I’m so tired of Dem apologists and excuse makers who drag out the FEAR card (every “election” cycle) by using the Supreme Court argument in this case as a top reason to vote for Bush-accomplice Walk on Water Obama and Biden.

And when they do so I remind them that the Bush-accomplice DEMS gave us “Unitary Executive” Alito and Roberts. They were NOT required to vote for Alito and Roberts but the Dems said they wanted to keep their powder dry. So the Dems helped their close friends the Repugs seat Alito and Roberts on the Supreme Court. Despicable.

Does anyone really think that Obama or McCain would nominate a “progressive” or “liberal” to the Supreme Court? Ha! And does anyone truly think that the rabid Bush-accomplice Senate would confirm a “progressive” or “liberal” to the Supreme Court? Ha!

So one can flush that “what about the Supreme court?” argument down the toilet where it belong. It’s bullshit based on the Bush-accomplice Dems’ history and voting record since 2000.

As Martha says, can we have articles about Nader/Gonzalez and McKinney/Clemente. I’m not criticizing DV…but on other so-called “progressive” sites I’m so sick of hearing about Palin and McCain. There’s been wall-to-wall saturation of these two pieces of trash for weeks and weeks now. It seems that most so-called “liberal” or “progressive” websites (I’m not necessarily referring to DV) and gas bag talk show hosts (from what I hear) have decided to saturate with Palin and McCain rather than talk much about their own pathetic candidates, Bush-accomplices Walk on Water Obama and Biden. Frankly, I’m sick of hearing about all 4 of them. Ugh.

I’m really tired of the men who ‘remember’ abortion right before the election. I’m not talking about Timber who, as usual, had something worth sharing. I’m talking about this former Working For Change (Democratic front group) columnist (who may still write for them). This is my third election cycle for Berko. And I notice that abortion is a really important issue that he has to devote a column too right before each presidential election.
Barack’s comments on abortion last night were appalling and he’s not going to ’save’ reproductive rights. I didn’t buy that nonsense when Gloria Steinem and Robin Morgan tried to sell it. I surely won’t buy it from Berko.
Can we get some articles on Ralph Nader and Cynthia McKinney? They do have a debate this Sunday. Ralph’s calling out Wall Street this afternoon in New York.
I know the Democrats are desperate and that they feel need to write columns like Berko, but I’d be more interested in reading about Chuck Baldwin (who I won’t vote for, but if you are, more power to you) than in another Democrat who thinks he or she can try to fool the DV readers and usually with scare tactics at that.

Women who oppose choice for themselves when it comes to reproduction don’t know or care anything about “freedom.” For them, freedom must mean the ability to drive an SUV to the mall, and likewise, I think their children are just part of the script written for them by the church, their husbands, and the marketplace; they’re fashion accessories giving false meaning to an empty life. Being such an integral part of a codependent, rudderless existence for their mothers, babies naturally assume a central role and importance in the adopted political views of the mothers and fathers, and any suggestion that a fetus might be other than sacred becomes near-blasphemy.

I can say, though, that there are plenty of conservative Democrats who are pro-life, anti-gay, anti-labor, and don’t give a rat’s ass about peace or the environment who will vote for Obama simply because he will be the first black American president. Their vote will NOT be evidence of America’s progressive spirit, just that even an evangelical or fundamentalist can sometimes set aside their religious hysteria long enough to engage in celebrity worship.
