In Texas we need help to oust Republicans, I got an email from Boyd Ritchie, we need to get rid of John Cornyn and replace him with Rick Noriega. Here is the the email so if you can afford it help.

Thanks

Dear fellow Democrats,

In March, a record-shattering 2,874,986 Democrats voted in the primary, more than double the number of Republicans who turned out. Later that night over a million Texas Democrats attended their Precinct Convention and in just a few weeks more than 15,000 will gather in Austin for our State Convention. 

 
While Republicans have tried to claim that these numbers are a fluke, you and I know different - these numbers are a sign of the times of great things to come for Texas Democrats.

In fact, all across our state, Democrats are excited and mobilizing their friends and neighbors for the election this November, and Texas Republicans are running scared.

Two recent Texas polls prove that our Democratic candidates are running strong and that voters are ready for change. In fact, John McCain and John Cornyn can't even break 50% in our home state of Texas; a state that Republicans say is a GOP stronghold.

With your help, we can turn these numbers into victory in November as we take back our state.  Click here to join me contributing $10, $25, $50 or $100 today.
 
In all my years of working as a County Attorney and now State Party Chair, I've never seen so much enthusiasm and have been humbled by the outpouring of support and work. You've never let me down before, and I know you'll stand with me again now at this pivotal moment for Texas Democrats.
 
Join the Texas Democratic Party with a contribution of $10, $25, $50, $100 or even more!
 
The numbers are on our side, but we haven't won yet.

With your support, the Texas Democratic Party will be able to continue to lay the groundwork for victory from the White House to the county court house by training candidates, providing resources to grassroots activists and ensuring that all Texans cast their ballot for Democrats.

With your support, we can make this an extraordinary election for our state and our country.
 
Your friend and fellow Democrat,

Boyd L. Richie

Chairman

To Hell with Democracy in Iraq, what about Democracy here in America especially in FL and MI?

I am tired of the hypocritical stance taken by some Obama supporters that Iraq is somehow more deserving of Democracy and access to Democracy than the citizens of FL and MI. 

Since when is it Americans no longer count, I know you Obamacans are drooling and frothing for a victory at all cost, I get it, just like the schoolyard bully you want to impose you will on the rest of us. 

Well the voters, yes I said the voters of MI and FL are not at fault for what Democratic and Republican Leaderships may or may not have done in creating this mess. Yet through the unyielding selfishness of your desire and that of your candidate to win at all cost you have denied fellow Democrats their voice. 

I have heard all the childishly lame excuses, all the recriminations against Hillary and all the my way or the highway horse crap spewed against MI and FL as well as against the Hillary supporters on a daily basis here on this blog. 

But in your self-righteous, self serving and self-centered attempts to kick Hillary from the race and exclude Democrats from having a voice you have shown your own willingness to embrace the Republican philosophy’s and strategy of obtaining power through any means necessary and “America be damned” this will come back to haunt you, arrogance breeds contempt and the Obama camp is way to arrogant and thereby is breeding contempt from those so disenfranchised

Democracy has two fundamental requirements:  a well-fed populace and an educated populace.  There is a reason that it took 196 years to establish a democracy in the USA.  You may remember the dates:  1604 the pilgrims landed and then 1776 we become a new democratic nation.  When people are so busy to just trying to survive and not starve to death, there is not much time left over to think about much of anything else—education, government, the arts, etc.

The first wrong thing they did after pulling down Saddam’s statue was to create economic instability by dismissing the Iraqi army.  Instead of incorporating them into the new government (minus a few generals of course), the leadership of the Bush administration “fired” the army—thus creating an instant situation of 400,000 jobless men who are trained as professional soldiers.  So the very first thing they did was to increase the jobless rate in Iraq by almost half a million. Now if these men who have known nothing but soldiering all their lives are out of work and the “good guys” won’t hire them—where do you think they will go?

After years of bashing intelligent and thinking people and after years of people like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh equating Liberals with Satan, it would appear that the intelligent American is making a come back.  I see evidences of it all over the USA today.  Even on this DNC blog.  This morning one of the bloggers “My Vote” posted a great comment about Bush’s biggest gaffe this week: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is ­ the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."

“My Vote” let us all know that U.S. Sen. William Borah, the author of the quote was a Republican.  It’s the truth and the willingness of Americans such as “My vote” to seek and share the truth that will restore our democracy to the good health that it deserves.

Republicans are and should be panicked over the fact that conservative Democrat Travis Childers just defeated Republican Greg Davis by a margin of 54%-46% in the race for a vacant Mississippi congressional seat. That seat is in a conservative district that had given President Bush a 25-point margin of victory over John Kerry in 2004 - it never should have flipped Democrat. This is the third double-digit loss in a row for Republican candidates in conservative districts across the United States.

Childers' victory came one week after Rep. Don Cazayoux won a House seat in the Baton Rouge, La., area that had been in Republican hands for three decades. Over the winter, Rep. Bill Foster won an election in Illinois to succeed former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who had been in Congress more than 20 years.

What we're watching is the culmination of the decade-plus deterioration of the conservative Republican brand. Put simply, no one, including base conservatives, trusts the Republicans to govern effectively while following anything even faintly resembling a conservative platform.

That's unfortunate, since the only time that the Republicans really took the country by storm was in 1994, when they all ran on a set of firm, well established conservative values and issues. When the GOP strayed from that, falling back on the Democratic Party tradition of retaining power through excessive pork barrel spending and questionable ethical practices, they first lost seats - then lost their majorities. To regain what they have thrown away they must return to those conservative principles. If successful, they then must reject the compromising allure of power and promise to govern in the future as conservatives, not as the Democratic Party Lite.

Have the rest of you discovered that if you ask any of these "new" people in here who claim they are not chaos pundits a valid question that goes further into what they keep posting they shut up? Completely clam up. I have yet to have one continue with a discussion on a topic they bring up. They can't do it. Their cheat notes that are emailed to them don't go further into detail. They're like those stupid phone calls you use to get during dinner all the time wanting to sell you aluminum siding in the winter. Even if you are only passionate about one thing you are going to know all you can about that one thing and have as many sources as possible on that one thing.

Give it a try, you'll see what I man....if you haven't already :)
