Poor Mitt Romney. The guy can't catch a break. He's been running for president for years and years and finally, with unemployment very high, morale in the country very low and apparently no other Republican to challenge him for the right to take on the radical, socialist, apologist black guy that has destroyed America, poor Mitt looked poised to achieve his ultimate dream. Unfortunately for Mitt, however, things continue to go against him. We've witnessed (and enjoyed) the gaffes (they're not really gaffes so much as an elitist world view that goes against what most Americans value - corporations are people! I don't care about the poor!), and have watched with delight as someone as lowly as Gingrich gives Mittens a run for his money.

Now, as employment numbers seem to pick up (again, poor, poor Mitt) and Rick Santorum wins the last three contests (poor poor America), none other than the very conservative George Will throws doo doo on Mitt's candidacy.

I really did not want to write a diary, but I just can't resist. The reaction to Sarah Palin's use of the term "blood libel" has reminded me of recent debate about a new "sanitized" edition of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Whenever Westerners get too involved in a cause, I become nervous. And skeptical. Too often we conflate what we believe is good and what we want with what we think other countries should have. The reaction to the Iranian election is shaping up to be another exercise in well intentioned Westerners making a situation worse. I know this diary won't be received well, but I really can't stand by and watch all this without throwing in my 2 cents.

You know its coming. Actually, its already here. But you know its only going to gain traction and get worse in the coming weeks and months, until finally, like all lies, its completely impossible to make out the truth. You hear it all the time: "Obama is irresponsible" "Obama is destroying the economy" "Obama is ruining our futures". Well, its time we set these folks straight.

The New York Times has published an interesting article - http://www.nytimes.com/... - which discusses its analysis of CBO reports of the last decade. The results of their analysis are fairly obvious, but still in this day and age its too much to ask that the truth be the basis of political discourse. So, my friends, armed with the truth, let's take it to the streets and beat these fools on the right back.

Hi everyone. I am not a usual diary writer (and by the end of this diary, I am sure I will get several comments suggesting it stay that way!), but I felt that now was as good a time as any for me to say a little something.

I have seen so many utterly ridiculous diaries in the past few days. It seems that many diary writers have an inflated view of their own talents as observers of American society. Nevertheless, these diaries get rec'd and commented on, and thus create a discussion.

***I wanted to repost this diary because it seems clear that it is ever more important for Obama and the Democrats to get his message out, loud and clear.My apologies for the repost.***

Contrary to what we want to believe, we are in for a fight. The Republicans have shown that they know how to fight dirty and that they are willing to do anything and say anything to get their way. Yet, from our side, all I hear is "stop worrying, everything is under control". I am not one to panic and I am not now. But I am concerned that we are lulling ourselves into this false sense of saftey.

Why is it that the party that represents the best aspirations of a people loses to the party that plays to the inner fears and ugliness of people? Because we don't play the game right and we are always playing catch up.

Sarah Palin is a joke and her choice as running mate is a disgrace. But we can't make the mistake of standing by and watching, hoping everything will be all right. Remember G-Dub is also a joke, but elected twice.
