Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., sent out an appeal that questions whether “right-wing reactionaries, through threats and acts of violence, intimidated people with different points of view from expressing their political positions.”

Sanders goes on to cite the death of U.S. District Judge John Roll in last weekend’s shooting spree, which left Giffords, D-Ariz., gravely wounded as examples of such violence. Sanders mentioned in the fundraising letter that his friend Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Ariz., had to shut down his congressional office last summer after someone shot a bullet through it.

All I can say is ” What A Douche”. This Loughner fellow was ticked off at Gifford since 2007, way before Palin came on the scene, let’s not shift blame and make crap up. The Targets on the map have been used over and over by both sides of the Aisle for years. But since the liberals felt it was a good reason to take a potshot at Palin they decided to make themselves look like morons.

Senator Sanders definitely takes the 1st Stupid Senator Award of 2011. Do Not Campaign on the misfortunes of others, let these people Mourn in peace. And do not try to use a tragedy like this and Beg for peoples money, and spew filth out of your mouth when in your Begging Letter you are doing the exact same thing that your supposedly so

Harry Reid has the Hots

Well the election cycle is in full effect! Time for incumbents to limit their gaffes, get more face time and appeal to their bases.
Well that is the goal for most politicians. But not ole Harry Reid. For someone who has been representing his fine state since 1983, you would think he would know how to utilize some type of damage control. It was reported today that while referring to U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand calling her the “hottest” member of the Senate. It has caused quite a controversy with the feminine, anti-sexist crowd. The gaffes just really keep coming. He, we would think would be more focused on fixing his states 14+% unemployment rate, 25% underwater/foreclosure rates instead of eyeballing one of his pretty co-workers. Well I guess it is best he said ” She was Hot” instead of calling his Pet in Deleware Hot.

As President Barack Obama is looking to thrust the United States ever more into global affairs, from Afghanistan to climate change, the American public is turning more isolationist and unilateralist than it has at any time in decades.

A survey by the Pew Research Center released last week found 49% of Americans think that the United States should “mind its own business internationally” and leave it to other countries to fend for themselves.

It was the first time in more than 40 years of polling that the ranks of Americans with isolationist sentiment outnumbered those with a more international outlook, Pew said.

The United States also is growing more unilateralist, with 44% saying that the country “should go our own way in international matters, not worrying about whether other countries agree with us or not.”

That was the highest percentage since the question was first asked in 1964.

The survey of 2,000 U.S. adults was taken from Oct. 28-Nov. 8 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

Oh, yes — China: A plurality of Americans, 44%, now say that China is the world’s top economic power, while just 27% say it’s the United States. That’s a sharp reversal from nearly two years ago, when 41% thought America was the No. 1 economic power, and 30% thought it was China.
