"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government." (Thomas Jefferson)
With only two weeks left until Election Day, it is extremely important that
voters be made aware of what a Romney/Ryan Administration would mean for higher
education. That is why we put together a new video,
detailing
Romney’s “sketchy” attitudes on the topic.
For
those voters who care about making higher education more accessible and
affordable, Governor Romney's rhetoric on the campaign trail with respect to
higher education has been shockingly tone-deaf and utterly detached from
reality.
It
should come as no surprise that StudentDebtCrisis.org
believes that a Romney/Ryan Administration would be an unmitigated disaster in
terms of making college more affordable, easing the burden of exorbitant levels
of student loan debt, and going after for-profit schools for their fraudulent
practices.
Because
this is an issue that matters a great deal to us, we just released a brand new
video highlighting Gov. Romney's ill-informed and wrong-headed positions
regarding higher education.
Republicans keep asking why students are deserting the Republican Party -- all they need to do is look in the mirror as they have gone hard left. Most students could care less about social issues but they do care about student loans. In today's Romney world all you have to do is ask your parents to put you through college and it is going to magically happen which is not the case in most families.
The Middle Class is making less while the rich get richer but now the wealthy Mitt Romney wants us to pay for college for our children and bankrupt the family because if you cannot pay for it, you shouldn't go to a non-profit college. There is one caveat to that scenario as it is okay to take out student loans to go to for profit universities who are owned by Romney's big donors.
It is mind boggling that Republicans are falling for Romney -- have they collectively quit using their brains to figure things out? It is as plain as day but they act like that everything is okay and Romney is this great candidate some even comparing him to Reagan. When some Republicans swallowed the Romney koolaid, they threw common sense out the window.
Once again Romney has his facts wrong on the cost of for profit versus non-profit universities with non-profits being much cheaper. It might be easier to say when he is right which is not very often it seems. Easier to lie then tell the truth for Mitt Romney.
Arrogance of NRA is simply stunning - for an organization who used to be about gun safety now the bottom line for gun/ammo manufacturers trumps all as the NRA lobbies for them.
According to Think Progress, “NRA: Practice Range” is billed as a “network of news, laws, facts, knowledge, safety tips, educational materials and online resource” for the organization.The National Rifle Association released a new app on Sunday that includes a gun range equipped with coffin-shaped targets, and the option for players to simulate using a military-grade sniper rifle.
The app includes what it calls “9 true to life firearms,” and allows players to download an MK-11 sniper rifle setting for 99 cents. The rifle can shoot 750 rounds per minute.
Dems/GOP Fighting -- Will they Finally Work Together for the Country? Will replace this image when they do. (11/07/2012)

"We will be told that the causes of such violence are complex, and that is true. No single law, no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society, but that can’t be an excuse for inaction. Surely we can do better than this." President Barack Obama, Newtown, CT, 12/16/2012

"I don't think that the way to correct a spin from the left is to try to impart a spin from the right.... [A]n information flow distorted from the right would be just as much a disservice as distortion from the left. What we really should be after... is accurate information. And I don't see what any conservative or anybody else for that matter has to fear from accurate information." M. Stanton Evans

“For heaven’s sake, you have Grover Norquist wandering the earth in his white robes saying that if you raise taxes one penny, he’ll defeat you,” he told CNN back in May. “He can’t murder you. He can’t burn your house. The only thing he can do to you, as an elected official, is defeat you for reelection. And if that means more to you than your country when we need patriots to come out in a situation when we’re in extremity, you shouldn’t even be in Congress.”

John Stuart Mill was a 19th century political philosopher:
"I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it." John Stuart Mill.
