A very nasty political environment. [View all]

It's obvious that the Republican right-wing is at war with this Administration and everything Democratic, including the very word. (Democrat)

With what happened in Wisconsin and what is happening in Florida and elsewhere, their forces are advancing as if it were an actual war. They mean to destroy Obama and the Democratic Party.

We see the purging of voters in Florida and other states not as visible, such as Texas. We see the blatant disrespect for our public workers and our unions. They are using the debt issue, which they created, to destroy the very foundations of our society, the teachers, the firemen, the police. This is a very serious matter.

We cannot depend on the media to inform the people. They are mainly into the entertainment, the horse-race aspect, "he said, she said" type of reporting. There is very little actual honest reporting of what is happening in our country at this time.

Democrats feel the anger and animosity and reflexively fight back with similar tactics that the Repubs are using. It only turns up the heat and there is little light. We must understand the nature of this opponent and not become like them.

This is a battle for the hearts and minds of the American people. It is a propaganda war as much as it is a political struggle. We must keep the facts on our side. We must yield the sword of truth. That is the best weapon we have at this time.
