comment on a post British Election Update, Part 3: Why I'm backing Labour over 7 years ago

Electabilities ghost

"...they can't win this election."
So vote Labour because the Lib Dems won't win is going to be Labour's new slogan? Sounds very familiar.
comment on a post Santorum plumbing the depths over 7 years ago

Chris...

Do you think you would be blogging if you had rep's who were on the left of the spectrum?
comment on a post Harsh news from Iraq over 7 years ago

Have you read the news today...

It was the frontpage article on the Sunday Seattle Times/P.I. today. The coverage in the weekday Times has been improving, too.

They'll do it...

until people start standing up to them. Bullies are like that. A few law suits for libel/slander would help.
on a comment on A Note On the Fifty State Strategy over 7 years ago

Re: Just wondering...

Most blue states have areas that are heavily red. A 50 state strategy allows you to get campaign workers into those areas, which also helps you to keep an eye out for voter fraud. So I think the two are mutually inclusive.
comment on a post No Child Left Behind or No Child Drafted Too Soon? over 7 years ago

Typo in headline

No Child Dafted Too Soon?
should be "Drafted".
comment on a post Swing Issue Index over 7 years ago

maybe...

Kerry was just a terrible candidate and the electability issue during the primaries was BS.
on a comment on Labour still expected to top 100 over 7 years ago

Re: Turnout

Thanks Ben,
Great post. My family came to the US in 1963 so I didn't know the background that well, since I went to school here. Most of my relatives in the UK seem to still support Labour, but don't like Blair.

Re: Don't think so

Maybe they vote against their economic interests because they don't see the Dems as offering anything different.
comment on a post Labour still expected to top 100 over 7 years ago

Turnout

It will really come down to voter turnout. Will people be able hold their noses and vote Labour with Blair as PM, or stay home?
BTW - why aren't the Lib Dems able to make more inroads?
on a comment on Bipartisan bill on right to die case over 7 years ago

Funny you say that...

In 1999 Gov. Bush signed the current Texas law that allows a hospital to discontinue care even if the legal guardian wants to continue care. It was amended in 2003 to include minors.
comment on a post America Leads The World In Mental Illness over 7 years ago

My knee-jerk reaction

Could it be lack of exercise? High rates in the anxiety and mood categories could definately be related to our car and sofa based society.
comment on a post PA Democratic Party to DFA: "No Blog For You" over 7 years ago

RE: no blog for you

I'm glad you tried to convince him, but I'm not surprised with the answer. If they knew what they were doing; well let's not go there.
The only way change is going to happen is when the DFA members and other progressives have built a caucus within the Dem Party that can replace the current leadership within PA. Which means getting voting members into the local Dem Parties.
on a comment on Gov. Howard Dean on Republicans over 7 years ago

Re: I agree with Dean too

Oops - "discipline" of course not displine.
comment on a post Gov. Howard Dean on Republicans over 7 years ago

I agree with Dean too

So the republicans can demonize us in public, but we can't say anything about them? Yeah that's a winning idea.
It's about time our party got it's act together. There are plenty of things the Dem's stand for and having the displine to stay on message is the minimum we can expect from those who represent our party in public.
