This scholarly article from a Constitutional lawyer puts more than a little academic cred behind the divided government thesis. The only way to re-elect Divided Government in 2008, is elect John McCain for President. It is the right thing to do.

Yes, and?

Did you have a point there?

The Dem leaders have ways of making such newbies toe the party line. How many of those vaunted Blue dawgs voted against the $700 billion bailout package the first time, and then voted for it when it passed?

Nancy and Steny know how to crack a whip. Maybe you don’t get on a certain committee, maybe your pet legislation gets deep-sixed, maybe your earmarks get removed, maybe they go so far as to support a primary challenger in your next election cycle.

The Dems maybe fractured, but the leaders at the top know how to apply the right amount of pressure when it’s needed…

Gee, I don’t get it.

I do not think, however, the Republican comment was necessary, and especially do not feel it was true.

I just cannot understand how anyone could vote for Obama, how anyone can believe him. It is pure hatred for Bush and the Republicans, and want of revenge for Billy boy. It is emotional, not logical. Nothing else makes sense to me.

“We Will Not Be Silenced”

This documentary is about the disenfranchising of American citizens by the Democratic Party and the Obama Campaign. We the People have made this film. Democrats have sent in their stories from all parts of America.

We want to be heard and let the country know how our party has sanctioned the actions of what we feel are Obama Campaign “Chicago Machine” dirty politics. We believe this infamous campaign of “change” from Chicago encouraged and created an army to steal caucus packets, falsify documents, change results, allow unregistered people to vote, scare and intimidate Hillary supporters, stalk them, threaten them, lock them out of their polling places, silence their voices and stop their right to vote, which is, of course, all documented in “We Will Not Be Silenced.”

“We Will Not Be Silenced” is about the people who fight back by simply telling their stories: Teachers, professors, civil rights activists, lawyers, janitors, physicists, ophthalmologists, accountants, mathematicians, retirees – all bound together by their love of America and Democracy.

They will tell us their experiences and how they feel betrayed by their own party. They will discuss how their party has disenfranchised them and how, when they saw and reported multiple instances of fraud, everyone turned a blind eye.

Rather than support and protect the voices and votes of its loyal members, the DNC chose to sweep this under the rug by looking the other way, or using ceremony and quasi-investigations to assuage angry voters. It is our opinion there never before has been such a “dirty” campaign; the campaign that has broken the hearts and spirits of American voters, who once believed in the Democratic voting system.

We are not angry liberals; we are disappointed Democrats, who love our country and feel the DNC needs to stand for truth, care about its voter base and stop committing actions worse than what we only thought possible of the worst Republicans. The DNC and the Obama Campaign need to be held accountable for the catastrophe of the 2008 Democratic Primary.”
