Make the Bush Record the Issue

Hmm. Morning after, I'll state this again;

I think Newsweek has engaged in political censorship on this blog. I had a well constructed, respectful, comment written that directly countered Mr. Kos, and Newsweek's philosophy in general. When submitted, a comment came back , "Your comment cannot be submitted at this time. Please try again later". After a few dozen 'laters', and two+ hours, I gave up. My other brief comments were accepted.. Other bloggers evidently had no problem. I can't help but wonder, is Newsweek so insecure that they cannot accept counter comments? And being a computer professional, if there were 'technical' problems, I would like to hear those...

About that 11% approval. That's asked about all of Congress. People elected the Democrats to end the war. But with an insane man for president, and Mitch McConnell pulling every corrupt parliamentary maneuver possible, they haven't been able to do that. That's why "Congress" is as popular as ants at a picnic. And when people condemn Congress, they condemn the Republicans in the Senate even more. The thing to watch is the generic Democrat vs. Republican preference, and that's when you guys are in epic trouble. So if you want to wake up on January 20, 2009 with 58 Democrats in the Senate, and an even bigger majority in the House, just keep your guys voting for more war, more destruction, and more and more trouble for America. With big majorities and a Democratic president, just watch approval climb.

ApolloKnowsNothing, People aren't going to be fooled by that crap from the Republic's, 70% of America want's us OUT OF IRAQ and the Republicans in Congress are OBSTRUCTING and alot more of them are going to lose their jobs in 08.
No matter what you say or do the Republic Party is RESPONIBLE for the last seven years of failed pilicies and broken laws (Karl Rove) and you're going to pay for it by losing the Presidential race in 08.
It's time for the Neocon nuts to go away for awhile....

Comment: Would you prefer Adolph Giuliani's views on gay marriage?, the Repugs are full of crap again, they've got nothing but the same old fear and smear tactics to run on." You probably have no idea of the profound irony there.

Well, trying to make Bush the issue, even though he is not running for anything, would be better for democrats than making the democrat congress's "Record of Accomplishment" the issue as there is no democrat congress's "Record of Accomplishment". Yup, you should probably go with that alright.. Good idea..

Oh my..... how narrow minded can one be to oppose Mrs. Clinton because of gay marriage? Why would anyone care about gay marriage who is not gay? This is a Karl Rove-invented wedge issue and for some reason that I can not fathom seems to work on otherwise normal people. Maybe you prefer Mitt Romney who backed gay marriage when he run for Mass. governor and opposes it now?

Would you prefer Adolph Giuliani's views on gay marriage?, the Repugs are full of crap again, they've got nothing but the same old fear and smear tactics to run on.

I'd like to hear the GOoPers tell us what new they have to offer us that isn't a continuation of Bush/Cheney?

Hillary hasn't been the Prez the last seven years...a-holes

What's hilarious is that the Clinton machine will make certain she's the nominee, and if I was an Obama, I'd honestly be looking over my shoulder (over concern for both my political and physical life). Hillary's entire life, marriage, etc. have been about her becoming president. The sad truth for libs is that she's unelectable. At least you admit that your party prays for negative developments in hopes of winning by default, not issues.

This is worrisome; I have been trying to post a well thought through comment for a couple of hours. It is well written, just not flattering for Kos or Newsweek.

I very much appears that Newsweek is practicing censoring of comments. Anyone else ever seen this kind of behavior?

Seems if on enters a comment here that is not very flattering to Newsweek, it does not get posted. Respectable comment, just not flattering.

I think biased "news" reporting is gettign out of hand.

I agree with Markos, I don't think either Bush or Regan will be elected next year. Nice job Newsweek, it seems as though your star from the intertubes is fighting the last war. He lost that one if you will remember.

Congratulations Newsweek, bagging the leftwing Koz will shore things up nicely. And to Mr. Koz, I too believe the Dems will make more political inroads in 2008, mostly due to Iraq. But I differ when you suggest that turning out GOPer's means that Americans want regressive Liberal policy circa 1976. Since 1980, the economy has been operating very well under polices that are largely rightwing while the government and all its resources under the realm of the redistributionist left. Any outrage over government shortcomings is to ignore government shortcomings in general (Big Dig, N.O. levies, NYC infrastructure, literacy rates in Chicago, NY, Boston, Hoboken et al???public schools, Brooklyn???s Farragut Houses, Chicago???s Robert Taylor housing project, CIA/FBI wall Frank Church Hearings, Stagflation, hot coffee lawsuits, Sarajevo, Rwanda???, do you really want to debate this?). Additionally, the empirical case for socialism is Europe and most of Asia, both are embracing policies more of Reagan than Obama, with success.

kimoco,
I will declare victory when the government of Iraq has a monopoly on the use of force, meaning that the militias are substantially dissolved or absorbed into govt forces. I realize that U.N. forces will have to stay a while longer to help Iraq defend its boarders. But in effect that will really be only a victory lap!

When bush announced his plan to improve airline travel this past week, I had to chuckle. Think of it. This is the man described in this column who has done so many, many marvelous things in his time in office. I say look out airlines and travelers--bad winds ahead!
