We’re six weeks out from the November 2nd elections — and the President is fired up. Thousands of you have already answered the President’s call to donate, volunteer, and commit to vote — but it’s going to take all of us to stay aggressive over the next six weeks. And, as the President said, the […]

Blame ourselves for lack of enthusiasm not The President #p2 #tcot #teaparty
Why There’s an Enthusiasm Gap? Don’t Blame The President, Blame Ourselves. I agree with Robert Reich that it would have been great for the President to have stated the 7 facts in his article after the grossly rich hedge-fund manager complained that Wall Street executives “feel like we’ve been whacked with a stick” by the […]
Obama Should’ve Chosen OMB DIr That Understand Corps Lead Class Warfare On Middleclass #p2 #tcot #teaparty
Geithner,Summers, & now Lew. How can business leaders continue to claim that President Obama is an anti-business president. President Obama has bent over backward in fact at the expense of the middleclass to ensure that the financial and corporate sectors were stabilized securing the supremacy of our style of corrupt capitalism. It is sad that […]
For the Unemployed Over 50, Fears of Never Working Again REALLY NYTIMES? #p2 #tcot #teaparty
The following article in the New York times while it reveals what is happening (something older workers have been aware of for year) does a disservice to the reader in not exploring the policies that are causal. It is negligent that the healthcare issue was just barely eluded to. Older workers will not be hired […]
Houston Chronicle endorses Bill White for Texas governor #p2 #tcot #teaparty
Texas needs a change. Texas governor Rick Perry has played politics with policies that have material impact on real middle class Texan’s lives. As a Texan with a wife with a pre-existing condition, I was appalled that he refused the the Healthcare Reform funds for the high risk healthcare pool. He refused the stimulus fund […]
Obama Will Triumph – So Will America #p2 #tcot #teaparty
I received this positive email Obama narrative from my mother a few minutes ago. It is the first positive Obama email I’ve received in a while. I decided to find the original blog entry and repost, references Frank Schaeffer’s blog site. This narrative is a bit dated in that more legislation positive to the middleclass […]
Huckabee Opposes Insurance For People With Pre-Existing Conditions (AUDIO) | TPMDC
When Republicans attack health care reform, Democrats like to counter by accusing Republicans of wanting to repeal a law that requires insurance companies to cover people with pre-existing conditions. According to Republican Presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, that’s exactly right. People with pre-existing conditions, he explains are like houses that have already burned down. "It […]
Prez Obama warns of corporations taking our democracy #p2 #tcot #teaparty
OBAMA WARNS OF ‘CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF OUR DEMOCRACY’…. We talked earlier this week about far-right interest groups collecting millions for attack ads, all in support of Republican candidates, and financed through shadowy groups awash in undisclosed donations. The NYT raised the specter of "a relatively small cadre of deep-pocketed donors, unknown to the general […]
FoxNews Sues MO Senator For Running One of their few truthful statements #p2 #tcot #teaparty
Fox News has filed an unusual lawsuit against the Democratic nominee for Senate in Missouri, Robin Carnahan, over a campaign ad that uses video from “Fox News Sunday” to take a shot at her Republican opponent, Rep. Roy Blunt. In the suit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Mo., Fox contends that […]
Class Warfare Started 30 years ago – Middleclass Income Down/Upper Class Income Up #p2 #tcot #teaparty
It is great that WSJ is given some time to this issue now. Most Americans already new they were falling behind. Unfortunately there is nothing on the immediate horizon that will take the middleclass back to a growing path because for all practical purposes the titans of finance have unpatriotically sold out our country in […]
