What a great idea. I sincerely hope that Howard Dean is listening.

Seconded! I mean thirdededededit!!!

I fourth that. And if it happens, I'll attend. I wouldn't miss something like that for all the tea in China.

Saving the world from stupidity
One Republican at a time
Since November, 2004

So, once upon a time, there was a liberal media.

the folks at Media Matters have put together an interesting argument for not getting too whipped into a frenzy about articulating specifics yet.

In short, the 1994 landslide repub congressional victory featured candidates running on simply "we hate Clinton and democrats suck" up until the 11th hour, and didn't come out with the Contract With America until Sept. 27, 1994, less than 2 months before the election, and just in time for the final push when the majority of the non political junkies start really paying attention. Not saying this is what we should do, necessarily, but it certainly worked for them not so long ago.

I am not just upset about them being quiet, I want to know if they are still alive. Waiting back and not saying anything about the truly terrible things that are taking place now is not being cautious or careful, it is letting all of America down. We deserve to know that someone who we elected is aware of the disastrous events that are occurring and will act on issues that cannot be allowed to continue. We didn't elect them to be observers. They are the only ones who have the ability to act. I think that being attacked by the likes of Tom DeLay and Pat Robertson should be considered a badge of courage and honor. If the Democrats try to do something morally right and fail,this doesn't diminish the value of what they attempted. My parents always taught me that it is better to have tried and lost, than never to have tried at all. Besides, it also makes the Republicans show their true colors and fill the airways with their lies and stupidity. The fact that a 2006 Convention would require the political MIA's to report for duty is a great idea. I think that it should be held in New Orleans, the city that George Bush tried to drown.

I think this would be a great idea to get the agenda out.

But you know if we do it the Repugs will too and will try to make us look even worse which they are brilliant at doing.

Also heard about the contract for America proposed by the Dems; nothing much in there as far as ending the war. Their major focus I believe is healthcare. Which is great but don't believe it should be considered more important than ending this war.

Hold it in St. Louis, a blue city trapped in a red state. This is also the state where Blount's son is governor. It has something in common with New Orleans because it's on the same river and has French heritage. It also has the second largest Mardi Gras celebration in the United States. King George would really like it. It will be even better if Pujols and the Cards rise from near extinction to beat the Astros,you know the team from the city that has been voted the one we would most like to be exiled to when our government has forgotten us. Just ask Barbara Bush. She has been at home knitting thousands of socks for the disadvantaged. What a peach! It's too bad that I didn't know about Walter's idea when the Democratic Party called to ask for money. I gave them money only after I told the poor guy from Pennsylvania my feelings about the DLC. All kidding aside, we do need to get our team together to strategize. Dennis Kucinich has now even shamed Gephardt into admitting that the war was WRONG from the beginning. Many of us knew that here a long time ago.
