NEIL KINNOCK at Welsh Labour Party conference May 1987:
"Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Was it because our predecessors were thick? Does anybody really think that they didn't get what we had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment? Of course not. It was because there was no platform upon which they could stand"
JOE BIDEN IN Sept 1987 during his first presidential campaign:

A memoir by Senator Joe Biden, once as forgotten as his presidential run, is now a best seller. A day after Senator Barack Obama chose Biden as his running mate for the Democratic ticket, Biden’s “Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics” was in the top 10 on Barnes & Noble.com and in the top 40 on Amazon.com.
It was so in demand that today it was listed as out of stock by both booksellers. The Random House Publishing Group released the memoir in the summer of 2007, several months after... Read Full Story

By Michael Moore For years now, nearly every poll has shown that the American people are right in sync with the platform of the Democratic Party. They are pro-environment, pro-women's rights and pro-choice. They don't like war. They want the minimum wage raised, and they want a single-payer universal health-care system. The American public agrees with the Republican Party on only one major issue: They support the death penalty. So you would think the Democrats would be cleaning up, election... Read Full Story
The Republican strategy during this election has been a stroke of genius. They know damn well that they can’t focus on issues or candidate integrity, so what’s left for them to do? Shock and awe. You all remember that catch phrase from the beginning of the Iraq debacle right? That’s the strategy where everything but the kitchen sink is thrown at the target with the intent to illicit feelings of “shock and awe.” Which is exactly what the GOP campaign is doing in their desperate attempt to...

With about another fifty days, give or take, until America makes a choice on the direction they want their country to go in the next four years, I can’t help but feel a bit anxious about the repercussions of making the wrong choice. It is abundantly clear to me that Barack Obama and Joe Biden will put America back on track again and their becoming the head of the executive branch will help heal the wounds our country has inflicted upon itself over the last eight years. What baffles me is... Read Full Story
There were many inspirational moments at the DNC, started by a "never gonna hold me down or keep me away" speech given the first night of the convention by an ailing Ted Kennedy.

THAT'S how important this election is. The other... Read Full Story
I realize it’s just my personal opinion, one that is shared by countless numbers of people, both republican and democrat and I damn sure have a right to express it. Because EVERYONE is entitled to MY opinion.. Deal with it. Barack Obama WILL be the next president of the United States. Deal with it. I trust his judgment, and his ability to navigate what are often troubling political waters without losing sight of our ultimate destination. Deal with it. I admire his determination, and believe...

When elected president, Barack Obama said one of the first things he wants to do is ensure the constitutionality of all the laws and executive orders passed while Republican President George W. Bush has been in office. Those that don’t pass muster will be overturned, he said. During a fund-raiser in Denver, Obama — a former constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School — was asked what he hoped to accomplish during his first 100 days in office. “I would call my...
