With Bill’s red faced, finger wagging rants demanding that the Democratic Party  "chill out" and "relax"  while never passing up a chance to play the victim by claiming "the boys" are trying "to bully Hillary out of the race". And Hillary’s comparing herself to "Rocky"  with her promise to "never quit and never give up" and vows to "take it all the way to the convention", it’s interesting to take a look back and see what the DLC’s point of view on going all the way to the convention was twenty years ago when another Black man was running for the presidency, Jesse Jackson.

You’ve heard of the term "Triangulation", but do really know what it means? I never completely knew what it meant myself until I read George Stephanopoulos’ book All too human. That’s where I found out there’s more to it than just some fancy way of talking. What it involves is an entire policy procedure. To find out exactly what it means, the best source for its description would be from the man who coined the term himself, Dick Morris.

Few of the President's men were shocked by the transcripts as the senior academic-intellectual members of the Nixon Administration: Arthur F. Burns, the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board; Daniel Patrick Moynihan, ambassador to India and formerly an adviser on domestic policy; George P. Shultz, formerly the President's principal economic counselor. They heard a Richard Nixon they had never been exposed to.

Whatever Nixon's failings, these men had often been impressed by the President's strength, his competence and keenness of his mind. The Nixon of the transcripts was weak, insecure, indecisive, inarticulate, uncomprehending, even incompetent at times.

Seems like whether it's on the streets collecting petitions, or all the way up to the White House, the Republican Party is full of nothing but crooks, crack-heads and ho's. This is how young Karl Rove got his start too.

People registering to vote or signing petitions at Orange County shopping centers are entrusting their personal information to unregulated signature gatherers, some with rap sheets for child molestation, prostitution, methamphetamine use and immigrant smuggling, an Orange County Register investigation found.

Some of these workers also are suspected of falsifying voter registration cards, sparking a rare joint investigation by state law enforcement and election officials. Authorities announced the probe in April after an investigation by the Register found that more than a hundred Orange County registrants were switched to the GOP without their consent.

With the new revelations that George W. Bush gave the orders to "out" CIA agent Valerie Plame in order to "punish" political enemies, one needs to ask the question, " Is the President of the United States the head ratfucker?" To determine the answer to that, one needs to look back at some of the history of the Republican Party.

This case of the arrest of Bush appiontee Brian J. Doyle of U.S. Department of Homeland Security for sex crimes is nothing new. Aren't all those Republicans that way?

Welcome to the moral majority:

That Ten Commandments of "advice" from Republican consultant Frank Luntz to the Democrats for their 2008 presidential primary thread generated a lot of discussion on "electability" a few days ago. I remember how much conflict and turmoil the subject caused during the last Democratic presidential primary at the end of 2003 and in the beginning of 2004. It's easy to see that this debate is still simmering right below the surface and you know the conflict is going to resume and all hell's going to break loose over the subject again during the primary in 2008. When it reaches the point where Democrats start yelling at each other, "Your guy's not electable!" "No, your guy's not electable!", it might be good to understand what role the Republicans play in creating a lot of this.

On Viet Nam, Joe supports the Administration.

"Joe was no student radical, that's for sure," Terry Segal, a Boston lawyer who was also a classmate, said. "He was what was known then as a 'regular.' He was cautious. There were people who wanted the Yale Democrats to take positions on things like Vietnam, but Joe supported the Administration."

Bill Clinton help's Joe.

In 1970, after a short stint at a private law firm, Lieberman decided to put Bailey's lessons to work, and ran for a seat in the state senate, knocking on thousands of doors with a corps of campaign volunteers that included Bill Clinton, then a Yale law student.

Ol' Joe attacks from the left and THE RIGHT.

Lieberman remained behind in the polls until his political consultant, Carter Eskew, designed a series of television advertisements that portrayed Weicker as a cartoon bear, drowsing when he should be working. "We ran at him from the left and the right,"
