The Do-Nothing Democratic Senate: 1,000 Days Without a Budget
2012-01-24 18:30:00 President Obama, reports Dwvin Dwyer this morning on ABCNews, “has spent the past three months railing against a ‘do-nothing Congress,” and tonight he has the opportunity to deliver his message face to face.” As the Democrat demagogues a legislature that won’t rubberstamp his priorities, he will certainly obscure one fact: Congress is not a ...

Better Government Association, Democratic State Central Committee Should In
2011-05-16 11:54:00 On Saturday May 14th, the Democratic Committeemen of the Illinois 26th Legislative District, led by 4th Ward Democratic Commiteeman Toni Preckwinkle fulfilled their elected duties by selecting Mrs. Kim Neely DuBublet as the new appointed State Representative of the 26th District to fill the vacancy of Will Burns, who is now 4th Ward Alderman. Some political observers and community leaders said that ther process was over before it even started and could question as whether the seat and appointment was clouded by charges of "Pay To Play," because several of the Committmen actually voting on the replacement did not openly disclose that one candidate was a fundraiser for their political campaigns? Was this "good government" at work? Should the Democratic...
Gary Indiana Democratic Mayoral Primary May Make History With a New Hatcher
2011-05-03 09:28:00 Have not heard much local or national political news coverage regarding the Mayoral Primary election in Gary Indiana Tuesday May 3, but national Black and female political history may be made if Gary voters give the Democratic nomination to Gary City Councilwoman Ragen Hatcher who would be poised to become Gary's first female Mayor, and then join the political history books with her father, the first Black Mayor of Gary Indiana and national Democratic Party leader Richard Gordon Hatcher !!I applaud the leadership of Ragen Hatcher for working hard in Gary's grassroots communities, focusing more on earning people's trust in her own right versus pushing her father and name as qualifications.

Cohen Campaign Gaining More Black Ministers and Democratic Constiuent Vote
2010-10-21 05:24:00 Editor's Note -- The Chicago Sun Times Columnist Carol Marin's recent column showing how there are more Black ministers shifting their former Democratic Party votes and support to Independent Candidate Scott Lee Cohen in November is just the beginning. While Cohen is picking up more Black ministers support in the South Suburbs, in Chicago The Chicago Tribune reported last week how Cohen's running mate Baxter Swilley was generating more traditional Black Democratic support from Grassroots community organizations for the Cohen ticket. These and other examples of Cohen and Swilley gaining more Black community support and yet Marin reports that Cohen's official poling stillaverages around between 6-10% is proof of how many people in the Black community are never contacted by formal...

Democratic Societies Need To Face Issues On Cults
2010-01-08 23:21:00 In my colleague's and my extensive experience in exposing the global Sathya Sai Baba cult and its leader, India's most famous guru, we have found a striking fact: governments, and indeed whole societies, fail to face the problem of cults. The 'answers' of totalitarian regimes is of course to be repudiated at the outset. Indeed, in their authoritarianism, these closely resemble a great many cults, in any case! In some sense, they can indeed be deemed cults. Charismatic, autocratic leadership, enforcement of group-think, and punitive styles exercised against those who question are some characteristics that loom large.

Democratic Hall of Shame
2009-09-30 01:46:00 Two amendments proposing a public option were shot down in the Senate Finance Committee today: the first amendment was crafted by Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) and rejected in a 15-8 vote (five Democrats joined all the Republicans), and the second one, by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), was killed by a vote of 13-10, with three Democrats joining the Republicans.Here they are, the Infamous Five (really GOPers in sheep's clothing):Sen. Max Bupkus Baucus (D-Mont.)Sens. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.)Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.)Sen. Kent Clueless Conrad (D-N.D.)and Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.)As HuffPo reports, there were predictable eruptions of idiocy during SFC's deliberations:Republican senators argued that the public option would bankrupt the country and lead to a single-payer system.* "Government is not a competitor. Government is a predator," said Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa).** Yet the GOP also defended Medicare, which Democrats took pains to point out was a government-run plan. Sen. R...

A Controlled Democratic Design Process Gets Every Cubical Involved
2009-05-26 19:46:00 I recently read a really insightful interview with the members of the Griffin product development group on how they go about creating their wonderful accessories for the iPhone and iPod. One comment, in particular, struck a chord: How does the process begin? TC: Regardless of where the idea originates, the front end of the process is wide open; any one at Griffin can pitch a new product idea by writing up a one-page concept summary and presenting it to the team in a weekly product development meeting. That group bats it around, beats it up and decides whether it has enough potential to warrant further exploration. TC: A great product idea can come from anywhere. We all use and love the technologies that we build products to support, so sometimes we're just creating solutions that let us use our iPods and iPhones to do the things that we want to do. We also interact constantly with our customers to learn about their needs and pain points. Other times, we find an exciting techn...

Arlen Specter Welcomed Into Democratic Party
2009-04-28 23:42:00 Pennsylvanian Republican Senator Arlen Specter will run for reelection as a Democrat in 2010. Â Specter's vote for the Obama stimulus package was the final straw to fiscal conservatives essential to winning the Republican primary in Pennsylvania. Â Senator Specter received "bleak polling" numbers from advisers he said Tuesday. Â Polls showed that he would likely loose a Republican primary to Pat Toomey. Â Specter barely survived a primary fight in 2004 against Toomey. Â A second run against Toomey in the primary would not be in Specter's best interests.Specter told the media that Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Ed Rendell promised Specter he would not need to raise money if he ran as a Democrat. Â Democrats were silently ecstatic on Tuesday. Â Jumping on the inside Democratic Leader Harry Reid said now was "not the time to gloat."RNC Leader Michael Steele of course called Specter's move one of personal career protection and not of personal beliefs. Â Steele obviously trying to d...
