There’s an election right around the corner –if Obama has some real arguments, it’s good to have somebody to voice them. That’s how the system as a whole is ‘spose to work –so why should a blog be any different? Throw somebody out for disagreeing with the majority? That’s what you do if your argument can’t win on merit. And even then it doesn’t exactly accomplish much.

I think Obama is a closet Red but i also know we ought to defeat him without gratuitously assuring McCain will have the same problems Bush has had controlling the perception that he’s not governing for all the people.

I’d like to win the next four years, not just the next election.

To accomplish that, you gotta communicate –you gotta let benj and his party know you have a politics that’s based on something besides what the worst elements in his party say it’s based on.

For example, maybe in the naxt few weeks we can get Benj to tell us why Obama’s Euro-style tax plan won’t give us double our unemployment rates –as similar plans have, all over Europe, and as a similar plan did here, under Carter.
