I am so angry at the way the Rethugs get a pass ~ we need to follow the lead of the OCCUPY Warriors.

Keep the Bain Ads coming but we Democrats can't keep sitting and thinking that Obama will work his magic again and America will be on the right track..

My Hero President can't do this alone ~ we have to picket, OCCUPY their events, sit on the steps of the Supreme Court and yes, even go to jail for what we believe in.

We need to demonstrate that we are "Mad As Hell and We Won't Sit and Take It Anymore!"

If there's one thing the American people hate, it's attacks on wealthy job creators. Several Very Serious People have said so, so it must be true.

Superfluous tag for the humor-impaired.

But of course, they're just being eminently sensible!

From which they fired him and his coworkers always brings a tear to my eye.

It's great. It really says it all in a way that the average person can understand. However, I noticed that whenever the "liberal" shows air it as a conversation starter, the beltway guests who comment afterwards just don't seem to get it. Keep showing it to real voters. THEY get it no matter what the airhead pundits think.

His campaign attacks do not seem to be working either.

He is winning women, but not by the overwhelming margins he needs to get elected.

He is now losing Catholic voters, a key constituency he won in 2008.

He is even losing Democrats on his Bain Capital attacks. His campaign has spent more time explaining itself to Democrats this week on those attacks than it has been able to level the attacks. It doesn’t help when the Obama campaign is raking in money from Bain Capital and private equity firms while trying to demagogue them.

In a nutshell, the Obama campaign must convince Americans that Mitt Romney would be a worse option on the economy than Americans already believe Barack Obama is. Running a campaign on the message of “you think I’m bad, just look at him” is not really a winning message.

Of course, the point is that the Bain ads DO work and that's why Republicans were trying to get the Obama team to stop running them by pretending they were NOT working.
