TOO LITTLE; TOO LATE OR HAS THE CAVALRY FINALLY ARRIVED?

At last, some Republicans care more for their fellow citizens than following the ideology of Grover Norquist to political oblivion.  Believe it or not, some are daring to speak out logic.

Unfortunately the public is conned into an erroneous assumption which is: 'vote for the 'other' person if you don't like the firs; it will improve your situation and the economy..The unemployment numbers haven't gone down fast enough but the media doesn't like to balance their numbers with the reality that states are dropping people off government jobs in large numbers and there is not a replacement for the jobs of teachers, fire fighters, police and those supporting them.

For more pf the nonsense going around, especially a bit about the third Koch brother, listen to Rachel Maddow on MSNBC by clicking here.  

It still boggles my mind how the Supreme Court can really feel they have done their job with the result of the Citizen's United decision and the billions of dollars thrown into campaigns while so many people remain jobless, families hungry, foreclosures and people devastated by lack of medical care.  Isn't that enough to tell us the people with the power are not caring for the welfare of the people.  They care only for more power.

I would recommend reading the "Citizen United" decision (available online), for the popular rendition of what this decision says is highly distorted. ABC News legal analyst Dan Abrams (son of Floyd Abrams), has written a piece that sets the record straight on this issue:
