Will The Unemployment Disaster Be Obama's Katrina?
Commented Nov 24, 2009 at 09:18:56 in Politics
“We now own Wall Street and Fed, like it or not. So don't we get a say in how our money is abused?”

“Right on the first part, wrong on the second. It's not "Democrats" who despise small business, it's transnational corporate monopolists of both parties. And the left and right can work togethger to stop it, just as Paul and Grayson joined up to audit the Fed.”

“A White House which demands the party's big tent accommodate every Blue Dog fake Democrat's demands doesn't want to hear a peep from progressives. Shut up, take it and like it.”

“. . . alas, it certainly seems that way. (Obama's greatest time of strength, thus far, was in the early days of his presidency. Good will was so high then that he certainly could have pushed through some of his explicit campaign promises -- but the tide seems to have turned and the Republican law makers are more than emboldened, they're obstructionists. Stay tuned . . .)”
Dave Obey Chides Obama Administration For 'Stupid Mistakes' On Stimulus Reporting
Commented Nov 17, 2009 at 10:10:04 in Politics
“Here we are worried about reporting for the $700 billion stimulus while the $15 trillion bank bailout remains completely under the radar, no accountability or transparency whatsoever. Kinda makes you wonder if the former is just a smoke screen for the latter.”

Tea Party Protest Turns Violent (VIDEO)

“Uh, they did attack. Notice this happened in the counter-protest area.”
Blufftonian replied on Nov 17, 2009 at 10:21:12
“The amnesty supporter (black sleeveless t-shirt) attacked the Tea Partier with his sign. I guess that is what was meant by the ANSWER memo calling for "a militant confrontation with the so-called 'tea baggers.' Beating back these forces..."”

“We should have nationalized the Fed and the bailed-out banks when we had the chance. Instead, we mortgaged our future and handed them the payout. Our nation is run by coroprate-owned gutless wonders.”

“Correctamundo.......Corporate Sock-Puppets, all of them.
You lamented: "We should have nationalized the Fed and the bailed-out banks when we had the chance". Well, we never had and never will have the chance to do any such thing. Current Campaign Finance laws allow the Global Corporate Cabal to OWN the 'Legislative and Executive' branches of our government. The only entities that can change the relevant laws are, you guessed it, "the 'Legislative and Executive' branches of our government". Ain't gonna happen!”

Make Everything Your Own
Commented Nov 15, 2009 at 15:22:08 in Books
“How quaint. Sadly, we live under transnational corporate feudalism, where they take everything we used to own. We've also been turned against our own hollowed-out governments, the only institutions once powerful enough to stop the corporate overlords. So the posters here suggest we instead cling to libertarian fantasy. It might make them feel better. But it's not going to change anything.”

“Those transnational companies you refer to serve a purpose in the grand Universal Plan. Don't curse them, but recognize that their purpose and utility will progressively diminish as humanity evolves. The Universe has already planned for their obsolescence as It did the dinosaur.
The current paradigm-shift we are observing presents many opportunites. Instead of resigning yourself to some perceived fate, I suggest that you learn to take advantage of every opportunity currently open to you and prepare for future opportunities on the horizon.”

“United, sure. Just ask the Rethug leaders in NY 23. We're seeing a major shift in how voters see their parties, and how the parties see themselves. Lead, follow, or get flattened.”
omeo2013 replied on Nov 13, 2009 at 09:32:45
“One single defeat does not equal a "major shift". Besides, this article is proof that there are civil wars brewing on both sides. I don't think we're that much better off than they are. What do you think would've happened in NY 23 if the DNC approved candidate had lost the nomination to a more progressive candidate? I'm not saying they would've lost, but I'm not sure they would've won; not in a district the G.O.P has held since the civil war.”

“This is, of course, exactly why we bailed them out. No point in buying them a nice new butcher knife if we can't enjoy the sensation of it being shoved in our collective backs and then twisted.”

“Good work, Kirk. You'll please the base and, if nominated, lose the general. Rabid pro-lifers of both parties lose statewide in Illinois, as Glen Poshard can tell you.”

Virginia Governor's Race 2009: McDonnell Beats Deeds
Commented Nov 04, 2009 at 09:01:37 in Politics
“Deeds was a triangulating DINO fraud and Corzine a Wall Street tool afraid to tax the rich. Both lost because progressives stayed home. This is a warning to the party: If you want to win in 2010, wake up and smell the revolution. Run real people who actually stand for something. No more Blue Dogs and other fake Dems.”

No Difference Between President Obama and Candidate Obama
Commented Nov 03, 2009 at 20:03:53 in Politics
“So if the president goes even slower, the teabaggers are sure to get behind him. After all, look how many Republicans have lined up for health insurance reform since that got bogged down. Hey, if he puts his administration in 'reverse,' he can just reimplement all of Bushes executive orders and signing statements. That's bound to make everyone happy.”

“The corporate media always dismisses the likes of Kucinich, Sanders and now Grayson. It's a badge of honor. If the corporate shills liked these congressmen, then we'd have to wonder who owns them.”

“Change is hard. It's even harder when you load your administration with the usual revolving-door regulators, DLC fake Democrats and Republican saboteurs -- then abandon all your best ideas in the name of phony bipartisanship.”
