The America They Want...

According to new party chairman Howard Dean, the Republicans "Know the America they want, and they are not afraid to use any means to get there." However, Chairman Dean does feel there are some things the Republicans are afraid of, namely, "It is that we may actually begin fighting for what we believe."

It is refreshing to hear the Party Chairman, after a tough defeat only 90 days old, speaking with such conviction, and strength. What's vital to the Democratic effort in 2006 and 2008 is maintaining the support for John Kerry's 2004 campaign. A grass roots effort to create a base that will counteract the Republican Bible Toting base has to start now, and it has to take advantage of what Howard Dean did in the Democratic Primary.

Issues are the issue, and the Democrats are going to be rewarded for their continued moderation as the Republican Party takes a polarizing position on many of the issues. If the democrats can emerge as the party of Moderates, then true political success can be realized. It is in moderation that successful, responsible government can be achieved. Ideologues are dangerous, and that is just as true on the left as on the right.

John Kerry spouted off today to the press about how the country would be better served to have elected him president. Perhaps he is right, but that is no longer a discussion we need to have. What we need to do (and Kerry is doing) is take the initiatives we developed last year, and push them through the congress. The only thing that can save this country from a slide into disarray is a strong minority voice in the legislature.

I heard today, as I was getting ready for work, that the GOP in the Senate intends to draft new rules to do away with the filibuster, in an attempt to push thru right-wing activist judges that failed appointment in the first Bush term. What a thought. The party that screamed abuse for 60+ years as the minority party has figured out exactly how to get even...Take those actions and expand them, that will teach those treasonous Democrats.

I am at a loss, no words are flowing. Perhaps I should just stop writing.

I am still doing my research for the 2005 MLB preview, as well as the 2008 Presidential Candidates, I'll get those up ASAP!
