Progressive Bumper Sticker

If Bush Took Steroids Would Congress Finally Impeach Him?

American political progressives are understandably frustrated with the Democrats in the U.S. Congress. In spite of the fact that George W. Bush has been caught breaking the law over and over again, the Democrats have refused to even consider impeaching Bush. Congress won’t even investigate the illegal activities of Bush.

What will it take for Congress to act? Along comes Roger Clemens, however, who is suspected of not being completely truthful about how he plays the game of baseball, and then, Congress gets outraged and takes action, moving quickly to initiate a criminal investigation.

So the law comes down hard on baseball players, but gives President Bush kid gloves? What gives?

If Bush took steroids, would they finally impeach him?

Latte Drinking Prius Driving Democrat For Obama

The Hillary Clinton campaign for President in 2008 just met its demise, and no, I’m not talking about Clinton’s big losses in Wisconsin and Hawaii. I’m talking about the comments by big Clinton supporter Thomas Buffenbarger, introducing Hillary Clinton at a political rally yesterday in Youngstown, Ohio.

Tom Buffenbarger attacked Barack Obama as if he were Karl Rove… Buffenbarger, I mean. Buffenbarger sneered condenscendingly at Obama as a “silver tongued orator”, a “shadow boxer”, and weirdly, as being from Illinois, Kansas and Hawaii: “Will we rely on the Harvard Law Review editor? The silver-tongued orator from Kansas, Hawaii and Illinois?”

Since when is being from Illinois, Kansas or Hawaii something to be ashamed of? Why did Buffenbarger launch that out as an insult?

The worst from Buffenbarger, however, was saved for Barack Obama supporters, whom Tom Buffenbarger apparently despises with a passion. Buffenbarger screamed into the microphone,

“The Barack show is playing to rave reviews sold out at college campuses after college campus. Standing room only crowds to hear his silver-tounged orations. Hope, change, yes we can? Give me a break! I’ve got news for all the latte-drinking, Prius-driving, Birkenstock-wearing, trust fund babies crowding in to hear him speak. This guy won’t last a round against the Republican attack machine. He’s a poet, not a fighter!”

Latte drinking, Prius driving, Birkenstock-wearing? Funny, but that sounds like the kind of attacks Republicans use. Remember how the Republicans called Howard Dean a latte-sipping, sushi-eating, New York Times reading liberal? What on Earth is this kind of insult doing coming out of the mouth of a Democrat against another Democrat?

And does Tom Buffenbarger really believe that there’s something wrong with people going to college? Hillary Clinton, as I remember, went to college for awhile herself.

This bumper sticker is now out there for all the Democrats who are sick and tired of seeing blowhards like Tom Buffenbarger spend all their time attacking the Democratic voter instead of going after the Republican Party: Are you a latte drinking prius driving Democrat for Obama? Good, be proud of it, and put this bumper sticker on your car to tell Buffenbarger to go to hell.

The Most Alliterative Local Name For Obama in All America

It never occurred to me until the moment I saw it, but once I did, everything clicked into place. I was driving out to the west of Des Moines the other day when I was passed on the highway by a car with a bumper sticker featuring this simple message: Omaha for Obama

I know it sounds kind of crass, but if I were a community leader in Omaha, I would be hoping for Barack Obama to win the 2008 presidential election, if only for all the extra business opportunities for political tourism and other ventures sure to come the way of Omaha just because Omaha’s name is sure to come up more often once clever wordsmiths start to realize the fun of playing with the similarity of the Omaha - Obama names.

All that, and I think Omaha is just enough of a cool midwestern city to vote for Obama anyway.

While you’re at it, if you’re from Omaha, check out the Nebraska progressive directory for opportunities for progressive activism near where you live.

Lifeguards, Artists and Barack Obama

A bumper sticker catalog reports tonight, in the evening after the Democratic presidential primaries in Wisconsin and Hawaii, that the same person has bought a lifeguards for Obama bumper sticker and an artists for Obama bumper sticker.

I suppose it is possible that one person has bought these two bumper stickers for two different people. Nonetheless, I would like to believe that somewhere out there, there is a lifeguard-artist with progressive political leanings.

What an interesting person that would be, someone who takes time for creative expression and saves people from drowning. Could these two interests overlap?

Clinton Abandons Senate And Leaves Obama To Stand Up To Bush Spies

Today was a vital day in the United States Senate. A series of votes on a law (FISA Amendments Act) that would allow the White House to send spy against Americans using electronic networks like the Internet and cell phone systems - and to do it without giving any reason, not even making the claim that the American citizens being spied on are suspected with a crime.

Barack Obama went to the floor of the United States Senate. He stood up to George W. Bush and his anti-American spying programs. He voted in favor of several efforts to remove the unjust provisions of the electronic spying law.

What did Hillary Clinton do? She just walked away from the Senate. Hillary Clinton did not even bother to show up to vote. Hillary Clinton left

Politicians like Hillary Clinton need a reminder that government spying against Americans is unAmerican. If Hillary Clinton will not show up to do her job in the Senate to defend us from government spying, then she no longer deserves the support of voters - not for her campaign for President, and not to be re-elected to the Senate either.

Yes We Can, The Music, The Video And The Bumper Sticker

It was a couple weeks ago now that we noted the power of the simple motto of the Barack Obama for President campaign: Yes We Can. Well, starting this week, there’s been a powerful media phenomenon going on, the Yes We Can Barack Obama Music Video, as seen below.

The presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and John McCain have nothing like this - and if they tried to get something like it going, it just wouldn’t seem right. The slogan Yes We Can and the idea behind the video match Barack Obama in particular.

Even before the music video was released, the Yes We Can message was being accepted and spread independently around the web, and on the streets of America. The Yes We Can message is being seen on bumper stickers on the highway, on buttons on college campuses, on t-shirts in the mall, and on yard signs in every kind of neighborhood in every kind of community.

Yes we can.
