why I am a democrat

racketeering, fraud and money laundering related to his efforts to pay back an illegal $1 million campaign loan. A veteran Pennsylvania congressman was convicted Tuesday in a racketeering case that largely centered on various efforts to repay an illegal $1 million campaign loan. U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah was found guilty of all counts against him, including racketeering, fraud and money laundering. His lawyers had argued that the schemes were engineered without Fattah's knowledge by two ...

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CLASSIC... Why I voted Democrat: I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I want. I’ve decided to marry my horse. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I ...

It's pretty cool. I answered 5 like a Democrat and 5 like a Republican so it said I'm Bi-Partisan, which I always thought, but wasn't really sure sometimes. lol. ...

I'm a Democrat because I believe that we have to help the least among us. If that's healthcare for children, the elderly or the poor, if that's education for people who's family can't afford to send their children to private schools, if that's women who need abortions, when it's gays or African Americans being discriminated against, if it's working folks trying to get a fair shake. I'm a Democrat because the Democrats stand with them.I'm a ...

What a difference a few inches on the forum make! A bit further down there was some gloating about a Republican who was under an ethics cloud quitting the House. ...and here we have this: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0310/33864.html I think that all of us, regardless of party, should start to ask ourselves where does this all end? ...

Guess who -- for the 2nd time in 2 months???.....HHS Secretary Sebillus. This time she violated the Hatch Act. "The ethics office found that Sebelius had made the speech in her official capacity as the nation's top health official, but departed from her prepared text and veered into politicking." (She called for Obama's re-election and endorsed a Democrat for governor.) But that's okay....she found what she did wrong "technical and minor" and they reclassified her speech as pol ...

I had the occasion over the weekend to have a conversation with a former neighbor, a staunch liberal democrat from New York. We used to have many discussions over the past years about politics, always polite, always respectful. In fact, she is one of the few liberals I know who is not full of vitriol and hateful rhetoric. What she told me this past weekend shocked me. She admitted to me that I had been right all along about BO and his ineffective leadership. She said she never felt so helpless ...

whining about the unjust democratic recall process. “I want to bring light on the issue that 22,000 signatures can pretty much overturn an election where even the loser got 40,000 votes," he exclaims. The spoiler strategy was developed last week in a closed door La Crosse County GOP meeting of party leaders who think more time to campaign will work to their advantage once given the opportunity to outspend their democratic opponents. Never mind the extra cost o ...

John F. Kennedy, from inauguration address: We observe today not a victory of a party, but a celebration of freedom- symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning - signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears described nearly a century and three-quarters ago. The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. ...

Here's a great NY Times article "Even Critics of Public Safety Net Increasingly Dependent on It." It has a lot of information about what's been happening to incomes (dropping), expenses, and population and an interactive map of US public spending. Note, there's lots of information to support different viewpoints here. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/us/even-critics-of-safety-net-increasingly-depend-on-it.html "One of the oldest criticisms of democracy is that the p ...

The contrast between that awful hate-filled RNC and the DNC cannot be doubted. The WILLING and great musicians performing, the great speech of Sarah Silverman - I'm with her by the way, "Bernie or Bust people, you're being ridiculous." Michelle Obama gave a truly brilliant speech, really mainly by talking about her children growing up in the White House. All Trump could do was tweet away and froth at the mouth wherever he was with his pitiful little diatribes, exposing the small, mea ...

What I'm reading about O'Malley I'm liking. He does not have the appearance of being democrat and I like that. His knowledge about the constitution and other issues I believe puts him in the middle. I believe he truly wants to save our country from the destruction we have seen it under. Of course there is more to learn about him, but right now I think he is the best hope to save our country. I will vote for anyone that will knock out the creature.&nb ...

It isn't only the Presidency, House and Senate the Democrats lost, they also lost at the state and local levels across the board. I guess a lot of them did "wake up" as suggested many times by those in the know. I think this bodes well for the country moving forward. I am going to continue to NOT read the negative posts by the usual suspects as they continue to offer nothing but divisiveness and vitriol, the traits the majority of Americans are tired of seeing over the last eight years. ...

NBC parent company Comcast donated $5.6 million to the Democratic Party during its convention in Philadelphia, and NBC provided Monday night’s presidential debate moderator. The Democratic Party released a comprehensive list of donors right before the momentous debate, according to The Intercept. The donations were given to the “Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee” which was “supporting a nominating convention,” according to the 1,098 pages of receipts and disbursements. The Phi ...

At Breitbart.com, Michael Patrick Leahy has what strikes me as an explosive story: “Mystery Surrounds Leaked Leaked Draft DHS Document at Center of Controversial Travel Ban Decisions by Two Federal Judges.” Actually, though, it doesn’t seem to be much of a mystery. On February 24, AP reporters Vivian Salama and Alicia Caldwell published an AP “exclusive”: “DHS report disputes threat from banned nations.” The story was based on an anonymous draft Department of Homeland Services d ...

Dennis Kucinich, the former Democratic congressman and presidential candidate, blasted his party colleagues on Tuesday over a push to examine President Trump’s mental and physical fitness for office – and potentially use the findings to seek his removal. The campaign is being led by Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who has tried to rally support for his bill in the wake of Trump’s controversial attacks on various media outlets and personalities. But Kucinich told “Fox & Friends” that De ...
