Advocating Progress
If you believe that a single GOP player in this upcoming clusterfuck of investigations is going to pause and think, “Huh. You’re right. I didn’t care when George W. Bush did the same or worse. I should end this hypocrisy,” you are as delusional as the most extreme Benghazi conspiracy theorists, the ones who think that the IRS thing is Obama’s way to distract from the far, far worse Benghazi “scandal.” (No, really, Rush Limbaugh believes this.)

Your argument is noted, good liberals who still smart from the lack of prosecution of anyone for the crimes and excesses of the Bush administration. Indeed, it was laughable when today John Boehner asked regarding the IRS asking conservative groups extra questions, “Who’s going to jail over this scandal?” Your first instinct might be to say, “Oh, shut the fuck up, Annoying Orange.”

There is only one thing that’ll end this madness: End the madness of GOP control in the House and prevent them from gaining control of the Senate.

Anyway, now that I’m 30, and thus of a constitutional age for the U.S. Senate …

I figure that when November rolls around I might as well write myself in when I vote for the Senator from Tennessee, since:

a) I’d STILL sooner take a cheese grater to my testicles than vote for Bob Corker.

b) The official Democratic Senate candidate, Mark Clayton, is a certifiable whack-a-doodle, as much as any Republican short of Todd Akin.

c) Said candidate has been disavowed by the Tennessee Democratic Party.

d) Said Tennessee Democratic Party STILL hasn’t, for its “write-in” admonition, vetted or circled the wagons around any other specific candidate within the party, all of whom are basically unknowns even at this stage in the game.

e) Not like I could do any worse of a job than any current member of Congress.

Since the Tennessee Democratic Party didn’t care enough to even bother to pay attention to the race, then I will be voting for the Green Party candidate for U.S. Senate.

His name is Martin Pleasant.

That’s his web site so you can get some info on him. I’m voting straight-Democratic Party all the way, except for U.S. Senate. Martin Pleasant has my vote for Senate.

A MESSAGE FROM PAUL RYAN’S PROGRESSIVE OPPONENT
~~~
Hi, I’m Rob Zerban. Along with President Obama and Vice President Biden, I have the unique privilege of being the other candidate who gets to defeat Paul Ryan this year.
That’s because despite running for Vice President, Paul Ryan is still running for Congress in Wisconsin. And I’m his progressive opponent.
I’ve been preparing for over a year now. I have a great team and raised over a million dollars in grassroots donations — more than all of Ryan’s opponents in the last 10 years combined. But to finish the job, I need your help.
…..
Paul Ryan supports ending Medicare. I support Medicare for All.
Paul Ryan supports lowering taxes on the rich. I want the rich to finally pay their fair share.
Paul Ryan thinks the way to create jobs is tax giveaways for Big Oil, Wall Street, and other big corporations. I’m a small businessman who fights for the little guy.
Paul Ryan is pro-life. I am pro-choice. Tell me when to stop…
The point is — Wisconsin voters finally have a competitive Democrat running against Paul Ryan. A bold progressive. And with Ryan now ignoring local voters, 2012 is the perfect moment to defeat him for good.
Please donate $3 to fuel my campaign and help me finish the job of defeating the right wing’s hero. Click here.
It’s been exciting to work with Progressive Change Campaign Committee members over the past year — standing up for the 99% and fighting back for Medicare. In Congress, I look forward to being your partner as we fight for progressive change. 
Thanks for your support.

In a blatant attempt to mislead Americans, Mitt Romney is falsely accusing the Obama campaign of trying to restrict military voting in Ohio. In fact, the opposite is true: The Obama campaign filed a lawsuit to make sure every Ohioan has early voting rights, including military members and their families. […]
