Our Republic needs more and better Democrats. Americans have decided that the conservative government of George W. Bush needs to be forcefully opposed.

Yet, most of the Democratic Party leadership has managed to ignore the mandate for change which the public gave to them. These cowards capitulate pointlessly to a loathed President and allow a criminally corrupted Republican Party to continue to call the shots in Washington.

Their continued failure to fight, truly fight for liberal principles will result in worse anger at their betrayal, worse apathy in our Democratic process, and another 8 years of Republican corruption.

For this reason, I've decided to document their atrocities. In 1776 I said, "Lead, Follow, or Get Out of the Way." In 2008 we don't need anymore followers. Lead boldly, or, for the sake of our great Nation, please get the hell out of the way.

Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.

Which party wears red?

I worked for a populist Senator who shied from using the word "fight."

I thought that was a stupid choice. That man is no longer a Senator.

Democrats need to brand themselves as the party that fights the robber barons.

Then, more importantly, Democrats need to FIGHT the robber barons.

Americans are a gloriously violent people. We respect fighters. Afterall, we introduced ourselves to the world by going guerrilla on The British Empire. We were only six years old when Jefferson sicced the marines on Tripoli. Hell, we committed genocide. (Which is a bad thing).

Be a fighter. Fight hard and play by the Chicago rules.
