http://www.citizen.org Craig Holman, Public Citizen's expert on lobbying and ethics, says that the GOP decision to block debate on the DISCLOSE Act will have serious ramifications on the November elections. Mainly, it will prevent the public from knowing who is paying for the campaign ads that will soon flood the airwaves.

1. One solution don't watch the ads and just go to the DNC site to see theirs. Just start a campaign..

to research the candidates don't watch their spam. A word of mouth campaign. Most agreed citizens united was wrong even on the right so surely we can unaminously agree not to watch their ads and research their beliefs and disbeliefs.

2. It used to be that if the GOP filibustered Democrats would bring in cots and wait out the filibuster

no matter how long it took. Not anymore.

You don't see that today. The GOP is allowed to obstruct with no embarrassment or fight. Democrats have become a party of wimps. We're not allowed to fight.

The real proof was the firing of Howard Dean and the dumping of his 50 state strategy. Now because Rahm hates us "F*CKING RETARDS" in the base the whole party is geared toward trying to win in a few selected "bantustans" while ignoring many areas we could be laying the groundwork to win. The leadership of the party is utterly defeatist and acting like deer caught in headlights.
