So some red states are deciding that people aren’t lazy for collecting unemployment benefits after all. Easy solution for the Democrats here. Offer up legislation that all people who lose their jobs or quit for not getting vaccinated will receive full unemployment benefits. But also include in the bill that any work force that goes on strike or is locked out will receive full unemployment compensation as well. Make the republicks vote against it. This will show that Democrats are willing to compensate those that are out of work even when they don’t agree with the reason. Republicks will be put in a bind voting against such a bill. They will be going directly against their state republick party members. How can republicks in the house and senate vote against a bill that their state government is trying to pass?

Every time we talk about the republicks voter suppression laws and the big lie, that democrats stole the election, it must be prefaced with the fact that Democrats have won the majority of the vote in every election except one since 1992. We are the majority and have been for some time. When I state this fact, the loonies that believe in the big lie, have no answer for it. The Democrats are a dynasty and the republicks are losers that are standing in the way of progress. The republicks only policy goal is to lower taxes for the wealthy. So remember this fact whenever talking about the big lie and voter suppression. Democrats have won the majority of vote in every national election except one(2004) since 1992. This puts republicks on the defensive in having to explain why they continually lose election after election. Was every election since 1992 stolen? It kills their argument. Go forth and spread the word.

Wednesday @ 6AM we go on strike against VeriGreedy

Verizon has decided to pay billions to its shareholders and executives while raking in $1.5 billion a month in profit. They want to take jobs, wages, and benefits away from middle class families and hurt communities. We said No! Not good enough and on Wednesday at 6AM we are striking. Any help is appreciated. Spread the word is most appreciated! Thank you!

How can we be a center-right nation if the Conservative party in our country couldn't even nominate a conservative? They nominated the moderate that all conservatives hate Republican John McCain.

That's what Glenn Beck says. Sounds better then $25 for the whole summer. $28 might make a difference. So let's do the math.

I spend about $60/wk on gas a short 20 minute commute up 95 from Philly to Levittown. But for Glenn's sake we'll round that up $100. Gas is $3.56/gal with a bullet heading way up the charts but I'll round that down to 3.50. Because I like round even numbers.

Follow me below for this math lesson...

I go to work and when I get home this is the shit I have to read about. It's sickening. She has no chance of overtaking the pledged delegate lead that Obama holds. So why is she doing it? I don't know.

Let's ask her to stop the attacks.

Is there any chance of a response? Maybe if we get enough people to send along the following comment:

Hillary stop the attacks on a fellow Democrat Barack Obama.

The Right Wing is becoming unhinged over SCHIP expansion.

Mark Hemingway says that they "went on to have a baby anyway." He argues in a later post that "a married couple that has been talking about having kids for years, but has failed to sacrifice financially or make basic economic preparations to pay for their first kid, is acting irresponsibly." Meaning working class married couples shouldn't have kids.

He goes on to say, "How many people are in less than optimal jobs because of good benefits for their dependents?" I thought nobody was in less than optimal jobs in the Bush economy with all those tax cuts for the working class. How does the middle class move up in America if they are chasing less than optimal jobs with healthcare? I guess married couples should find "less than optimal jobs" with health insurance before having kids. And unless these jobs are found married couples should not have kids.

On Meet The Press in the deabte between Ben Cardin and Michael Steele, Michael Steele just said that embryos in fertilty clinics should be adopted instead of destroyed. That's right. Blastula in petri dishes that will never develop into human beings should be adotped.

When asked if funding for fertility clinics should stop and these fertility clinics shut down, he said he didn't know enough about this issue and again reiterated his point about adoption of embryos.

Ben Cardin didn't laugh him off the stage or even attack him for this utter nonsense because honestly he is not very good debater. But this Steele statement should easily be used against him and the anti-stem cell research anti-science crowd. Read More

Well Oprah caved under the pressure of Bill O'Reilly and will have him on her show.

I think there are two things that Oprah should do on her show on friday with Bill O'Reilly 1) invite Al Franken on as well and 2) since her show is based on the empowerment of women she should ask him about his sexual harassment of Andrea Mackris.

Join the disussion on Oprah's message board or email the shows producers to offer my suggestions.

Michael Smerconish, a local rightwing radio show host in Philadelphia on the big talker 1210, had Kevin Kelly on at the end of his show around 9:00AM. Not to talk about his swiftboating of Patrick Murphy but rather to defend himself against all the evil liberals who are "attacking" him by calling him a swiftboater.

Kevin Kelly will be on the Michael Smerconish show tomorrow morning at 6AM. Read More

on tax cuts for the super wealthy. I've read other diaries on this subject and I know the Warner people are reading and defending Mark Warner.

For those that don't know what Warner said in Iowa here's the headline at Polticial Wire:
