Akin's comments on rape are indefensible. He should not be a candidate for one of the highest offices in the United State. Below I have attached a few resources for activists at Daily Kos to get involved and stop him from getting to the Senate.

The right seems obsessed with the idea that Obama did terribly in school, and couldn't handle the workload at a place like Harvard, Princeton, or Yale. (He went to Harvard Law). It is thinly-veiled racism.

Joe Biden has been an embarrassment to Obama and the Democratic Party recently. For example, in the past week, he:

1. mocked a sign-language interpreter, who was assisting deaf people digest his speech. (As somebody with a deaf cousin, I was profoundly disappointed by this).

2. hijacked the news cycle by telling a half-black audience the Republicans will "put y'all back in chains", an attack deemed a major "distraction" by Obama in his interview with Entertainment Tonight. (See the Boston Globe editorial on why his comment was so appalling).

3. referred to Virginia as North Carolina, while campaigning in Virginia (!!).

He must be replaced by Hillary. She is the best and would not be making these grave gaffes. Biden is a huge drain on Obama; he may give Romney the election.

Get him off the ticket so Obama can win!

This diary is a rebuttal to John Fund's mediocre piece today in the National Review Online on the Ryan selection, entitled, "Smart Democrats should be worried." He writes, to begin:

No doubt there are many Democrats rubbing their hands in glee in contemplation of reviving some version of the ad that featured an actor playing Paul Ryan pushing a grandmother in a wheelchair off a cliff. But the smarter ones are worried.

I am going to write a shorter diary; I am disappointed that coverage on Daily Kos of this issue has been limited to non-existent.

This past week, a powerful image has been circulating online, that shows the brutality and barbarity of China's despicable one child policy. It shows Feng Jianmei, a Chinese mother, and the bloody, dead body of her 28-week old child, who was killed following a forced abortion.

To understand the passion of my diary, see the image here: http://shanghaiist.com/...

There has been a lot of discussion surrounding Scott Walker's win in Wisconsin. Most of the political cognoscenti have argued that his convincing victory constitutes a triumph for conservatives and a monumental defeat for public sector unions. However, this interpretation of the results is fallacious. In fact, Walker's win signifies a victory for the public sector unions. This idea is counterintuitive and not reported in the media.
