“The ONLY way the GLTG community will ever be accepted and allowed the same rights as everyone else is granted in America is when they ( the GLTG community members) take a "fiscal" approach.

Rather than spending money supporting toothless legislation movements that are always shot down by big $$, boycott the offending and the offensive.

Vote with your dollars.
More importantly, let them know they lost revenue every time you choose another option.

Boycott Main, Main products, Main services, Main industry.
Who needs 'em?

They will change their minds when it hit's their pocketbooks.
They always do.
It is the American way after all.”

“It was the upside down part that incapacitated GW”

“So we're getting punked and tossed under the bus by our own team after all this sound and fury - what a surprise.

OK, so now we know without a doubt, "our" system of governance no longer reflects the majority of voting Americans. It's no longer "our" government, it's "their" government.
It makes little difference to me who is producing the kabuki.

Time to re register as an independent and vote out all incumbents.”

“In hindsight, "trickle on" seems a more appropriate description.”

“The big benefit for the banker/investor class is that they can then snatch up your home for pennies on the dollar after you have lost it to foreclosure and resell it for full price.

Wash
Rinse
Repeat”

“at least you'll get the health care covered and free meals ( just like the people in Guantanamo) if you are locked up.”

“"The closest thing to a silver bullet to improving efficiency in health care delivery is to focus on disease prevention and management."

Uh no, single payer is the closest thing to your silver bullet but as we all know, he/she who controls the conversation, controls the outcome.

Blue Cross controls the political prostitutes and the political prostitutes control the conversation.”

“don't have to play to win...”

“ahhh the ever popular "Fiscally Responsible"' escape clause... $5 Billion of our tax dollars a month goes to undeclared/unfunded wars and they don't bat an eye.

I can't help but wonder where these financially responsible folks were during the last 8 years when the conservatives ran the economy off of a cliff -since the supposed opposition did nothing of consequence to reign the madness in.

Now, when there is clearly a need for changing the system before the US suffers economic collapse on the backs of 1 of every 5 dollars spent being health insurance related, they balk?

I despise these people more and more every day - it matters not which "team" you may align yourself with red or blue or rainbow. Just because you wear the hat and the scarf and wave the big sign, it doesn''t mean you are actually on their team, it just means you bought their marketing materials and are now a self financed advertising medium.

In all honesty, most of 'em could care less if you or I live or die as long as the money keeps rolling in.

We need to throw these bums out of office - they've been sucking the government so long they have no clue about the real world issues facing non beltway citizens.

They could do much more for their constituents.
We can do much better next election.

Throw the bums out!.”

“Unfortunately, this will have to get much worse before "we the people" will be motivated to take corrective action. Al that the right has to do is lie, deny and obstruct and we're stuck in Bushland where the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the middle class slowly disappears.”

“AKA: The Republican Option”

“And you will certainly cry foul when it is used on you, while denying that you chose to say nothing when your "team" started this illegal behavior. It can and will cut both ways.”

“YES!”

“Great post. One problem - it's too simple and transparent, there's not enough confusion built in for exploiting, skimming, stealing or misappropriating funds without being caught.

"our" corporate owned politicians would never be allowed to allow something like that to happen here in 'merica.

/snark”

“Projection”

“"We have not yet, as a pop culture-breathing, tabloid-fueled nation, decided how we feel about powerful older guys seducing the young women who work for them."

I call BS.
There is an obvious double standard at work in the boardrooms of the MSM.

The bottom line: It's OK if you are a Republican.
Not so much if you are a Dem.

Henry Hide, Newt Gingrich, John Ensign, David Vitter and the list goes on and on.”

“What if they called it unpatriotic or anti American or aiding the enemy, would that make you feel any better?

Pot, meet kettle”

“Let's throw the bums out and start over with a fresh crop of "leaders".
We need term limits & campaign finance reform in the worst way. Our current "leaders" will never choose to address those issues with honesty and integrity.”

“as long as the artificially inflated real estate markets don't collapse before you can extract said equity.”

“We need a plan and we need to work the plan.
We need to better understand the new dynamics of our economy. We need to recognize what "our" power truly is and where it rests in this day and age - clearly voting is not enough to sway the true power centers in Washington and corporate America. Once we understand our situation, we then need to reclaim our power from the corporate lobby industry, vote all of the current Senate Club members out and start over with fresh meat.

Personally, in the end I think it will all come down to our discretionary dollars and how and where we choose invest/spend 'em.”

“If we started voting with our real power, our dollars, I.E. pulling your money out of the big banks and place it in local community credit unions, notice will be taken.

The only real, honest vote in America is how you choose to spend your money.”

“We'll most likely just sit it out since voting really has no significant impact on policy these days, OR perhaps we'll finally start throwing the bums out, starting with the Blue (Cross) Dogs.”

“One good first step would be to starve the multinational banks by taking your money/investments out and placing them in community credit unions.

If BankersWall Street are too big to fail, how about we reduce their size one person at a time?

If our money is not there for them to use, they will enjoy less political influence as the days pass by.”

“You can't trust this guy.”

“Another thing we can do is remove our money from international banks and put the money into local community credit unions. Starve the Corporate beast!”
