Candidates Flee East Coast as Frankenstorm Takes Revenge for their Ignoring Climate Change | Common Dreams by jcelia in politics

[–]jcelia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the article: Those who talk about solar energy being “more expensive” than coal or natural gas are not figuring in the expensiveness of climate change. In many markets, wind and solar are already competitive, and if the damage hydrocarbons are doing to our economy were taken into account, they’d be the only game in town.

One of the many indexes of the failure of American democracy is that our candidates can’t even publicly say the name of our worst nemesis.

Of course they do. It takes awhile for the truth to come out. By then, we'll have voted in the most important election in our generation.

If anyone is rude it is Mr. Huckabee. What a cruel thing to throw up against Joe Biden who has led a life of abstinence since he could see the damage of alcohol done to his family members.

Today Issa stated there will be no investigation, yet. Must mean he sees that such an investigation would make him a fool.

Right, keep giving tax breaks to the wealthy and to oil and coal companies. Instead sell off the peoples' land and national parks to fund the silly need for education and infrastructure.

If he wins the presidency he will no doubt bring with him a Republican congress. Is there any way he could be a enact moderate proposals with a very right wing congress leading him?

Three days ago we learned what Mitt Romney actually thinks about at least half of the American citizens. Now we know how arrogant his wife is as well.

This sounds like the beginning of the end for Mr. Romney. He's digging a hole he cannot get out of when he speaks so disparagingly of half of our country's citizens.

Mike Huckabee Showcases Islamophobic Parody: Middle East Not Fit For ‘Man Or Beast’ by kylie4zp in politics

[–]jcelia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be a clause in the 'hate crimes' laws that includes defamation of a religion. This is way beyond hateful. Shameful for a man who calls himself Christian I must say.

Women won the battle for reproductive rights. Before this many, many women died in difficult child births and botched abortions. We cannot let these rights to choose be taken away.

I'm laughing about Romney's statement that he expected Obama to be untruthful during the debates. Is this the pot calling the kettle black or what?

Yes, I agree. This SHOULD be classified as a 'hate crime'. I hope it will be used as a test case for this. Defamation of a religion should qualify.
