Thom Hartmann is a dynamic voice for the aggrieved middle class. After one commercial break on a recent broadcast, the national radio host proudly declared,

“Welcome back to the Thom Hartman show where our talking points come from Jefferson and Madison, not some right wing think tank.”

His syndicated radio show is carried on more than 80 radio stations daily from noon to 3 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) and Sunday mornings from 10 AM to 1 PM EST. Hartmann is also an award-winning, best selling author of fourteen books, an entrepreneur, and an innovator in the fields of psychiatry, ecology and economics. Most recently Hartman authored, Screwed: The Undeclared War On the Middle Class - And What We Can Do About It (Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc.).

Hartmann graciously agreed to an interview with me about his new book and political philosophy.

Oh please,He can't hide.He's knows it.He can try to distance himself all he wants.Uncle Tom Republicans are not very good at hiding;being so few in number and all.First,he decided to run as a Republican which has Sell-Out written all over it because of what the Republican Party has done to the Black Community for the last 40 years.Second,he lied about having OREOs thrown at him,which doesn't even represent Black Republicans anyway,it means something else entirerly.Then,the Uncle Tom, Mr. "I luvs my Massah" had the nerve to pretend to be all irate at the Black Republicans Ad that suggests the Democratic Party started the Ku Klux Klan when we all know it was a bunch of WT Hicks from the south called Dixicrats.Steele knew he was a part of spreading that mess.Talk about lies.Mr Steele made the mistake of thinking he was dealing with some IGNORANT southern folk who don't realize that slavery is over,but instead,he was dealing with the Blacks in Maryland who know history and who aren't stupid.So, that Rep Attack Ad claiming the Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan,met instant rebuttal.Poor Mr.Uncle Tom.If he somehow made it, let's just say, I wonder how stupid he would feel standing on the floor of the Senate giving a speech on behalf of one of his Republican "Massahs" that disenfranchises the very rights of his own BLACK people.I wonder how he would look.LOL.If he wins, his life would be a living hell.Petitions will fly in from all over like we do with all the polititians and he will be FORCED to take a position that will show his Sell-Out ways.

I can't stand that BOY!

I have been in full support of Howard Dean's 50 state strategy, but I feel very strongly that the priority facing us is winning a majority in congress, and we cannot afford to let that slip away.

When I see a bimbo like Kathleen Harris climbing in the polls, and a race in Virginia that could now easilly be won still in a dead heat, I know we're not spending enough.

In almost all the key races, the GOP has on average a 3 to 1 spending advantage on us, and we're doing very well for having the cards stacked against us. Let's push over the top here fellas! Once we have a majority, we can THEN work toward funding the 50 state strategy.

We can win in Maryland. We can win in Ohio. We can win in Virginia, Missouri, Rhode Island, etc. That would help in turning these states blue.

How can Kathleen Harris climb in the polls???? Come on! If anyone deserves to lose by a landslide, SHE does. She's who stuck us with Bush all these years. There's a vendetta to settle there, isn't there?

We have them on the issues, hands down. Let's cough up the money to put it in front of the people now.

Dear Democratic Party,
As a long time Democrat of 40 years...I'm here to tell you that.. You are on the wrong side of this Illegal Immigration Issue...among other things and, if you continue to push for legalization of illegal’s via this “Route to Citizenship” , you are going to lose with the American Voters. There’s already a Route to Citizenship! You need to enforce the laws that are on the books, now!

I think you have “sold out” and are pandering to the Hispanic vote.
I will be voting Independent this year. I may never vote Democratic again, unless, you actually decide to get some balls and stand up to the threats that this country is facing from around the world.

You act like a party of pussies that would roll over at the first sign of a conflict. I can no longer support a party that is soooo politically correct that they have hamstrung themselves, unable to protect the National Interest of this country.

What happened to Democrats like Scoop Jackson, Harry Truman and John Kennedy? We have no real leadership now from either party, as they have both sold out to Special Interests and have become Corporate whores.

I can't stand this nauseating Political Correctness, Anymore!
Reform Yourselves...or face Extinction!

MD

PS. Not only will I “Not vote for you“... but will be working Against you, as long as you push for “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” that includes “short cuts to citizenship for lawbreakers“!

Hillary is a crooked pitbull who can get away with genocide with the help of her italian lawyer and crooked pentagon nigger hating husband. The DNP with hillary is a homocide party to young uninformed blacks for starters they don;t even now michael steele helped them make the jump to college and endorsed the revitalization of black campuses. If they took the drives we take they would see it our way and many have. Bottom line this black man needs a lawyer to tie up lose ends and it is because of hilary clinton and her women loving husband. Bill knows the white house inside out if you know what I mean. All I can say to the United States Attorneys office is to get her, along with the CIA and SETI we might be able to get her to pay her parking tickets. So I,m supposes to vote for cardin and depend on management to be cool. O.K. I guess that 6.50 at thirty is it then.

We definetly have the message and to help Mr. "Stay the course" is sticking with his "Cut and run", accusations as we had hoped. Let's strengthen the message and raise boo coo amount of cash. We can do this!

Dear William,

People ask me how the latest Republican scandal affects our strategy blah, blah, blah for November.

Let's make one thing clear -- Blah, blah, blah, blah...

And we're learning more every day about Republican Leaders' failure to live up to the responsibilities of their own power, as revelations of a cover-up reach all the way up to Speaker Dennis Hastert.

But this episode does not change our strategy one bit.

Blah, Blah Blah Blah.....

The Republican culture of corruption and cover-up has reigned for too long...blah blah blah.

Democrats are ready to lead,...blah, blah, blah and I hope you'll be a part of it.

Thank you,
Tom

Dear Democratic Party,
You are missing the real message in all of this!

"The American People are fed up with corruption in both parties".To those that pander to corporations and to those that provide them with cheap labor through an open door, "anchor babies" Welcome policy.

We've had it!

I will be voting Independent this year and in 2008 in order to kick the Bums (Incumbents Out...including Democrats) out! I will write in someones name, if I have too... but, you as a party have totally lost my trust.

When you support illegal aliens "non-rights" with such things as free tuition and coddled treatment over America's working Middle Class and American Citizens rights...I draw the line!

Are you insane?

When you "fail to protect our borders"...I, as a Democrat...or, former Democrat...I draw the line!

Tell me how many American students could be benefiting with financial assistance with the money you are spending to educate Mexico's illegal's, just here in my state??

The corrupt Senate is especially full of itself. They are by far the most arrogant of Elitists who believe they are somehow entitled to a lifetime position within our law making body. The only laws they really create anymore are those beholding to their lobbying hordes.

The American people are no longer even a consideration.

I will be doing what I have to this election! I just hope everyone else sends the same message during these next few elections.

It's time to take our country back from this swine infested, cess-pool, of "Do Nothing" sloth.

I hope they find their services are no longer welcome or desired...come November!
