The reason has nothing to do with his own flip-flop-flip-flopping position on abortion rights. I believe he has, for decades, said whatever he felt he must to garner the support of the greatest possible number of voters. If he truly believed abandoning Mourdock two weeks before the election would bring a meaningful number of voters into his camp, he wouldn’t hesitate.

It is because he understands a reality about the forthcoming election, which I believe we should realize and take to heart ourselves: The election’s outcome will not be determined by undecideds (who no longer exist in any significant proportion, most having undoubtedly made up their minds weeks ago). It will be a function of the success of the two parties in compelling their supporters to go to the polls November 6th.

Many bloggers and commenters are describing Joe Biden's debate style as rude, arrogant, and disrespectful. And it was, in many ways. This is how one deals with a little snit whose lies go unchallenged by polite media. But I was hoping for a bit more rudeness on Joe's part. I wanted him to call Ryan a traitor.

It should seem then that it must be because of the enormous wealth, which places them above attention to the increase of their revenues, that I am conscious that an equal division of property is impracticable, but [that] the consequences of this enormous inequality producing so much misery to the bulk of mankind, legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property. Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise. -Thomas Jefferson, 1785

This from a letter to James Madison, written Sept. 28, 1785, hails "devices for subdividing property," and encourages taxing the rich. Apparently, Thomas Jefferson would be utterly scorned by Romney and the Tea Partiers.

And these radicals call themselves conservatives?

Mitt's MEDICAL RECORDS: shouldn't someone be demanding them?

Shouldn’t the media be demanding Romney’s medical records, in addition to his tax returns?

There continues to be a great deal of attention being given Mitt Romney’s tax returns - specifically, his refusal to provide an adequate number of them. As the September 28th deadline for their “release” by anonymous approaches, they are certain to return to the media forefront quite soon. And I am confident that Romney’s resistance to their release has everything to do with how damaging their contents would be for his candidacy. But, there is another variety of documents that he has apparently never made available to the public: medical records.

This morning, I found in my email a link to this which actually postulates that OBAMA doesn't care about the poor. And I couldn’t help myself! Every comment was anti-Obama, of course, so I just HAD to stir it up.

On October 3rd in Denver, PBS’ Jim Lehrer will moderate the first of three presidential debates for the 2012 election. There's a question I’d love for him to ask Mitt Romney. . .

Last night, I took my wife to see 2016, Obama’s America, the movie based upon the book by (and “starring”) Dinesh D'Souza. There have been some very thorough and accurate criticisms here of D’Souza’s slanted biography of Obama, allegations and predictions, to which I can add little. Ian Reifowitz’s, angry marmot’s, and vyan’s DKos diaries challenge D’Souza and his work skillfully. Still, I wanted to see it with my own eyes, and to check out the other audience members. Here’s my report.

It is an after-dinner discussion of politics, ethics, and humanity on a warm summer evening in St. Simons, Georgia. About sixteen very conscientious and progressive-minded friends are sitting at a long candlelit table on a screened porch, surrounded by live oaks and Spanish moss. The topic has drifted to efforts of right-wing extremists to prohibit abortion in any circumstance. A definitive moral argument for their position eludes us, and their seemingly incongruous position on capital punishment is mentioned. Suddenly a very bright, generally soft-spoken veterinarian asks:

Doesn't every fetus deserve the right to die in an electric chair?

My background in neuropsychology affords me a somewhat unique perspective on Mitt Romney. I’m finding and accumulating evidence that he may show subtle but significant signs of mental impairments from a 1968 brain injury.

More to follow. . .

I was amused, and somewhat perplexed, by Romney’s recent bizzaro statement:

I’d like to have a provision in the Constitution . . . that the president has to spend at least three years working in business before he could become president of the United States.

While I’m sure my immediate reaction closely resembled that of a clear majority of intelligent, sensible people, as I spoke of it to some of my friends, I realized: maybe Mitt’s onto something here.
