Grotesque Propaganda


Following are some excerpts from Facebook..  I have deleted the names.

(From a posted item) Two 11-year-old girls articulate their personal goal to become shahids [people who die for Allah], explaining that "all Palestinian children" see Shahada [death for Allah] - because of its promised grand Afterlife - as more worthwhile than living. ...

Not repeating the same old news


Here are the Republican Senators who will be up for election in 2010:

Alabama            Shelby, Richard
Alaska               Murkowski, Lisa
Arizona              McCain, John
Florida               Martinez, Mel*
Georgia              Isakson, Johnny
Idaho                 Crapo, Mike
Kentucky           Bunning, Jim
Louisiana           Vitter, David
Missouri             Bond, Kit
New Hampshire  Gregg, Judd*
North Carolina    Burr, Richard*
Ohio                  Voinovich, George*
Oklahoma          Coburn, Tom
Pennsylvania      Specter, Arlen*
South Carolina    DeMint, Jim
South Dakota     Thune, John
Utah                  Bennett, Robert
Iowa                 Grassley, Chuck*
Kansas              Brownback, Sam

As a good Democrat, I would like to expel some of the repulsive ones like Sam Brownback or David Vitter.  But, in the real world, we need to break the filibuster.  I have placed asterisks by the six Republican Senators who are from states won by Obama.  Martinez has already said he is resigning, so we should focus on winning the seat, but there is little we can do to presure him away from filibusters.  Based strictly on Obama's margin of victory, the three most vulnerable are Grassley, Specter, and Judd.  We need to raise money and take them on *now,* not in two years.  Every filibuster vote should receive a response.  Time for action.
