"We are trying to change the tones in the state capitals -- and turn them toward bitter nastiness and partisanship." -- Grover Norquist, 2003

Grover - You missed the intro to the US Constitution - you know the one about promoting the common welfare.

Great idea for the NBA draft. As an Oregonian and a Trail Blazer fan you can start it next year!

Eliminate the corporate tax and replace it with a corporate or business gross receipts tax (CGRT) . Add up all your revenue from product sales, asset sale, real estate, stocks etc, then pay a simple flat rate based on your industry category. the rate for Law firms may be different rate than manufacturing. Someone a lot smarter than me can figure out what those rates should be.

My friend at the Wyden's Bend Oregon office called to congratulate me for the White Sox victory.(He's a Red Sox fan, so we're both feelin pretty Soxxy). We discussed some local and state politics, but he did'nt even mention this.We should be shouting this from the Roof Tops!!!.I'm not a big fan of the flat part, but fair and simple sound great to me.

As the season plays out Redskin fans will realize that the Bears have one of the best defenses in the league. The Redskins and the Bears are mirror images of each other. Great defense with offenses that have potential, but have yet to deliver on the field.

AMEN! I'm not a religious peron but AMEN!

This is a privacy issue. John Roberts and Rick Santorum are two Republican leaders who have stated that they don't believe the Constitution protects our right to privacy. As Democrats we should nail them on this one.

I live in Central Oregon (the Red part of Oregon). The west has tradition of live and let live. Democrats need to tap into that sentiment.

I'm a DEMOCRAT who trusts women to make their own decisions about  their reproductive health care. Women are in charge of their personal health care. END OF DISCUSION.

The only way Democrats can become the majority is to "STAND FOR SOMETHING". You are all wet with your  left, middle, moderate, right, social conservative, social liberal BALONEY!

I'm a DEMOCRAT I belive Americans have the right to private decisions in the Doctors Office as well as their gun cabinets.

I'm a DEMOCRAT I believe in great schools, strong communitys, retirement security, investing in the future and Leading the World by Example.

I'm a Democrat I believe Americans have the right to be secure in sickness as well as health.

I'm a DEMOCRAT I believe in in Prosperity and Opportunity for all.

Cut to the Quick "STAND FOR SOMETHING" and quit looking for execuses!
