- GOP hones its core agenda
  Posted by Billbar from CNN
  Between now and the November elections, Republicans are penciling in plans to take action on social issues important to religious conservatives. Feeding some red meat to their base in hopes that this will get them out to vote this fall.

- MyDD :: Do Nothing Republicans Turn to "Social Issues"
  Posted by Damianmann from MyDD
  In a time of great weakness, the Do Nothing Republicans in Washington are resorting to their last option -- fairly trivial social legislation with no hope of passage -- to ensure that even if they are beaten this fall, their loss won't be catastrophic. But by playing not to lose badly, they are essentially conceding that they cannot win this year. Not the type of message a party's leadership usually sends out to its voters during an election year.

- Republicans plan anti-Reid ads on Spanish-language radio
  Posted by Billbar from Las Vegas Sun
  The ad campaign, funded by the Republican National Committee, criticizing Sen. Minority Leader Harry Reid for "playing politics" with immigration reform legislation. It blames Democrats for legislation that passed the Republican-controlled House that would make illegal immigrants subject to felony charges.

- Chocolate Eggs, Faith and the Democratic Party
  Posted by Billbar from firedoglake
  If religion and spirituality mean anything in public life it is that we have the choice to infuse the answers we uncover in private meditations into our public works. Where private faith and public works meet is a place where lives can be changed, the world moved. From Democrats it is a message of hope versus the Republican language of fear, war and almost certain doom.

- Politics as usual?
  Posted by Billbar
  Does it feel like we've entered a particularly unsettled political moment? Or is it politics as usual, hard fought, combative, tough? I've been in this media and political business for over 20 years now and to me it feels like the wheels are coming off in ways I've never felt before.

Canada to seek climate deal with Obama

This sounds like a good news story but iin reallity the Canadian government wants to secure concessions for that massive greenhous gas emmitter called the tar sands. They want to play America’s energy security worries off of climate change to ensure that the growth of the oil sands can continue unabated under supposedly tighter carbon emmissions restrictions.

You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.
However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

. . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.
i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this. otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.
