Yeah, I said it... McCain won tonight.

Yes, McCain was thrown softballs... the media is biased... WELL LAAAA TEEEE DAAA.

Fuck! Stop wining about it...

DO Something about it.

Let it motivate you to get the fuck out there and talk up Obama... tell everyone you see that McLame is Bush's 3rd term.

Go on offense... Obama surrogates should be out on the talk shows tomorrow punching him in the balls...

A fellow kossack, JWSwift, has gotten a LTE published by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in response to their moronic call "Impeachment not worth another minute of anybody's time".

The opinion piece by the Sentinel calls for Wexler and Kucinich to drop their impeachment bid for "real issues"

From MSNBC's First Read:

From NBC/NJ's Matthew Berger
MILBANK, S.D. -- Bill Clinton acknowledged Monday that today may be his last campaigning for his wife.

"I want to say also, that this may be the last day I'm ever involved in a campaign of this kind," the former president said at a town hall at the Milbank Visitor Center.

Jump...

And doggies too!

This is heartbreaking for me...

At about 3AM this morning a fire broke out at the Safe Harbor Animal Sanctuary & Hospital in Jupiter Florida. Due to the heroic efforts of the Jupiter Police Department and Palm Beach County Fire Rescue 38 animals were saved. Tragically 14 pooties were not so lucky. As I type this, the rescued animals are in cages in the Safe Harbor parking lot with nowhere to go... You can help!

So the MSM conventional wisdom states that hiring Karl Rove to take on Markos in the pages of Newsweek will "make liberals heads explode", boy do they have allot to learn.

Ladies and gentlemen what we have here is a perfect example of why they don't get us... their conventional/political wisdom is and always has been dead wrong. This is a fight we welcome, I only wish this were a direct televised debate in prime time, but I'll take what I can get.

They don't understand us, and because of that, they fear us.

This from AP: Appeals court tosses out teen's conviction in Jena, La. beating case

The aggravated battery conviction that could send a black teenager from Jena to prison for 15 years in the beating of a white classmate has been overturned by a state appeal court. The state third circuit court of appeal says Mychal Bell should not have been tried as an adult on the battery charge.

Short, I know, but it is nice to see justice served every once in a while!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have been told. It was no accident that Sen. Feingold graced us with a diary today (I'll explain in a moment).

You see, we have been stirring up trouble in these parts. It should be obvious to everyone that the calls for impeachment, on this site, have grown steadily over the past few weeks with no signs of letting up. There are some here that were once against impeachment that are now squarely for it. We have begun to yell at them (Congresscritters), and they can hear us.

Make the jump...

Just thought I would offer a reminder as to why we celebrate July 4th (not that the people on this site didn't know already).

With special thanks to ushistory.org, I present to you The Declaration of Independence in it's entirety.

Happy reading!

I humbly request you rec this so that all on this site may read it today.

Thank You

Just watching WFLX Fox29 (West Palm Beach), apparently Clay Shaw just figured out that voting machines might have problems.

Tell me if this sounds Kosher to you...

2 voters report voting problems they had today to Congressman Clay Shaw's office. They claim that their votes switched to Shaw's Democratic opponent Ron Klein.

Now normaly I would have to side with the voter's concerns... but I question the credibility of these PARTICULAR voters. You see, a woman WHO WORKS FOR SHAW'S CAMPAIGN AND HER DAUGHTER were the only ones to complain!

More bellow...

For those of you who believed (as I did), that the Dems would sweep FL-16 after Predatorgate broke... think again.

Now, this is not doom and gloom, clearly Tim Mahoney, the Democratic candidate for Florida's 16th Congressional District, got a huge bump in the polls since the Foley shit hit the fan. As this latest poll (South Florida Sun Sentinel) indicates Tim holds a 7 point lead over Foley's replacement Joe Negron.

Mahoney (D)- 48
Negron (R)- 41
Undecided - 11

Payback is a bitch!
Fordahm strikes back:

AP

A senior congressional aide said Wednesday he told House Speaker Dennis Hastert's office in 2004 about worrisome conduct by former Rep. Mark Foley with teenage pages - the earliest known alert to the GOP leadership.

Kirk Fordham told The Associated Press that when he was told about Foley's inappropriate behavior toward pages, he had "more than one conversation with senior staff at the highest level of the House of Representatives asking them to intervene."

I'm running out of popcorn!

Update [2006-10-4 16:49:53 by weelzup]: Bay Buchanan on CNN: Speaker should be gone by the end of the day.

Sorry about the short diary here, but I believe this deserves a diary of it's own.

According to his lawyer in a press confrence as of 5:45pm EST today:

1.Law enforcement HAS NOT contacted Foley or his lawyer.
2.Law enforcement HAS NOT seized his computers.

WTF?!?!?!?!?

I'm no cop, but I've seen enough Law and Order to know that in this type of situation the computers should be seized by law enforcement ASAP!

WOW, I'm stunned.

Update [2006-10-3 19:34:53 by weelzup]: I need your help! Can't find a transcript! Will post if one can be found.

Update [2006-10-3 19:51:39 by weelzup]: #2: A full video of the press conference is available here (large 24mb WMV file) Comment about contact with law enforcement at 6:51 into video.

First let me say that I live in Florida's 22nd Congressional District. For those of you who don't know FL-22 buts up aginst FL-16. Many of my friends, neighbors, family live in the 16th, and I am very familiar with it's politics. (Mark Foley lives about 3 miles from my house).

I like posting these anecdotal accounts of voter intent/feeling. They are very important, IMHO, in determining what the voters will do in Nov.

Today I came across a doozy of a story...

WOW! According to ABC News Republican congressman Mark Foley had a potentialy inappropriate email exchange with a 16 year old former Congressional page.

Details bellow...

My guess is that these guys just don't know how a video camera works!

Get the skinny on the flip...

Daily Kos is getting lots of attention these days, and rightly so. I don't have to tell the people reading this how this site works, but I am here to issue a challenge.

Due to the resignation of Michael J. Gerson, President Bush's longtime speechwriter, The White House is looking for his replacement. The candidate must possess the following qualities:

I'm a big fan of these diaries containg anecdotal evidence that the country is coming around to "our" way of thinking. Let me set the scene- Palm Beach County, Florida- A crowded Panera Bread Co.
