[Peace-discuss] Fw: BREAKING: Bad news from Ohio... and downstate IL

Mon Oct 8 13:34:02 UTC 2012

I saw nothing about Gill in the MoveON solicitation.

But Sherrod Brown?  Seriously, this guy voted for the NDAA and the 
Cybersecurity Act.

There's no way I want to see him back in the Senate.

Brown also wants to get the US into a currency war with China.
I dont think he understands the situation.  It used to be that
one could get 10 RMB easily for one USD.  Now it's about 6 or 6.3 and
people are not all that interested in holding USD.

His opponent Josh Mandel is a Neo-CON and may well be a liar.
Karl Rove is evil incarnate.

But if the problem in that election is outside money,
and if outside money is evil,
why then is MoveOn wanting to do the
same thing, attracting more outside money
into the election?
