Impeach+Bush+Cheney: An Eclectic & Hectic Finish To The Day Before Iowa Data Begins To Pour In…For Whatever It Is Really Worth!
Top 10 Most Disgraceful Democrats of 2007
http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_john_f___080103_top_10_most_disgrace.htm
IOWA JUST ANALYSIS:
Every successful campaign in a mixture of about 50% fact and position and 50% emotional content.
Hillary’s pop bottle is like an expensive bottle of spoiled champagne: flat and not worth the expensive price tag.
Organization and commitment will always defeat a front runner with high expectations and a big bankroll. It is easy to use both factors to fashion the victory of an underdog and defeat of the “front runner”.
Obama benefits from Urban area voters, those looking for change and inspiration in any form. His support among women just slapped the crap out of beltway blinder pundits.
Clinton hurt by a image of more of the same, lack of sincerity, integrity and the ability of the voter to either identify with her or trust her. The issue of Hillary changing her campaign, changing her message is the business as usual response to this type of set back and it will only reinforce “Hillary The Chameleon”.
I have written so often that this election will be decided by the Independent “Voter Rage” voter who wants change, wants economic stability and needs to identify with some symbol of change and hope, not more of the same spin master, scripted plastic packaged candidate.
As I write this is not over with yet in Iowa, but Edwards comes away from this day in good position, (2nd) also as a change agent with emotional appeal and a team of exceptional organizers who build on this experience, and they’ll do it tomorrow.
Hillary: First words: Change : that change will be a democrat President in The White House. That is not the message; that is not the change we the people are looking for and voting for!

Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich Bill Moyers Journal t r u t h o u t Programming Note
Wednesday 02 January 2008
PBS Airtime: Friday January 4, 2008, at 9:00 p.m. EST on PBS (check local listings at http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/about/airdates.html).
What do the results in Iowa say about the press and politics? In two interviews, Bill Moyers talks with candidates shut out of key debates - Paul by Fox News from an upcoming debate in New Hampshire and Kucinich by Iowa's biggest newspaper, The Des Moines Register, in December.
On the Friday after the Iowa caucuses, Paul and Kucinich will give their perspectives on the results, the politics and the process as the field heads to New Hampshire. Also on the program, Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, examines the campaigns and coverage in Iowa and looks at the power of the press to systematically advantage some candidates and disadvantage others
Dear Fellow Impeachers:
This is a significant development. Just recently, Rep. Michaud was rejecting calls to support impeachment.
Now it appears that he sent a letter to Conyers, calling for impeachment hearings!
Thanks to all the work done by supporters of impeachment across the State of Maine and beyond; this shows that impeachment is not off the table in Maine and that soon it will be ON the table in Congress.
Also of significance is the first straw poll of the US Senate Campaign in Maine, on 'News of Maine', which has shown for two days that pro-impeachment Candidate Laurie Dobson is far ahead of both Allen and Collins.
See the link, below.Although this is good news, it is not sufficient for Allen to walk into a Senate seat without demonstrating leadership which will insure that impeachment will be undertaken and that this Administration will be held to account both before and after the election.
Tom Allen has said that it will be too late to undertake impeachment once the new Congress convenes.
This is untrue: there will be plenty of time for the new Senator from Maine to follow through on impeachment, from the third of January 2009 until January 20th at noon.
We have multitudes of impeachable offenses to investigate. As it appears, Michaud is running cover for Allen--don't allow this to stand! This shows that our efforts are working, keep up the hard work.

In a letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Conyers dated December 21,Representative Michael Michaud of Maine's second CongressionalDistrict called for impeachment hearings.
In part, Congressman Michaud wrote: (Full PDF TEXT HERE)
"I write today to request that you include vigorous hearings into the abuses of power by this Administration and include impeachment hearings of Vice President Richard Cheney in the Judiciary Committee schedule for the second session of teh 110th Congress.
As you are aware, the House of Representatives voted on November 7th to send a resolution of impeachment of Vice President Cheney to theJudiciary Committee. I urge you to commence those proceedings. There is no doubt that at the very least this Administration has dangerously expanded the scope of executive authority and flaunted the constitutionally defined separation of powers.
Serious allegations have been raised against the Vice Presidentregarding his role in mischaracterizing information that led to theinvasion of Iraq, in similarly mischaracterizing information about Iran's nuclear program, the outing of a CIA agent as political retaliation, the abuse of detainees in contravention of the Geneva Conventions, and the illegal wiretapping of American citizens.
As a recent poll indicates, 70% of the American public believes that theVice President has abused his power."

ABOUT US Read Our Privacy Policy>
IndependentPrimary.com is designed to measure the impact of independent minded voters on the presidential election and give independent voters a vehicle to express their preference in a national independent primary.
In national polls, more than 42% of Americans self-identify as independents. Many Republicans and Democrats are independent thinkers - they vote for the person, not the party.
More than 29 states have open primaries which allow independents to vote in party primaries. Independentprimary.com will mobilize the power of independent-minded Americans by holding an on-line national primary.
In a recent poll, 79% of these voters said that government is run for the benefit of special interests, not the people. Special interest control of our political process has a negative effect on our democracy. Because career politicians are beholden to these lobbyists and special interests our elected officials are not able to find solutions to the issues of healthcare, immigration, and the Iraq War.
Independent-minded Americans are a powerful force for restoring American democracy.
Independent Primary.Com was launched to be the voice of this voter block in the Presidential Primaries. We are uniting independent-minded Americans so we can challenge the partisanship and special interest control of policy-making which is endangering our democracy.
We are committed to find a new way of doing politics that is free from the domination of big money, political party bosses and the corporate-owned media.
Who started IndependentPrimary.Com?
IndependentPrimary.Com was started by independent political activists from across America to establish and measure the power and impact of independent-minded voters on the presidential election.
IndependentPrimary.Com is sponsored by IndependentVoice.Org and Independent Texans. Participants include the Committee for an Independent Voice New Hampshire, and the Committee for a Unified Independent Party.
Why can't I see the results after I vote?
We designed IndependentPrimary.Com to be more like a real primary than a typical "quick hit" internet poll. Because we wanted to minimize the impact of the current results on future voting, we decided not to post the results in real time after voting.
When will we see the results?
While attempting to minimize the impact the current results have on future voting, we also want to keep voters informed of how the primary is going. We plan to send the results out by email at the end of the primary on December 18th. The final tally will be publicly announced before the New Hampshire Primary (currently scheduled for January 8th, 2008).

Dear ed,
Once again, the corporate media is trying to tell you which candidates you're allowed to vote for. ABC and Fox News are sponsoring debates just before the New Hampshire presidential primary.
Both ABC and FOX are ruthlessly using their control of these debates to limit the choice of American voters -- before the first vote is cast!
Here's what they've done:
ABC NEWS HAS EXCLUDED KUCINICH, GRAVEL, AND OTHERS: In an arbitrary decision that shakes our democracy to its very core, ABC News has set debate criteria that exclude Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden and Duncan Hunter from their Saturday debates.
New Hampshire has a recent history of open debates. As a result of these exclusions the New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper has decided not to co-sponsor the debate.
FOX NEWS HAS EXCLUDED RON PAUL: Fox News has done ABC one step worse by calling it's Sunday debate a "candidate forum" to avoid setting any criteria at all.
They're using this technicality to exclude Ron Paul - even though the co-sponsoring New Hampshire Republican Party issued a statement saying they want all the candidates included.
FOX and ABC are using arbitrary criteria to exclude the diverse and anti-war voices in the Democratic and Republican primaries and limit the participation of independent voters.
IndependentPrimary.com is the independent watchdog on the electoral process -Click here to join us in flooding ABC and Fox News with emails and phone calls demanding that all the candidates be included in the televised debates>
Thank you for working to take our country back from the party bosses, big money, and corporate media,
A. Contact ABC News to Demand Inclusion of Kucinich, Gravel, and Others in the January 5th Debates>

Lawmakers celebrate $82 million for S.F. shipyard clean-up
By SCOTT LINDLAW Associated Press Writer
Article Launched: 01/03/2008 11:14:22 AM PST
SAN FRANCISCO—Mayor Gavin Newsom said Thursday he hopes $82 million in new federal cleanup money for the former Hunters Point shipyard will move the city closer to persuading the San Francisco 49ers to build a football stadium here.
Newsom, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Dianne Feinstein gathered at Hunters Point to celebrate the infusion, which was negotiated into a massive federal spending measure and signed into law by President Bush last month.
"The money will flow, the dirt will fly, progress will get made," Pelosi declared.
The 49ers have been leaning toward building a stadium in Santa Clara, skeptical that the Superfund site at the former Hunters Point naval shipyard can be cleaned up and a stadium completed by 2012.
Newsom and others said the new money—more than double what the Bush administration had requested, and far above previous years' spending levels—pushes the Hunters Point site significantly closer to being ready.
"Eighty-two million dollars will get us where we need to be if the 49ers decide to do the right thing and fulfill their commitment to the members of the community that they made a number of years ago," Newsom said.

IndependentPrimary.com is designed to measure the impact of independent minded voters on the presidential election and give independent voters a vehicle to express their preference in a national independent primary.
In national polls, more than 42% of Americans self-identify as independents. Many Republicans and Democrats are independent thinkers - they vote for the person, not the party.
More than 29 states have open primaries which allow independents to vote in party primaries. Independentprimary.com will mobilize the power of independent-minded Americans by holding an on-line national primary.
In a recent poll, 79% of these voters said that government is run for the benefit of special interests, not the people. Special interest control of our political process has a negative effect on our democracy. Because career politicians are beholden to these lobbyists and special interests our elected officials are not able to find solutions to the issues of healthcare, immigration, and the Iraq War.
Independent-minded Americans are a powerful force for restoring American democracy.
Independent Primary.Com was launched to be the voice of this voter block in the Presidential Primaries. We are uniting independent-minded Americans so we can challenge the partisanship and special interest control of policy-making which is endangering our democracy.
We are committed to find a new way of doing politics that is free from the domination of big money, political party bosses and the corporate-owned media.
Who started IndependentPrimary.Com?
IndependentPrimary.Com was started by independent political activists from across America to establish and measure the power and impact of independent-minded voters on the presidential election.
IndependentPrimary.Com is sponsored by IndependentVoice.Org and Independent Texans. Participants include the Committee for an Independent Voice New Hampshire, and the Committee for a Unified Independent Party.
Why can't I see the results after I vote?
We designed IndependentPrimary.Com to be more like a real primary than a typical "quick hit" internet poll. Because we wanted to minimize the impact of the current results on future voting, we decided not to post the results in real time after voting.
When will we see the results?
While attempting to minimize the impact the current results have on future voting, we also want to keep voters informed of how the primary is going. We plan to send the results out by email at the end of the primary on December 18th. The final tally will be publicly announced before the New Hampshire Primary (currently scheduled for January 8th, 2008).

Dear ed,
Once again, the corporate media is trying to tell you which candidates you're allowed to vote for. ABC and Fox News are sponsoring debates just before the New Hampshire presidential primary.
Both ABC and FOX are ruthlessly using their control of these debates to limit the choice of American voters -- before the first vote is cast!
Here's what they've done:
ABC NEWS HAS EXCLUDED KUCINICH, GRAVEL, AND OTHERS: In an arbitrary decision that shakes our democracy to its very core, ABC News has set debate criteria that exclude Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden and Duncan Hunter from their Saturday debates.
New Hampshire has a recent history of open debates. As a result of these exclusions the New Hampshire Union Leader newspaper has decided not to co-sponsor the debate.
FOX NEWS HAS EXCLUDED RON PAUL: Fox News has done ABC one step worse by calling it's Sunday debate a "candidate forum" to avoid setting any criteria at all.
They're using this technicality to exclude Ron Paul - even though the co-sponsoring New Hampshire Republican Party issued a statement saying they want all the candidates included.
FOX and ABC are using arbitrary criteria to exclude the diverse and anti-war voices in the Democratic and Republican primaries and limit the participation of independent voters.
IndependentPrimary.com is the independent watchdog on the electoral process -Click here to join us in flooding ABC and Fox News with emails and phone calls demanding that all the candidates be included in the televised debates>
Thank you for working to take our country back from the party bosses, big money, and corporate media,
A. Contact ABC News to Demand Inclusion of Kucinich, Gravel, and Others in the January 5th Debates>

Lawmakers celebrate $82 million for S.F. shipyard clean-up
By SCOTT LINDLAW Associated Press Writer
Article Launched: 01/03/2008 11:14:22 AM PST
SAN FRANCISCO—Mayor Gavin Newsom said Thursday he hopes $82 million in new federal cleanup money for the former Hunters Point shipyard will move the city closer to persuading the San Francisco 49ers to build a football stadium here.
Newsom, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Dianne Feinstein gathered at Hunters Point to celebrate the infusion, which was negotiated into a massive federal spending measure and signed into law by President Bush last month.
"The money will flow, the dirt will fly, progress will get made," Pelosi declared.
The 49ers have been leaning toward building a stadium in Santa Clara, skeptical that the Superfund site at the former Hunters Point naval shipyard can be cleaned up and a stadium completed by 2012.
Newsom and others said the new money—more than double what the Bush administration had requested, and far above previous years' spending levels—pushes the Hunters Point site significantly closer to being ready.
"Eighty-two million dollars will get us where we need to be if the 49ers decide to do the right thing and fulfill their commitment to the members of the community that they made a number of years ago," Newsom said.
