Rethugs push for war with Iran

then complain about rising oil prices that all the loose war talk creates.
If the conflict there escalates, oil prices and therefore gas prices will skyrocket.
No one calls the GOP on what their war drums will create. And gas prices might be the least of the mess.

If Obama should lose this election, you can bet they'll get it. They are all republicans, well except for Chavez.

CitizensUnited is the game-changer.

If Obama was smart.. he would be spending his time doing anything possible to get Citizens United repealed.

There are 8 Super Pacs supporting Republicans and only 2 super Pacs suporting Obama.

Its an "auction".. not an "election.
