Mini Fundraiser for Mitch Crane – Part 2
The goal is now $500.00. I'm upping my match to an undisclosed sum, since $50.00 seemed a little chintzy, and DL contributors have already kicked in way more than that.

Does the United States Need the Ability to Fight 2 Ground Wars Simultaneously?
Republicans say, Yes. President Obama says, No.
Again I like the optics on this going into election season. The GOP's candidate gets to make the case that blowing millions of dollars and throwing US soldiers into the meat grinders of foreign occupations makes us stronger. While President Obama gets to tell the truth.

Gay Republican Groups Accept Second Class Citizenship & Defend Newt
Two prominent gay Republican groups have defended Newt Gingrich's decision to turn away voters who support same-sex marriage.
After the video of the interaction surfaced, the Log Cabin Republicans issued a statement defending the candidate: Based on his stated opposition to same-sex marriage, Newt ultimately concedes that he is not likely to win this particular voter’s support.

If they want to hate on Mexicans more than they want to see loved ones in he hospital, then Newt is your man.
