Merge Left

Thus, in forming an alliance with a political power, religion augments its authority of a few, and forfeits the hope of reigning over all.

Republicans Are Pursuing a Wider Field for 2012 Race [New]

Written by

From the NY Times:

Republican leaders, activists and donors, anxious that the party’s initial presidential field could squander a chance to capture grass-roots energy and build a strong case against President Obama at the outset of the 2012 race, are stepping up appeals for additional candidates to jump in, starting with Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana. (my emphasis)

Okay, this mostly is for laughs. Other than skin color and being in the Democratic Party, what don’t Republicans like about Obama and his policies? In most ways, Obama has been the absolute perfect Republican: attentive to wealthy interests, big business, insurance companies, and spiking Democratic ideas like the public option, Employee Free Choice Act, and other policies that benefit the 99% who are not wealthy.

BlahEhMmmmInterestingFantabulous!
