This blog started out as a companion piece to my book, Musings from the Christian Left (excerpts of which can be found in the July 2004 link) and to support a planned radio show. Now, its simply a long term writing project from a Christian Left Libertarian perspective (meaning I often argue for liberty within the (Catholic) Church, rather than liberty because the church takes care of a conservative view of morality.

What the Dems Need to Say

What the Dems Need to Say by MSW.  MGB: The Democrats can win ugly in the swing states by playing up the war on women and the fact that in many such states in the industrial Midwest, things have actually improved due to the President's policies.  The whole battle over birth control was indeed a trap and this blog has led the Church straight into it.  If the bishops were better staffed, they would not have let this fight be picked.  Of course, given the fact that the Susan B. Anthony fund lied about how the ACA is an abortion bill, perhaps some dirty tricks are deserved - since that contention is an out and out lie.  If the GOP wants to win on gyno issue, it deserves to lose by them too.  What is sad is that the bishops commitment to workers rights seems to ring hollow when it is the employer.

The fact is that Romney needs to almost sweep the swing states to win this year.  Obama needs only two or three.  The election is basically over unless Romney really out debates Obama, which is not likely.  The convention itself is mainly to rally the troops.
