- A good column on party differentiation in th the age of Iraq
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  Democrats, though, argue that Iraq may be singular. No other fight has been so closely associated with one party or its leader. None has been justified with arguments that crumbled as quickly as the suspicions of weapons of mass destruction or an Iraq-Qaeda tie. And the war’s end, for now, remains far out of sight.

- Democrats Have Intensity, but G.O.P. Has Machine
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  “I do think our base is coming together and will be coming together later, but four weeks is an eternity in this business,” said Representative Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican and longtime party strategist. Republicans will ultimately be motivated to vote, Mr. Cole said, and they will turn out on Election Day even if “this is a race where professionalism has to make up for enthusiasm.”

- Amazing Kansas Editorial Faults Radical Republicans
  Posted by Jeff from Dailykos
  As we prepare ourselves to make political endorsements in subsequent issues, I can tell you unequivocally that this newspaper has never endorsed so many Democrats. Not even close. In the 56 years we have been publishing in Johnson County, this basically has been a Republican newspaper. In the old days, before the Republican civil war that fractured the party, we were traditional Republicans....

- NEWSWEEK GOP in Meltdown
  Posted by Billbar from MSNBC
  For the first time since 2001, the NEWSWEEK poll shows that more Americans trust the Democrats than the GOP on moral values and the war on terror. Fully 53 percent of Americans want the Democrats to win control of Congress next month, including 10 percent of Republicans, compared to just 35 percent who want the GOP to retain power. If the election were held today, 51 percent of likely voters would vote for the Democrat in their district versus 39 percent who would vote for the Republican. And while the race is closer among male voters (46 percent for the Democrats vs. 42 percent for the Republicans), the Democrats lead among women voters 56 to 34 percent. Meanwhile, the president’s approval rating has fallen to a new all-time low for the Newsweek poll: 33 percent, down from an already anemic 36 percent in August. As a result, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld’s approval rating has fallen to just 30 percent, and more Americans believe he should resign than remain, 48 percent vs. 37 percent.

- The Fear Factor
  Posted by Billbar from Rolling Stone
  What last-minute scare tactic will the Republicans pull to swing the midterm elections? Our panel of experts predicts this fall's October Surprise My favorite: LARRY BEINHART, author of "American Hero," the basis of the film "Wag the Dog" Here's what Rove is going to do: He's going to have Bush assassinated. They blow up Air Force One. Maybe shoot it down with a missile that will turn out to have been stolen from a U.S. Air Force base. They'll track it back to Afghanistan, say it got into Al Qaeda's hands that way. It solves everything. It rallies Americans around this terrorist assassination and gets rid of this loser who's embarrassing them. Dick Cheney steps grimly to the helm, declares martial law and becomes President for Life.

- GOP's Hold on Evangelicals Weakening
  Posted by Billbar from Washington Post
  The war in Iraq and the Rep. Foley mess are having an effect on evangelicals. A nationwide poll of 1,500 registered voters released yesterday by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center found that 57 percent of white evangelicals are inclined to vote for Republican congressional candidates in the midterm elections, a 21-point drop in support among this critical part of the GOP base. In 2004, white evangelical or born-again Christians made up a quarter of the electorate, and 78 percent of them voted Republican, according to exit polls. But some pollsters believe that evangelical support for the GOP peaked two years ago and that what has been called the "God gap" in politics is shrinking.

Democrats May Kick Out Joe Lieberman If He Addresses The Republican National Convention

Addressing the Republican convention would be in the true spirit of "reaching across the aisle"... republicans have been doing it for years and it would be a welcome change.

About time. After the ‘08 elections, we won’t need Joe anymore. If the Republicans can stand him, they can have him.

Think Progress » GOP convention button asks, ‘If Obama is president…will we still call it the W

Americans ARE ready for Obama. He WILL be the next president. His policies will be no great breakthrough. But…his presence in the whitehouse will be.
If you want to fear this guy…fear his politics…NOT his race… OR his church.

And why would an African church in the U.S. not recognise America’s racism? Excluding historical American racial history for a moment, are you forgetting that Africans were not allowed by law to even learn about Christianity until long after reconstruction? Africans were not allowed to read, including the Bible. Even after reconstruction, Africans were barred from attenting White churches until well into the 1970’s. I remember, I was there and have had the experience of being told I was not welcome at an all-White church in NYC. I had to find a "Black" church were I was accepted.
To ignore this history is revisionist and dismissive of the history of traditional Europocentric racism. There is nothing anti-American or anti-White in what this church teaches. The U.S. has a long and sorry history of violent anti-Indigenous and anti-African bias, so it would be foolish to think that the theology of a people subject to such repression would not reflect this history and experience. If White American racism and genocide did not exist in the first place, such ideologies let alone churches would never have developed because their would have been no need. And to suggest that such attitudes and practises have ceased is to callously deny the obvious.

Americans are ready for a black president, but not this one,. He himself is all about skin color. He sat in church for 20 years that was all about race.
