Washington -- A group of Wisconsinites with disabilities vowed Wednesday to keep protesting the Ryan budget after many of them were arrested this week demonstrating in congressional office buildings.

Now, the difference here obviously is that TEPCO is the result of a natural disaster. The other two were man-made. However, one could argue this too has man-made elements.

But seriously, what is it about energy corporations that make them so insidious? Just curious if t... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/mb7588a/33 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 01:02:55 The Democratic Party of Wisconsin's website crashed under the load tonight.

Murrah Buil... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/mb7588a/30 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 18:20:05 I’ve been having the strangest feelings lately about politics. I worked for John Kerry’s campaign in 2004. I worked for a prominent Democrat for three years who struggled in a Republican-controlled Senate. I left that great job to get a little bit more education under the hood. But, ever since O... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/mb7588a/28 Thu, 19 Mar 2009 02:18:57 For the second debate in smilies, see here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=7372357&mesg_id=7372357

It is NOT November 5th. Barack Obama is NOT our next president. So quit acting like he is.

The true McCain shown through at that moment, more than most of the other notable moments. But that really stuck out to me. Senator, would he not know because he's black? Because he's young? Why?

"Isn't every death in the "War On Terror" questionable?"

Hell, even the deaths on 9/11/01, the inspiration for the U.S. "War On Terror," deserve to be questioned. How could it happen? How did it happen?
