Taylor Marsh – TaylorMarsh.com – News, Opinion and Weblog on Progressive Politics

My good friends from the Patriot Project have put together a new site, with
a new name, that comes complete with a radio show on Blog Talk Radio. James
Boyce and Dave Johnson also have a post up today, which is worth a read. Also
check out Smoking Politics site,
which talks about their radio show, too. I’ve been a guest on it and these guys
give good radio! Here’s what it’s all about.

There was a time when this country worked to solve its problems. There was a time in this country when political campaigns were about issues and solutions and ideas. There was a time when our legislators honestly debated, and minds could be changed, and bipartisan laws could be passed. There was a time when America was seen as an honest broker for peace, even in the Middle East. And there was even a time when there were solar panels on roof of the White House. Ronald Reagan – the “Marlboro Man” – took office as President in 1981 – 26 years ago! That means that people under 40 today don’t even remember a time when America “worked” and took care of its people and paid its bills. They don’t remember a time when the people rather than the corporations and the rich made the decisions. And it especially means that they don’t remember a time when campaigns were about anything other than cheap psychological tricks and smears. Since then liberals and progressives and Democrats of all kinds and colors have been looking back in shock and awe and wondering what happened to them, and what has been happening to the country. Why have we been getting meaner and uglier and greedier and more violent? Smoking Politics is about what has been happening to us and our country. Smoking Politics is about looking into and exposing the techniques and the tricks and the scams and the sophisticated psychological persuasion methods that are used on us. Smoking Politics is an organization and website and radio show and campaign to get ahead of this attack politics and restore America’s ability to make decisions and solve problems and take care of its people again. … Smoking Politics

Hope you will visit their site often and check out their radio show. These
guys are still on the mission that I was proud to be involved in, too, back
during the ‘06 election with the Patriot Project, which I also continue today. You might remember my posts
on swiftboating, which also appeared on Alternet,
Murtha, but also Bob Perry, the original swiftboating money man. James and Dave
continue what was started on Smoking Politics. I’d appreciate if you’d stop
by, listen to their show, and send them some support.
