Obama is clearly winning in the current version of the Duopoly battles. That includes, but isn’t limited to, the Super Sequestration Deficit Cliff Grand Bargain production, brought to us, unfortunately, by DC Electeds on behalf of those for whom they actually work.

Top Story: Obama’s Winnings and the Unreasonable Liberal
“If you want to pull the party, the major party that is closest to the way you’re thinking to what you’re thinking, you must, you must show them that you’re capable of not voting for them. If you don’t show them you’re capable of not voting for them they don’t have to listen to you, [...]
Progressives as the ‘Old Left’?
Joyce L. Arnold, Liberally Independent, Queer Talk, equality activist, writer. From Adbusters: Battle for the Soul of Occupy … First they silenced our uprising with a media blackout… then they smashed our encampments with midnight paramilitary raids… and now they’re threatening to neutralize our insurgency with an insidious campaign of donor money and co-optation. … [...]
And Republicans Wonder Why Turnout is Down
This cannot end well for him, particularly doing this claiming to be a Christian. And it might not end well for the rest of us either. Barack Obama has gone to war with Christians’ consciences and he is perverting God’s word in the process to get his way on public policy. – The Perversion of [...]

Liberally Independent: “Personhood” at inception. Baby, you have a come a long way.
Joyce L. Arnold: Liberal, lesbian, Independent, equality activist, writer. Here it is, 2012 campaign time, and “women’s rights” are still an issue for fairly large numbers. We’re way past the “You’ve come a long way, baby” because “you’ve got your own cigarette” blatant appropriation of “women’s liberation,” but maybe it’s because actual progress has been [...]
They’re Playing the Race Card Again
It was bound to happen. It’s just sad coming from Melissa Harris-Perry. In a piece she did for The Nation recently, the purpose of which was to throw a lighted match into the Democratic base camp, she goes straight to the race card and doesn’t prove her case. Black President, Double Standard: Why White Liberals [...]
‘Throw the Bums Out’ Empowers Grassrootsie Types
(The Liberally Independent ‘Too Few Choices Series’)
Joyce L. Arnold: Liberal, lesbian, Independent, equality activist, writer. “Everybody knows” fictions and fantasies What “everybody knows” about our political system could fill libraries.

Money Quote that Would Make Reagan Laugh
“Cantor and Kyl just threw Boehner and McConnell under the bus. This move is an admission that there will be a need for revenues and Cantor and Kyl don’t want to be the ones to make that deal.” – unnamed Democratic aide This is wishful spinning, actually. It’s not about Speaker Boehner it’s about Pres. [...]
Queer Talk: “LGBT rights are workers’ rights”
That we need a “Rally to Save the American Dream,” occurring in every state today, tells us something significant about how the “dreams” of millions are in jeopardy, already gone, or, in truth, were never a possibility.
