What does the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Howard Dean think of citizen participation and how the netroots community is influencing political interaction? Find out by watching footage of the YearlyKos Convention 2006 Keynote Speech by Howard Dean available on the Link TV and ForaTV websites.
“When I was running for Chairman last year, I said that we would take our country back, state-by-state, precinct-by-precinct, block-by-block. I also said that we would build up our party’s strength, from the grassroots up, through the Internet and person-to-person outreach. The netroots have been an important part of this process.” - Governor Howard Dean

A girl died in 1933 by a homicide murderer. He buried her in the ground when she was still alive. The murderer chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried her. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this little girl. In the middle of the night she will be on your ceiling. She will suffocate you like she was suffocated. If you post this, she will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded.

Operation Backing the Troops
If you are interested in Supporting our Troops, we are having a counter protest against the "delco wage peace justice" loonies. They are a hard left group with ties to socialists and communists. They want peace, but peace comes at a cost. Freedom isn't free. They will be wearing numbers representing each "innocent" iraqi that was "murdered" by the United States military. That isn't supporting our troops now is it? I want to get a group together to show these scumbags that America doesn't support them.
Why: Because our Troops need support against these bastards putting them down. When:May 15th from 1pm-5pm Where: Independance Hall, Philadelphia.
P.S. These Counter Protests never get violent.
If you are interested, contact me ASAP. AOL: Manfra84 Yahoo: PeterManfra

Hey Pete Manfra here again. Thought i would share a couple more things with my fellow conservatives and anyone else who's just curious. First you need to check out this video of probably the DUMBEST human alive.
Caution: 1. If a person who has pubic like hair on face grosses you out don't view the video. 2. If you have anger or heart problems and get pissed off really easily you also should not watch this video. 3. If you're a communist, i hope your not like this one.

 left axis measured in thousands (i.e., x1k) [click chart for explanatory article.]
No wonder the MSM and Dems only wanted to use the (notoriously slow in reflecting new growth) Payroll survey data, and not the more accurate (because it is fast-tracking) Household survey!
"As for employment, it turns out to be empirically and irrefutably false that the president lost jobs during his first four years in office, as Hoover did, and empirically and irrefutably true that Bush’s election-year jobs-growth rate was one of the highest on record."

4:38 pm - In Terms of Election Conspiracy Theories...
|

badlydrawnjeff

...another one bites the dust:
The new system was constructed after a precursor, the Voter News Service, contributed to the networks' calling of Florida in the 2000 election first for Al Gore, then for George W. Bush, then for neither.
While the new system avoided those pitfalls, the researchers found that their projections overstated the votes won by Mr. Kerry in 26 states, while overstating the votes won by Mr. Bush in four.
The system was not without its technical glitches on Election Day. For example, the research firms found that at least in the early afternoon, the system "overstated the proportion of women in the electorate," a problem apparently caused by a programming error.
In positing why the overstatements of Mr. Kerry's performance were so pronounced, the researchers said they were convinced that the technical foundation on which their work was based was sound.
Instead, the report concluded that at least some of the breakdown was rooted in the "interactions" between some pollsters and some voters. In general, the surveys appeared to overrepresent younger voters, who tended to vote for Mr. Kerry, and to underrepresent older voters, who tended to vote for Mr. Bush.
As you were.

9:54 am - New Moderator for 2008_elections?
|

culturalbaggage
|
2008_elections desperately needs a new moderator, one who is capable of maintaining objectivity, and who avoids letting personal issues (not related to LJ) cloud their judgement.
yesterday i crossposted my update about hillary's shady accounting to that forum (since she's widely considered a leading candidate for the DNC nomination, it was entirely on topic). this morning i discovered that i was tossed from the community, according to the current maintainer (a frothing leftist, who i have met in person on a couple of occasions), because i have "a tendency to harrass". she claims, laughably, that it was not an attempt to censor conservative posts. i hereby *challenge* that individual - or anyone, for that matter - to identify *one* instance in which i have "harrassed" an interlocutor in that - or any other - debate forum. unless, of course, by "harrass" they mean, simply, "win an argument with a leftard," in which case i am guilty as charged. i was also described as "overly aggressive", which i can only assume to mean that, unlike "good" conservatives, i don't simply cave in when challenged with easily debunkable leftard myths.
megerber and/or megerberalt has no business attempting to moderate a debate community that is not expressly a leftard echo chamber.
i note with some irony that the chief leftard whom i most frequently demolished in 2004_elections commented on the entry in which she crowed about booting me, and he remains on the list (despite *his* well-documented tendency to engage in the sort of classless profanity, name-calling, and harrassment for which i was ostensibly booted).

12:30 pm - Washington state revote?
|
|
pseudoascetic
|
republican dino rossi is calling for a revote after losing the second recount in the Washington gubernatorial race by 100+ votes, saying, "The uncertainty surrounding this election process isn't just bad for you and me, it's bad for the entire state. People need to know for sure that the next governor actually won the election." It would be great if all republicans has this attitude, not just about the state of Washington, but the entire nation. I think it's just as important to know that the next president actually won the election. I think Gregoire should respond by consenting to a revote for governor in Washington on the condition that there is also a revote for president, especially since the presidential race was not only close, but there were many "irregularities".

4:35 pm - African American Voter Suppression in Ohio
|

goodcow

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/12/22/143921/53 http://www.primisware.com/ohio/video1.mpg OR http://460design.net/ohio/video1.wmv http://www.primisware.com/ohio/video2.mpg OR http://460design.net/ohio/video2.wmv
25-minute video was made available to the press and public today that exposes the widespread civil rights abuses and voter disenfranchisement suffered by the African American community in Ohio on Election Day. The footage was released by "We Do Not Concede" (www.donotconcede.com), a nonprofit grassroots organization created to unite and mobilize citizens whose voting right were suppressed, denied, or simply not counted.
"We hope this footage will serve as a wake up call to all Americans that the fundamental principles our country was founded upon like ‘democracy’ and ‘equal rights’ are being systematically dismantled by a small group of Republicans who are concerned with keeping power, not preserving liberty," said Zack Kaldveer, Communications Director, We Do Not Concede. "In America every vote must be accurately counted and equally valued, and that’s not what happened on November 2nd. We the people most definitely do not concede."
The video provides a first hand glimpse of an emerging civil rights scandal of historic proportions that will culminate in a "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" bus trip organized by We Do Not Concede, consisting of voters who are contesting the Ohio electorate, led by Rev. Bill Moss of Columbus Ohio. The buses will travel from Columbus to Washington DC on January 4th through the 6th. Rev. Jesse Jackson has pronounced Ohio's vote fraud fiasco "the biggest deal since Selma" and has called for a national rally at "the scene of the crime" in Columbus January 3rd.
"For the second Presidential election in a row African-American voters have been subjugated to the role of second class citizens through efforts by Republicans to suppress, intimidate, and disenfranchise our vote," said Rev. Bill Moss, original Contestant of Ohio Electors and founder of the Center for Freedom and Justice. "Whether its Katherine Harris or Kenneth Blackwell, the purpose is the same: do everything in their power to ensure George W. Bush becomes President. If they are willing and able to thwart democracy and abuse the civil rights of American voters right in the face of the press and public, what else are they capable of? I am contesting this election because tyranny, particularly in the guise of democracy, is our civic duty to fight."

10:22 am - VALUES – RIGHT-WING ELITISTS
|

java_drinker
|
In Tuesday's Washington Post, Terry Neal examines America's true media elite – "corporate leaders at companies as diverse as News Corp., Marriott International and Time Warner [who] profit by selling red state consumers the very material that red state culture is supposed to despise," then funnel the proceeds to conservative causes. "The people who run the Republican Party are elites just like any other elite, and they don't share the same cultural concerns as the center of the country," admits conservative CNN host Tucker Carlson. "[T]hey don't have anything in common…with evangelicals who make up the bulk of their party." In the most recent issue of Cigar Aficionado, for example, Rush Limbaugh takes a pause from smearing "liberal elitists" to describe his love for the fruits of Cuba, gushing over his trip to a high-end tobacco salon in London where he smoked Cuban cigars and waxed about their similarity to Bordeaux grapes.
