re: #267 palomino

The right wing effort we see here is based on a fantasy—that Obama is really something else, whether non-citizen, Muslim, pro-terrorist, commie, whatever. The fantasy concludes with Obama being exposed as something so far out of the US mainstream that he can’t be re-elected. They still can’t accept that in “their” America we’ve changed so much that a black guy with a Muslim-sounding name who lived abroad could get elected Prez.

Well said. So sad that that is reality for so many Americans. The people that have convinced them of this are the real problem. It takes real money to do this. The fact that they have been as successful as they have been is the scary bit.

Our Constitution was based on the concept of the common good. This concept has been perverted by people who have the money to make it about their personal interest. At a fundamental level, this is perverse.

But Corporations are people, my friend.
