific plan. We need to invest in our futures. We need solutions. We need Clinton.

The Republican Recession and the Financial Press

The tone, demeanor, and refreshing honesty with which Paul Ferrell attacks Fed Chairman Bernacke and the GOP administration in this Marketwatch article is really refreshing - and a further, welcomed indication that the nation has just plain had enough of the Republican'ts for a while, and seems quite ready and willing to kick their butts out of Washington.
