Abu Ghraib - The Sequel:  This is the behavior Cheney Defends

                           No surrender

These thugs have outflanked the US military, the justice department, the state department, 
our allies,  responsible voters, and too many well-meaning Americans.

               Jobless Recovery is a net loss...

Real income has declined for most of us during the "recovery"

A new website dedicated to discussion about the Democratic Party's message.
 Let our values, principles, and a unifying vision emerge!

            A message from John Kerry

I've been hearing a lot of talk about what we're up against in the critical 2006 elections as we take on the corrupt, power-abusing, Swift Boat style-attacking Republican Party. 

              Is it OK to kill prisoners?  

Thurgood Marshall said it was racist, unfair to the poor & mentally retarded,
                                 and often ends in the murder of innocents

                 On the thugs

 ...at the white house....

     Class war in America

 US media disinformation  More on Spin

Have you seen this Headline?   Polling Suggests that Americans Love Torture

         Out Republican Lies

"In all, by a decisive margin of 53% to 42%, Americans want Congress to impeach President Bush if he lied about the war in Iraq. That's quite a "progressive" wing. Bush's lies have been well documented.  And a majority of Americans believe he lied."

On torture...

"Anyone who condones torture simultaneously rejects the ideological values that define the United States. Systematically depriving people of their rights by electrocution, rape, or water-boarding contradicts the principles of this country."

Editorial:   Secretary Rice's Rendition 

"It was a sad enough measure of how badly the Bush administration has damaged its moral standing that the secretary of state had to deny that the president condones torture." .... It was even worse that she had a hard time sounding credible when she did it."

How we get out of Iraq with Dignity

"Those who advocate “staying the course” or “internationalizing the war” are digging deeper.  A real solution must end the U.S. occupation. Then, we can talk peace."

Middle East Peace

What lies beneath Israel's political ‘earthquake' this week?   "The depiction of Sharon as a moderate, risking it all to salvage the peace process, along with his more progressive colleagues is a misguided, if not an embarrassing inference, to say the least."

The people of Iraq want us to leave...

"This is not liberation. It is occupation, and we oppose it absolutely. At the beginning of the 21st century, we thought we'd seen the end of colonies, but now we're entering a new era of colonialization."

Staying the course is no longer an option

"There is no longer any basis for the hope that a sustained American military occupation will stabilize Iraq."

A not so Swift tactic...Sliming a Vet  

"The President should finally find the courage to debate the real issue instead of destroying anyone who speaks truth to power  as they see it. It's time for Americans to stand up, fight back, and make it clear it's unacceptable to do this to any leader of any party anywhere in our country." John Kerry

Bush is pulling another Nixon on us

"It took 36 years to confirm that Nixon lied. Do we have to wait another 36 years  to find out whether the Bush administration lied to us too?"

Discussion: Decoding Bush's Denials

"Mr. Bush said last Friday that he welcomed debate, even in a time of war, but that "It is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that war began."
 We agree, but it is Mr. Bush and his team who are rewriting history."

Does Anyone Else Wonder...?

"Will our Congress ever wake up ...?"

The War in Iraq is Over! 

"The US President made a dramatic entry onto an aircraft carrier to declare victory in Iraq."
