Republicans have painted themselves into a corner once again. The party that set out to sabotage and destroy the Post Office, is now confronted by angry 'conservative' constituents in their rural districts that object to losing their mail service, jobs, or the institution itself... Here's the latest...

The Chamber of Commerce ads are blatantly anti-worker, attacking progressives like Wisconsin Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin for her stand against Koch-funded anti-union measures, or Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), who is a leading advocate for a Constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. Then there are the ads supporting Republicans who support the Keystone XL pipeline...

In an article that shows just how astoundingly out of touch they are, PoliticMO describes the latest argument going on between Republican Missouri Senate candidates Sarah Steelman and Todd Akin over Medicare.
In a recent Tea Party meeting in Fulton Akin said, “I don’t find it in the constitution that it is the job of the government to provide healthcare”, and described the program as unconstitutional. What he really meant is that it’s not the job of the government to create and encourage programs that protect the well being of its citizens, especially if they are expensive. While Akin doesn’t think a full on dismantling of the program is possible at this point, he is against expanding it any further. This is a particularly confusing position to take when over 1 million people in Missouri currently depend on this program.

****************************************************************************************************************************
One day after President Obama ripped Wall Street executives for their "shameful" decision to hand out $18 billion in bonuses in 2008, Congress may finally have had enough.
An angry U.S. senator introduced legislation Friday to cap compensation for employees of any company that accepts federal bailout money.
Under the terms of a bill introduced by Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri, no employee would be allowed to make more than the president of the United States.

Meet the new Obama girls.
Not the same as the old Obama girl, a scantily clad YouTube singing sensation given to watching the candidate on C-Span and caressing his photographs.
The new crew is an array of prominent Democratic women who plan an all-hands-on-deck effort around the country during the next six weeks. Courtesy of the Wall Street meltdown, they have a single message.
"John McCain says the fundamentals of our American economy are strong," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday. "American women know better."
Their mantra will include efforts to promote an equal-pay law for women and expanded health insurance for children, two issues that hit close to home for many women and that McCain has voted against. Protecting Social Security is another because McCain has supported private investment accounts.
Two of Obama's leading messengers in his new focus on women voters are Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill. Both were early supporters of the Illinois senator's presidential bid.
"Women often are in the front and center in some of the challenges that families are facing," Sebelius said. "They are more likely to be head of a household in single-parent family or in a job without health insurance."
But Republicans are not ceding any ground in what's become one of the most aggressive fronts in the race for the White House — the war for women.
Their biggest weapon isn't any one issue, but one woman: Sarah Palin.
A recent Diageo/Hotline poll found that fewer than two out of 10 Democrats view Palin favorably, compared with more than eight out of 10 Republicans.
Moreover, the race probably is still Obama's to lose because the basic elements remain unchanged: The incumbent Republican president is unpopular, and a majority of the public believes the country is headed in the wrong direction.
But the Obama campaign, sobered by the polls and criticized by supporters for fighting McCain with mittens, has punched up the volume. Besides his tougher talk and more negative ads, his corps of women allies has begun to fan out across the country.Meet the new Obama girls.
