I'll make it brief.

There have been calls for Sen. Hillary Clinton to quit, some people say yes, some people say no, or that she should not be asked to do it, or that she will not consider it because she is out of touch with reality or that she must absolutely win because... (List your speculations)

The Title got you, didn't it? Good, it got me too when I first saw it.

Quickly, do you know what Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Greg Palast have in common? Yeah! They both said these words, but why ask God to zero in His Divine damnation against Pennsylvania? (Gasp!!!)

On my Diary Why Eliot Spitzer was taken out - The true story? 03/23/08, I pose as a question that there may be another narrative on why he was possible targeted for other motives rather than the apparently accepted one of his stupidity and arrogance as the reason given on why he was found out/caught, with ample visible indications that he was the best ally his enemies would hope for in support of this view.

To lay down the first element on why this episode deserves a closer look, I offered the Op-Ed piece by Eliot Spitzer published 02/14/08 on the Washington Post headlined Predatory Lenders' Partner in Crime, where he accuses the Bush Administration of aligning itself with the banks that were victimizing consumers via the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), by asserting:

This alert came to me via grassroots4obama@yahoogroups.com ("Yes We Can, Si Se Puede"), immediately I went to Daily Kos and searched under the name Eliot Spitzer only, I figured that if this story was posted here, it surely would have the name in the tags.

Why do I think it is important to look into it?  Well, read below the fold and see what my fuss is all about.

Be merciful to me and don't let me get on your way by being unjust.

Even if you are not an Obama supporter, you have to be outraged at the level of exposure that Pastor Wright's comments are getting on the Media, all inclusive, the clips are being played over and over.

Would you agree that the other candidate's religious background should be opened and examined too?

Six years ago today, almost 3,000 people perished in the worst terrorist attack perpetrated against the USA and many of us are still mourning and deploring the savagery visited on so many innocent parents, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, friends, acquaintances, so, so many.

For many in this country and around the world who profess to be Christians, there is the consolation that there is life after death and that the victims of 911 are enjoying a better and eternal life where there is no suffering, no pain, no greed, no hate, no base instincts such as revenge or ill will toward one another, where there exists only eternal love and bliss keeping a watchful vigil on their loved ones left behind, blessing and protecting them, gone but still with us.

In this July 4, amid the celebration for the independence and creation of this country, right after the so called Immigration Reform legislation considered in the Senate, which fortunately failed, fortunately because it was in reality an internal security program wrapped up in immigration reform rhetoric and very aggressive measures to deport as many as "deportable" undocumented workers as possible, plus the 21st century version of indentured workers, euphemistically called "guest workers" but in reality was yet another "bracero" program.

Hey! Joe Blowhard, Illegal immigration is not the real cause of your miserable lot in life; the real culprit is your failure to accept the responsibility handed down to you by what you, with pious pomposity, call "Our Funding Fathers" Without fully grasping the ideals set forth by their inspiration, sweat and blood, you have been shitting all over the Republic they entrusted to your stewardship.

You are messing it up royally.

The best "Bumper sticker" Type slogan entries were "Had enough? Vote Democrat, let's fix what's broken" and "Get real! Vote Democrat, let's fix what's broken" These have to be repeated ad nauseam,  in addition, "Are you better off today that 5 years ago?"  borrowing from the old, tried and extremely effective R. Reagan's campaign mantra makes the point for us this time.

The platforms suggested by callers, parallel the views at the Dkos in general which in turns reflects a column by Molly Ivins on this subject. Bernie read it on the air to emphasize the widespread agreement in DD on how the Democrats should proceed.

Dear Aurora,

That's what Republicans want you to think. They are so scared of having a legitimate debate about Iraq or national security that they have only one reaction to news of their failures or calls for accountability.

On Monday, Democratic Senator Russ Feingold introduced legislation to censure the President for breaking the law by creating a secret domestic spying program. Agree or disagree with his proposal, as a Senator -- and as an American -- he has the right to speak his mind and express his views without Republican Senators questioning his patriotism.

But that's exactly what happened. This week Republican Senator Wayne Allard of Colorado, in an interview with Fox News radio, said in response to Feingold's action that he has "time and time again [sided] with the terrorists".

Send a message to Senator Allard: shame on him for questioning the patriotism of another Senator.Sign this petition and it will be delivered to Allard:

With the implications associated with safety from terrorism, child exploitation, sex slavery, exploitative prostitution, sharecropping kind of exploitation, brutal totalitarian regime, institutional money laundering, total lack of Gov't oversight other than the one protecting the elite's interests, state-sanctioned drug smuggling and trafficking, monetary hegemony, strategic position for oil supplies control, etc.

Notwithstanding the deserved, valued importance of these individual issues, the de facto emergence and imposition of a global corporatist state, begs for both our focused attention to it, and it's proper placement and classification in our long list of the most urgent priorities.

Yes, we're nauseating in the sweetest form of way
because loving honey is what we lavishly disperse.

"For what is love toward the aggrieved, without demanding redress for same?" Tranny

No, it wasn't the "Offensive" Mohammed cartoon either, even considering the people killed, the property damaged and the worldwide media propaganda wars that may end up escalating.

Wrong again, it wasn't the NSA spy program or the many programs being conducted related, or parallel to it.

The Diarist has been getting a good ass whipping by Kossaks' comments, including two of mine.  It is rightfully proper to do so.

I decided to post this Diary because I feel that there are many points that need to be addressed further, including violations of the DKos Community's rules and/or conventions.

 Not at all! According to Media Matters for America's Analysis Report released yesterday, which says: "conservative vices significantly outnumber progressive voices on the Sunday talk shows"
"Congressional opponents of the Iraq ware were largely absent from the Sunday show, particularly during the period just before the war began."

And what about Sen Bidden's popularity in these shows?  "Sen. Joseph Bidden (D-DE) has been the most frequent guest since 2003".
