Democratic Frenzy

Glenn Beck Has Officially Lost It

2009-04-10T10:03:00.001-07:00

Glenn Beck is a raving lunatic... no wonder he went to Fox... I could get used to four more years of this... The Republican party will be down to single digits if they don't put a leash on this maniac!

This blog was not setup for Bush Bashing....

2009-03-26T13:42:00.000-07:00

Some people have decided that their goal in life is to bash former president Bush...guess what...Obama has a ton of problems and he is still in the very beginning....Democrats...time to take a look in the mirror... Don't you think.

Goodbye Human Cancer!

2009-01-24T10:13:00.000-08:00

Ahh... No more Bush!! Finally change has come to America... 8 years late, but I guess better late then never...

Barack Obama's First Youtube Address

2008-11-15T14:49:00.000-08:00

Barack Obama's First Press Conference

2008-11-08T15:57:00.000-08:00

Barack Obama Elected President Of The United States

2008-11-05T07:49:00.000-08:00

Senator John McCain goes gracefully into the night... One of his best speeches of the campaign in my opinion.

Part two of McCain's speech...

And now here is the next President of the United States, Barack Obama... Let us hope that this change in leadership does put us on a different path not only at home, but all over the world. The last eight years have damaged our image to so many people across the world it will certainly be hard to repair... We have a lot of work to do, but I am confident that as a people we can triumph.

Sarah Palin Is A Heartbeat Away

2008-11-03T16:56:00.000-08:00

Anyone who is seriously considering voting for John McCain needs to see this video before they cast their vote. If he is going to make such a unbelievably horrible pick for Vice President he certainly cannot be trusted to do a good job running the country... Did I mention that he voted with George W. Bush 90% of the time? That in itself should be enough reason. Who ever you vote for just make sure you make it to the polls and vote, because that is the most important part!

Barack Obama On The Daily Show

Keith Olbermann Destroys McCain False Attacks

2008-10-31T22:33:00.000-07:00

John McCain's campaign falls short again with their inaccurate attacks... John McCain, and William Ayers, both gave money to this man Rashid Khalidi.

McCain Stood Up By Joe The Plumber

2008-10-30T21:17:00.000-07:00

The Barrack Obama Anti Semitic

It's always great when talking head like this get put on the spot... In this case a McCain Spokesman Mike Goldfarb.

"Defining Moment"

2008-10-26T14:26:00.000-07:00

This is truly a defining moment in America's history... We can either continue down the same path that Bush has lead us on or we can change... it is a simple as that!

Alaska's Biggest Paper Backs Obama

2008-10-26T09:21:00.001-07:00

Is this just because Sarah Palin failed to mention the Anchorage Daily News as one of the newspaper that she read?

The paper recognized the fact that “for the first time ever, an Alaskan is making a serious bid for national office” and all the attention that comes along with it. But - and a huge but - “it does not overwhelm all other judgment.”

The editors argue that John McCain is “the wrong choice” because of his reaction (or lack thereof) to the economic crisis and his embrace of “the extreme Republican orthodoxy he once resisted” in Karl Rove-style politics.

On the other hand, Barack Obama, they argue, brings promise to the office because he “enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand” on the economy. As for foreign policy - they say the endorsement of Colin Powell should “reassure” Americans that the junior senator is ready to be commander-in-chief.

Obama And McCain On Taxes

2008-10-25T16:28:00.000-07:00

It is actually quite funny that McCain is trying to extend Bush's tax credits for those people making over 250k a year, when in fact he actually opposed it when it was vote for 8 years ago.

This may come as a shock to some of you, but I don't make over 250k a year, but you know what, if I did I wouldn't mind pay just a little more in taxes. After all you are already rich, I don't really see any problem with the tax plan.

Williams on McCain/Palin: NBC 10/23/08

2008-10-23T20:23:00.000-07:00

I added in 20 posts to the main page this way your posts will stay on there much longer... I hope you are happy... You will just have to post more... A suggestion would be to make a republican tag and a democrat tag and then we can sort out the posts from there. We can then put a link on the top one for democratic posts one for republican posts...

Hey dan why did you instantly post over my stuff?

2008-10-23T19:05:00.000-07:00

I left your negative shit up for months with no complaint and I put a few posts on here and you have to instantly post to shove mine down the list.Suppress my opinion.Democratic suppression.Democratic Oppression.Leave my shit alone if you don't want yours messed with!Oh and removing this message is also censorship.

The Difference Between Obama And Palin

2008-10-22T13:33:00.001-07:00

I am sure by now at least some of you heard this little article that surfaced today...

"Since her selection as John McCain's running mate, the Republican National Committee spent more than $150,000 on clothing and make-up for Gov. Sarah Palin, her husband, and even her infant son, it was reported on Tuesday evening."

I am sure Joe Six Pack can relate...

Here is the full article here!

Is She Really That Stupid?

2008-10-22T13:00:00.001-07:00

Actually the answer is yes... She is a creationist that believes man has nothing to do with climate change... Not only this but she believes that rape victim should have to pay for their own rape kit. She is 100% against abortion and has absolutely NO FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE!

Hmm... Sounds like a great choice to be our Vice President... Give me a break McCain you made a huge mistake... who knows you might have even came close if you wouldn't have picked this flake...

O by the way Sarah the donkey is the democrat's symbol not the republican...

You Have Heard Of Joe The Plumber...

2008-10-22T11:36:00.000-07:00

But how about Al The Shoe Salesman? Check out this latest political ad for Barack Obama. Pokes just a little fun at that plumber that is somehow making over $250,000 a year!

Colin Powell Endorses Barack Obama

2008-10-19T14:20:00.001-07:00

On Meet The Press just this morning Colin Powell officially endorsed Barack Obama to be the next President of The United States. One of the reasons that he didn't pick John McCain was the choice of his running mate Sarah Palin. He says that she lacks the experience to potentially become the President. Here is the full video below...

What do you think about what Mr. Colin Powell had to say and how much do you think this will help Barack Obama?

Biden Blast Palin For Anti American Talk

2008-10-18T17:17:00.001-07:00

At a rally in North Carolina Sarah Palin mentioned that she loved to visit the "pro-America" areas of the country. Are you serious? Pro-American parts of the country? We are one nation whether it is a blue state or a red state it doesn't matter! Here is what Senator Joe Biden had to say about Sarah Palin's remarks...

What Paul sees if McCain is voted in...

I'm Afraid...
Don't get me wrong, Obama is not necessarily the answer either.
But we need someone to fight for the people right! Just wait till they are in the actual presidents office though?

(backing out,lies,talk,manufactured,done deal,believe what you hear,is true,don't tell,me it's not real,significant lives lost,no problem to us,don't care if you live or die,little masses of nothing,compared to my large mass of consumption,they feed upon the poor of me then, they try to lie next to me when,to rise amongst the rich we are against,we fail within the others then,only to obey again,and try not to suffer within...)

Not what they may say during the debates, No. That tells me absolutely nothing...

Rather, who has proven to us that they mean business before they get into office?

Pauls answer...
I would not pick either one of them.

Who Won The 3rd And Final Debate?

2008-10-15T19:37:00.000-07:00

Barack Obama vs. John McCain... It was probably the best debate out of the three. The moderator did a much better job. McCain did a better better than normal in the beginning, but Obama stuck to the issues and seemed to come out on top in my opinion. What do you think? Here is the entire 3rd and final debate...

BTW here is the famous Joe the plumber...

Barack Obama Is One Step Ahead Of The Game

2008-10-12T16:21:00.000-07:00

It would seem like America would want a president that is one step ahead of the competition. Listen to what Barack Obama said on July 30, 2008 about what McCain and Palin's political tactics would be in the coming months.

Sarah Palin Ties Obama To Terrorists

2008-10-06T21:35:00.000-07:00

That is a pretty serious accusation.... What does America think?

Leave no man behind....and no state....

2008-10-05T14:34:00.000-07:00

You would think that of all people, former POW John McCain would know that you don't leave anyone behind, especially in order to save your own ass.... Let me state this clearly for everyone...Whoever told Senator McCain to walk away from Michigan and that he wasn't going to win and that he didn't need our vote....cost him the Presidency...and should be promptly fired. John McCain stood for something greater than himself and that was why I was going to vote for him... But he doesn't want my vote. Doesn't care enough to hang around Michigan a couple of days and listen to what we need. They told us he doesn't have enough money and needs to concentrate on the states that matter. How much does it cost to listen John? Damnit! You threw away the Presidency!@#$%@!~~!!!!! Sarah, I know he isn't listening to you...but try harder or come to Michigan without him. As for all you Barrack supporters who are smiling with glee over this disaster let me remind you that the only reason he showed up in Michigan was because McCain was here and he didn't even show for the primary. Leave no man behind.....and no state.

The Full Vice Presidential Debate 2008

2008-10-05T13:38:00.000-07:00

Just in cased you missed it when it aired the other night here is the full video of the Vice Presidential Debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. Let us know what you thought about this spirited debate...

John McCain Pulls Out Of Michigan

2008-10-05T10:40:00.000-07:00

John McCain waved a white flag of surrender as he pulled his campaign out of Michigan. Although he will still run TV ads in Michigan he has all but given up in this important swing state that has 17 electoral votes. What do you think was it the right move?

The Vice Presidential Debate

2008-10-02T19:44:00.001-07:00

Sarah Palin did better than I expected, but only because I thought she was going to fail miserably. Senator Joe Biden did a much better job focusing on the real issues and facts. Didn't it seem funny that a lot of times they both talked like they supported the same tax breaks for the middle class. It is like the Republicans are finally preaching what the Democrats have been saying all along just to get votes... The fact is that no one that makes under $250,000 a year whether is be a individual or a business will receive a tax hike. That sure sounds pretty damn good to me...

Do some research, get the facts and vote for the right Candidate...

Is John McCain a Maverick? Again just a bit of research will till you that John McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time. He even admits this himself.

Here is the final remarks from the Vice Presidential Debate...

Bill Clinton, what a smart man.

2008-09-29T18:04:00.000-07:00

Leave it to a democrat to turn a financial crisis and a time for leadership into partisan politics as usual...the result? 700 point drop on the stock market and 1 trillion dollars lost...in one day...700 billion madame speaker?

ps - cross your fingers on the stock market, if you have been paying attention the cornerstones are failing, and falling...look out below.

2008-09-28T17:10:00.001-07:00

2008-09-15T18:25:00.000-07:00

Here is the latest Obama political ad... It is true that many of the "facts" that McCain puts in his ads are in fact lies. Make sure to do research on both sides before you believe what is said in a political ad...

Keith Olbermann Rips An Unqualified Sarah Palin

2008-09-13T14:46:00.000-07:00

This is the least qualified Vice Presidential pick in the history of our Nation. In these troubling times, is this really the best choice?

What do you think about what Keith Olbermann had to say, should the potential VP of United States be expected to know what the Bush Doctrine is?

Sarah Palin Doesn't Understand What The Bush Doctrine Is

2008-09-11T20:54:00.001-07:00

The was from her FIRST televised interview with the press since accepting the VP role. What can I say Sarah Palin is looking worse with ever passing day... Could she really be any less qualified to help lead our country? Has she been paying any attention to our president since 9/11?

What do you think about what Sarah Palin had to say?

Do The Issues Really Matter In The Election?

2008-09-10T17:25:00.001-07:00

McCain Voted With Bush 90% Of The Time

2008-09-10T15:36:00.000-07:00

This reason alone should be enough to take a long hard look at John McCain. He is preaching "change", but his actions speak much louder than words. Do we want 4 more years of Bush like policies?

A Republican Being Hypocritical?

2008-09-08T16:56:00.001-07:00

2008-08-30T00:15:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure if I should vote for either one...

Obama or McCain?

Until they are in office and then it could be too late. They may prove to be good.
I just can't trust either of them right now.

McCain throws away Presidency

2008-08-29T11:35:00.000-07:00

Need some Dirt on Gore...

2008-08-18T15:47:00.001-07:00

So I know Al Gore is up to no good somewhere, I mean besides the private jet fuel and twenty minutes running the air condition in the driveway in his SUV... Yeah he's a hypocrite, we know it...but what is he really up to? Save the environment you say...NO, his own actions and those of his family prove he does not care about the environment so what is Al Gore's Master Plan? Question of the day and 5 points for a correct answer....

Bill and Hill

2008-08-13T14:26:00.000-07:00

The democrats are starting to sweat as time goes on, thinking - maybe we should have picked Hillary. Obama's elitist, I'm better and smarter than everyone (snobby) attitude continues to alienate voters on both sides of the isle. Of course I used to despise Bill and Hill, but today I'd much rather sit down for a cup of coffee with either one of them than Barrack Obama.

Edwards.....

2008-08-13T14:19:00.000-07:00

So, speaking of Frenzy, how about John Edwards.. Mr. squeaky clean democratic nominee/ vice presidential hopeful caught in a hotel room hiding in the bathroom with his mistress and her baby, by the National Enquirer... Does it get much worse than that? I guess we'll have to see what the paternity test says... Why does it matter? Just think if this news had come out after Barrack picked him for VP. This goes along with the previous post in that, Barrack isn't going to have anyone to pick for VP. Oh he wasn't going to pick Edwards, you say... Sure he wasn't...

Oh and the icing on the cake... Edwards' mistress has been living under an assumed name in a house she didn't pay for after already receiving $100K for making a crappy, and nearly incriminating promotional video that Edwards' staff quickly pulled from his site. He's Done. One down, so many to go. btw- Good Job Enquirer keep up the good work.

Barrack's Reputable Friends

2008-08-13T14:01:00.000-07:00

Everybody has friends, some good, some shady, but it seems all Barrack's friends are shady characters... Am I wrong? Ok, name some of Barrack's Reputable Friends here. Zero replies means Barrack has no reputable friends and this post goes undisputed. Somebody tell me I'm wrong.

Need a good speech from John McCain!

2008-07-28T15:09:00.000-07:00

Nevermind, I'll do it myself...
Ladies and gentlemen, John McCain.

Here is the full speech from both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama from Unity New Hampshire. With a strong united democratic party it will be much harder for Senator McCain to pull off a win in November.

Barack Obama's Victory Speech

2008-06-06T11:00:00.000-07:00

Barack speaks in front of a very happy crowd in St. Paul, Minnesota right after he clinched the Democratic nomination. What do you think about what Barack Obama has to say. It sure would seem as if he has the people fired up, but how much of what he says is just empty promises?

Obama Wins The Democratic Nomination!

2008-06-03T17:00:00.000-07:00

It is official Barack Obama finally has the magic number of delegates and clinches the nomination. This drawn out, but closely contested battle is over! Even though Hillary Clinton managed to win the popular vote she just couldn't win enough delegates for the nomination. I would expect Hilary Clinton to bow out gracefully tonight, who knows she might even get the nod for Vice President. It would seem as if a Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton ticket would be very hard to stop even against Senator John McCain.

An Exclusive To Democratic Frenzy: Barack Obama's Upcoming Victory Speech...

Tonight, after fifty-four hard-fought contests, our primary season has finally come to an end.

Sixteen months have passed since we first stood together on the steps of the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Illinois. Thousands of miles have been traveled. Millions of voices have been heard. And because of what you said -- because you decided that change must come to Washington; because you believed that this year must be different than all the rest; because you chose to listen not to your doubts or your fears but to your greatest hopes and highest aspirations, tonight we mark the end of one historic journey with the beginning of another -- a journey that will bring a new and better day to America. Tonight, I can stand before you and say that I will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.

I want to thank every American who stood with us over the course of this campaign -- through the good days and the bad; from the snows of Cedar Rapids to the sunshine of Sioux Falls. And tonight I also want to thank the men and woman who took this journey with me as fellow candidates for President.

At this defining moment for our nation, we should be proud that our party put forth one of the most talented, qualified field of individuals ever to run for this office. I have not just competed with them as rivals, I have learned from them as friends, as public servants, and as patriots who love America and are willing to work tirelessly to make this country better. They are leaders of this party, and leaders that America will turn to for years to come.

That is particularly true for the candidate who has traveled further on this journey than anyone else. Senator Hillary Clinton has made history in this campaign not just because she's a woman who has done what no woman has done before, but because she's a leader who inspires millions of Americans with her strength, her courage, and her commitment to the causes that brought us here tonight.

We've certainly had our differences over the last sixteen months. But as someone who's shared a stage with her many times, I can tell you that what gets Hillary Clinton up in the morning -- even in the face of tough odds -- is exactly what sent her and Bill Clinton to sign up for their first campaign in Texas all those years ago; what sent her to work at the Children's Defense Fund and made her fight for health care as First Lady; what led her to the United States Senate and fueled her barrier-breaking campaign for the presidency -- an unyielding desire to improve the lives of ordinary Americans, no matter how difficult the fight may be. And you can rest assured that when we finally win the battle for universal health care in this country, she will be central to that victory. When we transform our energy policy and lift our children out of poverty, it will be because she worked to help make it happen. Our party and our country are better off because of her, and I am a better candidate for having had the honor to compete with Hillary Rodham Clinton.

There are those who say that this primary has somehow left us weaker and more divided. Well I say that because of this primary, there are millions of Americans who have cast their ballot for the very first time. There are Independents and Republicans who understand that this election isn't just about the party in charge of Washington, it's about the need to change Washington.Ê There are young people, and African-Americans, and Latinos, and women of all ages who have voted in numbers that have broken records and inspired a nation.

All of you chose to support a candidate you believe in deeply. But at the end of the day, we aren't the reason you came out and waited in lines that stretched block after block to make your voice heard. You didn't do that because of me or Senator Clinton or anyone else. You did it because you know in your hearts that at this moment -- a moment that will define a generation -- we cannot afford to keep doing what we've been doing. We owe our children a better future. We owe our country a better future. And for all those who dream of that future tonight, I say -- let us begin the work together. Let us unite in common effort to chart a new course for America.

In just a few short months, the Republican Party will arrive in St. Paul with a very different agenda. They will come here to nominate John McCain, a man who has served this country heroically. I honor that service, and I respect his many accomplishments, even if he chooses to deny mine. My differences with him are not personal; they are with the policies he has proposed in this campaign.

Because while John McCain can legitimately tout moments of independence from his party in the past, such independence has not been the hallmark of his presidential campaign.

It's not change when John McCain decided to stand with George Bush ninety-five percent of the time, as he did in the Senate last year.

It's not change when he offers four more years of Bush economic policies that have failed to create well-paying jobs, or insure our workers, or help Americans afford the skyrocketing cost of college -- policies that have lowered the real incomes of the average American family, widened the gap between Wall Street and Main Street, and left our children with a mountain of debt.

And it's not change when he promises to continue a policy in Iraq that asks everything of our brave men and women in uniform and nothing of Iraqi politicians -- a policy where all we look for are reasons to stay in Iraq, while we spend billions of dollars a month on a war that isn't making the American people any safer.

So I'll say this -- there are many words to describe John McCain's attempt to pass off his embrace of George Bush's policies as bipartisan and new. But change is not one of them.

Change is a foreign policy that doesn't begin and end with a war that should've never been authorized and never been waged. I won't stand here and pretend that there are many good options left in Iraq, but what's not an option is leaving our troops in that country for the next hundred years -- especially at a time when our military is overstretched, our nation is isolated, and nearly every other threat to America is being ignored.

We must be as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting in - but start leaving we must. It's time for Iraqis to take responsibility for their future. It's time to rebuild our military and give our veterans the care they need and the benefits they deserve when they come home. It's time to refocus our efforts on al Qaeda's leadership and Afghanistan, and rally the world against the common threats of the 21st century -- terrorism and nuclear weapons; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease. That's what change is.

Change is realizing that meeting today's threats requires not just our firepower, but the power of our diplomacy -- tough, direct diplomacy where the President of the United States isn't afraid to let any petty dictator know where America stands and what we stand for. We must once again have the courage and conviction to lead the free world. That is the legacy of Roosevelt, and Truman, and Kennedy. That's what the American people want. That's what change is.

Change is building an economy that rewards not just wealth, but the work and workers who created it. It's understanding that the struggles facing working families can't be solved by spending billions of dollars on more tax breaks for big corporations and wealthy CEOs, but by giving a the middle-class a tax break, and investing in our crumbling infrastructure, and transforming how we use energy, and improving our schools, and renewing our commitment to science and innovation. It's understanding that fiscal responsibility and shared prosperity can go hand-in-hand, as they did when Bill Clinton was President.

John McCain has spent a lot of time talking about trips to Iraq in the last few weeks, but maybe if he spent some time taking trips to the cities and towns that have been hardest hit by this economy -- cities in Michigan, and Ohio, and right here in Minnesota -- he'd understand the kind of change that people are looking for.

Maybe if he went to Iowa and met the student who works the night shift after a full day of class and still can't pay the medical bills for a sister who's ill, he'd understand that she can't afford four more years of a health care plan that only takes care of the healthy and wealthy. She needs us to pass health care plan that guarantees insurance to every American who wants it and brings down premiums for every family who needs it. That's the change we need.

Maybe if he went to Pennsylvania and met the man who lost his job but can't even afford the gas to drive around and look for a new one, he'd understand that we can't afford four more years of our addiction to oil from dictators. That man needs us to pass an energy policy that works with automakers to raise fuel standards, and makes corporations pay for their pollution, and oil companies invest their record profits in a clean energy future -- an energy policy that will create millions of new jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced. That's the change we need.

And maybe if he spent some time in the schools of South Carolina or St. Paul or where he spoke tonight in New Orleans, he'd understand that we can't afford to leave the money behind for No Child Left Behind; that we owe it to our children to invest in early childhood education; to recruit an army of new teachers and give them better pay and more support; to finally decide that in this global economy, the chance to get a college education should not be a privilege for the wealthy few, but the birthright of every American. That's the change we need in America. That's why I'm running for President.

The other side will come here in September and offer a very different set of policies and positions, and that is a debate I look forward to. It is a debate the American people deserve. But what you don't deserve is another election that's governed by fear, and innuendo, and division. What you won't hear from this campaign or this party is the kind of politics that uses religion as a wedge, and patriotism as a bludgeon -- that sees our opponents not as competitors to challenge, but enemies to demonize. Because we may call ourselves Democrats and Republicans, but we are Americans first. We are always Americans first.

Despite what the good Senator from Arizona said tonight, I have seen people of differing views and opinions find common cause many times during my two decades in public life, and I have brought many together myself. I've walked arm-in-arm with community leaders on the South Side of Chicago and watched tensions fade as black, white, and Latino fought together for good jobs and good schools. I've sat across the table from law enforcement and civil rights advocates to reform a criminal justice system that sent thirteen innocent people to death row. And I've worked with friends in the other party to provide more children with health insurance and more working families with a tax break; to curb the spread of nuclear weapons and ensure that the American people know where their tax dollars are being spent; and to reduce the influence of lobbyists who have all too often set the agenda in Washington.

In our country, I have found that this cooperation happens not because we agree on everything, but because behind all the labels and false divisions and categories that define us; beyond all the petty bickering and point-scoring in Washington, Americans are a decent, generous, compassionate people, united by common challenges and common hopes. And every so often, there are moments which call on that fundamental goodness to make this country great again.

So it was for that band of patriots who declared in a Philadelphia hall the formation of a more perfect union; and for all those who gave on the fields of Gettysburg and Antietam their last full measure of devotion to save that same union.

So it was for the Greatest Generation that conquered fear itself, and liberated a continent from tyranny, and made this country home to untold opportunity and prosperity.

So it was for the workers who stood out on the picket lines; the women who shattered glass ceilings; the children who braved a Selma bridge for freedom's cause.

So it has been for every generation that faced down the greatest challenges and the most improbable odds to leave their children a world that's better, and kinder, and more just.

And so it must be for us.

America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love.

The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment -- this was the time -- when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.
