Being Liberal and a Progressive in a RED STATE is not an easy thing these days. I started this blog to vent my frustrations on our lives being taken over by right wing conservatives with their propaganda machines. I have also learned an important lesson in the last year, it is that reading is the only way to get real information, you cannot depend on the news you see on TV.

More Republican Values

A comment on My Cindy McCain story:

Hey Prog Bitch: Fuck you and LEAVE the red state!! We don't WANT your fucking ass here anymore!!

Got that BITCH?

And quit trying to shove YOUR values doen MY throat unless you want the second US civil war to begin TODAY.

Now granted this is probably a 12 year whose Mommy should be washing their mouth out with soap, but if this is seriously an adult it just proves my point again about Republican values, they have none!

My Middle Name is Hussein

What a cool idea, this was an email to Andrew Sullivan:

Recall how football players shave their heads in solidarity with a teammate who's going through chemo? What the Democrats need to do, should Obama become the nominee, is to use Hussein as their adopted middle names. Ted Hussein Kennedy. Nancy Hussein Pelosi. Hillary Hussein Clinton. (Well, maybe not.) And his supporters, too. This is something that can easily go viral and backfire on the far right big-time.

Cindy McCain Patriotic Adulteress

Cindy McCain went after Michelle Obama yesterday for what she said about being proud of her country for the first time, what a joke.

Cindy McCain had an adulterous affair with John McCain during his marriage to his first wife. I wonder how proud her country, her parents, her kids are of her?

She also was addicted to prescription narcotics and even stole hard drugs from a medical charity that she ran.

I just love those good old REPUBLICAN family values.

Get Out and Vote Today and Make History


If you live in one of the Feb. 5th primary states, get out and vote today. Just think how you can be a part of history. Who would have thought ten years ago we would have the choice between a woman and an African American. It really is an historic primary.

I am voting for Barack Obama, but whoever it is you believe will be the best president make sure you vote today.

A President Like My Father

Caroline Kennedy endorses Obama:

A President Like My Father

I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.

Open Letter to Bill Clinton

Dear Bubba,

I have always been among those who are your most loyal fans and defenders. Through it all, up to and including Monica, I have never wavered in my loyalty and support for you and Hillary.

I am now an Obama backer, but also a Yellow Dog Democrat who would stand behind whomever is the nominee of our party. I really, really want to win this year and personally think that Barack Obama would be hard to beat. I have a twenty year old son who has known no other presidential names besides Bush and Clinton and the Dynastic concern of two last names running America for thirty years just doesn’t seem right in an American Democracy. But if Hillary was the nominee of our party, I would not have hesitated for a moment to vote for her in November.

Now I am not so sure. I have watched your vicious attacks on Barack, your angry tirades (really not befitting a former President), your supporters putting out racial overtones against him, making sure everyone knows his middle name is Hussein and that he used drugs as a teen. I am taken aback at the dirty tricks you and your wife are using in this campaign and since I didn’t follow politics in the 1990’s as I do now, have to wonder if some of what Fox News says about you has some truth to it.

All I can ask of you is to please, please, stop this nonsense. I speak for not only myself but many others who are watching this awful, horrible spectacle of a President we all loved who is using the dirty politics of the Republican Party, Karl Rove, and the talking points of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and other right leaning pundits that was aimed at you, Gore and McCain for many, many years.

If this continues, and your wife is the nominee of our party, I will not vote in November. Reading what many bloggers are saying I know that there are others out there that agree with me. Just Stop it. Let your wife win on her policies, personality and Presidential qualifications. If that is the case, she might win, if not many of us loyal Dems will refuse to vote.

File this under -- "you've Got to be Kidding"

Official Repub Convention Logo, I love the "Wide Stance" of Mr. Elephant:



From Daily Kos:

And yes, this is real, not an extremely clever photoshop job, and truly encapsulates what the Republican Party is all about.

Wide stance? Check.

In Minneapolis? Check.

Prison stripe-wearing? Check.

Starry eyed? Check.

As for the elephant humping the "2008"...

Are they going for a "Still screwing the country in 2008" theme, or is it a reference to hypocritical adulterers like David Vitter and just about the entire Republican presidential field?

All of the above? Check!

Apparently they ran out of space for a collapsing bridge.

Phony Soldier

Wes Clark says email windbag comedian, fat, druggie Rush Limbaugh:

Dear Bluegal,

Rush Limbaugh recently labeled all Iraq veterans who want a change of direction in Iraq as "phony soldiers." But will he say this to Iraq war veteran Jon Soltz's face?

Email Limbaugh and urge him to invite Jon Soltz to his radio show!

You've heard a number of times from Jon Soltz of VoteVets.org. Do you consider him a phony soldier?

According to Rush Limbaugh, Jon Soltz, an Iraq war veteran, is a phony soldier. Today, Media Matters reports that Rush Limbaugh said that those troops who come home and want to get America out of the middle of the religious civil war in Iraq are "phony soldiers."1

The question is, would Rush make these outrageous and offensive comments to Jon's face?

Take action now. Email Rush Limbaugh and urge him to invite Jon Soltz onto his radio show!

Rush Limbaugh has never worn the uniform in his life, yet he's got the moral standing to pass judgment on the men and women who risked their lives for this nation?

Polls have shown that the majority of troops on the ground in Iraq, and those who have returned, do not back the President's failed policy.

Does Rush believe, then, that the majority of the US Armed Forces are "phony?"

Major Generals John Batiste and Paul Eaton left the military and have spoken out against the Bush Administration's failed policies. These are former commanders in Iraq, and they have challenged the Administration for its stubborn refusal to listen to those commanders on the ground who have sent up warning after warning.

Does Rush believe that highly decorated Major Generals are "phony soldiers?"

Finally, recall the members of the 82nd Airborne in Iraq who wrote a New York Times op-ed, urging for a change in course in Iraq, and suggesting it was time to figure out the exit strategy. Two of them just died.

Does Rush believe these young troops are "phony soldiers?"

My challenge to you is to force Rush to invite Jon Soltz onto his show and say all of this again, right to the face of someone who served in Iraq.

Click here to email Rush now!

Democracy demands discussion, disagreement, and dissent. It is the natural expression of our freedom. To dishonor the service of our troops because they have a different viewpoint is unconscionable. Thank you for speaking out.

Sincerely,
Wes Clark

Dear Karl Rove


Good-bye;

I was about to write some really mean things like, "good riddance to bad rubbish" or "don't let the door hit you in the butt" when it occurred to me that I really shouldn’t be that harsh towards you. Especially because most of your legacy will be a good thing for the Democratic Party, but it comes at too high a price to feel happy about.

You leave behind a conservative movement that is shattered and discredited. Your ambition for a permanent Republican majority has turned into what will hopefully be a generational shift to the Democrats. I guess lying, cheating and breaking the law doesn’t always get you what you want.

You have managed to divide us into blues and reds more so than anytime in American history since the Civil War. You have poisoned our politics with religion and religion with politics. You have misused and abused and trashed our Constitution and turned the executive branch into the only branch of our government.

Your use of the F-word over and over and over again is the only weapon you have to keep us from protesting that our liberties are being taken away one by one. Just throw a little bit of FEAR out there and you know what happens. You’re a smart guy, right? Isn’t that how you got your boy re-elected in 2004?

Your dream of having served a wartime president who would be as revered someday as Abraham Lincoln is about as fractured as the country you helped to invade. Against all the advice of those who actually knew the consequences of the invasion you and your boss did it anyway. But it was just too tempting wasn’t it, oh the history, the books that would be written (and your name would be in them). Your guy would be the one who would bring democracy throughout the Middle East, even though you were told it couldn’t be done. It is almost mind numbing to think of the cost in blood and treasure.

And so boy genius, architect, turd blossom, brain of the worst president in the history of America, I have always wanted to ask you this: “Can you actually sleep at night?”

Not a Big Fan
