As a Texan, I've been embarrassed that George W. Bush calls Texas his home state.
However, I am proud of Texas for having the might and the wherewithall to help put an end to Warren Jeffs' reign of terror over the lives of so many innocent women and children.
I'm very proud of you for being the spokeswoman for those women still too weak and brainwashed to speak for themselves.
When you tesitified against Jeffs, it reminded me of the scene in the Wizard of Oz when the wizard was exposed as a weak little man without any true power.
You, my dear, turned out to be the true wizard in this story.

Saudi Arabia has owned Bush ever since he asked his daddy for money to start Arbusto Oil, was refused, and lil' Bush got the money instead from the Saudis.

It's people like you who have enabled a bunch of draft dodgers like Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, ad nauseam to use our troops like tin soldiers for their own personal gain and amusement.
John Kerry, unlike Bush, was a decorated Vietnam war veteran who earned the right to opine on that war. This is not Russia or Saudi Arabia; we have the constitutional right to freedom of speech.
Wrapping yourself in the flag and weeping over slights you think you heard are not excused by your status as a veteran.
Kindly wake up, rinse out your ears and realize that Olbermann's statement represents a hell of a lot more than "half of the USA today."

I love New Orleans, so it was only proper that my middle aged siblings and I spent our stimulous checks on a long weekend there last week.
After spending literally thousands of dollars on accommodations, shopping, eating, gambling and tipping, we thought we'd drive through the lower 9th Ward before leaving NOLA to pay our respects and observe the damage for ourselves.
Alas, as the driver of the minivan we rented for the trip, I was the victim of a scam artist who caused a fender bender between our vehicle and his truck filled with people.
My insurance company has informed me that all 7 passengers in his truck (yes, there were 7 people in one truck) have made claims that they were injured- even though they all were unscratched, ambulatory and reported no injuries at the scene.
This sham of an event has left me bitter and unwilling ever to return to New Orleans, or even Louisiana.
This phony insurance scam will end up costing me and my insurance company thousands of dollars.
Imagine how much that money could have helped the entire community rather than just a few greedy creeps?
When victims develop a sense of entitlement that leads them to commit criminal acts against well-meaning people, they damage their own psyches and become perpetrators rather than victims.
Folks, if you want to help NOLA and the region damaged by Katrina, send checks.
I wouldn't advise paying one's respects in person, however. That's a sucker's game. posted 05/15/2008 at 10:25:24

Like so many neo-con robots, you choose to focus on minutia to distract from major issues.
The fact that Rev. Wright is a bit of a nut-job does not diminish the fact that Hagee's message of hatred and intolerance via his tele-ministry reaches far more millions of impressionable, paranoid, so-called Christians than Wright has ever dreamed of.
McCain's alliance with Hagee is a major problem because Hagee is one of the most hateful lunatics on the American Christian scene.
If McCain is choosing to overlook Hagee's radical agenda of hatred and intolerance, that's a hell of a lot bigger problem than Wright telling Obama he may kiss the bride.
Wise up, before it's too late. posted 05/04/2008 at 10:43:49

His followers may think they are serving Christ by aligning with Hagee, but they are lemmings for his barely hidden agenda.
Hagee is the perfect symbol of how a fascist government enlists the clergy to assist them in suckering ignorant, paranoid people into believing that war is peace, evil is good and Americans are better than everyone else in the world, therefore we are the deciders.

Most of us who read and comment at HuffPo understand that Rev. Wright's bombastic style and the substance of his messages are merely theatrical and designed to inspire and fire up his congregation.
It's not HuffPo readers I worry about. It's the millions of Reagan Democrats who were looking for any excuse to step away from voting for Sen. Obama and somehow will justify their thinly veiled, latent racism by making Wright into a bigger bogeyman than he actually is.
If I were a Black American, I'd be mad as hell about America's racism and I think I'd look for a preacher who reflected that anger.
As a woman, however, I am mad as hell about America's sexism and I deeply resent hearing misogynistic, hateful comments about Hillary Clinton.
For so-called Democrats to ignore Hillary's historically liberal and/or progressive bonafides and suddenly start lumping her in with the neo-cons to me is the epitome of political ignorance.
When the GOP sees we are united in our disgust toward them, rather than watching us bitchslap one another over Obama vs. Clinton, then we can make some progress.

While I find myself agreeing with a lot of what Rev. Wright has to say, I know the same people who voted twice for an idiot like George Bush will seize this as an opportunity to discredit Obama by virtue of his 20+ years of proximity to Wright and his message of divisiveness.
To wit, Wright's ego and desire for national media attention has trumped his loyalty to a parishioner who's suddenly far more famous than he.
I admired Obama's speech a few months ago, in which he refused to throw Wright under the bus.
Now comes today and Obama has driven that same bus right over Wright's body.
I like Obama, but even stupid people will see today's denouncement of Wright as political expediency.
Obama should have seized this latest Wright problem and reiterated the same statement he made before. Taking the high road WOULD HAVE BEEN exhibiting fresh new politics, but Like Rev. Wright said, Obama just did what all politicians do. posted 04/29/2008 at 18:29:58

It's really very simple.
When a media outlet shows an obvious bias or agenda that fails to serve the needs of its readers or viewers, we as a people must refuse to watch or read, and treat those who do with snickering disdain.
Like leisure suits, when a trend becomes a laughingstock (like Fox News), eventually those who once embraced it will abandon it out of a desire not to be ridiculed or thought to be out of step with others.
We all know the media culprits who have whored themselves out.
Like recalcitrant children who keep kicking the table leg to get attention, ignoring them will eventually cause them to stop the bad behavior and seek other means by which to get attention.
We should all take the time several times a year to contact the advertisers who support their biased tripe and threaten to stop using their products or services unless they cease to endorse these clowns with their ad dollars.

I think, after enduring the last seven years of Bush, we voters no longer turn to the MSM to help us shape our views of GOP candidates.
Bush has fucked things up so much and McCain has failed to distance himself from him.
What more do we need to know? posted 04/07/2008 at 08:49:26
I think if Hillary was elected, she might want to lead the charge in indicting the Bush Klan, but Obama may be a little too mellow to do anything about it.
I'd much prefer the Bush criminals be aprehended abroad and tried in a foreign country.
The thought of Bush in a French prison, for example, thrills me. posted 04/07/2008 at 08:37:57
Here's the deal. If every Democrat here who writes, reads or comments on entries will send the Democratic nominee only $20, that's a great start.
We need to out-advertise the GOP, out billboard and poster them, out bumper sticker them and basically smother Walnuts McCain's message at every turn.
McCain is a rageoholic. Exploit that.
McCain called his wife a cunt. Exploit that.
McCain wants a hundred-year war. Exploit that.
Mc Cain hides his unattractive adopted daughter from view. Exploit that.
McCain is 72. Exploit that.
Democrats like Kerry and Gore were far too polite when they ran.
The GOP will do ANYTHING to win.
So must we. posted 04/13/2008 at 09:54:46
It's very refreshing to read how so many Democrats like McCain as a human being but cannot vote for him because he's just another Republican warmonger.
I wish I could be so magnanimous, but I don't like McCain as a human being.
I believe America has endured enough multimillionaire Republicans who have no empathy for the common people. Adding an old, grouchy, disabled Republican to the list of bad presidents is not what America needs. posted 04/07/2008 at 08:57:35
First they bitch that Hillary hadn't released her tax info, then they bitch to learn she's rich.
What the fuck is wrong with everyone? Don't they know ALL ex-presidents get filthy rich after they leave office?
The naivety shown by so many commenters here tells me they are very new to politics.
And rather than listen and learn, they jump right into the deep end with their brand new opinions. posted 04/05/2008 at 10:11:02
I may be white, but I recognize a honky old bastard when I see one.
I'm glad they booed him.
He wants to court Black votes, then after that they can go screw themselves in his book.
BOO!!! posted 04/04/2008 at 14:50:17
What a bunch of bitchy comments about Hillary,
It's like eavesdropping in a junior high girls' bathroom.
I thought this entry was entertaining and thought provoking- but then Hillary doesn't have a decent jump shot like Obama so she must be, like, you know, a total loser.
I like Obama, but he's inspired legions of the most insipid, sophomoric followers in American history.
The proof is in the comments section of any blog.
Grow the fuck up, kiddies. posted 04/04/2008 at 10:54:26
Had you seen the interview, you'd have learned that the couple wanted to tell their story themselves, not let the scandal hungry media make up the details and turn it into a circus.
You're entitled to your opinion, just as we are entitled to discount anyone who would call people 'freaks" or 'media whores' without taking the time to wonder why they stepped up. posted 04/04/2008 at 10:43:11

Hillary made a mistake in her memory, just like we all do.
If this is the biggest piece of crap people can throw at her, she's in good shape.
Why don't we ask Mrs. McCain or Mrs. Obama how their trips to Bosnia went? Oh, that's right, they haven't been to Bosnia.

Reaganright- just your screen name enough tells us how out of touch you are.
If, like George W. Bush, you aren't convinced that our planet is desperately in need of support against human polluters, then please take your ignorance elsewhere.
I'm sure there are thousands of right-wing blogsites where you can opine without dissent.
Oh, and Reagan is dead. Get over it. posted 03/31/2008 at 09:59:55

I think one of the major thing we voters can do to overcome McCain's insane run for the presidency is to donate as much as we can to whichever Democrat wins our nomination.
McCain is not collecting the staggering amounts of money that Bush did from corporate America, the neo-cons and the so-called Christians. We as individuals can take advantage of that disadvantage.
I plan to put my money where my mouth is this year.
Just think- if every registered Democrat donated just $20 to our candidate, he or she would be able to blitz Americans with enough ads and events to totally discredit Flip-Flop McCain. posted 03/31/2008 at 09:53:44
Remember the good old days, when the Democratic nominee was decided at the national convention? Obama's Claymates WANT THEIR OBAMA NOW!!!

Oh, swell.
Bush hasn't done one thing right since he's been in office and now he's "looking into the mortgage crisis."
The best solution for the mortgage crisis is to get rid of these GOP criminals in office and keep them out.
How I wish Bush would go back to his dirt ranch in Crawford for the rest of his term in office and leave America the hell alone. He's already fucked things up enough. posted 03/29/2008 at 11:05:37
For those of you who just got interested in Democratic politics a few minutes ago, please allow this 54-year-old Yellow Dog Democrat to explain something .
Traditionally, the Democratic nominee for president is selected during the Democratic National Convention.
Now, I realize the Gen X, Y and Z's are impatient to make Obama their candidate, but that's not how things work, and wishing won't make it so.
Furthermore, unless you've marched against a war, battled in the streets for a woman's right to choose, fought for passage of the equal rights amendment and marched for civil rights- please do not opine that Hillary has set back women's rights in any way, shape or form.
Women like Hillary did all the above and then some, so kindly save your claims she has somehow diminished women's rights.
She's absolutely right not to quit, whether Obama's Claymates like it or not. posted 03/29/2008 at 11:01:01
Peggy Noonan's photo with the Fox News logo in the background sums it up.
She's just as full of shit as Ann Coulter, except she couches her ignorant right-wing spew in more civilized tones.
Furthermore, if McCain thought back on his travels 12 years ago and mispoke about ground conditions in some war-torn shithole, Fox News would ignore the incorrect details and laud him for braving the dangers of Bosnia.
Like the GOP, I hope people like Noonan and "news" outlets like Fox News quickly fade into history- regarded as silly anachronisms. posted 03/29/2008 at 11:29:01
How I wish I could duct tape Bush and Dick Cheney into stiff lawnchairs with their eyes taped open and force them to watch a continuous loop of StopLoss until they vomited all over themselves.
These draft-dodging clowns think nothing of using our precious troops as glorified toy soldiers so their cronies and families could get even richer off the blood of our troops.
There has to be a special section of Hell for people like Bush and Dick. posted 03/29/2008 at 11:34:33
Dr. Dean is absolutely right.
Neither Hillary's side nor Obama's side are without blame, but Obama's fans have called Hillary everything from a C-word to a common criminal, with particular vitriol.
While I am a Hillary supporter, I think Obama is an excellent second choice whom I will gladly support.
I may have made comments that compare their differences with Hillary getting the edge, but I consider maligning Obama to be giving ammo to the GOP.
Look inside your Democratic selves, please, and comment accordingly.
If you hate Obama, don't be an asshole about it.
If you hate Hillary, don't be an asshole about it.
If you hate McCain and the GOP, please come sit next to me. :) posted 03/28/2008 at 11:11:51
The fact that this question has to be posed proves that Fox News has an obvious bias toward the Bush administration and the GOP.
When the American electorate throws the GOP out of office, Fox will have to concentrate on smearing the incumbents. Viewers may like that kind of crap, but they will have to tune into other news outlets to actually get the news straight and unvarnished.
Fox News is a lot like old program "The Gong Show," where really ridiculous acts appeared, hoping not to get the gong. It appealed to the voyeuristic audience that took joy in watching individuals they judged to be inferior to themselves.
Like "The Gong Show," Fox News viewers will eventually tire of the propaganda and absurd bias.
It's been a fad for the stupid people who believed in George W. Bush and his allies.
Fads eventually become objects of scorn and ridicule. posted 03/28/2008 at 11:21:56
They won't define success because they don't want us to know that success for them means more money for Halliburton, more money for defense contractors like Blackwater, more money for American petroleum companies and more money for Bush's owners, the Saudis. posted 03/29/2008 at 11:13:33
However, I am proud of Texas for having the might and the wherewithall to help put an end to Warren Jeffs' reign of terror over the lives of so many innocent women and children.
I'm very proud of you for being the spokeswoman for those women still too weak and brainwashed to speak for themselves.
When you tesitified against Jeffs, it reminded me of the scene in the Wizard of Oz when the wizard was exposed as a weak little man without any true power.
You, my dear, turned out to be the true wizard in this story.
May God continue to bless you and your family. posted 05/17/2008 at 12:08:23
