I just hope that voters will ask themselves: Who do you think will actually lend you a hand should things get even worse? Emma Ruby-Sachs: It Gets Better, But No Thanks To You, President Obama Every time the Obama administration stands up and defends an offensive and bigoted law, it conveys a message that being gay is a weakness, a problem and a reason to be treated with less respect than everybody else. Michael Brenner: November 2 -- For Whom the Bell Tolls The chatter and clatter of the artless spectacle that our politics has become conceals a stunning truth: We have missed an historic opportunity to reverse America's steady descent into Reaganism.     HuffPost News The One-Person Funded Super PAC: How Wealthy Donors Can Skirt Campaign Finance Restrictions George W.
