Do the Dems (Pelosi/Reid/Obama) secretly fear that Bush could allow another 9/11 to happen, yes, I said "allow", just like how BushCo allowed the first 9/11 to happen via their "benign neglect" of tons of credible advance warnings.

I don't want to debate here now how the first 9/11 happened. I want to debate here now why the Dems are folding on FISA (and folding on other progressive stuff that we want) like acordions, and by "Dems" I am also including the oh-so-holy Obama who can do no wrong (I support him, so back off, and don't give me any grief.)

McCain's candidacy is a dead duck, everybody knows that.

I think that Pelosi/Reid/Obama thinks that the only thing that can POSSIBLY save McCain's candidacy is for another 9/11 to occur in America, anytime from now until election day.

*******************************************************
ATTENTION; THIS DIARY DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPLICIT ENDORSEMENT OF CINDY SHEEHAN, AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS SUCH. THANK YOU.

The sole purpose of this diary is to provoke a thoughtful unfettered discussion about the options for dealing with Nancy Pelosi.
*******************************************************

I want to see the entire progressive netroots formally target Pelosi for defeat, not in 2010, but NOW in 2008, to demonstrate a clear & swift linkage/consequence for the sham FISA "compromise" bill that Pelosi is extremely responsible for.

We can't go after and defeat every single Vichy Dem who betrayed our Constitution and who subverted our legal system with their FISA compromise, but we CAN focus all of our considerable resources on and reach out & touch one big fish like Pelosi, and make a dramatic political power statement that will be heard by the Dem party establishment who played us and then betrayed us on FISA Telecom immunity.

FISA: Jonathan Turley says, Dems are protecting THEMSELVES.

Legal scholar Jonathan Turley was a guest on Countdown last night (watch the MSNBC video here), where Turley concluded to Keith Olbermann that the FISA immunity compromise now happening is most likely because top Dems themselves fear retribution for their complicity in Bush's illegal spying activities.

Jonathan Turley makes the point that several years ago, certain top Dems were intimidated by Bush into quietly going along with Bush's illegal spying activities, and now those same Dems are afraid that they themselves could be held liable for any illegal spying committed by Bush and the Telecomm companies (Turley used the words "an obvious level of [Dem] collusion".)

Keith Olbermann then concluded by saying that the Dems are thus "covering their own asses here".

50% of McCain's battleground female supporters pro-choice!

Did you know that a poll indicated that nearly 50% of McCain's current female supporters in battleground states are pro-choice?

link

A Planned Parenthood poll of women voters in 16 battleground states earlier this year showed 49 percent of McCain's supporters called themselves pro-choice and said they support Roe.

NARAL says that is precisely why it endorsed Obama now. The group's leaders fear that many pro-choice women who support McCain don't know he is against abortion rights. (Indeed, the Planned Parenthood poll showed that half of women who supported McCain couldn't describe his position on the issue.) NARAL's board members, including Clinton supporters, voted unanimously to get behind the likely Democratic nominee so they could start going after McCain.

These numbers suggest that there is a HUGE pool of current McCain supporters (uninformed pro-choice females) in battleground states just ripe for being siphoned away from McCain, and suggest that McCain could be defeated on just the pro-choice issue ALONE, but the problem right now with that is that:

While everybody here is anxiously speculating about what Hillary will or will not do tonight, whatever Hillary does or does not do tonight, I want us all to keep the following in mind:

Pelosi and Reid want this damn thing over NOW, lest our now-excellent chances for more House & Senate Dem seat pickups become jeopardized. Thus,

anything said by Hillary tonight that looks to work against that #1 goal of Pelosi and Reid will cause the long knives to come out for Hillary asap, in the way of Pelosi and Reid PERSONALLY pressuring already committed Hillary SD's to flip, pressuring undeclared SD's to commit for Obama, etc.

I am now going to speak the unspeakable truth, which is that Hillary lost primarily because she has an unappealing vinegar personality devoid of any personal charm/warmth/empathy.

The MSM will never say this publically because they are all afraid of being called "sexist", but having a lousy turn-off personality is a gender-neutral issue.

Remarkably, Hillary skillfully went as far as she could on her husband's resume, and with her husband's political organization, and with her husband's political allies/donors, and on Hillary's own gender (Hillary's phony feminist victimhood frame),

Hillary: Why I continue to run

BY HILLARY CLINTON

Sunday, May 25th 2008

This past Friday, during a meeting with a newspaper editorial board, I was asked about whether I was going to continue in the presidential race.

I made clear that I was - and that I thought the urgency to end the 2008 primary process was unprecedented. I pointed out, as I have before, that both my husband's primary campaign, and Sen. Robert Kennedy's, had continued into June.

Whoosh! Now, did you catch that superb example of Orwellian 1984 Doublespeak by Hillary above?

We have heard it a million times now. The Clinton "machine" is awesome & formidable, because it will do anything to win.

Hillary repeatedly cites that as a virtue, cites such an attitude as embodying the sort of rugged determination & grit required to succeed in politics (or succeed in athletics, or succeed in business, etc.)

But being dishonest & unscrupulous as a means of winning is no virtue, it is rather a vice that only liars and cheaters and scam artists and criminals employ, including political criminals like Bush & Cheney and their accomplices.

We know that politics can be better than that, and Obama is showing us how.

Tonight on PBS' News Hour, David Brooks and Mark Shields discussed Hillary's "RFK" statement today.

David Brooks casually, almost jokingly, dismissed Hillary's statement as being a mere accidental misspeak due to Hillary being "fatigued". (Remember Hillary's TuslaGate "misspeak"? Wasn't that also supposedly due to "fatigue"?)

Well, Mark Shields would have none of that "fatigue" crap.

Clinton Adviser Claims Indiana Slur Video Is Conspiracy

"I've never used that word in my entire life, ever, under any circumstance, ever," an angry Kantor told The Huffington Post, citing his and his parent's work fighting for civil rights. "I have listened to [the video] and so have you. You can't tell what it is I'm saying in that second sentence, you can't decipher that."

The sound suggests, if anything, that instead of saying "How would you like to be a worthless white n****r?" Kantor says, "How would you like to be in the White House right now?"

Uh huh.

Thank you George Orwell.

With his no-nonsense smackdown of Wright yesterday, Obama has finally done what Obama needed to do to improve his appeal with more lunch-bucket Dems, white voters, independents, and disaffected repubs, more than Obama had been appealing to prior to yesterday.

This is because when Obama smackdowned Wright yesterday, Obama was finally able to frame himself to those constituencies as being not a "black" candidate, but as being an American candidate (meaning, a candidate for all American constituencies, and not just a candidate for black Americans), something which Obama had not definitively done until yesterday.

Hillary & Billary desperately wanted to keep Obama framed and pidgeon-holed as the "black" candidate, as they have been trying to do all campaign season, but Hillary & Billary lost bigtime yesterday.
