I sometimes disagree with The Daily Kos, but in this one I think they are on to something.
They make the argument that this administration is in part driven by the desire to not be their parents and elders, to set their own way in the world. The problem being that their “world” is my world and your world and everyone else’s world and they don’t seem to realize that.

One day a democratic congressman found him self indicted for a crime. His associates on the other side of the isle decided this wasn’t the sort of thing they wanted in people who have leadership positions in the House so they made a rule that says you can’t both be in a leadership position and under indictment. It actually makes sense as you’re likely to be elsewhere defending yourself rather than leading.
So what happens when DeLay gets indicated? They changed the rules.
No shame.

How do you know when people are really being self serving in their view of proper legislation? How about when they want to amend The Constitution so they can elect a specific person to office.
Amend for Arnold is just that.
Does anyone wonder what the down side is about amending The Constitution to allow this to happen?

I received the following article from one of the computer security mailing lists I’m on. I’ll be curious to following it if in fact the FBI is involved. It will be nice to have the government looking in to such things. [Ignore the fact that the government is run by Bush for now].
I have no idea how true or not any of this is. The only reason I pass it on is the fact that it claims the investigation is being passed on to the FBI.
At the end of the article there’s a bit about Bev Harris from blackboxvoting.org and the GEMS software used to count votes. Very interesting.

When did Senators start using the phrase “you know", like, you know, when they are talking?
Senator elect John Thune speaking about Arlen Spector
“But I think it’s going to depend upon an understanding from many of us, particularly new members, the freshmen who are coming in, who are concerned about the things that he said and were, many of us, elected, you know, because we spoke about the importance of judges and having judges on the bench who are going to be judges who interpret and apply the Constitution, the laws of the United States.”
Senators are, you know, supposed to be able to speak properly. It’s like, I dunno.

The Republicans own. They have a political organization unlike any other. MoveOn.org, the DNC, the DLC, everyone else pales in comparison. They run it from the top down. What’s the advantage?
They start with the local state races. They get their people in to state office. This lets them set districting patterns that will give them their congressman and senators. They have the governors mansions. They spend a lot of money to get this done. Why? Because these people are the core of the ground game for the national elections. They set the tone and the volume level of the message. They gear it to their own people who they know and who know them. Then when the national candidate comes in and talks values, talks morality, talks about abstract concepts he’s talking straight to you. He’s talking to you about the values your congressman talked about, the values your governor talked about, the values your city councilman talks about.
The fact is, Bush didn’t campaign in a lot of states, but he was able to make enough noise in national television spots and the debates that gave him the overwhelming popular vote (with respect to the last campaign). He got everyone out to the polls to vote for the values their local representatives have campaigned on. The only Republican strong enough to disagree with him is Arnold, and well, when you’re George Bush you don’t argue with Arnold, you use him as much as you can and realize you’re not getting California. Bush (nor I) are ready to get pumped up by Arnold.
So what do the Democrats do? They need to define the core values of the party. They need to spread that message. Then they need to decide what each local politician and representative is going to be responsible for selling in their area and have them sell it. That way when the national candidate comes in to talk to voters people already know what to expect. They know what they are listening for, and they get it.
Why is this? I believe it’s because it’s too easy to attack a national candidate. Once you run for President you’re skeletons are coming out. They are going to find every way to attack you and they will. On the other hand it’s nearly impossible to find ways to attack 200 congressman, 45 senators and thousands of state and local level politicians. These are the guys building the trust for the message. The national candidate then comes in and says “What he said! Yea!” and flies away.
And the crowd goes nuts. They know where he stands on every position. The trust they have for their local candidates is transfered magically to the national candidate. There’s a warm glow everywhere.

I have a lot of respect for conservatives. On the other hand there’s the politicians who use them. I really believe most conservative politicians are no worse than most liberal politicians but those aren’t the ones we have in power at the moment. These are.
How do we reach out to the voters to show them where the country is heading, why and how there’s a better way?
The first step is to respect their views.

Issues that are going to divide this country in the next four years are issues that come down to competing values. When there is a balance between these values things run well. I believe in the next four years we will see an unbalancing if these values.
In the war on terror there’s the values of security and liberty. In the pro choice/pro life fight there’s the values of life, liberty and planned parenthood. The issue of homosexuality there’s the values of liberty, equal protection and the conservative family.
What happens when security, life and the conservative family are placed above liberty, planned parenthood and the conservative family? How do we identify these things and present a different way to lead this country?
I believed that if Bush won reelection it would be the worst thing to happen to this country since I’ve been able to pay attention and likely since McCarthyism. Now that he’s one reelection it’s time to hold him, his allies and his policies accountable. Despite the small margin of victory and the divided nature of his support he’s got a clear mandate. The GOP owns congress. There’s only five senators holding him back from having everything he wants in the Senate. He’s going to execute his plan. This plan will cause problems and the way to attack them is at the foundation, the principles and philosophy he uses to govern this country.
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe everything will get better in the next four years. I’m not counting on it though.

If you’re on the west coast and plan on watching The Daily Show tonight don’t read this…
The show makes a great point. Two major issues of this campaign which brought Bush a victory are terrorism and, as the Daily Show called it, homoism. The question then was why would New York city, a place close to both terrorism and with a large homosexual population, vote overwhelmingly for Kerry? Manhattan went for Kerry with 82% of the vote.
The answer was that people in Manhattan is “too close” to these issues. Only the people in the red states can really stand back from it and take it all in and understand it.

Atrios says there are more of them than us. I disagree. From all the numbers I’ve seen there are about equal numbers of Democrats as Republicans. As for the independents they often swung for Kerry in the larger states. How did he loose? More of “us” voted for “them".
The “Bush democrats” cost Kerry the election. By a margin of about 2:1 more of “us” voted for “them” than “them” that voted for “us".
He is right however that there is a lack of message. Maybe that’s why we didn’t get “us” to vote for “us".

The Daily Kos gets it wrong again.
“We need to retake the language. We need to reframe the notion of “value".
and later
“That leaves the two “faith based” wedges – gays and abortion. And with great skill, the Republicans have equated those two issues with the word “value".
“That’s going to have to change.”
Values are values and we can’t change that other people have what they call values as values no more than they can change the fact that I call what I call values values. (oh do I need an editor).
More importantly Democrats, progressives and liberals need to have their own values, define them well and communicate to America why they have those values and, when they are in disagreement with each other, how we make those value choices.
The sentiment is correct that people can’t continue to let the Republicans set the rules, define the terms and choose the field of battle but trying to tell people that their stance against homosexuality isn’t a “value” will just piss them off. Telling them that freedom for everyone to pursue their lives as they see fit, even when that means they must live with others practicing beliefs they don’t like, is one of their values is most more likely to garner respect.

This article at War and Peace highlights a key misunderstanding many liberals have of the conservative movement.
Evangelical Christians are named so because they are evangelical. Why are they evangelical? There is but one path to salvation and it is through Jesus Christ. It is their job to spread that word and through their love of you the only proper thing they can do is to try to save you.
Evangelical’s believe they have the answer, and more importantly that they have the only answer. Theirs is the path to salvation and any other leads to a life of eternal damnation. Combine with their love for you, well, you know what happens. I won’t say that this isn’t used politically in unethical ways by bigots but to characterize the conservative movement as a gay-baiting creates the elitist views they have of liberals. Evangelicals are trying to do the right thing as they see it. They are in a fight beyond life and death, but for eternal salvation.
Laura quotes M as saying “I just can’t fathom how large the threat of gay marriage looms in the eyes of the Christian right wing.” It’s the threat of eternal damnation.
Now, I don’t agree with the Evangelicals. I’m not even Christian. I’ve spent most of my life as a Unitarian Universalist which is about as tolerant as you can get. On the other hand I believe when we ascribe to malice what can easily be misunderstanding we misrepresent the conservatives. There’s two problems with this. The first is that we fail to understand them and, in order to succeed, we must really understand them. The second is that when we do this we are being offensive to them. If we are busy offending them there is no way we can gain their respect and begin to work together with them to find ways that I can be allowed to live in and suffer the consequences of my own sins.
Certainly there are individuals in the Republican political leadership who uses the fears of the Evangelical Christian community for political gain but we should be careful in how we identify those individuals and when we ascribe those motives to them least we become bigots ourselves. Also we should never forget that there’s dishonesty and misrepresentation on both sides.
Don’t look to the Republicans for why the Democrats lost this election. There is nothing they did that Democrats, progressives or liberals can or could have changed. Look within yourself and think about what you could have done to lead more people to your cause, least we become George Bush and blame our failures on everyone else.

Andrew Sullivan makes the case for Federalism and in doing so captures why in a lot of ways I consider myself conservative.
This election makes it obvious we are not one country. We are several countries. The west coast from northern California north, the north east and the upper midwest are three distinct areas and those are all “blue states". On the red side I see the “south", Florida (well, central and south Florida, north Florida is more southern), the midwest and the southwest.
Despite the world getting smaller our country is still rather large and it’s people rather diverse. Liberalism means knowing that what’s right for you isn’t always what’s right for everyone. At points in our history it’s been appropriate for the federal government to step in and change things. Slavery and integration come to mind. On the other hand there’s a ton of issues where I have strong beliefs but can’t see imposing them on everyone.
There are two issues that I disagree with Andrew on, they are gay rights and abortion. I believe gay couples should be able to get married and that homosexuality should have protected status. I believe that the government should not have the right to interfere in how a person treats their own body. The first is because I believe it is a fact that people can not make a conscious choice to “not be gay". People are who they are and that should be respected and more importantly protected. The second is because when the government legislates how people treat their own body proscribing and prescribing things they can control people. Imagine if the government could prescribe medication that you must take. In addition is my belief that liberty is more important than life in society. The liberty of everyone outweighs the lives of the few.
I don’t believe, unlike Andrew if I read him correctly, that federalism should be used to grant the religious states their government based on their religious beliefs. On the other hand if they wish to make things illegal which do not remove essential liberties, so be it. The right to smoke weed is not an essential liberty, nor are stem cell research and human cloning.

Blackboxvoting.org is issuing FOIA requests for logs and documents relating to the election to see if they can find evidence of any chicanery.
My thought to identify problems would be to compare exit poll numbers from computer voting locations to those without and see if the discrepancy (of which there is bound to be some) is different between the two. For example if in non computer polling locations the error was +/-5 compared to actual and in places that used a particular type of computer voting machine that leaves no paper trail the error was consistently in one direction, say between 0% and +10% for one candidate, then you might look there for evidence of chicanery.

Democrats taking consolation in the idea that Bush will have to continue to answer for his policies rather than have a president that has to clean up after Bush. The Daily Kos suggests that this will make for good mid terms.
This is the wrong attitude. This is the attitude of elite superiority (ever wonder why people voted against us). We need a leadership based on solid principles and philosophy. We need to distill that philosophy to form sound public policy. If the policy you derive from that seems too radical you should not compromise the policy or the principle, but instead look at which principles you failed to incorporate from which you can still distill sound policy.
What are the principles and philosophy liberals should use to lead this country with?

We’ve figured out that Terry isn’t getting the job done for the Democrats. The Daily Kos suggests Howard Dean. I like that idea.
Howard Dean connected with people. People wanted to follow him. They were desperate for a leader and they found it in him. His primary melt down was rather interesting and I think he should have fought harder before giving his famous yell. He understood something fundamental, people are hungry for a leader. They are hungry for someone who will speak to them and will follow you rabidly when you do. That crowd of rabid followers will bring the rest in to the fold.
I see it as the Apple and Microsoft fight in the Democratic party. Dean was the Apple. His followers really really wanted him to win. Kerry was the Microsoft. People voted for him because they lacked what they perceive as a better choice. This works well in a closed environment where those are the only two players. On the other hand after you win that battle you have to fight the next one, the fight with the Republicans (I don’t have an appropriate metaphor for them yet). In that fight the Democrats fled the party in key states. Lack of leadership.
Dean brings that leadership quality.
I imagine the RNC isn’t thinking about changing leadership under any circumstances save possibly retirement, and even then if I were the party I wouldn’t accept resignation after this victory.

Well, it’s the day after and we don’t have a President Elect, but let’s be honest, it’s not looking good for Kerry.
It’s coming down to how many provisional ballots there are in Ohio and how many votes he gets before there’s less ballots than the lead. The numbers I hear are from 100,000 ballots (not enough) to 250,000. If there really are 250,000 there’s enough ballots to hold out hope, but I’m not counting on it.
In other news the Republicans have widened leads in the House and Senate. The thing I notice about this is the profound disconnect between the liberals and conservatives. The liberals just really don’t believe people are that conservative. The reality seems to be that people in this country have a definite sense of right and wrong. Their sense of what’s right doesn’t include millions of Americans. It’s become clear from this election and the states that voted on the issue that homosexuality just isn’t accepted the way some people would like to believe it is.
I think that this election shows that the DLC’s approach of trying to gain control of the middle ground is not working for them. In many of the swing states they won the independents but still lost. In Florida Kerry won 57% of the independents but only 85% of the Democrats. The Democrats Kerry didn’t carry in Florida was 5% of the vote there. I’m going to guess at this point that the Democrats he lost to Bush he lost because he never connected with them on policy issues and never convinced them that we really needed a change.
Kerry just totally failed in the Tampa area. Bush won Hillsborough by 7% and Pinellas was a tie. From my experience these two counties are generally what I’d consider moderate counties. There isn’t the rabid conservatism that I’ve seen in places like Charlotte, NC or the liberal bastions of Boston or San Francisco. This area is mostly filled with people who are just trying to get from one day to the next.
Where do the Democrats go from here? The Republicans have made the issue values. The Democrats need to define their values. The values of liberty, of not having all the answers, of live and let live. At the same time they need to show a personal sense of values. They need to appear that they share the same values as most Americans. That’s a tough sell.
Where to the liberals go from here? In a way it depends on what the party does. While the DLC points to Clinton as proof of success of their plan I think Clinton could have won with almost any strategy. He was Bill freakin Clinton, nothing stuck to this guy. On the other hand they have Gore and now Kerry as losses. Both of them dramatic for a number of reasons. If the national party sticks with the DLC plan then I believe they need to work from the ground up again and start to make their push locally. We’ve seen what the DLC has done for local races. They have been loosing in the House, Senate and Governors races. This is the place for the liberals to make their mark and show leadership again. This is where they can affect the public perception of truly liberal policies for the country and being to actually lead instead of follow.
The democrats have a crisis of leadership, and it’s bad. The only hope for them is Charisma. People should be talking about Edwards/Obama ‘08 soon.

With Chief Justice Rehnquist in the hospital, and his chances not looking good, I thought it would be a good time to review what I’ve learned.
If Rehnquist can not participate in a case and it’s 4-4 then the lower court ruling stands but no precedent is set.
If Rehnquist resigns Bush could appoint a justice using a recess appointment who could then make the deciding vote.
Already the challenges are coming in.

I’ve been hearing about some precinct troubles today. In particular one of the largest universities in Florida has four voting machines. It suddenly hit me that with electronic voting you shouldn’t have to vote in a particular precinct.
When I voted early they had voting machines setup in public libraries as opposed to precincts. I voted in a library in my county but which was in a different congressional district. Through the joy that is computers they were able to easily give me the right choices.
I wonder how much poor areas would get short changed during elections if there were people bringing busses of people in to the rich areas to vote where there were plenty of machines.

This is from an email I sent out in response to talk of Democratic voter suppression. It happens on both sides, but I found these on one side..

I just heard a Badnarik commercial on CNN. I can’t believe he’s got the money to run a commercial like that. The bulk of it was that if you can’t vote for Kerry vote for Badnarik. It was run by his campaign with the “I approve this message” bit at the end. I wonder what democratic group is supporting him.

Internet Vets for Truth has a nice little collection of videos. Clips include Eminem’s Mosh and Jon Stewart’s Crossfire appearance. It documents some classic lines like
“You’re hurting America”
“How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?”
“I believe the title was ‘Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States’.”
