It's been a long week and time for me to depart for the weekend. I leave you with a NEW open thread; Enjoy! Do yourself a favour and give this early morning debate between Sir Ronald Cohen and that Tuscan based Trot, Polly Toynbee. Whose side do you think the interviewer is on? Mark Mardell, that pro-Obama shill operating Stateside is worth watching; A regular B-BBC contributor has held his latest pronouncements up to the light and this is what can be seen; "Catching up with Mardell and his up close and personal attack on Rick Perry: Mark Mardell is a slippery fellow...giving truth but missing out salient facts that would alter people's perceptions of what he says: He lays into the Republican Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, and tells us that there are people who would dispute that the Republicans (Thatcher admiring conservatives) have done as well as they say on the economy.

BBC MIRACLE OR BBC CURSE
'The Texas economy may feel like a miracle to some, but to others it is more like a diabolical torment. '
He links to an article by a Richard W Fisher (and note how up to date Mardell is..must be desperately scouring the internet to dig up any opposing voices)..... http://dallasfed.org/news/speeches/fisher/2011/fs110817.cfm Richard W. Fisher Connecting the Dots: Texas Employment Growth; a Dissenting Vote; and the Ugly Truth (With Reference to P.G. Wodehouse) August 17, 2011 Who is Fisher? He turns out he is a Democrat:'Texas Organizing Project says it's 'not ACORN with a new name' '
ACORN was a Obama supporting organisation that tried to fix elections in the US amongst many other scandals......and it looks as if TOP is formed along exactly the same lines organising 'community leaders' and getting involved in electoral organizing despite denials of doing so.... http://www.dallasnews.com/news/community-news/coppell/headlines/20100723-texas-organizing-project-says-it_s-not-acorn-with-a-new-name.ece "We're not ACORN with a new name," Brim said. "We're a completely new organization." TOP aims to work for improving schools, neighborhoods and access to health care and jobs. Brim said TOP is not working on any voter registration drives, though it may in the future.' Really? 'The Texas Organizing Project (TOP) promotes social and economic equality for low to moderate income Texans through community and electoral organizing.' 'Many consider them a new version of an old community-organizing group that folded earlier this year after a string of controversies: ACORN. Like the defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, TOP is a grass-roots community-organizing group. The new Houston-based nonprofit was formed by several former Texas ACORN employees.' Texas Organizing Project Is Newest ACORN Spinoff Group By Matthew Vadum on 3.29.10 @ 6:39PM An inside ACORN source has just confirmed this to me: the Texas chapter of ACORN has pretended to break off from the national group and has incorporated itself under the name Texas Organizing Project. http://spectator.org/blog/2010/03/29/texas-organizing-project-is-ne# Want a job at the TOP? http://www.unionjobs.com/staff/tx/tx-opef.html Mission: The 501(c)(3) Organizing Table is a fiscally sponsored project of the Texas Organizing Project. The Voter Engagement Organizing Table is working in target communities in the Houston area and Harris County to engage underrepresented communities in the democratic process, develop new leadership from within these constituencies, take collective action on important policy issues and establish a long-term model and infrastructure for increasing voter participation in the County. Job Title: Coordinator Voter Engagement Table; Reports to: Director Texas Organizing Project Mardell has 'forgotten' to tell us that two of the opposing voices he has named are in fact Democrat supporters.....bearing in mind his blog is probably read in the US as well that surely amounts to an attempt to swing people's voting decisions away from the Republican candidate......is the BBC like the Guardian (which had its nose punched when it similarly told Americans to 'vote democrat') subverting American politics to its own ends? Surely not?

Richard W Fisher '...he was a candidate for the same U.S. Senate seat in the regularly scheduled election, defeating former Texas Attorney General Jim Mattox and U.S. Congressman Michael A. Andrews in the Democratic primary.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_W._Fisher Mardell then links us to the Pastor Gerald Taylor of the Texas Organizing Project......
