Obama 2012 ... Warts and All ...

or kiss what little is left of The Left Influence goodbye for a long time. A Vote for Romney (or a non-vote for Obama) is a Vote for Corporatocracy. Plain and simple. For those of us who have felt disappointed, consider "Anybody but Mitt" voting. But vote, we must.

Supreme Court: U.S. Chamber Of Commerce Undefeated This Term


WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is undefeated at the Supreme Court this term, continuing to improve its success in securing business-friendly judgments since Chief Justice John Roberts took the bench in 2005.

The Constitutional Accountability Center, a left-leaning think tank and law firm, reported its findings on Thursday, noting that this term, which began in October and will likely conclude by the end of June, could be the chamber's "first 'perfect' term before the Supreme Court since at least 1994."

I thought in 2008, whatever Right Influence was gone for a long time. Two years later, they won the House.
I don't think any one party will rule the roost for too long nowadays, not in this ME era, when most folks want an immediate fix.

Many Americans are completely uninformed and being fed RW propaganda 7x24. Its no wonder its so difficult for us to make liberal/progressive changes in this country.

and thanks to superior health care, get to exist mostly in secret and rule until senility sets in. There is no convenient method of removal such as voting them out. Impeachment does not count. Consider being de facto ruled by Karl Rove (Romney's Kissinger) and a few more "Citizen's United" rulings.
