You're right DI

The whole "Pro-life" vs. "Pro-Choice" dichotomy is false anyway. IMHO you're either "Pro-Choice" (believing that people should make their own choices when it comes to abortion and that government shouldn't regulate it much if at all) or "Anti-Abortion" (believing that government should actively seek to make abortion illegal under pretty much all circumstances). Unless you're a serial killer/psychopath, just about everybody is "Pro-Life" (or at least I don't know of anybody who actually describes themselves as "Pro-Death" or "Pro-Abortion" for that matter). I do seriously question, however, the credentials of people whom claim to be "Pro-Life" but seem to have an unhealthy obsession with the death penalty and/or unwarranted military aggression.

When (or where) does this lunacy end?

The Repubs must be getting desperate to get President Obama off the ballot in Arizona. Is Arizona in danger of going......gulp......BLUE this year?



I wonder how the residents of Arizona feel about their taxes going to pay for this birther nonsense? I think even Iowa Republicans are starting to get into this birther nonsense as well.

President Obama has more paths to victory than Romney does

Everything has to break "just right" for Romney to win in November and, frankly, President Obama has a much better organized "boots on the ground" effort and is capable of generating more enthusiasm in general than R.Money (hey, how's YOUR crowd sizes, hmmm? ). However, we need to avoid thinking it's over and done with yet. The Republicans will be unloading a mighty arsenal of negative campaigning and using virtually limitless funds against President Obama and using whatever other tricks they can to keep otherwise eligible voters from the polls. IMHO we need to work like everything is up for grabs because it very well might be. Remember, polls are meaningless if people don't actually show up at the voting booth and cast a vote.

Obama is most divisive POTUS ever!

and I guess that Romney and the GOP will have us all singing "Kum-by-ah" by the time the election is over?

Isn't he good pals with Christie?

I thought that Good Morning America had described Booker as a Democrat that Christie could "reach across the aisle with". Guess that makes pretty good sense now. *ugh* I guess he's decided to play this year's "Democratic turncoat" role just like Zell Miller (2004) and Joe Liberman (2008) have done during the past two elections. Wonder if he will be a guest speaker at the RNC. I can bet the Obama campaign is going nuts over this right now!


Hopefully, Booker's denunciation can and will be dismissed as an aberration. I'm sure that- at the very least- he won't have an ongoing role as a "surrogate" for the campaign. *smh*

Nothing brings out the craziness among the right-wing than when they lose what they feel

is RIGHTfully theirs. Some people have mentioned that they think that Republicans essentially feel entitled to power and whenever they screw up and lose it they can't simply accept it as a legitimate (i.e. Democrats cheat to win elections) because- to them-they are supposed to win every single time no matter what. They are ultimate sore losers. They also have no compunctions about fighting dirty and using scorched earth tactics and if they aren't in power- as we have seen since 2009- they are determined to ensure that Democratic Presidents and Democratic-controlled Congresses can't get much done and that they get the blame for the political fallout, thus ensuring that they get their power back. Unfortunately, too many people either end up falling for it or simply fail to adequately fight against it thus ensuring that they repeatedly get back in power to create more mess. We must somehow find a way to break this cycle, as well as the stranglehold that the crazies have gotten over the country! Demographically, they can't keep it up forever but they will still try to hold on- gaming the system as much as possible- until their "base" is essentially too minute to keep winning elections at the level they are presently.

Gotta start getting people conditioned

to accept an even lower station of existence and subservience to the holy "job creators"?

So

now President Obama is to blame for proposed race-bating anti-Obama attack ads too? Seriously? *ugh* WTF? I guess that I now understand why they constantly accuse President Obama of being "polarizing" too.

The Republicans

Really were *helpful* about making sure President Obama kept all of his promises too.


However, all in all, President Obama has a pretty significant (and real) list of accomplishments in spite of them- unlike a certain former WH occupant

The Republicans get more airtime complaining about Obama (rightly) blaming Bush than Obama gets trying to explain his solutions to fix Bush's mess.
