Williams, Fox, NPR

WORTH REPEATING UNTIL THESE RIGHT WING FANATICS GET IT ----Williams has been WAY over the line with his "commentary" on Fox for many years. His recent Muslims-on-a-plane hate blast was just the straw that broke the camel's back at NPR.

Remember Juan's insulting reference to First Lady Michelle Obama as "Stokely Carmichael in a designer dress"? What if Juan had insulted Laura Bush in that way? Would the teabaggers then have defended Juan's First Amendment rights to insult Mrs. Bush? Don't hold your breath.

Let Juan collect his 2 million pieces of silver from Fox and then turn your back on him as most folks of goodwill already do.

Republicans vs. Democrats

These tea-bagger Tea Party Republicans want to 1. “phase out” Social Security and Medicare; 2. make unemployment benefits “unconstitutional”; 3. say that minimum wage should “absolutely” be abolished; 4. question the legality of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; 5. claim that Obama’s new health-insurance law violates the Constitution; and they want to repeal existing Amendments to the Constitution which would take us back to Slavery and Segregation.

AND IN THE SENATE, They RECENTLY all voted to prevent our Country from STOPPING BIG CORPORATIONS FROM TAKING OUR JOBS OVERSEAS. If that is not what you want for our country, now is the time to stand up and vote.

Americans more sane than Tea Bag Republicans

Americans continue to see major areas of government spending as essential. Whether it is Medicare, Social Security, national defense, food stamps, education, unemployment benefits or environmental protection, about nine in 10 call these programs at least somewhat important.

On two government programs, Social Security and Medicare, there have been modest declines in the percentage of Americans calling the programs "very important," but overall the changes have been limited.

Food stamps, which former House speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) has tried to make an issue in the campaign this fall, are seen as vital by more than four in 10 Americans, significantly more than was said in the late 1990s.

When all these big companies gave their high-ranking officials pay raises, it took away from the low to moderate community," she said. "The big-name companies . . . have done it to us little people.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the Bush administration's actions made the economy worse.

Whatever dissatisfaction Americans might have about the way Washington works, however, nearly eight in 10 say that whatever its faults, the American system is the best in the world.

So called Tea Party people are really just right wingnut republicans. They run as the republicans that they are.

NRA endorses Democratic candidates

So far this year, the NRA has endorsed 58 incumbent House Democrats, including more than a dozen in seats that both parties view as critical to winning a majority.

The group's most notable move was to choose not to issue an endorsement in Nevada. The NRA has endorsed a handful of Democratic governors, including such embattled incumbents as Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and Iowa Gov. Chet Culver.

Rep. Travis Childers (D-Miss.), who faces a tough reelection race against Republican Alan Nunnelee, got an A-plus rating from the NRA in June, plus an endorsement.

thinking republicans leave the liars behind

Clinton has been by replaced by Obama as the victim of the malicious rumors circulated on right-wing radio. And if Republicans take over Congress, they will surely seek to embarrass the administration through investigations in the same manner as they did to Clinton.

The republicans have always been successful in demonizing their democratic targets. That is what they always do. AND why is that so? It is because those republicans remaining in the party are ditto heads, they believe what their right wingnut leaders tell them. Thinking republicans have migrated to be either indedpendents or democrats.
