I'm shocked I tell you, shocked! /sarcasm

Am somewhat shcoked you can consider yourself a democrat. From what I can tell of your value system, you are 180 out from the democrat party, particularly in MA.

"A pessimist sees difficulty at every opportunity, an optimist sees opportunity at every difficulty." is not a democrat slogan.

Let me take this up a notch, as it belongs under partisn politics....
Tomorrow Gen Petreus will present his report on Iraq, and the dems are all ready plainning to bury him.. The adjunct orginzation moeon.org plans to run a full page add in the NYTs and call him a traitor. (I wonder if the NYTs gave moveon.org a cut rate deal)
This is sad. Gen Petreus is among the best and brightest. He easily outclasses 95% of the senate and 98% of the house. He has a PhD from Princeton, but still wears his Master Parachutist and Air Assault wings. A PhD with the guts to jump out of perfectly good airplanes. And the left wants to trash him and call him a traitor because he will tell them something they don't want to hear, even though they are the ones that requested he make the report No wonder we have lost the will to excell. We tear the good ones down.

For a read on what good men the US can produce.

Well-placed righteous indignation, Chris - nothing is safe from politicization, is it?

The way the Iraq report is being handled is the worse thing I've seen since Cary gave his testimony. Fortunately I was in-country at the time and have only seen it on tape.

The movies are nothing more than propoganda. And I'll bet you a bottle of Jack that the Michael Moore movie about healthcare reappears next year. This is all geared for the 2008 election. It's going to get very ugly next year.

This is truely history repeating itself.
And the media is even worse then last time, they don't even pretend to be neutral. They let the dems say or do whatever they want.

I didnt see that new Michael Moore film but from the reviews I read and the clips I saw it was just one big commercial for "Hillaycare" -socialized medicine. Can you image our govt running our health care ssytem Now that is really scary!!

Humbleman,
You should be ashamed of yourself. If this incident finally wakes you up then that's great.
I was once a Democrat but woke up when I saw the likes of Kennedy, Kerry, Dean, Clinton, Pelosi, Moveon.org, Ted Turner, Hanoi Jane, Moore and the rest of the Hollywood crowd polluting the party with their too far left politics and anti American rants.
This isn't your JFK party anymore. These rat bastards are so far left that they are more right then the Republicans. They will have us marching lock step down Mass Av celebrating Taliban Day!
I know this is a long shot but I hope Ogonoski wins his district. We need more people like him.

FYI Jeiskah Please read tho whole post -For the past four years, Jim Ogonowski of Dracut has been asked to speak at this ceremony He wasnt invited this year and it is be taken as a crass partisian ploy because he is running as a R for Marty Meehans old seat There are just to many coincedances to believe other wise

Jeisikah...because his name is conspicuously OFF the list of speakers? Because he publically asked why? I'd suggest that this one is such an agregious Massachusetts partisan act, even the LIBERAL press is reporting it!! They are quoting the ORGANIZERS. He was cut out.....

You can't be THIS naive.....

Jeisikah, are you serious? Oh, wait....maybe you are just one of those democrats who are so blinded you can't see when your party does something wrong. Since I live in the 5th congressional district there has been much more coverage of this issue than in the Boston papers. This exclusion is so offensive that even Ogonowski's political opponent ( a democrat) spoke out against it. It would appear that Ognowski himself, has far too much class to sink to the depths of the democrats in this state. He is quoted in the local paper as saying that while he was disappointed and saddened by the exclusion, he believes that this day should be about the victims and their families and not about politics. Too bad our Massachusetts democratic politicians can't learn something from that. I am saddened by the decision of the Governor to exclude this intelligent, well spoken man and replace him with a career politician who has done nothing but break promises to the 5th congressional district. It seems every week, this governor gives me another reason to regret that I voted for him.
