In the midst of the current battle between the "leftist" grassroots and the "moderate" DLC, this article interjects a missing link. Political leadership is not about mimicry of "tough" positions, nor is it about reactionary complaints and bomb-throwing. It is about the attitude of power.
Liberal talk radio hosts, including the new liberal talk network Air America Radio, are eating up the market share of conservative talkers quicker than Rush Limbaugh eats up Oxycontin.
Some have said that the Democratic Party is imploding. Is this an accurate assessment or just the wishful thinking of partisan activists? There is ample evidence to show that the Bush administration and Republican Congressional leaders have plenty of reason to be worried.
The Karl Rove scandal continues to expand and become more damaging with each passing day. Rove's supporters are blissfully unaware that they are associating themselves and their political movement with a man and an operation that has intentionally and purposefully conferred great benefit on Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, and the terrorists who killed thousands on 9-11.
The most damaging baggage nominee Roberts will have entering his confirmation hearings is the amicus brief he filed on behalf of Operation Rescue, a known domestic, terrorist organization, many of whose members have the stated goals of: breaking the law with violence (including blowing up abortion clinics), killing and intimidating doctors who perform abortions, and intimidating women and blocking their access to the clinics that provide safe abortions.
Republicans must defend 24 of 38 Governor's seats (including 6 up-for-grabs, mega-state seats, that represent half the US population).
The scandal swirling around Karl Rove continues to widen. As the GOP continues to mount a "defense" for Rove, it becomes apparent that without Rove to write the talking points, the party is in deep trouble.
Liberal talk radio hosts, including Air America Radio, trended ahead of Rush Limbaugh in key Florida demographics.
Calls of treason on both sides are overdone but Karl Rove's actions come close.
