At every stage, and under all circumstances, the essence of the struggle is to equalize opportunity, destroy privilege, and give to the life and citizenship of every individual the highest possible value. - Page 51
it: The lack of even basic policy knowledge, and the only casual interest in knowing more, was somewhat breathtaking: discussions by fairly senior people who meant Medicaid but were talking Medicare; near instant shifts from discussing any actual policy pros and cons to discussing political communications, media strategy, etc. - Page 8
The inadequacy of our system of research and education poses a greater threat to US national security over the next quarter century than any potential conventional war. - Page 78
Faith in America, faith in our tradition of personal responsibility, faith in our institutions, faith in ourselves demands that we recognize the new terms of the old social contract. - Page xviii
Failure is not an American habit, and in the strength of great hope we must all shoulder our common load. - Page xviii
We work in a spirit of broad and far-reaching nationalism when we work for what concerns - Page 51
people as a whole. We are all Americans. Our common interests are as broad as the continent. - Page 51
Journalist Ron Suskind first sounded this warning in January 2003, in an extraordinary Esquire interview with John Dilulio, the brilliant academic who had resigned from Bush's faith-based initiative the previous year. Dilulio told Suskind, "There is no precedent in any modern White House for what is going on in this one: a complete lack of a policy apparatus. What you've got is everything— and I mean everything—being run by the political arm. - Page 7

Subject: [MITT-2012!] ACTION ALERT: BOYCOTT AFA! Send a message to the blatantly pro-Huckabee/anti-Mitt organization!
To: secretop-2012 secretop-2012@googlegroups.com
Dear All,
I got real mad when I saw the AFA (American Family Association’s) 2008 Presidential voter guide ( http://www.afa.net/pdfs/08vg.pdf )
This is a powerful organization who boasts nearly 3.5 million members that subscribe to their e-mail listserve. They’ve been listed as the Fifth most powerful organization of the “religious right.” http://www.counterpunch.org/boston07122006.html
No where on their website (or in their email sent out to members with the voter guide) could I find any disclaimer that the AFA president, Don Wildmon, has endorsed Mike Huckabee. http://www.mikehuckabee.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Newsroom.PressRelease&ID=351
The flier is incredibly misleading:
1) It has cherry picked issues that favor Huckabee over Romney (who are both strong social conservatives). They leave out every issue where Romney is a solid social conservative as well as those issues where Huckabee is strikingly un-conservative. It actually makes McCain and Ron Paul look more conservative than Romney, who gets a similar scorring to Rudy Giuliani. No objective observer would agree with this kind of “conservative ranking” among those five candidates. Something fishy is going on.
2) It’s factually incorrect. Romney has said he’d sign a Human Life Amendment as President if it made it to his desk, he is definitely not against it. Romney also continually railed on education that promoted homosexuality and homosexual marriage contrary to what the flier says. Additionally, he has said that he would not seek or support any new legislation regarding gun rights/restrictions.
That’s a horribly slanted flier and the AFA should be ashamed. I’ve unsubscribed from AFA and I recommend all Romney supporters do the same after this horrible action.
Are you trying to win the most incoherent post of the week contest or something? This posting makes no sense, doesn’t have an introduction and has only self-referential comments. Ugh.
I, for one, appreciate 100 links to and about any Rahm Emanuel book. I don't know how to Google.
I read three pages of this drecky book ‘the plan’.
It is dressed up as a plea for sanity, but is just a litany of complaints about how awful Rove and Co were/are. same old partisan potshots.
What this is about, really, are the liberal democrat expropriating another hat, the ‘wonk’ hat, to win the election and dictate policy on their terms. liberals are always trying to write history and it is up to conservative s to not let them.
What we need in response is ‘conservative agenda for the 21st century’. Newt had a stab at it with ‘winning the future’.
20% aren’t getting the full happiness out of the system that they could. Maybe they should be sent a sympathy card. Romney says we can still save what’s left of America such as it is.
The bottom line is we know what is always on the mind of that organization of Hillery and the dysturction that awaits America and it’s citizens (us)!
The American poor are by self-choice. No access to education or health care? What happened to the Socialist/liberal raping of our weekly paychecks in the last 40 to 50 years?
Poor, in America, is.. you get what you don’t pay for.
