Without the compromise, unemployment benefits will be cut for millions. Those are the hostages Obama is saving.

With a Democratic challenge to Obama in 2012,... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/bos1/18 Mon, 13 Dec 2010 20:42:00 Paladino, O'Donnell, Macmahon, Angle, Whitman, Buck, Foley -- they ALL LOST and Miller in Alaska might too.

Where is the celebration of progressive victories?

The success of public opinion to show Dr Laura that her bigotry has consequences was a victory, something to celebrate in the fight against right wing ... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/bos1/13 Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:41:49 Johnny Cash had a song, "Starkville City Jail", about the time he got arrested for picking flowers. In its humble way, it's a protest song about the over-policing of the USA, about how easy it is to get arrested for doing next to nothing.

Two arrests are in the news this week that might have mad... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/bos1/10 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 13:03:17 Imagine the screaming headlines, the 24/7 media coverage, the calls for a military retaliation by Fox News, the condemnation by the US gov't...

I guess I wasn't the only one: the Anti-Defamation League reports that white supremacists, neo-Nazis and anti-Semites have used the Tea Parties in the past, and will vigorously use the next “tea party” rallies... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/bos1/4 Sat, 30 May 2009 04:28:30 The Republican Party is bordering on a vicious, lunatic fringe, but the Democratic Party is showing itself as close to useless.
