"I don't like that man. I must get to know him better."

Sunday morning after the rally, my son and I went on a brief walking tour of DC in great spirits from the day before. On the far side of the mall was the Lincoln Memorial; our last stop before heading for the airport. As we wandered past the strained faces of the marathon runners, I chose some pretty autumn leaves for my Thanksgiving table, and remembered the Halloween I had participated in my first 5K. We chatted and people watched as we strolled, until we came to the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial. Walking past the dark granite with the thousands of names, the thousands of lives, carved into it serves to turn your thoughts inward. It silences you... it makes you contemplative.

How can this be possible? The Republicans have worked for years to support Corporations over citizens. They have eroded our nation’s stability for short term profits.

Republicans have made fairness a bad word.

If you’re a billionaire, you deserve it.
If you’re poor, you deserve it.

What has their ‘re-education’ campaign wrought? People who don’t benefit from Republican policies no longer just sit and nod their heads, they staple teabags to their hats and misspell signs and scream with hatred. The Democrats won't use the Republican tool of message control, fear and anger to direct those emotions where they should be channeled; the powerful Republican billionaire elites.

How can the Democratic party not create and drive home the simple message that the Republican way has brought us down as a nation.

Maybe a simple cause and effect chart could be created that would do the job?

Here Democrats, I’ll start it off for you:

Please, I am so concerned about my children and really need your help. The Republican Governor of Florida, Charlie Crist, probably stuffed full of righteous indignation from his State Party Leader, Jim "Think of the Children!" Greer has planned a massive de-programming campaign kick-off in Hillsborough County and I am scared.

I am optimistic now. Really. If it is true that Obama is set to unveil his 'retooled campaign for his health care overhaul on Labor Day at a massive union picnic in Cincinnati.' then NO WAY is he announcing the death of the Public Option. No way.

The AFL-CIO’s annual Labor Day picnic is the venue. Obama will not risk being booed off the stage on the kickoff of his inserting himself more vigorously into the healthcare debate.

Why would Obama allow staff to anonymously leak information to Politico... and then plan a rollout in the lap of the AFL-CIO?

During the primaries, you inspired me early. I called, on my dime, on my phone, on my time, over 30 states to speak to Primary Voters for you. The number on MyBO never fell below 10.

I set and met my fundraising goal for you. I hosted a fundraising dinner for you, in my home, with my money. We made calls to locate out of state volunteers to travel to where they were needed. I spoke with a professor who, while on the phone with me, arranged for a bus to transport a load of student volunteers for you.

Twice a week, I welcomed between 5-25 people, most strangers, into my home as we dispensed advice and materials and canvassed for you under the hot Florida sun.

So why have I not heeded your constant call to my inbox to volunteer to help for healthcare reform? Let my tell you....

As a BOA customer, I have been stewing since yesterday over this article detailing their participation in an anti-Union conference call. I learned about it from this diary on the Rec List

As a proud USW member, I cannot in good conscience stay with them unless they issue a full apology and retraction. In a big way.

After taking taxpayer dollars - to use that cash - MY MONEY - to donate to Republicans to defeat legislation is beyond disgusting. They need to hear from their customers on this.

The Florida Democratic Party, is beginning a new project meant to embrace the awesome force of the new Obama volunteers into a force for Change which will represent the future of the Democratic Party!

Grateful for having such a dedicated volunteer force willing to work hard for a Democrat, the FDP is wisely moving to bring committed volunteers from both organizations together to change the political face of Florida.

Positive. Committed. What our party needs!

Every so often in Florida, a red tide appears...

Sucking out all the oxygen and leaving our most beautiful treasures trashed and foul smelling; rotting carcasses from once life-filled waters decay in the sun. The simple act of breathing turns into a coughing fit; and your eyes tear up uncontrollably. It is not our natural state.

McCain, circa 2006 derided and mocked American workers for their laziness and unwillingness to work hard when its hot out. Mexican workers, on the other hand, were productive and not afraid to sweat.

McCain, cira election season 2008 sings quite a different tune after publicly proving his mavericky outoftouchedness.

My, how funny it is to watch the snide turn butt-kisser. Fun marraige of his two quotes after the jump:

When talking to moderates and Independents who find themselves impressed with Sarah Palin, might I suggest using a slippery slope?

What follows is a sample of a conversation you might have with someone at work, or in the grocery store, or over dinner:

"I agree, its nice to see a woman, a fresh face on the old codger ticket, but my gosh, she's pretty extreme."

"how is she extreme?"

How is she extreme? Why, let me lay it out after the jump.

They're attempting Purple Band-Aid 2.0 at their convention this year. We knew they would. Class in the conservative world is always spelled with a "k". However, the choice they've made is less anger-inducing and in fact, quite silly and open to satire.

Clever ideas for the use of this item by Republicans spring to mind quite easily. I would like to hear what you think conservatives should do with these (keep it clean!)

Here is one way to turn this thing around on them. What are some others?

This got me thinking about how this cavalier, haughty, high-handed, imperious, self-important, lordly, overweening, pompous, presumptuous, pretentious, supercilious, superior, and uppity statement has largely been ignored by the media.

To refresh your memory:

So I thought I would help them out. If they get a chance, here are some war-winning and war-winning-related queries all laid out for them to choose from:
