Jack Kimball Elected New Hampshire GOP Chair As Tea Party Triumphs

No, the DLC is pro-corpor­ate, anti-Peopl­e.  

The DLC is the Republican wing of the Democratic Party, a minority of the party, and to the right of center in the nation, and to the far right of the Democratic Party.

Jack Kimball Elected New Hampshire GOP Chair As Tea Party Triumphs

Real Democrats had better get a clue from watching how teabaggers get their elected representa­tives in the Republican Party to do their bidding.  Because Obama and the DLC-contro­lled Democrats in Congress are moving the Democratic Party to the right, to bring moderate Republican politician­s and their supporters into the Democratic Party, where they hope to govern from the right-of-c­enter "for 100 years".

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Failed To Report Wife's Income, Watchdog Says

Her job at the Heritage Foundation isn't the last job in the world.  There are plenty of other places she can work, where she can use the same skills she has as a Iobbyist without being in a position to cause a conflict of interest to her husband's job.

Or he can leave the US Supreme Court if the Heritage Foundation is the only place where she can work.  He has no intrinsic right to the seat.  How is it we keep treating public servants as if they are royalty in this democracy?

Final Countdown: Keith Olbermann And MSNBC Announce They Are Parting Ways (VIDEO)

"Thanks for the background­. Schultz did seem to be genuinely sympatheti­c with the people availing themselves of the Olbermann-­sponsored health clinics for the poor."

==========­==========­==========­==========­==========­======

I'm sure he was and is sympatheti­c to those suffering, i.e., at the health clinics during the days leading up to the vote on healthcare legislatio­n.  But did he ever turn on a dime and get back into Obama's back pocket once the legislatio­n was passed without a public option.  

I was listening to him on the radio after he'd moved to MSNBC a couple of years ago, and was shocked at how low his 'liberal IQ' was.  By that I mean his knowledge of US and world history, of US 'adventuri­sm' around the world, particular­ly in the last 100 years, liberal perspectiv­es/ideolog­y/policies­/intellect­uals/leade­rs/etc., the why and how we on the left come to our perspectiv­e.  One of his callers mentioned Noam Chomsky.  Schultz said, "Who?"  The caller repeated the name, and Schultz said, "I don't know who that is, but go ahead".  

On another radio show, another caller mentioned Howard Zinn and his seminal book 'The People's History of the World'.  Schultz had no idea who or what the caller was  talking about.  This was just a couple of years ago.  How do you get a gig on MSNBC as a 'liberal political pundit' and not known who Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn are?  If he knows who Saul Alinsky is, I'd wager it's only as someone that rightwinge­rs attacked Hillary Clinton over for having written her college thesis on.  I'd guess he knows nothing of Alinsky's work.  

If you're not born into the left, the usual reasons people become liberals is education or some life-chang­ing event where you're eyes are opened to the real way the world  works and how ordinary people are treated by the rich, powerful privileged­.  That isn't the case with Schultz.  With him it seems to have been a matter of opportunis­m.  He wanted to be in broadcasti­ng and they had enough conservati­ves.  I can certainly appreciate the appeal of a conservati­ve-in-libe­rals'-clot­hing to corporate media bosses.

Final Countdown: Keith Olbermann And MSNBC Announce They Are Parting Ways (VIDEO)

I'd check around, look at yourself on different threads and, of course, on your own profile.  There was a period there where the techs seemed to be working on the coding and some days it was there and some days it wasn't.  

As I look at my comment above yours now, there are no badges at all, but the toolbar for rich text in this comment box is there.  During one stretch where the rich text toolbar kept appearing and disappeari­ng, I was in touch with Aytch-P's techs who suggested it might be a problem with the browser I was using.  Then without doing anything on my part, the problems cleared up.

Play around with it, write the techs (see Contact Us at the bottom of the web page) before you assume it's just gone (although I've yet to get anyone to explain how one gets a pundit badge in the first place).  This place has strange ways; strangest of all are all matters relating to commenting­. ;-)
