From: The progressive case against Obama Bottom line: The president is complicit in creating an increasingly unequal -- and unjust -- society BY MATT STOLLER

"Obama has successfully organized the left part of the Democratic Party into a force that had rhetorically opposed war and civil liberties violations, but now cheerleads a weakened America too frightened to put Osama bin Laden on trial. We must fight this thuggish political culture Bush popularized, and Obama solidified in place."

From Freedom Rider: Not Voting for Obama by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley

“If Democrats also believe in wars of aggression and bail outs and subservience to finance capital, Republicans are only left with abortion and gay marriage as issues to differentiate themselves.”

One of many moving testimonials on "Women for Herman Cain."

Yvonne Settlemire

phoenix, AZ

"I am a single mom of three children and two have autism. I like what Mr Cain has to say. He the only one that wants to talk about the REAL issues. Im tired of all the side tracking of unimportant accusations by people from years and years ago. Today is what Im interested in. And the tomorrow of our country is what I want to be talked about. Im voting for Hermain Cain. Respectfully, Yvonne Settlemire "

Watching the GOP smugfest.  Projected winners:  AEI & PNAC. 

Just noticed that the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition event is being held at the Knapp Animal Learning Center which certainly puts it all in perspective.  In other news, yes I am watching same.  Love a circus.
