Steve Almond writes in The NY Times, Liberals Are Ruining America. I Know Because I Am One: This, to be blunt, is the tragic flaw of the modern liberal. We choose to see ourselves as innocent victims of an escalating right-wing fanaticism. But too often we serve as...

Two moderate Blue Dog incumbent Democrats lost to left-wing, union-backed challengers in Pennsylvania yesterday: The Blue Dogs' bark in Congress is sounding more and more like a whimper.

When Dennis Kucinich lost his primary in a new district which required him to compete against an incumbent, I was disappointed. We need a Dennis Kucinich, someone by whom others can be measured -- vertically, psychologically, dentally, and bumperstically. Run in Washington State, Dennis, Run: Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio)...
