May 11, 2006: USA Today revealed that the National Security Agency is collecting phone numbers and calling habits of tens of millions of Americans. These are domestic calls. These numbers are easily traced to individuals. The government is building the world's largest data base of surveillance on regular civilians. This comes just weeks after President Bush assured the nation that the government is not doing exactly what this report proves it is doing. --PMD

ACTION: E-mail the President and demand an explanation: comments@whitehouse.gov, or call the comment line and give 'em an earful: 202-456-1111.

The president of the United States should have not given the Big Oil Companies $8 Billion dollar Tax cut and shoould not have given a tax cut to the wealthy, but the majority of the people that make less than $99,000.00 annually.

Remember this guy?

He isn't in Iraq. Never was. He's in Pakistan or Yeman, probably, right where the cadre of the recent British terror plot was trained.

Check on the War We're Not Fighting.

Here he goes again!

Mission accomplished in Lebanon! George Bush declares Hezbollah defeated, the Israelis victorious and once again the rush to war justified by quick results ... but you might be asking yourself, just what was accomplished here?

Be Change!

Be MORE than silent eyes watching your country lose its way, more than passive ears listening to complicit news media spreading the fear, hate and selfishness of the right wing, more than a voice of fairness stuck on the tip of your tongue.

Oil crisis. Health care. Katrina. A corroding economy. Corruption. Iraq. Iran. Afghanistan. Lebanon. And the GOP?

Gay marriage. Flag Burning. Stem cells. Prayer in schools. Evolution. Mexicans.

In a breathtaking display of desperation, Monkey House Intelligence Committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra, R-Mich along with Sen. Rick "Spooky" Santorum, R-Pa. announced that finally, FINALLY! three years later, the missing weapons of mass destruction have turned up.

Actually, cooked up is more like it.

A new intelligence report referenced an three-year old report of old chemical artillery shells left over and obviously discarded from before the first Gulf War. The new intelligence report left out what the old report said, that they posed no threat to Americans, providing we stayed out from under them and somehow managed not to eat them.

Rural Democrats

Don't it make your red state, don't it make your red state, don't it make your red state ... blue ...

Just because you live in the sticks doesn't mean you have to thump your Bible, toe the line, give up your privacy, live with poisons, join the shooting gallery for a living, or drag your knuckles. You have issues too, and wikiDemocrats wants to hear strategies for taking back rural areas for the Democrats.

Guns
Can it be true? Liberals like guns? Boy, wouldn't it be easier to elect Democrats if we didn't have the city gun issue to battle every fall. When you get down to it, this is why the Republicans control the Senate.

Wal-Mart
Wow, who would have thought you could get filthy, stinking rich wrecking vulnerable rural economies. That Sam Walton, what a guy!

Health Care
Would somebody please tell us what is this health insurance thing?

What We are Not

annika — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 16:13:26 CDT

Yes, Democrats stand for something, and one of those things is that we are proud that we are decidedly NOT Republicans.

Let's talk that, shall we?

Snake Handlers. Bible Thumpers. Theocons.

June 23, 2006 | A photograph of a 2002 golf trip to St. Andrews in Scotland shows, from left in the front row, the lobbyist Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed, David H. Safavian and Representative Bob Ney. A 373-page Congressional report focuses on Ney, revealing potential legal trouble for the Ohio Republican who has become ensnared in a wide-ranging criminal probe of influence peddling. The report also highlights the work of former Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed on behalf of Indian gambling interests.

Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Bill "Falawful" O'Reilly, Sean Hannity ... excellent reverse role models.

Secrets. Shhhh.

GOP Monkey House of Representatives

annika — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 16:10:21 CDT

Richard Pombo, R- CA

Extreme anti-environmentalist and redneck blowhard. Has dedicated his Congressional career to the repeal of the Endangered Species Act and the reversal of laws protecting water and air. Close ties to polluting industries and "Sagebrush Rebellion" type right wing fringe groups. Owned lock, stock and barrel by big oil.

Help Jerry McNerney boot this bum.

Maureen Dowd: 'Air-guitar diplomacy' of Condoleezza Rice RAW STORY
Published: Saturday July 22, 2006 Print This | Email This In her latest column, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd blasts the "air-guitar diplomacy" practiced by Bush's Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in regards to the conflict in Lebanon, RAW STORY has found. "The more W. and his tough, by-any-means-necessary superbabe have tried to tame the Middle East, the more inflamed the Middle East has become," writes Dowd. "Now the secretary of state is leaving, reluctantly and belatedly, to do some shuttle diplomacy that entails little diplomacy and no shuttling," Dowd continues. "It's more like air-guitar diplomacy." Excerpts from Dowd's column:

#

Condi doesn't want to talk to Hezbollah or its sponsors, Syria and Iran -- "Syria knows what it needs to do," she says with asperity -- and she doesn't want a cease-fire. She wants "a sustainable cease-fire," which means she wants to give the Israelis more time to decimate Hezbollah bunkers with the precision-guided bombs that the Bush administration is racing to deliver. "I could have gotten on a plane and rushed over and started shuttling, and it wouldn't have been clear what I was shuttling to do," she said. Keep more civilians from being killed? Or at least keep America from being even more despised in the Middle East and around the globe? Like Davy Jones, the octopus-headed creature who had to keep sailing Flying Dutchman-like without getting to land in the new "Pirates of the Caribbean," Condi had a hard time finding an Arab port in which to dock. .... The cowboy president bet the ranch on Iraq, and that war has made almost any other American action in the Arab world, and any Pax Americana that might have been created there, impossible. It's fitting that Condi is the Flying Dutchman, since Lebanon represents the shipwreck of our Middle East policy.
