Good points to bring up during the election season this year. And to drive home in local races, as well. I'll add this I found, because it can't be said too often about our opposition:

The single largest defect of modern conservatism is that it has ruined the nation. Conservatives do not have ideas; they have interests.

Conservatives are not “thinkers”; they are rationalizers who give an intellectual gloss to their belief that an alliance of predatory businesspeople and religious extremists should rule the rest of us.

The wreckage caused by modern conservatism lies all around us, and speaks for itself: If conservatism isn’t dead, it should be.

But there were times when I kept hearing MIC check. He has slowed the decent by flapping his arms, but he would have done better to pull the cord. He talks a good talk be he has a poor follow through.

His campaign office has finally figured out that he has alienated every liberal and progressive in this country at some point. He has kissed GOP ass, and for what? I voted for FDR and got a Hoover. For goodness sake, if you are going to walk up to the bell, you might as well ring it-you may not get another chance.

I can't express how disappointed I have been with Obama, he has broke my heart in ways I never thought were possible for a Democrat to do. I can't make nice anymore, I am too weary.
