I think it is more then just the media for example Romney is being advised by a bunch of the Bush gang. I Could be wrong but I think Wolfowitz is one of them. Funny thing is those advisor's are all from the CFR, the same group that Hillary and Cheney are members.

I can see a debate between Obama/Romney :
Obama " Under my watch the U S and Israel will take military action against Iran before they build a nuclear weapon"
Romney: see above

It would take several pages to respond, and books have been written on the subject, but just for starters lets take a look at what a real expert, now deceased, said shortly before his death. Gus Hall was the long time head of the American Communist Party, CPUSA. Mr. Hall, who passed away in 2000, made the observation that he was absolutely delighted because the Democratic Party had adopted as policy and planks many of the things that the Party had long advocated. Hall stated that much of his work had already been done by the Democrats. This was in 2000. Now observe how much farther to to the left the Democratic Party has swung since then. Does that kind of point out the direction to take when seeking the answer to the question?

How does $15.06 a week for 8 weeks equal $1000?

Lot's of fights involve taking a step back to regroup and affirm your principles.

Your number 1 principle can't be win no matter what he does.

When politicians realize you they can take your vote for granted. You lose all leverage with them.
Meanwhile we dig that hole deeper as a country?

If you don't like tax cuts for the middle class and want to be a real GOP minion, send the tax cuts you are going to receive because of Obama and the dems to the CEO or other millionaire of your choice.

Not even close. Saying that one man was "pleased" with the democratic party means they are somehow the extreme left branch of marxism is asinine. I could easily say David Duke ran and supports the republican party, that means the GOP are the branch of the extreme right KKK, and that was a while ago, just imagine how extreme they are today

I disagree. Were you among those, including republicans, who saw him as an extreme leftist? Sounds like it.
