2UeyV6qGcK8 Great statement and she is one of the two people who I named as future POTUS - the other one is Edward Snowden who was just made a Russian citizen. Curious to see what this will involve into. She didn't join the Republican party as it looks.

This is a continuation from Part III The split point is, as always, arbitrary and participants are free to quote from the previous thread(s). What Constitutional procedure? The C only says that the Senate gives advice and consent; the details of that are completely in the hands of the...

As most of us have heard, Democratic Party leaders are getting very worried. In fact, establishment leaders interviewed by the New York Times say they are willing to risk intraparty damage to stop Bernie Sanders. To be more specific, if Sanders arrives at the convention in July without a...

AOC declares the Democratic Party "center-conservative" with strong words against her Democratic Party bosses who have been demanding she pay her dues. Background In March 2019, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) announced that it would no longer work with consultants who...

This is a continuation from Part II. The split point is, as always, arbitrary and participants are free to quote from the previous thread(s). I don't recall saying she's more so than other politicians. She's certainly enough so to earn her my enmity. She was always too close to the big banks...

Does it worry you he's thrown his hat in? Are you trying to influence me to lose respect for him? It's a given he won't be your candidate. Thread is a continuation from here. You may quote or reply to any of the posts from that part here.

I asked in another thread if the Democratic Party has actually been drifting to the right as many have alleged. Not really wanting a derail I figured we could discuss that here. Is the current Democratic Party to the right on its policy positions from the 80's/90's? Personally I think they...

GOP unfavorability up 7 points since June, 14 points since March. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/354027-poll-gops-popularity-is-in-freefall

I don't see a dedicated thread on this yet, although obviously the topic has come up in other threads quite often. For starters, I'm going to use Wikipedia's list and update where it seems appropriate. There are four key criteria, the satisfaction of any of which qualifies a person for...

We are starting to see the first signs of a new generation of Democratic leaders tentatively step forward and try to put the mess that the party is in back into some sort of order. Democrats such as Tim Ryan (no relation to Paul, AFAIK) and Jason Kander are young, articulate and definitely not...

Really? It's worked out so well for the Dems since she's been in the leadership. I'm a Dem and this is part of the problem with the party. It takes forever to get new blood. The Repubs change leadership like it's the Reign of Terror and they're winning.

http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/papers_pdf/117717.pdf Just spent a little while reading through the Democrat's Platform. I could have done without all of the "Trump sucks" comments even though it is obvious to the most casual observer that Trump does indeed suck donkey *****. Below are a...

Obama has done plenty... http://www.kcfreepress.com/news/2010/sep/23/what-has-obama-done-us-lately-plenty/ I would like to clarify that our President has not sat on his laurels the last 2 years doing nothing about our problems here in the United States. There is plenty he has done. I don't...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/22/AR2009122203508.html Freshman Rep. Parker Griffith (D-Ala.) switched his affiliation to the Republican Party on Tuesday, saying he could "no longer align myself with a party that continues to pursue legislation that is bad for...

This one is not going to end well for the Democrats. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22439.html

Yesterday: We won't seat Burris. Today: Ok, we will seat Burris. As my dad used to say, spines of jello and balls of mush.

Linky. I, of course, like the opening up of the process, though it is obviously difficult to do for a major party. My problem is that the recommend focusing on a few issues or even just one at a meeting, and looking at the site most of them don't specify what will be discussed. Of course, this...

Americans, What Would You Like to Change About Your (Political) Parties? Alright, I've been an Independent most of my life (before recently changing to Republican), mostly because I'm split on the issues between them (I tend to be socially and economically liberal). Example: Democrats are...

Linky. Woot!

Thank you, Hillary! https://www.democrats.org/page/contribute/joincampaign Barack Hussein Obama is the Democratic nominee for the 2008 U.S. Presidential Elections. I couldn't be more pleased. In fact, I was choking up yesterday thinking about it. America has needed a rebrand in the worst...

I've just come back from my local voting site, having at the last minute changed my mind and voted for Barack Obama instead of Hillary Clinton. I guess there's only one more thing to say now: Barack Obama for President! :D

So, the race has started, the hats are in the ring! Hillary Clinton. This is a bad joke, right? Dems: a hint. Just because Big George got his little boy to become Pres, does NOT make it likelier for Big Bill's little gal to make the White House. One other thing - do you think America is ready...

There is a call in the liberal blogosphere to treat Lieberman as a party outcast by stripping him of his committee assignments in the Senate. It looks like the mandarins of the Senate Dems will line up solidly with Lamont. But will they take the next step and treat him the way he's treating the...
