standardJim Slattery Launches Senate Campaign

Jim Slattery has officially launched his campaign to seek the US Senate position currently occupied by Republican Pat Roberts. I feel really good about Jim Slattery. He has a good record and strong support here in Kansas and I strongly believe that he has a chance to beat Roberts. It has been a long time since Kansas sent a Democratic Senator and now is absolutely the right time to do so.

Important Links

If you live in Kansas and can I highly suggest that everyone donate time and/or money to this campaign. Slattery is already off to a very strong start in contributions but it will take more than that to beat Roberts. I will try to keep this website updated as much as possible on the campaign.

standardLaw Requireing ID to Vote Upheld

In a 6-3 ruling (Breyer, Ginsburg and Souter dissenting) the U.S. Supreme Court has upheld an Illinois (doh) Indiana law that requires photo ID to vote. This law was pushed by Republicans who claim that it will prevent fraud. There is little evidence that this is true but one thing that is not disputed is [...]

standardHilllary Takes Pennsylvania by 10

Hillary won Pennsylvania yesterday by 10 points, brining in over 200,000 votes. This of course just goes to verify that she is still a viable candidate no matter what all the anti-Clinton liberal blogs say. Since I have no time today I just wanted to post a question … If Hillary is tearing apart the [...]

standardMcHenry Calls Soldier a Two-Bit Security Guard

Seriously, what the hell do Republicans have to do before our mainstream media starts doing its job? Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) belittled a U.S. Soldier serving in Iraq for following orders and not allowing him access to a restricted area that McHenry was not authorized entry to. “I was not very happy with this two-bit [...]

standardMcCain vs McCain on the Economy

If you remember back in January John McCain made a scathing attack on John McCain’s ability to fix our failing economy saying that John McCain “doesn’t really understand economics”. As expected this attack did not go unanswered. John McCain countered in the very next sentence by assuring voters that even though he may not understand [...]

standardDemocracy Every 4 Years

The other day Vice President Dick Cheney, the 4th branch of the government, responded to the statement from Martha Radatz that “two-thirds of Americans say” the Iraq war “is not worth fighting.” With a blunt “So?”. Now some people found that troubling. Considering the White House’s disdain for the common people I would have been [...]

standardRon Paul Still In It To Win It, Sort of

If you’re one of the chumps patriots who helped Ron Paul set two fund raising records then you can rest easily. Your money has not gone to waste. Despite being invisible for the past few months I have read today that Ron Paul is still in the race. This is good news for those who [...]

standardOlbermann on Clintons Dirty Tactics

From the beginning I have supported Clinton as my candidate of choice. While my politics are more in line with a Kucinich or Edwards candidate I have felt that Clinton would bring a much needed moderate position to the White House. After the past decade of Republican dominance and far right wing politics our nation [...]

standardMedia Controlling Primaries?

I went into the last Democratic debate narrowly supporting Obama, it was close but I was in his camp. I watched the debate and at the end was once again questioning my decision. Hillary came across as more intelligent, more articulate, having a better grasp of the issues, and being better prepared to handle them, [...]

standardRalph Nader to Seek Presidency – Again

Just read over at DMyD and Crooks and Liars that Ralph Nader is once again running for president. Sigh. Must be that time of the year again. Well, at least Ron Paul won’t be the only insane candidate still running. Anyhow, check out those sites for more details as I’m not supposed to be working [...]
