Anti-War Republicans?
Yeah, both of ‘em.

I have no tears for McCaskill—she’s a practicing blue dog and deserves to be retired like Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas. Missouri won’t wake up until the inmates control their asylum. We’re already seeing attempts to rescind child labor laws. Mark Twain sure doesn’t live here anymore.

I agree with many that it would be easier, cheaper, quicker, etc. to just commandeer the existing shell of the Democratic Party. Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, etc. will reveal new and real progressive Democrats. We need to purge the party of DINOs and frauds like BHO.

What we’re seeing is a concentrated efforts to close whatever “commons” remain (i.e. AT&T and the internet). It is going to take all of our time, money and votes to beat back this well-financed and coordinated effort from the masterbaters of the universe.

Has anyone seen Obama since this started?—why is he getting a free pass for hiding out from his base?

BTW, the famous founding fathers were aware of this, they just thought the “marketplace of ideas” would be a busy place. They didn’t factor in late stage Capitalism with its preference for monopoly vs,. marketplace.

We need to wake up here, a journalist is an employee—not a free agent. Why is anyone surprised when they toe the company line, whether in Washington, New York or South Succotash. Objectivity is a joke—always has been.

Could any of the commenters summarize for me the total amount of support for the people of Wisconsin to date, by Obama. Do we ever know when we can count on this guy?

I didn’t hear the POTUS Saturday broadcast—did he even mention WI, OH, etc.?

You know what’s really hard? Try to find one of these Neocon perpetual Risk players with a record of military service. They’re all draft dodgers.

When are the people going to wake and realize that there is indeed a class war in America and we’re losing.

The good news is Kansas has very few young or urban. They do much better in the poor category. Add Kansas to the list of States I will not knowingly support economically. This list includes Arizona, South Dakota, Indiana and the old Confederacy.

Progressives have to put aside their POTUS fetish and take time to discipline the Blue Dogs. Can we agree that it is open season on Blue Dogs from this point on? There are 25 or so in the House and many in the Senate. While whacking Blue Dogs we have to also examine such sell-outs as Kucinich and Durbin. A Progressive Congress is critical to foil any village idiot the Republicans and MSM choose to elect in 2012.

Like those above, I’m on to PINO (Progressive in Name Only) politicians who protest for us in public and vote against us in private. The question, for years now, has been what to do about it. If we would have made it a priority I believe we could have saved Grayson or Feingold.

We are a borderline Failed State. It calls for dramatic action if we are going to reverse this march to fascism.

We laugh at the tea party and point out their illiterate signs—but they have put their party on notice. We have not. We’re still arguing over Obama’s chess moves. Someone of us is always there to give us the “lesser of two evils” admonishment.

We need leaders with passion rather than a vocabulary. Bloggers like Jane, Rachel, Randi, etc. can aid and abet but they can’t lead. BTW, how many people give Nader credit today for calling out Obama as the corporatist he is back in 2008?

I agree with Kafka. Pelosi, Reed & Co should just dig in their cowardly heels a la Republicans, and delay until Dec 31, when they all expire. They certainly don’t need a 60 vote majority in the Senate to pull it off. Then Mr. Bipartisan could promise tax cuts for those under $250,000 income in his 2012 campaign—doubt that anyone would believe this time though.
