BAUCUS? http://www.wegoted.com/blog/blog-details2.asp?BID=222Sen. Max Baucus, D-MT, admits to trying to advance the professional career of a woman he was romantically involved with. This speaks directly to the level of his character and the length at which he will go to benefit himself.

This is a classic example of what we the tax payers have been subjected to. The man who kept the single payer debate out of the arena is now illustrating in his personal life for all of us to see, just how this works.

The Montana Senator has taken more money from the anti-medical reform faction in Washington than any elected official. Do you think a deal might have been cooked to keep single payer out of reach?

I said months ago this man needs to be replaced. Do we need any more evidence?

All this garbage about change is just that. We have conservative Democrats who voted for war funding time and time again but are now balking at funding for health care because of the numbers.

The mindset is, "don't jeopardize your chances of re-election." Steve McMahon told me last night on TV that keeping the majority is more important than health care reform. Do you believe that?

Did you vote for a majority or for someone who could bring change and get it done for the people?

Democrats are selling out to save their ass. We need to make sure they pay the price.

I didn't support any candidate to go halfway against the conservative culture that has ripped the middle class. This is about power, not about negotiation.

The score calls for a deficit reduction over 10 years and well under the President's Budget for Healthcare Reform.

Where are the conservative Democrats who are against the Public Option and blocking reform? Sens. Conrad, Nelson, Lincoln, Baucus and others need to come clean with the American people and admit it's all about protecting their own backyard and not what's good for the country.

I say this to the listeners of The Ed Schultz Show: We are close to victory. You need, I need, we need to keep the pressure on and don't give up!

57% of the American people want the Public Option. We have the numbers on our side, but these Senators are in denial.

It is amazing that Obama can be so far off in judging his supporters after such an exhausting campaign. We already had a march on Washington...it was called "Inauguration Day."

We have been kicked in the teeth for the last 8 years by Republicans on health care and the middle class has taken the beating. We can't get beaten again.

Liberals will have no stomach for supporting Obama and Democratic candidates in the mid-term if they can't show a spine and demonstrate they support the very people who put them in office.

Chuck Grassley, John Kyl, Tom Coburn lost. They are never going to do the peoples work and they stand clearly with the corporations and are big business protectors...Max Backus and Kent Conrad drink out of the same mug.

The White House is living in a vacuum if they think liberals aren't serious about dropping support for Obama. How are liberals expected to support people in the Democratic Party that say one thing on the campaign trail and reverse course when they get to Washington?

Standing up to Republican obstruction, at this critical time, is far more important than being a connected to a watered down piece of garbage written on Republican toilet paper.

The White House says we are close...close to what? Close to caving in to Grassley? They are not for reform...The Republicans are Protectionists, not Progressives.

Draw your line in the sand Mr. President and you will see ground swell support for your administration, your agenda, your party...cave in and we are gone for another generation.

The Health Care fight is the most important issue to American workers and families. The numbers are well documented.

Yet the advocacy for change isn't coming from the people who make the decisions. Do they even care?

The absence of the Democratic Senators on the talking heads is shameful. Night after night and show after show the Conservatives are out pounding the ears and minds of the American consumers saying the Government takeover of Health Care will kill the best system in the world. What?

Let's set the table correctly. The American people voted for change. They want the law makers to do something. Not a savings account, but real change that is day by day destroying the middle class, ripping apart small business, and creating more than fourteen thousand uninsured people a day.

What don't the Senate Democrats get about that? Obama can't do this alone.

Now the President is asking for town hall meetings and a grass roots effort across the country to force change. Excuse me Mr. President. We already did that.

Apparently the Senate Democrats and the White House need to be reminded there was an election. We have already spoken.

My original point is this. Liberals in the Congress don't want to be a target of the big players in the medical industry.

If they push too hard for change and upset the apple cart of profit, they will risk defeat in the next election. The big money thrown against them will be overwhelming and life under the radar screen is much easier.

Progressives should take notice of the silence. Maybe the Democrats are no different than the Republicans.

They seem to be collectively lacking the courage to hit the airwaves, tell the truth about the system, push for reform and stand firm against the liars on the right.

The lack of intensity for the working people and the inability to stand up for change is disheartening. Slowly, but surely the framework is being set for a third party based on the lame effort Democrats are putting forth on
Health Care.

Those who oppose the bill say it's all about keeping an election private and basically unions and higher wages will hurt the economy even more.

Here is what they are not talking about or telling you. Specifically, it is mandatory arbitration for a first time contract if the unions and the employers cannot come to an agreement within the Employee Free Choice act timeframe.

Usually what happens, after an NLRB election, the employer stalls with negotiations with no real intention of reaching any kind of an agreement. The Union election is the easy part, getting a first time contract is the stickler.

The Employee Free Choice act sets a timeframe and calls for a decision with an arbitrator. That has the fat cats worried in the front office knowing they have been screwing the worker and driving up management income and benefits.

Give them credit, it's a short quick message that ditto heads can cling to and easily follow. Their leader is a college drop out.

That's Limbaugh, a college dropout who couldn't carry Obama's briefcase is now the head of the Republican party. The list of Republicans who have genuflected to the drugster is getting long.

They worship the ground Limbaugh walks and fear the backlash if they say or do the wrong thing. Who will be the first Republican to stand up to the college dropout?

Democrats need to stand firm and just watch the side show for what it is. The conservatives have no plan for health care, they hate public education and continue to shout drill baby drill.

This is not what Americans want nor will they be guided by fear of failure. Obama has limited options to turn this economy around.

The world is in crisis and they are looking to us for leadership globally. What they hear from Republicans is nothing but negative fear mongering and no vision to rebound.

The same policies calling for tax cuts for the rich and no investment in American infrastructure carries them to poll numbers that resemble the Bush administration in the good years.

My question is simple. Is it good to continue to portray Limbaugh as the leader of the Republican Party?

I thought about what a chance this was for the new President to capture the moment and the emotion of the country with just the right presentation.

President Obama hit it out of the park. Striking the proper tone in an environment that has been ridden with partisanship Obama was at the top of his game.

He wasted no time. He got to the economy and to what the people are concerned about.

The President in a simple forthright logical manner told the story of America's comeback to greatness. Investment in jobs with the focus on Energy, Health Care and Education Obama delivered the most domestic speech the country has witnessed in 9 years.

While the Republican sound machine attempts to chip away at the new President they find the public majority is clearly behind this President. The Republicans are still losing.

Fresh off the campaign trail it's like they never heard a word the American people were saying. We are going to spend money on us, at home, on our future, and in the places needed the most.

Health Care costs have sky rocketed over the last eight years and this President is determined to do something about it. How refreshing!

After thirty plus days on the job I feel like we are getting the country

I'll be in the chamber tonight and I can't wait to see the reaction of the Republicans when Obama calls for unity, when he calls on the Congress to serve the people and not their self interest. I think it will be a great moment.

There will be no threats. No calls for who is evil and certainly no finger pointing as he tries to move the country forward. That's not his nature nor is it his plan.

What do you want the President to say tonight? What do you expect?

So, here we go. It's time to talk about Iraq and the drawdown of troops. This will save money, billions upon billions and change the landscape for future spending.

Can we hear the Republicans support this? Can we get at least one Republican to support the President on this?

After all, the next generation has to pay for this. There is no plan to end operations in Iraq and there never has been.

Let's see the conservatives defend the very policy that has gutted this country financially and tarnished our reputation in the world community.

Part of getting our fiscal house in order is getting the hell out of Iraq. It is crucial that Obama follows through on this.

This election was not only about change in Washington but change in Baghdad. Obama has called in numerous strikes on terror camps in Pakistan yet the conservatives are silent in their support.

You see, that's not the President they want Americans to see. The fight does continue on terrorists and the mission is changing. Where is the support from the conservatives?

Instead, you have Alabama Senator Richard Shelby raising the question if the President is even a legally born American suggesting he should not be the commander and chief. What a great American Shelby is!

The President wants to cut the deficit in half by raising taxes on the rich, cutting the spending in Iraq, and reforming health care. Let's get ready to rumble...

I have heard all the arguments from the conservatives and false claims about how progressive talk fails. Not true!

Some of us have proven we can do commerce. That stated, there are way more conservatives on talk radio than progressives. Why? How would we change that?

Press doesn't really have a solution. When I asked him on my show yesterday he was searching for an answer.

How can the Congress force ownership to program any station? How does the old Fairness Doctrine play in today's market?

I can see the FCC limiting ownership in markets so no one company can dominate the decision making process when it comes to content, but I cannot envision the industry functioning better under a content restriction.

Competition is a great thing in America and it brings the best out in professionals. Placing limits on how deep a company can buy into a market may be the only option to insure diversity of voices and there is no guarantee that would work.

Ownership has its privileges. I think liberals should buy stations if they don't like the sound.

Is it O.K. for the President to offer that solution without being ripped by the Republicans? Graham who was a McCain boot licker on the campaign trail now offers the most socialistic solution in lock step with the old Soviet Union.

The reason for the stimulus package is to keep us from doing just that. Graham voted against the bill.

The Bush tax cuts called for $1.35 trillion in revenue reduction to the treasury. The stimulus package calls for $870 billion going mostly to investment in American jobs.

Ed Schultz and Freedom 570 WTNT

Freedom 570 has a great signal that will make it easier for people in the nation's capitol to hear the Truth & Common Sense that Ed brings to the table every day. Ed Schultz has put himself right in the mix of the news by moving to DC. He has daily talks with the leaders that are pushing for change in America.

Freedom 570 WTNT will carry a mix of Conservative talkers surrounding Ed. They are capitalizing on the ever expanding center of the political climate in America. Ed will continue to bring his style of balance to the radio dial in Washington DC every day.

When Tom Daschle told the President it was over and the pressure and focus was a major distraction the President didn't refuse the comment.

Obama accepted the resignation and the judgment of Daschle which speaks volumes of the style of management we will see from the President. We have seen Obama turn adversity into a positive with the American people before.

His straight forth honest response in 5 interviews yesterday is the change the country was looking for. Accepting the circumstances and taking the responsibility for the nomination of Daschle now points the President back on track and gives the country a clear understanding this man keeps to his word and does pay attention to a standard that must be adhered to.

In the wake of all this, we have lost a great man who made a serious mistake. Tom Daschle had exactly the experience and knowledge to make the necessary changes in Health Care in this country.

The President will be hard pressed to find someone equal. I think the Obama administration scores well with the American people on this ordeal holding true to his makeup, the truth.

Apparently, the Republicans have trouble with the definition of both and their votes last night prove it. Not one Republican voted for the bill to help the country in this time economic strife.

They all cited their philosophy when it comes to creating jobs. Tax cuts, tax rates and corporate favors.

Instead of realizing that President Obama won with a mandate, the opposition party has decided to deny the President bi-partisan success after countless hours of trying to reach consensus.

There will be more of this behavior and we the people have to recognize the Republicans for what they are. Selfish, greedy and defiant to the American people.

One hundred and fifty-five dollars a month more into the pocket of Blue Cross/Blue Shield of North Dakota for our small company. With tens of thousands of Americans losing their jobs every day I should consider this a deal.

A high ranking source in the Senate tells me that another stimulus bill will hit President Obama's desk long before the end of 2009. That's right, 2 stimulus bills.

The bill that Congress is working on right now is meant to "stem the tide" and stop the increase in unemployment and the slide on Wall Street. The 2nd bill is being designed to stop the recession dead in its tracks.

I think President Obama needs to take another important step to jumpstart the economy. Obama compares himself to Lincoln and FDR.

It's time that he takes a page from another former President, a "Rough Rider". The President needs to find Teddy Roosevelt's pick-axe and start busting some trusts.

Five companies own the banks, five companies own the oil and five companies own the media. Big banks needed a bailout, Big Oil needed billions of dollars of tax breaks, and now newspapers are going bankrupt & the biggest radio company in America is set to fire 1850 employees. Consolidation has failed.

President Obama needs to break Big Oil, Big Banking and Big Media into a million tiny pieces. It's time to create a whole new ownership society.

Yesterday the new President mentioned "risk takers" in his inaugural address. There are millions of Americans that would love to start a new bank, drill for oil or buy a radio station. Competition is a great thing.

President Obama, if you want America to thrive again, you need to help risk takers have the chance to get in the game. Bust these companies into a million pieces.

Free up credit so the little guy can get the kind of interest rate that Rupert Murdoch has taken advantage of. We want to make this country great again.

Unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of America. That's CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN.

Obama deserves the first move. Democrats owe him that.

If the President-elect feels this is the best path to revive the economy then he deserves the opportunity to lead. Some Senators who are up for re-election in 2010 are playing it close to the vest with taxpayer dollars guarding their territory shielding themselves from being labeled a tax and spend Democrat.

Obama may be open to suggestions and options, but he can't be weak. The country is expecting middle class tax cuts.

The rich have to pay their fair share and the republicans must know they can't drive the ship anymore. Democrats may differ on certain aspects of the stimulus package but 11 Bush states weren't won by Obama because Americans wanted the same turmoil out of Washington.

Democrats need to hit the ground running and together. This is no time to pick pepper out of the garbage.

Let Obama lead and let the new President call the shots on the stimulus. In less than 22 months we have a chance to get 60 seats in the Senate to continue the generational shift we need to fix the long term problems.

What we have heard out of Washington recently sounds like the same song and dance. It is crucial the Democrats work from the same page and take their differences behind closed doors.

Why give the right wing media a chance to intercept the momentum that has been earned?

The entire ordeal with the Illinois Governor has little or nothing to do with the major problems facing the nation.

The economy is in a free fall with the country waiting for a stimulus package. Simply, the Democrats have miscalculated the public relations impact this story would have and the amount of attention it would eventually garnish.

A miscalculation, not a scandal, not a determent to the agenda and certainly not an issue that will stand in the way of President Obama and the direction he wants to take the country. The Democrats need to embrace this man, seat him in the Senate, and get on with the business of the country.

The Illinois situation will take care of itself through the legal process. All of this was meant to show the country the Democrats would not fall prey to a scandal and be a part of an auction for a
senate seat.

The Illinois Governor is slick, smooth, and politically cunning and has out foxed the Democrats but in the operation of things it will have no impact on fixing the country.

The Bush administration will exit the beltway leaving behind a bill that is staggering. It's easy to figure when Obama threw out the "T" word earlier this week he knew what the total spending in Iraq would be since the invasion.

President Obama has extended his call for tax cuts to get the economy moving. A $300 billion tax cut, meaning cash in your pocket.

Does he believe this or is this just a way to get the Republicans on board to avoid a filibuster? Whatever the case, Obama is trying to do more than his campaign promise.

$500 to $1,000 per family is the number. Write offs for small companies and tax credits for hiring and not firing employees is also in the package.

Do you think this will work? We still have a growing federal budget deficit and within several years the tax burden will have to shift.

We have experienced -40 degrees below zero and it might get worse today. Our region is under the blanket of arctic air and this stint is one for the archives.

Cars don't start, travel is dangerous, you can't take a walk and you need almost special recreational clothing to function at all outdoors. Inside living this time of year is the existence we learn to enjoy.

Decorating the tree, getting a fire going in the fireplace, reading, watching a movie and catching a football game or two. It's a great time to plan, do business, and get really caught up on things.

After that we look outside and just say "Man is it cold out." The weather channel comes in handy as entertainment. "Hey, they are talking about us."

Does this shift Obama's position on issues near and dear to folks on the left? Does this break or reinforce a campaign promise to attempt to bring the country together?

Consider this an olive branch and a signal to future generations that we as Americans must be accepting of all walks of life along with religious and political beliefs. This decision does not divide, it sends a message.

This demonstrates how Obama will be willing to have an open dialogue with all Americans and it clearly steers the country away from fear. I find it interesting that James Dobson has not condemned Warren for accepting well aware of Obama's position on social issues.

This challenges the hard conservatives to seek a new path of openness and acceptance something they have rejected. Inclusive, not exclusive, is what this communicates to all Americans.

The media is going light on Bush. I don't think we can fix this economy unless we are honest as to how we got here.

Make no mistake, this rests on the desk of the President. If I'm wrong tell me. Bush went away from free market policies to save the free market, wow!

The House has the deal done, the Senate hangs in the balance on the car loan. In the meantime, Sen. Harry Reid wants Federal Judges to get a pay raise as an amendment to this loan.

What the hell? This is what makes the climate in Washington stink.

What do you think? Is the acceptable?

Now the auto manufactures have a Car Czar. The Big 3 will have answer to a Bush administration appointee to make sure the industry uses the money in the correct manner.

This is such a double standard. Where is the Wall Street financial Czar?

In desperate need of the money to continue to operate the companies will comply. Is this the right move?

Do you agree with this concept of a Czar? Do you feel any better about the loan now that Bush throws this Czar into the mix?

I say lend them the money and let em run. We don't need another Czar.

If the plan is rejected by the Congress and their loan package denied, two of the companies may not make to the end of the year. That means around Christmas millions of families across the country will get the pink slip and American manufacturing may change forever.

By no fault of their own this will happen. The sixty-one percent of Americans in a recent CNN poll say "let them fail".

How sad! We have forked billions of dollars to Iraq for reconstruction that we will never see, thrown billions at a failed policy with no questions asked, yet we are willing to allow American families to suffer hardship rejecting a loan package which could be paid back with a turnaround in operations.

Will we ever get the money back from Iraq? I don't think the general population of this country really understands the ramifications of this decision if Congress follows a poll.

The obstinate attitude of some Americans is disheartening. We as a people have nothing to lose by supporting this meager package. What is really sad is the voices of some on talk radio who say "where is my bailout"?

This is not a bailout. This is a loan.

The selfish attitude of the Bush Administration still lingers in society. I hope the new President holds to his promise and stands up for the industry.

Obama deserves better. How long is the President-elect going to have to tap dance around the Clinton ego? Hillary, either you want to job or not.

A lengthy period of time and the foot dragging that is taking place brings into question just how loyal they'll be to the administration. Furthermore, being Sec. of State for 4 years and getting Obama re-elected and then working the campaign trial for 4 years would put Hillary in a perfect position to make another run for the White House.

McCain who has been a lover of tax cuts and Bush budgets, not only has to separate himself from Bush on the economy, but hold the conservative base from outright revolt. In doing that, McCain will also have to appeal to the logical thinking mainstream independent.

There will be no Billy Ayers or Rev. Wright in this presentation. McCain must figure out where the independent voters stand on the economy and how far they are willing to go with budget cuts and taxation. Not everybody can get a break.

McCain was up to his old antics about Obama not understanding, yet it was McCain who lacked the crucial details for the future of America on issues and often misstated his opponent's position.

McCain's weakest moment was his absence of a plan and lack of concern for the uninsured in America. Meanwhile, Obama gave a strong explanation and specific examples of what his plan is to correct the course after eight years of neglect.

Obama clearly rose above a man who has never advocated for an alternative energy policy and stated the record which McCain had no answer for. Obama wins hands down.

McCain's closing statement was his strongest moment but it reminded me of a Senate script handed out years ago in the cloak room, when in doubt of what to say, just tell 'em you love America, they can't argue with that.]]>Tue, 07 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMTTue, 07 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMTTue, 07 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMTThe Ed Schultz Show - Ed Says Bloghttp://www.wegoted.com/blog/blog-details2.asp?BID=7#commentsTest of Self Discipline for Barack Obamahttp://www.wegoted.com/blog/blog-details2.asp?BID=8
McCain has shown his true Rovian colors by allowing his easily led and empty skirt running mate attempt to trash the reputation of a fellow Senator. At 72, McCain feels he has nothing to lose and a scorched earth policy on Obama will only rile a rabid base that might salvage his efforts to become the next President.

Palin has no clue what she is saying or what she is doing. She's willing to be a political whore at any price. The test for Obama is to remain strong in the face of such scurrilous attacks and false accusations. This is a man who has repeatedly taken the high road and kept his stride with the American people who demand more from their leaders. McCain is proving to be nothing more than inside the beltway trash. He is everything America doesn't need or want.

This should not have happened, not now. I can't help but think this is just a bone thrown to the opposition opposed to Congressional intervention on this financial crisis. Main street folks could have claimed something was in it for them.

The polls are indicating clearly McCain needs a game changer. He knows it. His terse attitude towards Obama on the Senate floor last night speaks volumes about the pressure he's shouldering. But, he missed a golden opportunity to deliver the much needed game changer.

After months of pounding the culture of Washington on the campaign trail and purporting the position of a "Maverick", McCain voted "Yes" on the rescue package. $700 billion dollars turned to $850 billion with the tax cuts. I thought McCain was going to guard the treasury, make people famous, change how Washington does business. A "No" vote would have reinforced the "Maverick" image, put Obama on the defensive, and possibly driven some independent and conservative Democrats his way.

The American people need to ask themselves, do we want to lose another 1.2 trillion in investment in the market or loan the market 500 billion? Do we want to see massive job loss due to tight credit or do we really want revenge on who or what caused this?

Asian markets are not responding well to the lack of action by the Congress and it's clear to me we need to recognize government does play a role in all of this at some level. Stabilizing the markets with tax payer dollars and new oversight is not liberal or conservative, it's vital. If we don't believe that, then we need to prepare ourselves for what will be the biggest change in our lives, a country we may not recognize.]]>Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMTTue, 30 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMTTue, 30 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMTThe Ed Schultz Show - Ed Says Bloghttp://www.wegoted.com/blog/blog-details2.asp?BID=13#commentsEd Says: The Real Truth!http://www.wegoted.com/blog/blog-details2.asp?BID=39
The numbers are staggering and who gets the blame? For some reason Obama is taking the hits in the news for telling the truth.

Who got us there, the Democrats? I think not!

Bush policies and poor decisions on foreign policy have cost this country the big number, a trillion dollars. The truth about Iraq spending has yet to come out.

This stimulus package is starting to sound like the last option to save the country's finances. I think Obama needs to play tough and flat out tell the Republicans your input on this will be limited because you mostly got us in this mess.

Give me your thoughts.]]>Mon, 07 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMTMon, 07 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMTMon, 07 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMTThe Ed Schultz Show - Ed Says Bloghttp://www.wegoted.com/blog/blog-details2.asp?BID=39#comments
