Do you honestly believe there's even a remote chance there will ever be enough support in the Senate to push through a bill federally limiting access to abortions?

Right, there's an unbiased source

From your link:

Among Blue America pages you will find actions dedicated to specific endeavors, like defeating Blue Dogs, rewarding members of Congress who have been fighting for meaningful health care or for ending the disastrous occupation of Afghanistan (http://www.actblue.com/page/afghanistan - broken link). There is even a page dedicated specifically to giving props to progressive hero Alan Grayson (http://www.actblue.com/page/grayson - broken link) and one dedicated to the best challengers running for the U.S. Senate this year (http://www.actblue.com/page/mayprimaries - broken link). I'm kind of partial to the one that Digby came up with to send a message to the Inside the Beltway Establishment by supporting BETTER Democrats, the non-corporate kind.
Funny thing is liberals wouldn't be spending so much time trying to discredit a candidate if they weren't truly afraid of that candidate winning. Given Harry Reid's abysmal track record with regard to representing the interests of his constituents I suppose I can understand why Democrats are spending more time trying to point out issues with their opposition than they are spending trying to highlight Reid's accomplishments.

I'll give Harry credit for one thing. He voted correctly on the DREAM act today. It's a shame his votes only reflect the wishes of his constituents when he's afraid of losing his job.

Socially speaking, Tea Partier's seem extreme in that they represent the failure of the American education system. They (and Fox News) remind me of the 8th grader I worked with who was illiterate but had a lot of opinions, belonged to a gang and was patriotic.

So uh, what do you do with that?

I see it a lot. It's strange. And sad.

Just as the Tea Partiers are. I wonder about the longevity of their movement. In this day and age when "virtual" online support means so much, I guess one could surmise that the Tea Party is not attracting a lot of "young" folks. Their websites suck. That's a design opinion, not a political opinion.

Sorry, but Tea Party websites are really lame. I'm sure they have better things to think about though.

I can't ever get Social Security or Medicare - I got out of the system decades ago. Haven't paid into the "system" either. So, do what you want with it.
