When I first became aware of politics and government, Ronald Reagan was president. And I knew from my very first understanding of the philosophies of governing that Republican Party orthodoxy, if unchecked, would without doubt bring us to the catastrophes we now face as a country.
We live today in that Republican utopia. This is what Republicans have wanted to do to America for decades, they promised it, they never claimed otherwise, it is their full-flowered dream, and our Dickensian nightmare. Every policy Republicans have ever advocated for over 30 years has been granted them. This America is their heaven on earth.
And for over a year, I have been video taping them at their logical devolutionary conclusion, using Youtube to permanently document the regressed, brainless, buffoonery their Utopia has created.

In Ohio in 2010, Democrats face a primary to replace outgoing Republican George Voinovich, vying to face Bush trade representative Rob Portman. This seat in Ohio could be the 60th Democrat that makes Joe Lieberman irrelevant. We simply MUST win this Senate seat. Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner faces Ohio Lt. Governor Lee Fisher in that primary.
Lee Fisher CANNOT WIN in the fall. That is plain as the teabaggers in those videos. And spare me the fundraising argument - Lee spent over $10million LOSING TO BOB TAFT in 1998. Even the Ohio GOP knows it - they ignore Fisher, and go after Brunner, hoping TO GOD IN HEAVEN she will lose the primary, giving them Lee Fisher on a silver platter. Republicans DESPISE BRUNNER for doing her job to keep Ohioans votes safe in 2008. Jennifer will drive Republicans off their rickety rockers.
When Jennifer told me in February that she supported an increase in troops in Afghanistan, I liked hearing that, as anyone who's read my diaries in recent days will know. When this month, the day BEFORE Barack's Afghanistan speech, she changed her position, and Lee Fisher pathetically followed suit, I suspected she had done so to pander to our base to win this primary. That's what Lee Fisher does all the time. It's why he will lose.
So I called her on it. My co-blogger at Plunderbund called her on it. My other co-blogger called her on it.
Then Jennifer called us. It's a rare politician who sees a disagreement with her supporters and runs to it. Lee Fisher doesn't have this instinct in his DNA, never will.
Today, we sat down and talked about it. Here's the video - we cover the troop increase, Al Qaeda, Pakistan, and how she'd vote in the Senate.
I respect Jennifer's position on the war. I do not support it. I sincerely believe that once in the Senate, she will vote to fund Barack Obama's foreign policy and military decisions in full, despite her deeply held opposition to his decision.
Also, I found the way her campaign handled the issue to be rather incompetent. I worry that her campaign will suffer for this episode. I worry that her campaign is so low on funds that this episode will be repeated on other issues for lack of a serious campaign operation. They are running on fumes.
So she needs help. I still support Jennifer, with all I've got. And you should, too.
Because the people in those videos must NEVER be in control of our country again. They have brought our country to the edge of total meltdown. And this Senate seat in Ohio is the front line to keep them from that control.
Lee Fisher CANNOT WIN THE SEAT.
Jennifer Brunner can.
Please donate to Jennifer's campaign, so we can put another Democrat into the US Senate. She's an anti-war Democrat who I support with all my heart, and I will NEVER let one disagreement on one issue, however important, stand in the way of putting Democrats into office, and keeping Republicans OUT.
I hope you'll join me.
