As difficult as this health crises may become, we must not lose sight of the opportunity to frame deregulation for what it is - unbridled greed at the expense of average human beings and a way of life.

This could be an even bigger mess than you have heard!!

This following is speculation based upon personal experience and some investigation. Please note that before you slam me. I am hoping someone can speak to this with data. I am writing purely from personal experience.

This fiasco, could be a bigger mess than anyone is discussing. Certainly the default rate will likely be higher than estimates, but the real super secret of this mortgage mess haven't been discussed much and it could leave the US of A and you and me holding a whole lot of smelly worthless loans in numbers greater than we thought.

Here are the short reasons why:

* Many of the mortgages may be illegal and may be thrown out

* Many may not have changed hands properly

* Many do not have the original paper and can be challenged

Dirty deatils below the fold.

Sarah Palin's Pregnancy Decision Making Map. A map of the processes she went through as she endangered the life of her unborn child. I think this is more impactful than the other accusations.

I did not create this and am trying to find out who did. Let me know and I will credit.

Searched on this and did not find. Excuse the short diary, but not much more to be said.

This speaks to decision making processes, judgment, family values, McCain's horrible decision making process and the lack of vetting.

This has to be the cutest thing I've ever did see. 4 intrepid college Republicans are traveling the country trying to find viable red districts and candidates and then they are blogging and YouTubing about them. That said, while I heard the name and expected a blank page ;), I thought things might on the face have a bit more positive spin from them. That doesn't seem to be the case...

Hunting for Red November?
Where oh where have my Red states gone?

More below the fold.

I've spent so much of my time in negativity when it comes too politics. I've spewed hate and anger over and over again in postings and conversations. I despise Republicans for what they've done to our country and our democracy and the world, but something settled in with me today that has me sadder now than I've been in a long time...

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz just stepped in a load of crap on local 940 WINZ this morning. The phones lit up with outraged Dems calling up screaming about the outrage of her refusing to say she will vote no on Iraq funding, help with impeachment, etc. etc. I have never seen anything like the calls and emails that flooded the station.

Listen to the calls here. I am the first caller.

Warning to fans of Hillary Clinton that like to troll rate. I slam Hillary in my call, because Wasserman Schultz has endorsed her and I think that is likely why she has become less of a Democrat and Progressive on these issues and less willing to have the backbone to do what the American people want. Don't listen if you don't want to hear it.

Links to original interview and emails are here.

Who are these people? Why are you voting for her?

I just read this diary about the numbers on Hillary and I think it is time to ask who the hell these people are that are voting for Hillary Clinton. I mean, these are primary voters. They are supposed to be more informed than the general electorate.

They have to know...

that a good percentage of the population can't stand her
that she is in fact a triangulating poll player
that she likely will get slammed in the general
that Republicans are salivating over the prospect of her candidacy
that she sells out to the highest bidder
that she is/was for the war in Iraq and is lying about pulling our troops out and will in fact keep them in
that she has sold out on the principles of health care for all
that she has the charisma of a frog and couldn't inspire anyone
and on and on and on and on.

Are you really voting for her because she is a woman?

Would you really throw your vote away?

Can someone, anyone please explain to me who these people are that do not see her for what she is.

Dear Presidential Candidates,

Something stinks in here.

The old adage of actions speaking louder than words should definitely guide your decisions when it comes to this community. We are not a bunch of naive children that have never had a come-on by a sales guy. We are not too enamored by your celebrity to think that everything you say is true.

Short diaries bad. They are a leading kos of DADD - DailyKos Attention Deficit Disorder. Must be banned.

Web polls are silly/immature and must be banned. The world needs complicated choices.

Diaries must cure insomnia.

Diaries must ramble like a thesis for 27 paragraphs to be compliant.

Diary writing is a competition and the winner gets..... something to be determined at a later date. Maybe Grape Nuts!

Diaries about diaries have the potential to creating a looping diary that could crash the Internets. They/you will be deleted.

Hey folks get your collective butts over to the weblog Awards and vote for DailyKos. The nutjob scum bags over at Little Green Footballs are winning and voting closes on Friday. Recommend this diary if you want to make sure everyone else votes too, because to let that loser win would be tragic.

A long time Republican friend sent me this excellent email this morning. Made my already fantastic day even better.

My Friends email:

Well Boys, I did my part and voted primarily Democratic this election. (Still voted for Crist) Bottom line for me Republicans did not earn the right to govern for so many reasons.

My reply:

That is great news! Welcome to the dark side. :)
Seriously though.. they had their chance and proved that they are incompetent - a train wreck. While not perfect, Democrats know how to run government - fairly.
Welcome...
to the party of fiscal responsibility.
to the party of fairness
to the party of civil liberties, libertarian values, and privacy
to the party of tax fairness
to the party of smart foreign policy
to the party that wants to actually catch the terrorists and treat the root cause of terrorism
to the party of environmental sensibility
to the party of equality for all
to the party of true opportunity
to the party of ethical standards
to the party of small business
Just welcome to the fucking PARTY! We need you, want you and look forward to your active participation.

This is a shocker. Just received an email from my friend Democratic County Chair Jimmy Morales here in Miami-Dade county, FL. Michael Calderin is in a statistical dead heat with Mario Diaz-Balart. This would be a SWEET pickup. Please click over to the site and give what you can. If you are in South Florida volunteer your time. This is one of those Holy Shit I can't believe we have a chance at this one races.

Below the fold is the email from Jimmy. It could certainly be statistically in the margin of error, etc. and he won't win, but would love to see this long shot win happen in my congressional district. Don't forget the .01 at the end of your contribution so they know where it came from. I am going to let Jimmy know the Dkos is coming. ;) Calderin is a geek, so the victory would be all that much better. Read More
