When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

I think John Kerry and John Edwards are a winning combination; George Bush and companay are a losing combination. Democrats have never been more strongly opposed to an incumbent, more certain they will swallow any doubts they may have and support a nominee.
So the election is the Democratic National Committee's to lose. Theye have a history of acting like slugs. They have been WAAAY behind the American people, especially the online people, in objecting to Bush's high-handed assumption of power. About half way into the Bush presidency someone down there caught onto the incredible rage building among Democrats around the country -- expecially those online who had access to more than one news source and the shared opinions of like-minded folks . Pretty soon, nearly every email sent out by MoveOn.org, reporting some new outrage, would be trailed in a few days or a week by a similar one from the DNC. They were a day late and a dollar short, in my book. In this economcy, who has extra money to fling around? such contributions as I sent went elsewhere.
The DNC is already hard at work to lose this election with their bumbling. OK, maybe I am wrong -- if so, somone please point out what I'm missing-- but isn't there a problem with my getting letters (both snail and email) from John Kerry asking for a donation that carries a notice at the bottom saying not only that the letter was funded by the DNC, but also "This communication is not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee."
