Howard Dean is first.

Dean is first and i'm away for the evening.

Quick pop back in.....Aneeka, thanks for the front-page thread.  Come back, we need new voices:)

Racism is far from being overcome but we can continue to work towards that day that Dr. King gave his life for.  Thanks again for being here.

G'night all. 

Talking to Daniel Lubetzky, founder of PeaceWorks and OneVoice 

How does a Mexican of Jewish heritage with a background in business and law launch PeaceWorks, an innovative food company, and the ambitious foundation OneVoice, both of which work towards towards peace in the Middle East? Daniel Lubetzky, born and raised in Mexico City, studied in the US, France and Israel, before attending Stanford Law School in California. He then had short stints at a law firm and an investment company before launching PeaceWorks in 1994 and OneVoice in 2002. We spoke last year when the Arab League had just taken a leadership role in the peace process between Israel and Palestine after the Second Intifada

Janera: What do you think when you hear the term “Global Nomads?”

Daniel: Humanity transcending barriers and borders. All of us are, in essence at least, global nomads.

J: PeaceWorks is a company but you don’t really produce anything. Can you explain how that works?

D: Most big companies don’t own the factories; they contract out to other companies. As does PeaceWorks. We manage...

Dean then responded, heatedly, that in his experience, those who sought the intervention of party leadership were motivated by their own particular agendas. And that was not the sort of leadership he intended to provide.

Nemazee answered that he had in no way insinuated that Dean should bring about a particular outcome, and was only calling for the chairman to take a more active role in exercising leadership. Nemazee said it needed to happen before the primaries, not after.

He also said, according to the attendee, that he found Dean's tone accusatory and "pejorative."

Nemazee left shortly after the exchange.

UPDATE: Here’s how one attendee, a Dean sympathizer, reconstructed Dean’s riposte to Nemazee: “You've been blunt with me, now let me blunt with you: people say they want leadership if it favors their argument and their candidate. You can't change the rules right now to do what you want without it seeming unfair to the other side."

Dean’s point, the attendee said, was that the most important thing for the party was that the loser feel that he or she had lost fairly, so that when it came time to rally around the nominee, the loser's donors would have no reservations about helping fund the campaign and the DNC.

After his response, Dean received applause -- primarily, one would suspect, from the Obama supporters in the room.

"Repubs just want to left alone by Government."

Yes, the voters do. It's your evil leaders we have a problem with.

It's not repug vs. dem or black vs. white or men vs. women ..

It's the top 1% versus every other soul on earth.

Wake up "fox"

It must be some confusion here, Fox.
It is hardly imaginable that someone working 60 hours a week while been among the top 1%...lol.

Remember Ruth in Oregon - a great Deaniac? She's got a story up about canvassing for Barack in Portland.

Thanks for the article, rd. We all need to ensure we have Howard's back and send the DNC money. Howard is in the job because he plays by the rules and the state party chairs love him! Screw the Clintonista's - I've had it.

Fox, you're off-the-wall, right-wing Republican corporate America has more rules and regulation than anyone.

The difference being the prerogative that benefits them

Here's a good example that restrict what Landlords can do on "their own property" but benefits corporations and tenants.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

INFORMATION SHEET

December 2007

Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule

Preemption of Restrictions on Placement of Direct Broadcast Satellite, Broadband Radio Service, and Television Broadcast Antennas

Yeah right Fred, that is why you complain about Repubs pushing deregulation all the time. Get it straight.

Yea, Fox, i talk about health and safety, regs and those environmental regulations that work for the common good and not one sector or industry.

I was working with asbestos comtaminated insulation in the early 1980's made by W.R. Grace. I actually agreed with Reagan on a lot of things, and now I feel like a fool.

Records show there was a Grace corporate effort to hush-hush evidence of people working in the mines, and their family getting cancer and asbestosis...

That was the same Grace CEO who ran that company, spear-headed Reagan's "GRACE COMMISSION" to find waste, inefficiency and over-regulation of industry (and your tax dollars, of course)

That's been the story of the waning Neocon revolution.  Get your foot in the door talking about effienciency and common sense, and then why you have the power, screw over the worker and the common man, to make a short-term corproate profit.

GO FIGURE.

Mrs Clinton's chief strategist, Mark Penn, has been forced to apologise after he was discovered lobbying for a free-trade agreement her campaign opposes.

The proposed Colombia trade agreement is bitterly opposed by trade unions and human rights groups, and there are growing calls on Mrs Clinton to axe him.

Mr Penn has kept his $3m (NZ$3.8m) a year job as head of the British-owned lobbying firm Burson-Marsteller while guiding Mrs Clinton's campaign.

The man who helped Bill Clinton get into the White House has produced some of Mrs Clinton's most effective ads, including the recent "3am in the morning" ad, which stressed her round-the-clock capacity for handling crises.

Mr Penn described his lobbying meeting with Colombia's ambassador as "an error of judgment".

Mrs Clinton's appeal among working-class voters has taken a further knock from revelations that she and her husband earned a combined $109m (NZ$138m) over the past eight years. This puts them in the top one-hundredth of 1 per cent of all US taxpayers.

Around half the Clintons' wealth came from former president Bill Clinton's speaking engagements on behalf of companies that have lavished money on Mrs Clinton's campaign  leading to questions over conflict of interest.

So you are support more regulation as a liberal and as a conservative I wish to reduce regulation and decrease the scope of federal government involvement in my and my families lives. It really is as simple as that. You believe your way is better for society, I believe it is not. That is the argument.

I think Howard is on one of the Sunday morning talk shows tomorrow.

===================

You are oversimplifying.

It is not a question of ------  regulation = bad ---  no regulations = good.

The so-called [neo] "conservative" the ideology  stipulates that any regulation which hinders  the efficient business machine, -- is bad - that free enterprize needs to be totally free of government regulation to work - this is wrong and not even true, as we are seeing with the present economic crisis, which was created by a sector deregulation.

No game can be played without rules and referrees.  If that happens, you don't have a game, you have an oligarchy.   The government represents the people, all the people, not just the business/corporate people.

off to take a bath - bbl

My son's two teams this year (UNC & UCLA) both lost. We were cheering on Kevin Love of UCLA, a hero from our former home town of Lake Oswego, OR. Oh well, next year...

Fox do you like Ron Paul, would you vote for him?

==================================

good one, puddle.  Never thought of air, food and water being "deregulated"  toxic and polluted, yes.  I guess its the same thing.

There is a such thing as a bad regulation, but living in a world with bad regulations that need to be addressed is light-years better than a world that throws out the rule book.

That is living in the bizarro world, like Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street, who loves being irritable and unkind to others, who gets embarrassed when people catch him saying something nice.

The neocons sold "global free trade" as a way to make the Chinese embrace our Western ideals.  What happened was the we embraced their lack of industrial responsibility, toxic disregard for life, and disregard for common human civil rights, and humane work conditions.   and the commies have their people under their tyranny and iron hand, as much as they did 20 years ago.
