The Democratic Party Calls Out Fox News!

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is launching a new campaign to respond to the spin from conservative news outlets expected to follow President Obama's State of the Union address.

In a new mailer sent out Wednesday to the committee's four-million member e-mail list, supporters are invited to join the new "State of the Union 'Fact Check FOX' Team."

"This group of Democratic Party activists will stand at the ready to counter the lies and distortions that erupt from the rightwing media and Republican spin doctors like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck following President Obama's State of the Union address on Wednesday night," the e-mail pitch says.

The DCCC is inviting members to send text messages, e-mails or use Facebook or Twitter to fact check the pundits weighing in after the speech.

Supporters who sign up for the program will also receive "rapid response fact check text alerts." The DCCC is aiming to recruit 5,000 new members to the fact-check team by midnight.

In addition to conservative heavyweights like Beck and Palin, former Bush adviser Karl Rove, Democratic strategist Joe Trippi and Fox News's Sean Hannity will contribute to the Fox News analysis after the president's address.

People in the 21st Century are still living on 20th Century ideals!

As the new year continues, the first year of President Barack Obama has been somewhat disappointing. The support for Barack Obama is declining, and I getting the feeling that hoping for "Change We Can Believe In" will be delayed by the opposition of people who continue to live their lives like it's still the 20th Century. The Democrats and the Republicans are the main distraction to the agenda that President Obama wants to accomplish.

The first African American to be elected president was the biggest achievement in American race relations. However, being the first, all the scrutiny and the blame seems to rest on his feet. I have seen some of the worst from critics who simply oppose Obama. His policies are no different than any other president, however me thinks that once again the ugly "elephant in the room" will continue to haunt the very reason why our country is divided. And it reminds me of the continuation of the lack of intelligence from conservatives and even liberals, a political base that drove in numbers to put Barack Obama in the White House.

I must admit that we still have a long way to go before anyone can say "race isn't an issue anymore!"

Channeling my inner soul, I reflect on the 1990s when then former governor from the state of Arkansas, William Jefferson Clinton, wanted to have the same progressive agenda as his predecessor. The Republicans allied with its conservative activists and lobbyists continued to stand in the way, turn the debates into "trivial issues". Forgotten the days that President George Herbert Walker Bush created a economic recession, was slow on the draw when it came to a disastrous and costly hurricane, a race riot in one of the busiest cities in America, a war in the Middle East and government spending.

When President Clinton started, Republicans voided Bush and pressed Reagan. This same strategy continues today. Republicans and its allies stress that President Ronald Reagan handled solutions better than some "hippy loving, gun taking, tax increasing liberal elitist!" If you elect us, we promise to "take the government out of your life, bring cuts to government programs, keep your guns, religion and hold government responsible!" It worked, and the Republicans won control of Congress.

Now the same 20th Century Republicans are trying to use the same ideas to distract the public into thinking that President Obama failed and their leadership is the only way to save America.

Of course, they'll be driven on the momentum that Americans are so sick of government.

The Republicans are trying their hardest to win support of the "angry white male", "the frighten housewife", "the gun owners who fear their guns will be confiscated", "the business community who fears that environmentalists agenda" and "the Christian activists who opposes homosexuality!"

Democrats who lean conservative fear losing their seats, will either retire or switch parties.

I believe that if Republicans should gain control of Congress, they pat each other on the back and thank Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck for helping them control the media and debate.

Republicans are opposed to just about half of the policies the president pressed. And this will continue into the elections. Prominent Democrats are trying to get as much done, before the tidal wave of opposition sweeps them out the Congress. The biggest fear Democrats have is the lack of interest. With unemployment at an all time high, the public sours on President Obama. The war in Afghanistan is becoming a growing opposition. A failed terrorist attack, drove the domestic agenda back to international terrorism. As the health care debate is wrapping up, the most important pieces to pass reform were stripped by the party in power. Progressives and independents who lean Democratic are fumed over policies not met by the president and Congress.

Republicans will likely win seats. However they will not capture Congress! Or could I be wrong?

THE DEMOCRATIC FRONTRUNNERS TURN CHICKEN!

Democrats: Time To Panic!

What could be worse for the party in power? The president's polls, the Democrats trying to gather support for health care reform, or the fact that members of their party are retiring!

With prominent Democrat retirings, the Republicans want to seize opportunity to retake the Congress.

Senators Chris Dodd (D-Connecticut), Bryon Dorgan (D-North Dakota), Governor Bill Ritter (D-Colorado), Congressman Bart Gordon (D-Tennessee), Congressman Neil Abercrombie (D-Hawaii), Congressman Brian Baird (D-Washington), Congressman John Tanner (D-Tennessee), Congressman Dennis Moore (D-Kansas), and Robert Wexler (D-Florida) are leaving the political spotlight.

Congressman Parker Griffith of Alabama, is now a Republican. The congressman switched parties after criticizing the Democratic agenda in December 2009. More misfortunes trouble Democrats. The ailing Senator Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia) is not appearing for role call, and Senator Joe Lieberman (I-Connecticut) is a thorn in the Democratic agenda.

The Democratic Party is fearing the political tidal wave of anger from supporters and critics. Right now, Republicans feel the momentum of the tea party protests, the resentment of government spending and the economic woes as a ticket to victory.

Although, most of the problems solely rest on the former President George W. Bush's doorstep, a slew of conservative activists (ranging from Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Matt Drudge, Michelle Malkin, RedState, Fox News, WorldNetDaily, Newsmax, etc.) will continue to press their agenda to the Republicans and then to the masses.

President Obama's job approvals are in the low 50s and some are in the high 40s. That's not good. Some of the problems do reside with reasonable concerns (federal spending, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, high unemployment, economic woes, and lack of interest), the sole reasons for Republican rage is basically racism. And it's so blatant, I even went as far to make a video criticizing the conservatives running around with this "Socialist" crap.

What's your take on the issues?
