![Matthew Adams](http://rabble.ca/sites/rabble/files/imagecache/thumbnail/category_pictures/Photo 6_0.jpg "Matt moved to Toronto from the U.S just in time for Mike Harris to take power in Ontario and has been stunned ever since. Matthew Adams is a co-founder of the Catalyst Centre (a social justice popular education worker co-op), www.catalystcentre.ca, and works with a number of organizations including the Fourth Pig Worker Co-op, the publicist for the Mayworks Festival of Working People and the Arts in Toronto (where he is a proud member of CUPE local 1281) and rabble.ca where he is the Special Projects Coordinator. You can hear Matt rant about politics on the podcast "I read the news today (oh boy)" on the rabble podcast network and read him on the blog of the same name at rabble.ca.")
The mighty mighty right wing declares a revolution in the making in upstate New York, only to fail and then claim a victory over Obama. Stephen and Matt explore what this means for the GOP, is there a typical GOP candidate anymore at all? Maybe Lieberman? And why should there be when the Democrats push things to the right anyway, like the stripping of abortion and contraception services from the House health care bill. Plus Should progressives vote down health care? As always we share some news you might have missed including problems with Palm Oil, American CIA agents found guilty in Italy for kidnapping and more.
