Sorry for the plug, but I thought a lot of the Kossacks would like to know.

According to Yahoo news. The Bush Administration is going to the re-push the unpopular social security reforms that failed in 2005.

With all of the close house and senate races this former dead issue should now be on the table.

Ned Lamont, for instance can challenge Joe Lieberman on this.  Lieberman has been inconsistent on this matter.
Please pass around this article and recommend the article on Yahoo.

Hossam Shaltout a political advisor to one Hussein's sons claims that Saddam Hussein accepted the Bush Administration's ulitmate to surrender prior to the Iraq invasion.

"Saddam was willing to yield to all American demands, announced and unannounced, to reach peaceful resolution," said Shaltout, "but the Bush administration, including Elizabeth Cheney, undersecretary of State, David Welch, the U.S. ambassador in Egypt, and Gene Cretz, his political attache, did not respond to his offers."

SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN ENDORSES
NED LAMONT IN CONNECTICUT SENATE RACE

The following is a statement by United States Senator Dianne Feinstein:

"I congratulate Ned Lamont for his victory in the Connecticut primary and endorse his candidacy in the November General Election."

Hello everybody,

Just thought you'd like to know that today Ed Schultz will be having on both Ned Lamont and Joe Lieberman in seperate interviews.

This should be a very interesting interview because Schultz doesn't seem to understand why Democrats are angry at Joe. While he doesn't support his stance on the war, Schultz tends to think the bloggers are throwing a good Dem under the bus.

We'll see if their dueling interviews change his mind.

For those interested in hearing Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean get out the new DNC message. They will both be appearing on Ed Schultz show today 12-3. Dean on right now!

Like many liberal Christians I have found myself appauled and in fear of the evangelical base that supports "dominion" over our planet and culture.

One of the most successful members of the movement has been Rick Warren, author of "Purpose Drive Life".

He and his partners have come up with a lovely new video games for Christian youths just in time for Christmas.

Don't eat before you read the article, you may lose your lunch.

If you recall both Ed & Randi talked circles around their right wing opponents.

Watch Ed Schultz on Larry King Live tonight at 9:00 p.m., ET, to discuss the NSA tacking phone records of millions of Americans!

From CNN.com

America's most outrageous talk radio stars speak out on everything from the NSA spying story to the immigration debate. Tune in at 9 p.m. ET.

They are on fire. Main topic tonight is of course immigration. Randi and Ed are really hitting home on how hard it's become on the American workers.

Randi is also doing a great job of focusing the immigration debate as a problem between governments, not because of "bad people".

Ed & Randi have had the conservatives pretty much stumped.

Good show tonight featuring President Clinton as well.

Should be a replay later tonight if you missed it. Set your DVR's !

In protest over the spineless Dems ignoring Russ Feingold.
If their funding drys up they'll get the message. Polls show American's agree with Sen Feingold, yet only two Democrats have supported him.

Save yourself some money and if you want to give, give donations directly to individual candidates.

Call DNC headquarters 877-336-7200 #2 for member services.

New article from Yahoo says a typo in the 2006 budget may force a re-vote. This budget barely passed last week. Call your congressmen !

This issue isn't getting very much play here on Daily Kos. This will hurt our the less fortunate of us.

House OKs far-reaching budget cuts

1 Snowe ME R +59%

 Prodded by the right-wing, the media is already swarming around Sen.Hillary Clinton for saying the House of Representatives "has been run like a plantation...It has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an argument, to
be heard."

MSNBC has already launched a poll: "Was Clinton's
`plantation' comparison too harsh?"

How long before the media mentions that Newt Gingrich, just before becoming Speaker of the House, made the same comparison in 1994:

"I clearly fascinate them," Gingrich said of the Democrats. "I'm much more intense, much more persistent, much more willing to take risks to get it done. Since they think it is their job to run the plantation, it shocks them that I'm actually willing to lead the slave rebellion."
[Washington Post, 10/20/94]

Good to see the Kossacks went to bat for the guy.

The Virginia House voted 73 to 22 to approve a constitutional amendment banning equal marriage rights for gays. The proposal must be voted on by the Senate and signed by Gov.-elect Tim Kaine (D) before it can go to voters in November.

Kaine spokeswoman Delacey Skinner said that the governor-elect will sign the bill to call for a referendum. Kaine supports the amendment and opposes civil unions, she said. She added that he is interested in discussing measures "to make sure people can still be able to contract with each other."
