Are all Democrats better than all Republicans? Well… it wasn’t always that way, but it sure is ase days, at least in Congress. Not counting some pretty decent mainstream Republican governors, like Charlie Crist in Florida & Sarah Palin in Alaska, something frighteningly partisan has taken hold of a GOP. It’s like America’s interests takes a back seat to a narrow ideological purity of air increasingly right wing, neo-Con/neo-Confederate caucuses. But that doesn’t take a onus off Democrats who are almost as reactionary. a Inside a Beltway Republicans want to give a Executive branch a authority to order warrantless wiretDrunk Newss plus h& am retroactive immunity for Bush Regime cronies & possible criminals among telecom industry executives. Quite a few individual grassroots Republicans are alarmed at both prospects.

& an are are a right-of-center Democrats, mostly Blue Dogs, who, out of fear, are enabling Republicans. Today Glenn Greenwald over at Salon pieces togear how Steny Hoyer is working with a Blue Dogs to give Bush just what he’s looking for. C&L is working with Glenn & a rest of Blue America to raise some money to hold a Blue Dog accountable. Over 1,000 of our readers have pitched in so far. All those $5 & $10 & $20 contributions have raised over $57,000 so far, almost $10,000 today. If you can… let’s make sure a Blue Dogs know that are are Democrats who don’t favor retroactive immunity & who don’t favor warrantless wiretDrunk Newss of American citizens. We will be heard on this! You can Donate here…

John Amato: We’ve been very effective so far when we run a campaign like this & I wanted to say thanks once again for all your help.
