Playing With War The Democrats are playing with war for political gain. This is going to bite them on their backside in 2008. We told them to have courage in the last election and they have demonstrated the opposite!

Unacceptable Failure in Washington Coakley ran without help. DSCC, DNC, and the White House all dropped the ball. It is time to look at the top and see the cause. Obama, Emanuel, and Axelrod all failed! At least Emanuel should lose his head for it!

Farewell Al Gore Al Gore's decision to shut down the draft Gore movement signals the end of Al Gore as a viable prospect for public office in our country. It is a shame that he cannot muster the energy and courage to take on this campaign, but we will survive!

Boiled Down It Comes to This Voters should have made up their minds by now. The reasons to vote for Democrats are obvious, but some voters might need a mantra to get them past all the confusion that will surely be thrown their way.
