Race shouldn't even be close

I don't trust the corporate media since Bush and the Iraq debacle, but the editorial is good and well placed.

I mean Romney??????????? Even Republicans hate the guy but who else did they have that was any better. I figure the GOP knew Obama would win against McCain/Palin...and I figure they assumed Obama would win a second term but if dems don't figure a way around the filibuster and get the House back they will lose in 2016...and you know why...we all do.
Repubs don't give a damn about the citizens of this country and never have. They only care about power and enriching themselves so to them it's all about winning...by any means possible and everyday that is more important than what is good for the nation. Such a shame.

Sorry, not "job creator" but job profiteer

Unless your husband is doling out charity he profits from any one who works for him or he would have no need to hire them. Jobs are only "created" by demand for goods or services almost always provided to make profits (except for charity). I have no doubt your husband is a good man etc but please...don't get caught up in right wing Luntz labeling of economic terms. The man who goes out and spends $10 bucks buying your products or services is the real "job creator"...those that provide the jobs are "job profiteers".

Democratic Socialism is Best

Since this is the only form of government which both ensures our Freedom and our Survival against those who would attempt to control life's necessities for profit and power...like water, air, energy, food, shelter and the control of pollution.

We are still able to vote and free to worship or not and start businesses etc but we join together in making sure everyone can share in making necessities available at cost for all. Just like libraries, police departments, fire departments, FDA, EPA. Public education etc...all socialist programs to ensure safe food and water. It works.

We should also have a 100% billionaire tax to curtail rampant greed. Just when is $999,000,000 not enough?

You are consciousness. Can never lose it...

Jesus said "The kingdom of God will not appear with signs saying Lo it is there or here. For the kingdom of God is in the midst of you".

For those who expect the 'after life' to be a place I disagree. You are consciousness and using this body or brain to express consciousness. The body and brain may give out but consciousness never dies. It returns to the source from which it came..the formless being...the Presence of Being...not in some "form" place like a heaven. It is all in your consciousness which is not separate from the Source which both contains and sustains it.

TYT kept referring to it as a place...an object...a thing but words cannot express Isness. We can only get a sense of it at this level of Being.
You don't have a life...you are life. Having a life is context but saying you are life is Being and cannot be defined. TYT should get outside the box on this one.
