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.

Chris Dodd Kills Himself and His Campaign in Apparent Murder/Suicide

Chris Dodd and his small but well liked campaign had been building momentum, day after day, online, in spite of his lack of national recognition. They had been building up a pretty strong netroots strategy and getting the attention of all the major liberal grassroots activists. It's taken time and patience to get this far. And now, in one foul fell swoop, the fine Senator from CT has managed to destroy all the progress and momentum he had, with one careless, idiotic, and utterly ignorant move.

He was the first guest of Old Stupid Bigot Don Imus's new hateful crappy radio show. The premiere's guest.

Sigh. Better luck in 2016.
