Where is the DNC. This is just like 2010. They abandoned the States. That is why we have Walker in the first place. That is why we Kasich in Ohio. It is why we have the largest medicare fraud charge Scott in Florida. They are not wanting to spend money on State issues. I am sure they will show up after the election for a fund raiser. I believe Debbie Wasserman Schultz tweeted that.

Occupy should think about setting up a cloud system where the occupy journalist can stream their coverage as they film it. That way the coverage will not be at home, on your phone or in your camera. You would probably want a cloud area for capture with someone monitoring to pull data as soon as it arrives and take it to another system to store. Remember that these people are playing for keeps. Protect yourself.

It is time that we recognize that as a nation we have turned a corner on press and individual freedom. It might be useful to have non-journalist follow reporting crews wired for video and sound. This will only help marginally if the journalist want to document their treatment. The establishment, Bush or Obama or whoever, have been establishing the tools to abrogate the constitutional protections for press and individuals. The fact that the NDAA may go before the SCOTUS does little to protect the individual. As the training efforts of the last two years, that is how the establishment views Occupy, their methods are escalating. It would be wise for the Occupy Journalists to have a way to check in,no internet twitter or facebook perhaps a buddy system, that members of the alternative press can make sure that no one disappears. NDAA gives them the authority for you to disappear and never be heard from again. If someone should inquire where you disappeared to, the establishment press will go with the government provided leaks about the seedier associations that you have. This is not the establishment of the 60s or 70s. This is the group that has attained where Nixon wanted to take his police establishment. You now have all corporate institutions creating a para-military strike force. Be careful out there and look out for your compatriots.

It is terrible that the Repubs are trying to suppress voting through Voter-ID laws. I don’t think it does anything to continue to complain that they are doing this. They have no conscience in this area. We will not shame them into stopping. My Question is where is the Democratic party in all of this? We know they have been working on this since the 2010 elections. Why is there no drive to get people voter-ids. Getting the elderly and minorities the proper identification to vote would be much more effective than a 30 second ad. Why not take the money from on ad buy and use it to pay the fees and organizational costs of actively helping people with their documentation and taking them to the DMV to get a State ID. The resultant legitimate voters would be more loyal to you for this act than they would for a 30 second Etch-a-sketch ad buy. Continually doing stories about the Repubs suppressing the vote is not news. That is part of who they are. Beating them at their own game would be much more satisfying and effective.

Great, now you have just given some Repub a new idea to have Date of conception listed on DL. Members of the Transvaginal party will not stop they change the law on women voting and owning property.

All one need do is look at the Affordable Care Act. We were, and have been, told that they could not use reconciliation to pass the ACA with a public option. Yet during the lame duck when they had to pass the weak act without the public option, they pulled out the reconciliation card. So the reality is they couldn’t use reconciliation for progressive bills, only for retread (Romany) Repub ideas.

I believe the correct reference he was trying to tie to was
“Romper Bomper Stomper Bo
Tell me tell me tell me true
Have all my little Do Bees
Been good today”

Where is the Democratic party. They need to get a voter ID drive going. Take some money that you might spend on an ad and pay for peoples Government ID. We need some community organizing here. We need to occupy the voter suppression. The best way to handle this is to have a major ID/registration drive. Take pools of citizens to the DMV to get the ID. If, like in Ohio, they are closing DMV offices in the poorer areas, bus them to a rich area to get their ID. Quit crying about it. The Repubs have been broadcasting that they were going to do this for two years now. Do you think whining about the unfairness of it will make them stop. Make the party participate, get the people the IDs.

Nice pantload. These same Repubs are closing the DMVs in the minority and elderly areas, making it harder to get the IDs. $5 is only for the ID itself. Many of the elderly will have to pay more to get birth certificate documentation. That is why the the DNC should be organizing and paying for those in need to get their IDs.

It is time for the Democrats to stop complaining that the Repubs are passing voter suppression laws and do something about it. We have known that they have been working on this for the past two years. Why has no Democratic organization spent any money to remedy the situation. If they are making it so everyone needs to have an ID, then we need to get those potential voters an ID. Go into Virginia and start bringing the elderly and minorities to the DMV to get ID. Help the get the documentation required for this and pay for their ID. IT will cost less and be much more effective than an ad about the voter suppression. This might even be a great task for the occupy movement. While you are trucking the potential voters to get their ID, then you can make an effective Ad about how their (Repubs) voter suppression tactics will not work. Crying about the fact that Repubs are undemocratic and unfair is already pretty well known.

My understanding is that she has pushed for cutting funding to institutions that do Stem Cell research.

You would do it because right now you owe 300,000 on a 250,000 house at say 9%. No regular bank will refi 300,000 because your collateral is only now worth 250,000. This program allows you to refi the whole nut (amount of loan) at a much lower interest rate. You are still screwed on being underwater, but the payments become more manageable due to the new interest rate. The hope being if you stay in the house it will eventually go back up in value. The monthly difference could for many people be the difference between staying in your home or defaulting.

I think it is time for Holder to resign. He failed to even investigate anyone involved in torture or civil rights violations from the previous administration. Now he can not find anyone to prosecute in the banking/brokerage/Insurance scandal that caused the economy to collapse. For his final malfeasance he is pushing for a weak settlement that has a low balled settlement payout and fine, no admission of wrong doing, no criminal charges, no further investigation into practices. He has been much harder on Medicinal Marijuana shops. He is the weakest AG the US has ever had, including Kleindienst.

Gingrich is a master political (evil) mastermind. His attack on King was a superb masterpiece in aggression redirection. Unlike Mitt being dogged by his committing all of the tax indiscretions of the top 1%, which will follow him no matter how long he delays or obfuscates, Newt just needed to take the sting out of the story to allow people to process what the complaint really is here. Newts second wife was the adulteress offending Newts first wife. She was Callista before he knew Callista. She was the offending woman that Newt was having his extra marital sex with. For her to be surprised and shocked that Newt would have an affair seems ridiculous. Newt has been having mistresses throughout his entire married life, regardless of whom the wife at any given time might be. If Callista gets ill and Newt starts looking for a younger trade in model, she should not be surprised. I thought with the ABC tease that wife number two had a career ending revelation, like he was involved in some Santorum Man on Dog behavior or at least some devil worshiping. The big get was that after 6 years of an affair with Callista he asked the woman that he used to have sex with while married to wife number 1 if she could get behind an open marriage. That was like a news breaking story that Trump does a comb over.

When is Ortly Taitz and the birther crowd going to complain that Romney is not native Born. One of the approaches to invalidating Obvama is to say that natural born means both parents where born in the US. Romney’s father is hispanic (not really) born in Mexico.
