I called arlen specter's office and asked if our local republican organizer, J Matt Wolfe, does more or less than a small town mayor or PTA president for the local republican party.
I'm going to call back and ask about Paul revere.

hate and fear distract. Hate and fear won't fill empty bellies or put a roof over our heads.

Yesterday I heard a disgusting news item on NPR's All Things Considered

Betcha, the GOP won't talk about this at their convention.

In Ohio, there are special routing for school buses to pick up HOMELESS kids to bring them to school.

Homeless kids. Yet in one Ohio town there are 40,000 empty houses. You got to be kidding. ---while we bail out Wall Street by the trillions and they're crying for more.

This is America, the result of eight years of Bush's economy.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

"
Last night we saw Tonya Harding with a speechwriter. She offered almost nothing of substance. She's positive we should be paranoid. She mocked constitutional rights. Well screw you, Nananook of the Nazis. The stuff about putting the governor's jet on E-Bay was cute but other than that she did what reactionaries always accused hippies of doing -- she tore down but she didn't build up. She did something that no hippie was ever accused of doing, she fortified the luxury bunker where the rich and powerful hide. The creepy thing is that she did it in the guise of an American every woman. She sold herself as a great administrator, even though she couldn't manage to keep a carwash open in the the muddiest state in the union. . "
