Screw the 60 Votes - Let the Republicans Filibuster - http://baldwinparkdemocrat.blogspot.com/2009/...
On too many important issues the Democrats have given in to the Republicans for fear that they will filibuster and that the Democrats will not have the 60 votes necessary to block the filibuster (invoke cloture). It is the threat of a filibuster and not an actual filibuster itself that is stalling so much crucial legislation. Big mistake on the part of the Democrats.
Exactly....as many times of the Republifacists try to make Dems look bad...its time for the Dems to show that the GOP is the party of no....

Power of Information: ACCESS to a fast Internet connection has become more than a convenience. It’s being enshrined in some countries as a legal right of all citizens.

Although the Public Option has been written off time and time again for the sake of "bi-partisanship" and to give comfort to Corporate Democrats, Sen.

Michael Moore must leave US to find new elite By Gillian Tett - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/...
For only by looking at the details can anyone understand how power is shifting. Perhaps it is time for Mr Moore to take his camera beyond Detroit and make his next film in Delhi or some of the other regions that could soon turn into “plutonomies” if the thesis turns out to be true.

Here is someone who does not want us licking China's butt either...

Note the paragraph:

"Yes, some trouble did erupt at a pre-Fair symposium. The official Chinese, worthy heirs to Chairman Mao, were very upset at hearing public displays of real criticism, and Jürgen Boos, head of the Fair, actually apologized. And so, on the first evening, the Wednesday, Angela Merkel visited the Book Fair. She was accompanied by Xi Jinping, China’s Vice President. They did not wander through Hall 3.1. They did not hear of the demo against China in the streets. They avoided the Amnesty International/Fischer round table. Don’t want to rock any boats. Angela Merkel, like most political figures, is just a kind of PR manager at this point. What are a few silenced authors versus billions in high-speed trains and other technology; what are the hundreds of thousands of poorly paid, at times imprisoned workers against cheap shoes, shirts, bicycles and other wares. I cannot help think of Sarah Palin’s recent visit to Hong Kong to talk to Chinese businessmen. She took time to criticize the Obama administration, she calls him a Socialist, she hallucinates about death panels, and that in the land of laogai.
