Yo! Bush Dogs and Other ‘Democrats’….The Surge is a Failure; Will You Be Too?

August 31, 2007

Here is the chart:

Clik on the graphic for the underlying stats.

Rep. Baird, Rep. Shuler, Madame Speaker this is your fault as much as it is Bush’s and we intend to hound you from office using your rank moral cowardice as a scourge.

Unless….

You Stop the Surge.


‘Bush Dog’ Baird Gets an Earful….The Citizenry has had Enough of Mr. Decider and his tools!

August 29, 2007

Watch as previously happy Democrats give Rep. Baird the word…And the Word is: Get Out of Iraq or we will get you out of Congress!

You know this guy really pisses me off. I guess you can see I am not alone. A primary challenge is already promised for this idiot ‘Bush Dog’. We in the netroots are pushing back and it’s gonna clean out a whole lot of trash that’s accumulated in Congress, yeah I know Baird is a newby I hope he is renting in D.C., Google ‘Bush Dog Democrat’ and whatya get? 900 hits. Two weeks ago? Zero.

This campaign which addresses so many of your complaints about ‘Spineless Dems’ is catching fire! So get with the program and push back against these dangerously deluded fools working for Mr. Nuclear War on your dime.

Oh…almost forgot! Here is Rep. Baird’s contact info. Let him know how you feel about his pathetic spinelessness. And I really don’t are if you are polite. It looks very much as if it’s going to take being hit over the head with the facts to get our representatives to wake up to reality.


Time for something beautiful….

My ‘Modest Suggestion’ as to what the Democrats in the Senate should do with Joey the Liarmann….

August 28, 2007

Since Senator Boxer can’t seem to understand what her ‘Ethics’ Committee should be about…Watch the video for the latest Republican episode in self-hatred.

I suggest we remove Crazy Joey the Liarman from his chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and appoint him the Republican Restroom attendant. From his little stool at the entrance to same he can hand out towels to clean up the mess and counsel Republican Senators on how not to get caught soliciting oral sex there.

Got anything you’d like to tell us Barbara?

The Latest ‘Campaign Confidential’ with A.Citizen Comments Added On.

Clinton volunteer army ramps up in California

They seek absentee votes here before polls open elsewhere

Carla Marinucci, Chronicle Political Writer

Tuesday, August 21, 2007

They call themselves “HillStars,” and they are part of a dedicated campaign army – the “HillCorps.”

And with just more than five months until California’s Feb. 5 presidential primary, the effort by the campaign of New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to organize trained volunteers – 1,000 strong across the state – suggests it is no coincidence that she has amassed a 30-point lead in California over her closest Democratic rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

The Democratic front-runner’s California grassroots organizing effort has been dubbed by Clinton campaign strategists as the “1,000-20-200″ plan. And it will use “the power of the Internet with traditional field methods to create millions of voter contacts leading up to the Feb. 5 primary,” according to a 27-page “HillStar” campaign manual obtained by The Chronicle.

The Clinton campaign strategy in California is noteworthy for its scope and for its target – to help her secure the votes of potentially millions of absentee voters in California’s rich delegate field before Democratic voters in Iowa and New Hampshire ever weigh in at the polls.

“Politics is about the bottom line,” said Averill “Ace” Smith, Clinton’s California campaign manager, who noted that in 2008, “the largest number of votes cast at a relatively early stage” will be in California.

Beginning Jan. 7 – when voters can begin to cast absentee ballots in the state – “we have a 29-day election” that starts before the current Jan. 14 schedule for the Iowa caucus and the Jan. 22 New Hampshire primary, Smith said.

That calls for unprecedented organization and innovation in California to get those voters to the polls, Clinton senior adviser Ann Lewis said in an interview Monday in San Francisco.

For the first serious female presidential candidate, Lewis said, “the power of networks, the growth of social networks, will be the strength of this campaign.”

Presidential candidates are lavishing the lion’s share of money and attention on early primary states such as Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, and some political strategists suggested the efforts by the Clinton campaign to build, train and organize a California bank of 20,000 volunteers is a savvy move. That could help Clinton guard her front-runner status and construct a crucial firewall against Democratic rivals such as Obama and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards – regardless of the results in Iowa and New Hampshire.

“This is classic front-runner’s strategy – pushed to a whole new level,” said GOP consultant Dan Schnur.

Schnur said the late Lee Atwater pursued a similar strategy in 1988 for then-Vice President George H.W. Bush, intended to establish a grassroots network to send a message of overpowering strength – and inevitability – to his rivals.

“An organization like this doesn’t build her lead. It’s designed to protect it,” Schnur said.

Clinton faces challenges in Iowa and New Hampshire from Obama and Edwards, in the weeks before California and other states vote on Feb. 5, and he said such an effort is “a matter of logistics.”

THIS is What a Bush Dog Sounds Like….

August 23, 2007

Tucker is really good at covering his ass also. After all he was never in favor of the war! Interesting that this Dog knows what isĀ  going to happen when we leave. Like his true leader Bush he must be listening to God. I wonder if he knows what is happening RIGHT FUCKING NOW!

Oh, sorry…

‘We need to be very careful about what we do….’ Really?

Nice to see that both this Dog and Tucker are happy to take The Hill at her word. ‘The Surge is Working’. Guess Tucker knows who he likes for President and why.

Good to know that all we need to do is ‘train the Iraqi’s up so we can stand down…’

Gee, that sounds awfully familiar. Oh, yeah….here it is…….

Please take the time to note the date on the linked article.
