For those who missed this week’s “The David Goldstein Show” (Newsradio 710-KIRO, Sunday nights from 7PM to 10PM,) the commercial-free podcasts are now available for your offline listening pleasure.
Hour 1: Are we on the brink of an historic military defeat in Iraq? Philip Gold is a former Senior Fellow in National Security Affairs at the conservative Seattle-based think tank the Discovery Institute. He predicted a Jihadist terrorist attack on US soil months before 9/11, and was one of the first prominent conservatives to warn that an Iraq invasion would lead to disaster. Now he fears that our current foreign policy could lead to our biggest ground defeat since the loss of the Philippines in 1942. Tune in and find out why this “former lifelong Republican” will be voting a straight Democratic ticket.
Hour 2: Q&A with Darcy and Peter. Two of the hottest House races in the nation are right here in Washington state, and both Democratic challengers, Darcy Burner and Peter Goldmark, joined me to talk about the election and their legislative agenda.
Hour 3: Do you believe what you read in the papers? Well, maybe the comics. Former Seattle Weekly columnist Geov Parrish came into the studio to give his kiss-and-tell account of the alt-weekly’s recent political purge, and to join me in ragging on the local media in general. Believe it or not, we had some harsh things to say about the Seattle Times editorial board. Go figure.
We will soon make full archives available online at PodcastingLiberally.com, where you can always find my weekly podcast for the Seattle chapter of Drinking Liberally.

Two weeks until the election, and I keep waiting for the Republican’s promised “October Surprise” to drop.
So far, only the “leak” from the House that they suspended a Democratic staffer on charges that he leaked intelligence reports to the press. Republican lawmakers acted outraged at the “Democratic disregard to national security, etc., etc.”.
But if this was supposed to be a bomb, it went off more like a cap gun.
The problem is that the Republicans don’t have any credibility left to make such charges.
In the first place, the public and the news media is very skeptical about whether the charges are true in the first place, coming just two weeks before the election. It smacks of typical Rovian electoral politics – make a damaging accusation shortly before an election, smear anyone who expresses doubts about the allegation, and then ride it through the election. After all, when the truth is made clear months later, it will be burried in the back pages of the papers.
Secondly, given the apparant contradictions between what the military and professional intelligence agencies are saying in their reports about the situation in Iraq and what the Republicans are saying, the public is more inclined to reward a leaker which tells them the truth, than to punish them and reward the liars who try to cover up the truth.
If the Republicans still have an arrow in their quiver, they had better shoot it now. Snohomish County is now on a mail-in ballot only system. I received mine over the weekend, and filled it out and put it in the mail yesterday. The election campaign is over. What we have now is an extended two-week “get out the vote” campaign, instead of a one day campaign that we were accustomed to in the past.

Two weeks before the midterm elections, Republicans are losing the battle for independent voters, who now strongly favor Democrats on Iraq and other major issues facing the country and overwhelmingly prefer to see them take over the House in November, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The new poll underscores how much of a drag the war threatens to be on Republican candidates in competitive races. With debate underway in Washington about possible course changes in Iraq, Americans cite the war as the most important issue in determining their vote next month more often than any other issue, and those who do favor Democrats over Republicans by 76 percent to 21 percent.
Independents are poised to play a pivotal role in next month’s elections because Democrats and Republicans are basically united behind candidates of their own parties. Ninety-five percent of Democrats said they will support Democratic candidates for the House, while slightly fewer Republicans, 88 percent, said they plan to vote for their party’s candidates.
The independent voters surveyed said they plan to support Democratic candidates over Republicans by roughly 2 to 1 — 59 percent to 31 percent — the largest margin in any Post-ABC News poll this year. Forty-five percent said it would be good if Democrats recaptured the House majority, while 10 percent said it would not be. The rest said it would not matter.

Commentators are worried that Rush Limbaugh is either on drugs or acting when he came out against Michael J. Fox and his adds supporting Stem Cell research.
“We have no idea why Rush is doing this” said one conservative insider. “Sure, his lies usually help us, but in this case, he is bringing to the center a issue that we are clearly wrong on, and kicking a person with Parkinson’s to make his point. How that is supposed to help us keep a dolt like Jim Talent in office is beyond us,” said the source. “One has to wonder if Rush is back on drugs, or just trying to act and be funny.”

WASHINGTON STATE
Incumbent Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell led Republican Mike McGavick by 52-37 percent, increasing her lead from 50-40 percent three weeks before.
Cantwell had the highest favorable rating – 48 percent – of any candidate in the battleground states.
Washington state is hostile to Republicans this year, giving some of the lowest approval ratings to Bush (34 percent) and Congress (22 percent).
Iraq is the top issue, followed by the economy and jobs in a distant second place. Terrorism lags behind in seventh place. Iraq voters support Cantwell by a ratio of 8-1.
HOW WE POLL
The McClatchy-MSNBC Poll is a snapshot of voter opinion at the time it was conducted. It is not a prediction of how people will vote on Election Day.
http://www.realcities.com/mld/.....835439.htm
Its looking worse and worse for the GOP. And they are stuck with their “Stay the Course” campaign. I would have thought that Karl Rove, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, &c. would have come up with something better after all this time than a continuation of the “Fear Itself” campaign.

Dude, McGavick was toast once those primary results came out. I’ll go on the record as betting the percentage breakdown goes like this:
Cantwell: 52
McGavick: 43
Guthrie: 3
Dixon: 2
And once again, the state GOP muffs a statewide race at the top of the ticket. Awesome job, dudes. That plus a state Senate seat or two, plus Darcy, plus continued control of the House is what I’d be happy with- add in Goldmark (who I still think is a Hail Mary, but maybe a 40 yard one now instead of an 80 yard one) and I’d be ecstatic.

Bush’s “Stay the Course” mantra has now officially been changed to “Whatever.” In announcing this shift, the primary presidential prevaricator, Tony Snow, stated that, “We feel this new characterization of our Iraq strategy provides us with the flexibility necessary to adapt to political winds and trends here at home. We feel that the Democrats have unfairly and maliciously demanded that we have some articulable and principled position concerning our Iraq strategy. Such demands fail to recognize that the president’s most important task is to ensure a continuing Republican majority.”

Republicans looking for a “hot button” issue are still trying to flog the “illegal immigrants” issue. But they have to be careful, because lots of their important financial backers don’t want to cut out illegal immigrants. They want the cheap labor, and to keep the price of labor down generally.
So they spend their time making a lot of noise about it, and finally pass legislation to build a 700+ mile fence on the border with Mexico. Of course, they didn’t appropriate any significant money with which to build the fence, and left the details to the Bush administration to decide, with the option to use a “technological fence” (i.e., cameras, sensors, and drones), instead of a physical fence. You know, Maria Cantwell’s proposal which McGavick tried to ricicule in his ads.
So while they have something they can point to to claim that they did something about the “problem”, they really didn’t do anything that isn’t already in progress. They approved a fence which is not a fence, which only stretches across about 20% of the border, but didn’t give anyone the money with which to build it, and left open the option of not building it at all.
On top of that, the whole idea of a fence of this type is ludicrus, for the following reasons:
First, no ten-foot fence has ever been build that can’t be beat with a twelve foot ladder, or a pair of wire clippers.
Second, building a 700+ mile fence on our border with Mexico is, as Jay Leno pointed out, like building a 30 mile bridge to Hawaii.
Third, as military professionals well knows, there is no fence, fortification, or entrenchment which cannot be beat if you don’t allow for sufficient manpwer to man it. Such a barrier only allows you to somewhat reduce your manpower, but it does not replace it.
Fourth, what are you going to do with the people who try to breach the fence? Wait until they get to our side, then arrest them and send them back to try again tomorrow night? Or perhaps put them in jail for a year while they are waiting for their hearing, then convict them of trying to enter the country illegally, sentence them to time served, and then deport them after paying for guarding them, feeding them, and giving them medical treatment and shelter for a year? Or perhaps you want us to adopt the E. German approach – mines, automated machine guns, etc. to kill any men, women, or children who stip across the wire? I can imagine the first phots of the kid who died trying to retrieve his pet puppy who ran through the fence.

From the DSCC:
* Dems Hold Largest Head-to-Head Margin in Two Decades. The ABC/WP survey gives Democrats a 54%-41% lead over Republicans, the highest level of Dem preference in this survey this close to Election Day since 1984. Dems also lead among independents (59%-31%) and men (54%-42). The Cook Political Report survey gives Dems a 57%-35% lead among most likely voters.
* By a 20-Point Margin, Dems are Much More Enthusiastic About Midterms. 69% of Dems call the 2006 midterms more important than other congressional elections in their lifetime, versus just 49% of Republicans. (ABC/WP)
* Dems’ Early Voter Contact Effort Is Paying Off. As many registered voters say, they’ve been contacted on behalf of a Democratic candidate as often as on behalf of a Republican candidate (about two in 10 in both cases). And the Democratic calls seems better targeted: People who’ve been solicited on behalf of a Democratic candidate favor the Democrat in their district by a 45-point margin; people who’ve been contacted on behalf of a Republican prefer the Republican by a narrower 19 points. (ABC/WP)
* Dems Lead On Every Issue. The ABC/Post poll has Dems leading on every issue, including terror (+1), Iraq (+8), North Korea (+7), ethics (+13) and the economy (+9). Almost two-thirds of independents disapprove of Iraq, including a quarter of Republicans. Of the nearly 60% of registered voters who oppose the war in Iraq, more than three quarters say they favor Democrats for Congress. (ABC/WP)
* Bush’s Numbers Sink Again. Bush approval ratings fell another five points this month to 37%, his second-lowest approval rating ever in the ABC/Post poll. Even worse: Nearly twice as many registered voters say they’ll cast their ballot as a way to show opposition to the president (31 percent) as to support him (17 percent). (ABC/WP)

And to revise and extend my remarks, this is why I like Lind:
http://www.d-n-i.net/lind/lind_4_14_04.htm
The money shot (note this was written over 2 and a half years ago):
So what comes next? The current violence may follow a sine wave, ebbing and then flowing again, with the whole curve gradually trending up. Or, it may rise in a linear, accelerating curve, in which case we will soon be driven out of Iraq, possibly in a full-scale sauve que peut rout. The former appears more likely, but it still leads to the same ending, if taking a bit more time to get there.
Unlike traditional twelve-course dinners, this one does not finish with a dessert or a savoury. It ends, to borrow one of John Boyd’s favorite phrases, with the “coalition” getting the whole enchilada right up the p— chute. You cannot get anything you want at Mohammed’s restaurant.

Gee, a Republican candidate for Congress turns out to be a lying sack of shit! Why, I never would have guessed! I wonder why Stefan isn’t covering this in his pathetic little blog. I guess Stefan is extremely selective in his definition of “voting fraud” huh? Stefan is nothing but a partisan hack like me.
But I’m actually better than Stefan and his ilk, because I don’t condone lying, corruption, and fraud when it happens among Democrats. As soon as Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA) was caught with a refrigerator full of cold (and illicit) cash, I posted on HA that his sorry thieving ass should be kicked out of Congress and thrown in jail! If Gregoire had stolen the 2004 election, I’d be demanding that she step down!
You’ll never see Stefan or other wingnut apologists for lying, corruption, and fraud do that. When Republicans are caught voting twice, voting dead people’s ballots, hacking voting machines, or perpetrating electoral dirty tricks like the “Hispanics go to jail for voting” letter in California, they pretend it didn’t happen, sweep it under the rug, lie about it — or try to blame it on the Democrats!

That’s because reaching out to independent voters is expensive and chancy. You’ll note that businesses, when they take over other businesses, aren’t interested in attracting customer dollars with innovative and value-based products and services: they usually try to flood the unemployment pool with outsourcing and add on a slew of fees and higher prices to punish the loyal.
The GOP tried being the party of fair-minded middle-class people. Then they figured that a rich fratboy-failure with a coke & alcohol past was the best person to lead them, even though there are 300 million US citizens. But fair-minded people don’t see value in electronic voting machines that can be tampered with. Middle-class people don’t see value in the top 1% receiving the bulk of tax cuts. If the truth hurts (global warming, peak oil) the GOP won’t do anything about it unless it involves keeping people uneducated or denying benefits. But lots of middle-class people see they need to be educated. The cost of living is rising and they need their
benefits.
It’s cheaper and more effective for the GOP to limit the # of people voting than it is for them to clean themselves up, make examples of their most shameful miscreants and criminals, tell the corporations they won’t be bought, and reach out to new thinking independent voters. The thinking independents are turning Green, Libertarian, or Democrat.

If the Bushites want an accurate term for their “strategy” in Iraq, how about “screwing the pooch”, or perhaps “upward failure”.
Note the absolutely consistent doublethink: the White House reports that they’re changing the “tactics” and intend to try and accellerate the process of getting things to where the Iraqui “government” (or whatever you want to call our hand-picked stooges) can handle things on its own. Right after that, the highest-ranking officer on the ground comes out and says that to do that, they’re going to need MORE TROOPS. Evidently they hope the voters are going to buy this upside-down logic for the next two weeks, while they in fact escalate this war and get ready to start another one in Iran.

Sure he is. McGavick has come out for “private accounts.” We already have private accounts. They’re called IRAs, Roths, Keoghs, and 401(k)s. The difference is McGavick wants to fund private accounts with Social Security taxes. If that’s not “privatizing” Social Security, I don’t know what is, because it takes money away from retirees and gives it to Wall Street. Fucking liar!
I assume McGavick’s arugment goes something like this. The Social Security program would still be run be the government, so he’s not “privatizing it.” Only its money would be privatized, and there wouldn’t be any benefits.
I guess it depends on what your definition of “privatizing” is.

Ah, yes. The ex wife would have no ax to grind at all. Nooooo. She is unbiased and only tells the truth. Her motives are completely altruistic. She can be believed simply because her position seems to favor the WingNuts and their wild accusations.
Now, sit down and shut the fuck up. You are nothing but a partisan hack. Cantwell will win going away. McGavick can go back to drinking and driving. The drinking won’t make him a better absentee father, but it will help him forget, at least momentarily, what huge piece of shit he really is.
Funny how that works.

Pullinghispuddypud,
Why are reading the spam? Us liberals recognize it and skip over it without reading it. Perhaps you need some dingle in your dangle?
Mr Ed spews:
Cum back to my stall dear Puddy. CynnicalIDIOT and MWS are already here. Just like old times, three koolaid drinking, condom sucking and inbred predators with a very liberal (and liberally hung) stallion.
ps: bring yo boyz and I can dress up as MAF

My Left Foot–
So open the file and let the WHOLE truth come out my friend.
Dotzauer is in trouble with:
1) IRS
2) PDC
3) Back Child Support
Cantwell loaned him $50K
Dotzauer admits laundering NON-DEDUCTIBLE contributions thru his Lobbying Firm.
Get the info out and let the truth prevail.

LeftOUT @ 66, I am quite sure that in the history of this ‘once great’ (and it will be great again once the Dems start to clean up the Repub cesspools) Nation, there has never been a NeoCON Wingnut caught with their fingers in the cookie jar or their pants down. 13 days then the journey to regain stolen freedoms and protect the US Constitution begins.

Mt. Rainier–
You minimize once again what happened here.
Nice try.
MtRainier spews:
MyLeftNut, seems like you maximize what you think happened there.
My Left Foot spews:
Is My Left Nut supposed to be My Left Foot? Um, I am the card carrying Liberal, Democrat, Jew, Patriot here at HA. I think you meant Leftoutofhismind.
