Its that time again.

1st Democratic ad of the 2012 cycle

Republicans want Dems to fail.  Republicans (and some "centrists") are saying the President lost Ted Kennedy's Massachuttets Senate seat to a Republican because he has been acting so "left".  We shouldn't listen to them.  The truth has far from it, the Presidents, and Congressional Democrats, have been acting like republican-lite (in Deans old words).  They have been the party of beyond comprimise and have dispressed voter turnout in their base for it.  If we followed the Repugs "advice"  we would even lose more elections (if that is even possible).  Voters wanted change.  Obama ran against Bush.  Yet he has been implimenting some of the same Bu$h policies like suspending habeous corpus.  The soultion is simple, Dems need to develop a backbone and stand up for the interests that elected them in to office.  Otherwise why should liberals vote?

I have found the biggest wackjob "journalist" that I have ever read.

Not only is inaccurate, she outright lies.

Did I mention she thinks coups are ok.
Her justification,-because it helps the rich (In the 2nd poorest country in the Americas) and their overseas corporate friends.


Wow.

Today's Events, Thank yous

Maxine Waters tells it as it is. Thanks for the truth from one of the best House members.

Thanks Jeff Merkley for being an amazing new Senator, standing up for the people, not the powerful interest groups like big insurance. I am proud he is the new Senator from my state. He has impressed me.

Also thanks for Al Franken for his speech at the Sotomayor Judicial Committee confromation hearing. He blasted the Roberts court for not protecting individual liberties, something more rare now the many are in the pockets of big business.

Imperialize! Its our tradition.

musing to myself. -not intended for others-

Doesn't the increased cost of trans-world transportation displace/make up for the monetary gain of comparative advantage? If comparative advantage is a farce than global trade does not make a sum wealth and is therefore purely exploitation.

At the very least, cross-world transportation cuts into the creation of wealth for all, minimizing the pertinency/value of this argument for globalization justification and comparatively increasing the value of the exploitation or redistribution of wealth argument as a cause/motivator for globalization.
