Everyone should be outraged about this. Spread this far and wide, contact Obama and your local congressmen and women, etc. This is NOT acceptable behavior from the Obama administration. I worked very hard to get Obama elected, but not so his administration could do things like this:

Show me the money...peddling influuence in politicsPosted 8/15/2008 6:35 AM PDT on MyDesert.com

Is there anything that is agreed to more than "in politics, money talks; and lots of money, shouts"? I stand with the majority on this one. But even here, I am beginning to see the dawning of a new day.

Let me begin with a rhetorical question (are there any other kind).

Does it make any difference in the final analysis, if 2,000,000 give $100 (equals $200,000,000) or if 100 give $2,000,000 (equals $200,000,000)?

I say that influence is being purchased in either case; but I would much rather take my chances with the 2,000,000 folks who forked over $100 each.

That is a major reason why I support Barack Obama.

Yesterday, the Obama campaign announced that it had reached this mind-boggling mile-stone. 2,000,000 registered Americans have given on average $100 to be major share holders in America's future. I like, no, I really like the sound of that!

If that forthcoming couple of Democratic politics say soPosted 8/12/2008 6:53 AM PDT on MyDesert.com

News of marital infidelity and spousal cover-up is the bedrock of successful Presidential campaigns for Democratic tickets is the latest bromide offered up by the Clinton folks.

This revelation is apparently based on their first hand experience. Also based, I guess, on that first hand experience, is their absolute confidence that their base supporters will believe anything that Bubba and the Misses tell them.

Like how their efforts to undermine the Obama campaign is good for America. Or, that being behind means you are now free to change the rules. Or how electing their good friend McCain is better for our future than electing someone without true roots in this country. Or if we had known sooner the truth about that other couple of Presidential wannabees the Edwards, they (the Hillbillies) would be the nominee of the Party. Or, ______ you fill in the blank.

Question is, how long will your age and your sex blind and excuse you from acknowledging the truth about this couple?

Clinton told to portray Obama as foreign By MIKE ALLEN | 8/10/08 12:47 AM EST Text Size: Mark Penn, the top campaign strategist for Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign, advised her to portray Barack Obama as having a “limited” connection “to basic American values and culture,” according to a forthcoming article in The Atlantic.

The magazine reports Penn suggested getting much rougher with Obama in a memo on March 30, after her crucial wins in Texas and Ohio: “Does anyone believe that it is possible to win the nomination without, over these next two months, raising all these issues on him? ... Won’t a single tape of [the Reverend Jeremiah] Wright going off on America with Obama sitting there be a game ender?”

Atlantic Senior Editor Joshua Green writes that major decisions during her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination would be put off for weeks until suddenly Clinton “would erupt, driving her staff to panic and misfire.”

Green reports that on a staff conference call in January where Clinton received “little response” or “silence” to several of her suggestions for how to recover from the Iowa loss and do better in New Hampshire, “Clinton began to grow angry, according to a participant’s notes,” Green recounts. “‘This has been a very instructive call, talking to myself,’ she snapped, and hung up.”

The eight-page blockbuster, “The Front-Runner’s Fall,” draws on internal memos, e-mails and meeting notes to reveal what the magazine’s September issue calls “the backstabbing and conflicting strategies that produced an epic meltdown.”

Penn, the presidential campaign’s chief strategist, wrote in a memo to Clinton excerpted in the article: “I cannot imagine America electing a president during a time of war who is not at his center fundamentally American in his thinking and in his values.”

A key take-away from the article is that Clinton received a lot of accurate advice, including from Penn. He wrote a remarkably prescient memo in March 2007 about the importance of appealing to what he called “the Invisible Americans,” specifically “WOMEN, LOWER AND MIDDLE CLASS VOTERS” — exactly the groups that helped Clinton beat Obama in key states nearly a year later.

But no one synthesized and acted on the good advice.

“The anger and toxic obsessions overwhelmed even the most reserved Beltway wise men,” Green writes. “[H]er advisers couldn’t execute strategy; they routinely attacked and undermined each other, and Clinton never forced a resolution. ... [S]he never behaved like a chief executive, and her own staff proved to be her Achilles’ heel.

“What is clear from the internal documents is that Clinton’s loss derived not from any specific decision she made but rather from the preponderance of the many she did not make.”

Geoffrey Garin, a well-known Democratic pollster who helped direct the campaign’s strategy team for Clinton’s presidential campaign during its final two months, wrote in a memo to at least 10 top campaign aides that he wanted to stop “end runs” around communications director Howard Wolfson.

“I don’t mean to be an ***hole, but ... changes to important statements and other critical campaign communications simply have to go through Howard,” Garin wrote on April 12. “Howard is the person who is ultimately responsibility for making sure that we deliver our messages the right way, and I hope everyone will support and respect him in that role.”

Robert Barnett, the superlawyer and longtime Clinton adviser, e-mailed about 20 Clinton aides on March 6, with the subject line “STOP IT !!!!”: “This circular firing squad that is occurring is unattractive, unprofessional, unconscionable and unacceptable. ... After this campaign is over, there will be plenty of time to access blame or claim credit.”

Another part of that e-mail was quoted in The New York Times in a June article by Peter Baker and Jim Rutenberg. Clinton told to portray Obama as foreign By MIKE ALLEN | 8/10/08 12:47 AM EST Text Size: Page 2The Penn memo suggesting that the campaign target Obama’s “lack of American roots” said in part: “All of these articles about his boyhood in Indonesia and his life in Hawaii are geared towards showing his background is diverse, multicultural and putting that in a new light.

“Save it for 2050. ... Every speech should contain the line you were born in the middle of America American to the middle class in the middle of the last century. And talk about the basic bargain as about the deeply American values you grew up with, learned as a child and that drive you today. Values of fairness, compassion, responsibility, giving back

“Let’s explicitly own ‘American’ in our programs, the speeches and the values. He doesn’t. Make this a new American Century, the American Strategic Energy Fund. Let’s use our logo to make some flags we can give out. Let’s add flag symbols to the backgrounds.”

That last paragraph was paraphrased in the New York Times article.

Other highlights:

• Of all the materials The Atlantic received, the first mention of delegate counts came in a memo that senior adviser Harold Ickes sent out just 12 days before the Iowa primary, after the campaign had nearly run out of money campaigning in Iowa, where Clinton would finish third. He predicted, correctly, as it turned out:

“Assuming after Iowa and New Hampshire the presidential nominating contest narrows to two competitive candidates who remain locked in a highly contested election through 5 February, the focus of the campaign will shift to the delegate count.” But the campaign, Green notes, had already ceased polling in states they didn’t expect to win, so it had a limited ability to narrow the margins in states that favored Obama.

• Green reports that on Feb. 11, the day that Clinton finally replaced campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle with Maggie Williams, Wolfson aide Phil Singer cursed out first Wolfson, then Policy Director and Solis Doyle ally Neera Tanden, yelling: “[Expletive] you and the whole [expletive] cabal” before climbing on a chair, berating the entire staff and leaving.

The same day, Washington Post Managing Editor Phillip Bennett wrote Williams to complain Singer had spread rumors about one of his reporters. Williams eventually saw the letter after Wolfson intercepted it, and Singer left for a week. On his return, Green reports that Wolfson explained to a colleague, “When the house is on fire, it’s better to have a psychotic fireman than no fireman at all.”

• Green writes: “The internal discord over whether to attack Obama led some of her own staff to spin reporters to try to downplay the significance of her criticisms. The result for Clinton was the worst of both worlds: The conflicting message exacerbated her reputation for negativity without affording her whatever benefits a sustained attack might have yielded.”

• The famous 3 a.m. ad, written by Penn and approved by Clinton, almost didn’t run: “In the days leading up to Ohio and Texas, the campaign kept arguing over whether to air the [3 a.m.] ad. With the deadline looming, Bill Clinton, speaking from a cell phone as his plane sat on a runway, led a conference call on Thursday, Feb. 28, in which he had both sides present their case. As his plane was about to lift off, it was Bill Clinton — not Hillary — who issued the decisive order: ‘Let’s go with it.’ ”

• “On Feb. 25, a pair of Clinton advisers began sending a series of increasingly urgent memos, which were given to me by a recipient sympathetic to Solis Doyle as a way of illustrating that strategic mistakes continued even after her dismissal [announced Feb. 10]. The first memo, from Philippe Reines and Andrew Shapiro, worried that Clinton’s anticipated wins in Texas and Ohio on March 4 would not meaningfully narrow Obama’s delegate lead — a fact sure to sap momentum once the initial excitement of victory passed.”

• "They proposed that Clinton, from a position of strength immediately after her wins, challenge Obama to accept Michigan and Florida revotes. Such a move ‘preempts Obama’s reiteration on March 5 that they are still up 100-plus delegates and that we can’t win,’ they noted. ‘The press will love the rematch, like Rocky II.”

Bill & Hillary, get off the field

By pservelle - Aug 8th, 2008 at 3:42 pm EDT

Also listed in: 6 groups

So, Senator Hillary Clinton says in a video that her supporters need a “catharsis” at the Democratic convention…. and presto! Bill Clinton finally gets his speaking role.

Anyone think there was a connection between Mrs. Clinton’s mild musings of disruptive action at the convention and the sudden appearance of a speaking slot for Bill?
Maybe not. But a role for Bill is surely part of what Hillary has wanted.

How does this impact the 45th CD?
Local Democrat loyalist are nearly all current Clinton supporters who care more about her than electing Barack. They and similar Party loyalist are seriously undermining Obama's chances in the fall. Why?

Because they think that coming in second is worth something. I remind them that electoral politics is a zero-sum game; that is, some one wins (Obama did) and some loses (Clinton did); so either switch jerseys or get off the field.

Bubba" Jefferson Clinton on the Prowl Posted 8/7/2008 11:19 PM PDT on MyDesert.com

"Bubba" Jefferson Clinton is the embodied spirit of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the Democratic Party.

Seldom in our history has such huge potential been so totally thwarted by human weakness. A heart and mind that, if used with total commitment to our highest aspirations, could have carved out an earned spot among our most revered political giants was instead laid to waste by the intrusion of the banal aspects of our common denominators.

So to the Party of Lincoln and Roosevelt; the people's Party that was nothing if not the conscious of America. A Party that embodied the treasured principles of a free society has little resemblance to it's former self; but has become ordinary in the values it chooses to pursue and promote.

It was not Americans like me who re-treated; but rather we were abandoned by those who could have led us and challenged us to "not see things as they are, but to see things as they could be". Barack Obama has sought our help, yours and mine, to take up the challenge that has for too long, laid un-raised along the road's edge. Funny thing; as more of us lift up the chllenge, the challenge actually begins to raise us up as well. And, as long predicted, together, as one people united,We shall Over-come one day.

Innuendo, half-truths, tongue-in-cheek, “spin”, misleading, and other ways of mudding the water.Political campaign license allows for many ways of keeping voters off balance and there-by easier to persuade. Let me try to set the record straight(er).

Rumor: I am an Independent candidate for President.

My response: I hadn’t really given it any thought until yesterdays email. If I am drafted, I don’t see how I can refuse.

Rumor: I am being considered as a running mate with Barack.

My response: As a 65 year old white male I could bring that balance to the ticket.

Rumor: My as yet unfinished book draft is receiving considerable “buzz”.

My response: Hoping for a September launch.

Rumor: I am expected to be among the first dozen Independents to be elected to the House of Representatives.

My response: It now appears to be a reasonable supposition.

Rumor: With a ranking on myBarackObama in the top 1/10th of 1 % I will be offered a Cabinet position.

My Response: I have already served in the Assistant Secretary for Education and I was bored to tears. I would decline any Cabinet position.

Rumor: Is it true that I was once registered as a Democrat?

My response: I was young and foolish; it was thirty years ago. Further, I won the Democratic primary and lost to David Dreier in the general.

Diminishing role for Parties

By pservelle - Aug 7th, 2008 at 4:21 am EDT

Also listed in: 6 groups

Latest voter registration news is awful for Republicans and not much better for
Democrats

As many of you know, I was a post-doc at the Washington, DC-based “think tank” the
Brookings Institution. A senior-fellow there has just released some registration
numbers that do not bode well for the Republicans nor for the Democrats.

Year to year changes are common place; however trends reported here extend over
four years. Republican registration is in free fall and is accelerating. There electoral
chances are dismay.

The Democrats, are not in a celebratory mood however. They are likely to remain
in second place in registration ranking.

Leaping to the front of the pack and growing exponentionally are the independent
registrants. They are on their way to being ½ of all voters in the next election
cycle (2010). Look for a flood gate to burst open with independent candidates emerging
at all levels.

The Parties are in the process of reaping what they have sewn.
They sought and now have a virtual strangle hold on elections at all levels.

If you signed up with one of them, for 1600 signatures or dollars you could enter
their primaries. You would six months in the first half of the to build name I.D.
and after securing the nomination another six months to raise money.

If you don’t join a party, you cannot join the election in the spring. Where Party
candidates have six months to gather 1600
Signatures, Independents are given six WEEKS to collect 16 THOUSAND Signatures.
And Independents are NOT PERMITTED to gathering Signatures in any PUBLIC building;
not in schools or colleges, not in PUBLIC libraries or in City Halls or anywhere
else.

In the November election in the 45th congressional district, 3 out of 10 likely
voters will be Republicans who have a Republican choice.

3 out of 10 likely voters will be Democrats who have a Democrat choice. 4 of 10
likely voters will be “independents” but they will not have an “independent” choice.
Go figure.

Maybe not this time, but the times, they are a changing.

And, you can count on me to be there when they do.

Ashamed and embarrassed

By pservelle - Aug 4th, 2008 at 2:01 am EDT

Also listed in: 6 groups

Ashamed and embarrassed by my overly acerbic tongue I just returned from seeing the new Kevin Costner movie, “Swing Vote”. For all of us political junkies it was wonderful. It did, however, touch an open nerve. In a closing scene, Costner’s character admits to be embarrassed by his lack of interest and participation in democracy.

My own embarrassment stems from a different character flaw. I have addressed this flaw before (see my Mea Culpa blog of 9/7/07 on MyBarackObama.com). I am ashamed to admit but I have an addiction to using my overly acerbic tongue. Not to put too fine a point on it, my acerbic tongue is, I believe, a product of some deeply held anger. This anger in turn comes from my keen disappointment in our government when it fails to adhere to basic tenets of justice and equal treatment for all.

Whatever the source, I am not proud of my behavior in this regard. Like other addictions, it is always about to break into the open. I am trying to part of an historic event and I have no wish to demean it with unacceptable behavior on my part. I am committed to knocking down this behavior.

Let me begin with extending my public apology to local activists of both major parties. They act out of deep convictions and for me to suggest otherwise is simply unacceptable. The beauty of our participatory democracy is that we may choose to express ourselves in any number of ways. A special apology is offer to the party nominees who truly wish to give back to work for what they believe in.

Going forward, I will attempt to adhere to this tenet: If I can’t find something good to blog about, I will not blog. If you believe that I am doing otherwise, call me on it and remind me of the intentions I am here expressing.

Hillary type old guard Demos undermine "change " messagePosted 8/1/2008 8:02 AM PDT on MyDesert.com

Same old, same old...is the message from the Hillary wing of the Party. And that message will undermine the Barack theme of Change You Can Believe In.

As the Hillary wing shrivels smaller and smaller, they become increasingly shrill. Look no further to see how they put their needs above those of the country. The Hillary wing dominates the Congress and their in-fighting ways have produced a 14 percent favorable rating.

Their counter-parts are all the local Democratic Clubs across America that focus on promoting the special interests of their coalition and "talk chance" but act without it.

Neither the leadership nor the local club members get it. You cannot be in favor of "turning the page" without letting go of the past.

As elections go forward we will witness an acceleration of the registered voters fleeing from the Democratic column to "decline-to-state". I guess you can say that will be one good thing that the old Hillary types accomplished.

In a two person contest for the 45th CD, a Democrat cannot win.

If I qualify for the ballot as an Independent, I will win.

Servelle (INDEPENDENT)   low to mid 40 percent

Bono (REPUBLICAN)   mid to high 30 percent

Bornstein (DEMOCRAT)   mid to high 20 percent

If I do not qualify for the November ballot, the likely Vote total will be:

Bono (REPUBLICAN)   mid to high 50 percent (she has been winning with low to mid 60 percent)

Bornstein (DEMOCRAT)   mid to high 40 percent.

How does one get a seat in Congress

By pservelle - Jul 31st, 2008 at 11:20 am EDT

Also listed in: 6 groups

Part II of an on-going Series. Reaction to yesterdays post included a comment that I was not being as tuff on M. Bono as I was on J. Bornstein. That's fair; so I have re-titled the series: Mumblings and Bumblings by NoMoBonoBush and NoBooring Either.

Today's post is "How Does One Get a Seat in Congress".

#1. Undoubtedly the easiest way is to marry into it. Spouses of late/former members of congress have a strong and clear advantage. There is the element of entitlement involved. And there is access to money; lots of money.

#2. You can try to buy it. Money works wonders. But tons of money can also back-fire. Access to one's own money and to PAC money can, if you are a major party member, be decisive in the Primary. Ms. J. Bornstein parlayed a $100,000 of her own money with additional money from PACs to gain the Democratic nomination. When the Democratic Party was the "people's party", most registered Democrats did not have an extra $100,000 to put behind their own campaign. But, I guess times change; if not always for the better.

(An aside, while both NoMoBonoBush and NoBooring can use their own money, even if I had it, and I don't, as an Independent I cannot just sit down at the poker table and buy in to get stacks and stacks of chips. Not unless I pay people to sign my nomination papers; but, then again I don't think that is legal.)

#3. And, then, there is the Smith-Barney approach; you can earn it, one signature at a time. Talking signatures, we now have opened doors at 4 Malls across the District. Want to sign up to help collect signatures, contact me at: psgkservelle@earthlink.net.

Does anyone still believe that Congress is not for Sale?

Are you governed by your registration or by your beliefs

By pservelle - Jul 29th, 2008 at 9:33 pm EDT

Also listed in: 6 groups

Obama by registration is a Democrat; Obama by principle is an Independent. How about you?

My guess is that those of you who joined an Obama Group way back in 2007, were inspired by his beliefs not by his party membership. I suspect that those who joined a Group since June 2008 might have a few who are more governed by party. I am attempting to reach those who are governed by their beliefs.

The large Obama message is not to support Democrats as some would have you believe. No the large message from Barack is to think for yourself and support what you believe in.

As an Independent candidate for Congress I encourage you to listen to Barack. Keep an open mind and learn all you can. You do not need to commit to me right now.I simply seek your support to give people like yourselves another choice on the November ballot. Consider all three: Rep., Dem., and Independent. That will be the time to decide.

You will not have an Independent choice if I do not get on the ballot. I do not get on the ballot without your signature, your help and your support. Thank you for putting up with me.
