    TEXAS now in play? Is that a typo?
    masbury
    by masbury  8-11-2009    1
     Gallup shows only 5 states leaning or solidly Republican while 37 are solidly or leaning D. Eight new Red states, including Texas (which now polls 42% D, 40% R) are solidly in play. Perhaps Democrats owe a debt of gratitude to birthers, Palin and Limbaugh, and "death panel" politics. Now we'll see if they have the courage to step up and do something worthwhile.

     Which is why they want to delay it: with the industry spending a million and a half every day to lobby Congress and America, the GOP's betting the industry will be the last one standing

    masbury
    by masbury  5-18-2009    3
     Keyes, years ago, seemed like a respectable hard right type; he has since become one of the most outrageous liars in American politics - and he should be publicly labeled so.

    Obama: ensuring science is never twisted by ideology
    masbury
    by masbury  12-20-2008    2
     Nominating genuine heavy-hitting scientists as advisors, he pitches listening to science especially when it's inconvenient. I'd call that change.

    Prevent bailouts? Prohibit campaign contributions
    masbury
    by masbury  10-3-2008   
     We must advance to a system where elections are publicly funded and private donations are prohibited. Both of our candidates are connected by money to the banking industry. The industry's influence toward killing regulation far exceeds the public's influence in preserving it. Separating money from politics - as other nations have long done - is the only way home.
