The whole point here is to spread the truth as far and wide as we can about the cheap-labor conservatives, their toxic anti-American agenda and their whole-hearted enabling of state capitalism. I've bookmarked this site for future reference. Thank YOU... MK, I can be nothing other than DELIGHTED.

I just linked your id to the CG site. I usually don't snag a whole article, but there was nothing to add and no way to abbreviate. You really tied together the idea of the corrosive effect of conservatism on America. Well done! I did notice BartCop linked the story, and it was my number one post Wednesday...a pleasant surprise. The more people that can make your observations their own, the better because your perception is dead on and so important. Thank you. MK Hi, Angel of Mercy. I just linked your id to the CG site.

Millions of customers across the country have used payday advance responsibly and appreciate having somewhere to turn when they need quick access to credit.

This is a really good post. And you right about it making a great spot. Here's one to go along with it. This one's about where we are in the here and now: http://www.tomdispatch.com/post/174923/turse_a_pentagon_s_who_s_who_of_your_life It's a sort of "day in the life" piece that shows just how many of the companies that sell us stuff are also military contractors. Just a sample: "So wake up with Rick and sample a single spring morning as the alarm on his Sony (Department of Defense contractor) clock interrupts his final dream of the night. Donna is already up and dressed in fitness apparel by Danskin (a Pentagon supplier that received more than $780,000 in DoD dollars in 2004 and another $456,000 in 2005) and Hanes Her Way (made by defense contractor and cake seller Sara Lee Corporation, which took in more than $68 million from the DoD in 2006). Committed to a healthy lifestyle, she's wearing sneakers from (DoD contractor) New Balance and briskly jogging on a treadmill made by (DoD contractor) True Fitness Technology." It goes on, and on, and on like that. It's the first think I thought of when I read this. Yeah, all true. This is a really good post. And you right about it making a great spot.

And the Kos article really congealed what generations of my family have taught me as far back as my great-grandmother who practically worshiped FDR. I can see a 30 second spot easily covering this.

I've lived through most of it. Even if I hadn't been paying attention to the facts I could tell you that life for regular people in this country has always been better under Democrats. Now, if only Democrats could get that message through to all the regular people. It’s all true. I’ve lived through most of it.
