From TPM<\/a>: <\/span>Health care reform turned an important political corner. A Gallup poll released yesterday finds that, for the first time in months, more Americans say that the Affordable Care Act is a good thing than think it’s a bad thing.<\/p>\n

The more it kicks in, the more GOP propaganda will die on the vine.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Think Progress<\/a>: <\/span>Missouri farmer David Jungerman has raised the hackles of local residents with a politically-charged sign he\u2019s placed on his \u201c45-foot-long, semi-truck box trailer\u201d on his farm. The trailer reads: \u201cAre you a Producer or Parasite Democrats \u2013 Party of the Parasites.\u201d Now, the Kansas City Star reveals that Jungerman has been the recipient of over a million dollars of federal farm subsidies since 1995.<\/p>\n
