I especially love his talk about "not abandoning our posts" when military service is conspicuously absent from his resume during a time of war.

Remember the 2007 video about the College Republican convention, how they all supported the war and the military...as long as it was someone else? "Stay at your post" Mike was a little older, but the exact same type.

instead of coming together for the betterment of America and its people these devils want to destroy it, all because they didn't get their way. Dictatorship is one of the mottoes of the insane party of the GOP. The religious right, including the crazed Catholic Bishops, planet Mormon, and the un-Christian forces marches on for their savior, SATAN.

...what an angry little man. Sadly, there are a lot of them out there. I hope Democrats don't fall asleep at the wheel like they did in 2010. We must come out in force in 2014 or 2016 will be a nail-biter all over again.

Shouldn't the title of this thread be:

. . . but I am convinced that he won much more handily than final tabulations show.

After all, it wasn't Democrats who were trying to suppress votes in Ohio, Florida and other swing states with crooked Republican legislators. In spite of that effort, the President carried Ohio and Florida.

Read it and weep, Needham. You conservative right wingers have already lost this "war."

This cowardly prick Needham is using the election of Obama to line his pockets. He is asking for donations on his site and $50.00 is the default. You can contribute half of that but what a damn racket. Wing nuts are always looking at how to screw people out of their money. I see a prosecution for fraud in his future or a nice house and car provided by billionaires like they financed for KKK Rove.

He's a craven, cowardly, lying son of a b--ch. His "call to arms" is nothing more than the usual string of Republican bs.

But I really do hope he and his "let the poor fight our wars" buddies succeed in getting Heritage Foundation's candidates to run for the Senate in 2014. Fools that they are, they fired Richard Lugar and put in an asshat teabagger who proved that there is some sh-t even Indianans won't eat.

Let Needham make the selections and the Dems will have a huge victory party in 2014!
