Hooked on Hope

The '38 losses were due to exactly what Obama's done -- Caved to conservatives and took his foot off the gas (stimulis, pumping money into the economy, giving money to people to spend) and the recovery stalled and dipped back into the Depression, just as is happening now.

Palin Steps On Romney's Campaign Launch After He Aided Her 2006 Gov Run

As a liberal who is not an Obama supporter, I tell you that you are helping the DLC to control the Democratic Party and keep the party to the right of center (even moving it farther to the right) by wanting Palin as a candidate -- You help Obama serve the interests of the rich and corporate, and not the interests of Democratic voters.

Palin Steps On Romney's Campaign Launch After He Aided Her 2006 Gov Run

The media's obsession with her (a private citizen, undeclared for running for any office, on what she's calling a family vacation) is in a way the media's attempt to turn the election for Obama -- At the very least, it's the media's attempt to make her news.

Obama Rebuffs Democratic Plea To Be More Forceful

Obama and other Democratic leaders have also said that Medicare is "on the table" -- The key to understanding Obama is listening carefully to his choice of words -- Serrano may have heard "Medicare is not negotiable", but I guarantee you that isn't actually what Obama said -- Obama is a practitioner of lawyer-speak.

Of course it's to Palin's benefit to play it this way -- But it's the media that's "stepping" on Romney's launch by playing along with Palin -- If the media didn't follow along, she'd have to find a direct way to get into the news, like announcing she was a candidate and having to face the media full on, answering direct questions on the issues.

It's at your expense (and without her having to comply with federal rules on campaign spending) because you let her get away with not having to declare she's a candidate -- She's getting all of the benefits of being a candidate without any of the accountability -- The media's treating her as if she's newsworthy, and letting her little girl run interference between her and the press questioning her for real, is letting her become a viable candidate and/or king-maker.

Corporations are paying the lowest taxes (lower than other nations, lowest ever in US history) AND are receiving tax subsidies, incentives, for offshoring factories and Americans' jobs.

Do you support the government's continuing to give tax breaks and subsidies to the OIL INDUSTRY, which is enjoying the greatest profits in its history, all while having regulations removed and expanded drilling in environmentally sensitive areas?

Do you support privatizing of government services (all which costs consumers more, not less), with less accountability to the citizen and consumer?

This, and more examples like it, is what's destroying the middle class and our country, and is what is supported by both Republican and DLC-controlled Democrats (Obama included).
