Click To Play When Ron Paul seems like the most sensible candidate in a debate of 4 generic Republicans speak volume of the state of the party.

My daughter submitted an iReport for the “I Am America” series at CNN. She Skyped me up from Austin and said “Daaaad, guess what. CNN just emailed me and said they wanted to interview me for the iReport submission I made. What should I do?” I said “Duh, do the interview!” She was a bit nervous. She had some problems scheduling time between her classes but ran back to her apartment a few minutes before the call. She Skyped me just before the call and ask me if she needed to wear anything special. Asking me a question like that is like a model asking a hobo how to dress. I told her I don’t know, just wear clothes, like whatever you have on. After the interview she skyped back and said she was a little nervous but it went well. She said they asked her to submit some picture and videos. I think she did a wonderful job. And that is an unbiased opinion.

So says Russ Feingold in an interview with Huffington Post. Many liberals and “progressives” already know this. He details the naivety and simpleton-ness of the crop of what can only be considered imbeciles running to be the GOP nominee for president. If President Obama runs a fact based and issue based campaign while many Americans will fall for the Republican shenanigans, misinformation, and fallacies, most will ultimately look out for what is best for themselves, their communities and their country. Americans did this in 2008 but stayed out of the game in 2010. We must learn our lesson. Allowing the Right Wing and Tea Party to usurp our politics has severely delayed our recovery. This must not happen in 2012. Russ Feingold: 'It's A Threat To Our Country' To Elect One Of The GOP Presidential Candidates Amanda Terkel Senior Political Reporter, The Huffington Post WASHINGTON -- America has largely turned its focus away from foreign policy and civil liberties since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist … [Read more...]
President Obama’s budget is out. Do not allow the demonization of the President’s budget. Inasmuch as it is unlikely to get traction in Congress, it will be used as the attack piece by the GOP. It is not perfect but in the climate of a confused America it is simple to understand and is the best option out there for the middle class. It at least will not put the totality of the suffering on the middle class while leaving those that have pilfered the country’s wealth untouched. What is sad is that as a rich country we really neither have a “real” spending problem as most of the spending sans corporate giveaways is spending the different constituencies actually want, or a shortage to pay for these outlays. We are short sighted in that inasmuch as all data indicate that the hoarding of capital by the few reduces economic growth, we still refuse to acknowledge that a robust taxing system is necessary to control the ill effects of capitalism that cannot be mitigated equitably in any other form. Until we … [Read more...]
