		<description><![CDATA[In the frenzy of the Republican race for the presidential nomination, candidates have appealed to conservative populism through racially coded appeals evoking the dependency of the black “underclass” on government handouts.  Late last year, former Speak of the House Newt Gingrich caused a commotion when he referred to child labor laws as “truly stupid.”  He [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Hollywood gave Oscars for shamelessness, the Republican responses to President Obama’s State of the Union speech last night, Jan 24, would have swept the field. Take Indiana’s Gov. Mitch Daniels, who gave the official GOP response: No feature of the Obama presidency has been sadder than its constant efforts to divide us, to curry [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The national Republican party has selected Indiana Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels to respond to President Obama’s State of the Union address next week–sending a clear signal the party is making attacks on working people a top priority in the 2012 elections. Daniels is a key backer of right to work for less (RTW) legislation which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In recent weeks, President Obama finally internalized and implemented the advice of American parents on dealing with bullies. He stood his ground. He called the GOP bluff on the payroll tax. And they backed down. He recess appointed four officials, defying GOP attempts to thwart service to American workers and borrowers. Apparently, it’s a new day in Washington, one in which Democrats, who control the presidency and the majority in the U.S. Senate, are fed up and not going to take GOP bullying and blackmail anymore.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The happy ending to the classic Christmas film “It’s a Wonderful Life” is the people of Bedford Falls banding together to rescue George Bailey and the Bailey Brothers Building &#038; Loan that had given so many of them a leg up over the years. Republicans seek a different conclusion.  They find middle class cooperation and community intolerable. They want the film’s greedy banker, Henry Potter, with his “every man for himself” philosophy to triumph. In the spirit of their self-centered mentor Ayn Rand, Republicans are trying to disfigure America until she resembles Pottersville. ]]></description>
