Ms. Blackburn, a Republican U.S. Representative from Tennessee, often is interviewed on the day parts cable television news and discussion shows. Every time I see her, I wonder "how did anyone so obviously dumb and uninformed get elected to Congress."

She reminds me of the worst of Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann.

So, don't these folks who elect people like Ms. Blackburn ever think about why they'd want to send such a ditz to Congress?

The NRA Should Pay a Price for Its Terrorism

Why not an ad hoc campaign to cut the NRA down to size?

The NRA claims it has four million members. There are tens of millions of Americans, maybe more than 100 million Americans, who think the NRA's political clout is the main reason why we don't have realistic gun safety laws in this country.

So, why not start a fundraising campaign to collect the revenues necessary to go on the attack on the NRA as an organization that supports violence, terror, murder, killing of children, et cetera. If 10 million Americans donated $5.00 to a legitimate ad hoc political education committee, that would translate into $50 million that could be spent on ads exposing the NRA for what it really is…a tool of the gun manufacturing and ammo lobby.

Looks like the tide has turned...

...thanks to Obama's total failure in last week's Presidential debate, and from what I have seen from the Obama campaign since then, it doesn't look as if he will recover. Obama is losing ground or just plain losing in virtually all the latest national polls, and his leads are disappearing in many of the swing states.

There's no on to blame for this but Obama. It doesn't make much sense to keep listing and relisting Romney's lies, misstatements, bad judgment calls, or general unsuitability for high office, because the voters only seem to care that he wiped the floor with Obama.

What can be done about this? I don't see Joe Biden, competent as he is, rescuing the ticket in this week's debate. What might work is an all-out offensive with whatever advertising dollars are left, with very very strong, unsophisticated ads tearing Romney apart. Instead of just replaying Romney's ""47 percent" presentation, show excerpts with really strong script underneath, saying, "If you're not rich, Romney thinks you are crap." Well, I wouldn't use the word crap, but the time for pussyfooting around with Romney is over.

And if Obama doesn't slaughter Romney next week in the second debate, it's over.

Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and his Attorney General, Kenneth T. Cuccinelli, II, cannot possibly represent the viewpoints of the majority of Virginians. McDonnell proved he's still at least a latent racist with his talk of promoting the Confederacy, and Cuccinelli is a gay basher.

Unfortunately, the state of Virginia has no procedure for the direct recall via petition of its elected officials, but petitions can be circulated, calling for a recall trial presided over by a judge.

It seems to me a recall trial might not be a bad idea. It likely would not succeed, but it would bring attention of the absolutely wrong sort to the racist governor and his gay-bashing sidekick.
