Images of Thom
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
—Robert Greenwald, political activist and founder and president of Brave New Films
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
—Mike Farrell, actor, political activist, and author of Just Call Me Mike and Of Mule and Man
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
—John Perkins, author of the New York Times bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

As much as the republicans hate President Obama, if they can get him to destroy the programs that define the democratic party, then that will destroy the base support for the party.
The base may not be willing to vote republican, but they will have no reason to vote democratic.
The GOP is not the GOP anymore, and they haven't been a halfway decent party for 40 years. Even before that they weren't the party of the people. I have never voted Republican in my life on any level, and I'm nearly 65.
Tweedle Dee is the only choice we have, or it goes to Tweedle Dum.
O will hand them the store to cut a deal and in the 11th hour pull the carpet out from under him. Fool O once shame on them. Fool O twice, thrice, etc., You can't get fooled twice....( to paraphrase a "Filosofer" named dumbya.) !!!!! This gang is still determined to undermine the President even at the expense of the republic.
