“Corporate welfare at its best! Too bad the banks and credit card companies that were bailout beneficiaries weren't allowed to fail though. Then some of the smaller, more sensibly run banking institutions could have risen to take their place.

Afghanistan: Fraud, Opium, and Taliban

Commented Oct 24, 2009 at 16:07:21 in World

“The U.S. would be better of it paid more attention to the fraudulent presidential election in Mexico and less to elections in Iran and Afghanistan. There's a political insurrection going on in Mexico in the wake of the crooked election that put Calderon in office over his more popular opponent Obrador. Calderon is embarassed by the turn of events and is calling anyone against him a member of a drug cartel. Calderon needs money from the U.S. to maintain control of Mexico and the spin machine there is working overtime. But it's not a drug war going on in Mexico. It's an insurrection, pure and simple.

“Voter fraud occurs so frequently that it's hardly news anymore. The biggest example of it in the Western Hemisphere occurred in Mexico when Calderon stole the presidential election from Obrador. Now there's an insurrection underway in Mexico where the death toll is on steep upswing.

“Why not print more dollars, spread them around to consumers on the condition the consumers keep spending? In fact, Congress could pass a law requiring U.S. citizens to spend a certain amount of money monthly for junk they don't need. Then wouldn't everything be like the good old days?

“Why aren't we covering the "uprising" in our neighbor to the south, Mexico? It's not a just a "drug war," raging down there. It's an insurrection in the wake of the country's fraudulent presidential election. Two politicos -- Calderon and Obrador -- are both claiming to be president.

Wozzeck replied on Jul 20, 2009 at 15:01:12

“The fraud was well documented. Using the GOP playbook, FECAL (Felipe Caulderon) and crew made sure that electronic vote counting was done by their amigos. Mexico is not a competitive threat to "our special friend" in the middle east with all its corporate media advocates, hence little coverage.”

President Obama: Iran -- How Cautious Is Too Cautious?

Commented Jun 21, 2009 at 20:32:18 in World

“If subverting the will of the people in an election is so all-fired bad, why wasn't it bad, too, in Mexico when a fraudulent presidential election put Calderon in office. I didn't hear anyone in Congress wailing about that. There were riots in the streets in Mexico and a U.S. journalist was killed, but nary a word from President Bush. Of course Calderon was Bush's candidate. I guess it's okay to steal political elections if the U.S. candidate prevails. Sterling Greenwood/Aspen Free Press”

Ending the War on Drugs: The Moment is Now

Commented May 15, 2009 at 15:25:46 in Politics

“The War on Drugs will never end. It would put too many people out of work. And the war will never be won, either, for the same reason. Maybe we ought focus, though, on chemicals in foods that don't make you high, but instead make you want to eat more. Drug abuse doesn't hold a candle to food abuse when it comes to the toll on human health. Sterling Greenwood/Aspen Free Press”

“Yes we need to get rid of Social Security and the minimum wage and Medicare, too. Welcome to Scarborough Country. Let's go back to being a wholly free market society. Only thing is the biggest welfare beneficiaries these days are Joe's pals, Republican bankers. Too bad we didn't allow the big banks and mortgage companies to crash and burn. Some smaller financially sound banks would have gladly grown larger to fill the void. I guess it doesn't pay anymore to play by the rules in order to get ahead. Sterling Greenwood/Aspen Free Press”
