The Republicans' Disdain for the American People Should Be the Story of 2009
Commented Jan 01, 2010 at 09:58:29 in Politics
“Just stop it! Republicans aren't the problem, it's Obama and his Goldman Sachs Democrats. I am sick and tired of smoke and mirrors. Republicans did what they always do. It is Obama who lied to the entire country and sold us out.”
SCyankee replied on Jan 01, 2010 at 14:46:16
“I agree! It's not "Republican" or "Democrat". Both are trained and coached to drink either red or blue koolaid. The decent of our democracy into an oligarchy has been going on, unhindered, for decades.
The linchpins?
Previously unthinkably biased corporate owned media. MASS MEDIA! A koolaide channel for everyone, but each flavor promoting decay by defining "us against them" as meaning Republicans versus Democrats instead of the ruling class versus everyone else.”

“I have no idea what that link has to do with this article. I seriously don't think I need to pay any attention to "dumps" period. And principle is something Bush didn't even know how to spell. So don't talk to me about Obama's principles. At least he's got some!”

“This is junk! If I didn't know better, I'd think I wondered into Koscandyland. Obama talks a good game, takes pretty pictures and then kills thousands of people through his wars, corporate owned health care bills, and his total inaction to the continued offshoring of American jobs while he plunges Americans into bankruptcy and foreclosure.”

“Here's another Democrat that thought they voted for the Democrats, too. This administration has proven that Democrats and Republicans, progressive and conservative, all lie like hell and do as their corporate buddies please. The only current difference between the two parties is that one is totally crazy, and I'm not which.
If a third party could do it, I would vote for it, but I know the only way to get power is to be able to hurt them. Since voting for third party doesn't hurt them enough, I am going to vote for the real Republcians in 2010 and 2012.
I wish Howard Dean would run again.”

An Inglorious End to the Promise of Reform

“You guys have done more for reform than almost anyone out there. Thanks for the fight. I hope you'll remember the big FU you got from the Democrats in 2010 and 2012. It is time to throw all of the bums out, and "real" liberals need some leadership on how to do it. More and better Democrats is akin to no calorie chocolate. Throw the bums out!”

Congress Is Committed to Creating Jobs on Main Street

“Don't come here with your phony campaign promises. You guys wouldn't even stand up to Rahm on this corporate welfare health care deal, and they are coming after social security next. Now you want us to believe that YOU are going to stand up against unfair trade? create an industrial policy for this country? In my dreams. It was Democrats and Clinton that gave away our jobs, and it is Obama and Democrats that are funding two wars on my grandchildren's credit cards while whining we can't afford Medicare for all. You can all kiss my vote and money good bye.”

Landrieu will not be broke. Her father, Moon Landrieu is WEALTHY. He was a good mayor and ended up with the moniker of "last white Mayor of New Orleans". She will not be in the unemployment line. She only got money to save her state because of the mess of the hurricanes.”

“Oakland, unfortunately, Mary, like all other Con-gress-critters, gets to keep her deliciously fantastic healthcare benefits FOR LIFE (that would include her spouse too).
And while I am thrilled for the 30 million that will get mandated (or get fined) coverage, the other 300 million of us that are getting raked over the coals and raped by a system that is completely antithetical to the "common good", leaves me sick. This will go down in history as one of the greatest missed opportunities to reform a truly misaligned system....

“Throw all the bums out. Instead of Medicare for all, we get screwed by all. Next, Obama is coming for Social Security. From the National Nurses Assocation:
"NNU cited ten significant problems in the legislation, noting many of the same flaws also exist in the House version and are likely to remain in the bill that emerges from the House-Senate reconciliation process:
1. The individual mandate forcing all those without coverage to buy private insurance, with insufficient cost controls on skyrocketing premiums and other insurance costs.
2. No challenge to insurance company monopolies, especially in the top 94 metropolitan areas where one or two companies dominate, severely limiting choice and competition.
3. An affordability mirage. Congressional Budget Office estimates say a family of four with a household income of $54,000 would be expected to pay 17 percent of their income, $9,000, on healthcare exposing too many families to grave financial risk.
4. The excise tax on comprehensive insurance plans ... encourage employers to reduce benefits, shift more costs to employees, promote.hi

Senate Health Care Reform Takes Major Compromises
Commented Dec 20, 2009 at 07:10:31 in Politics
“Obama sold out working/middle class Americans and stuck them with the tab. If any state needs "unlimited payola for medicaid expansion" it isn't Nebraska with its 4% unemployment rate - its Michigan. I think we all need to fire our Senators and Reps who supported Obama. Obviously, they need to be opposing him if they are going to bring home any of our tax dollars. It is time to dump both parties and vote third party. Enough of these liars and crooks called Democrats and Republicans. Same way Goldman Sachs can't regulate themselves, neither can those crooks. They are the fat cats that own seven homes, 4 jets, and six global corporations. Throw them all out.”
Rep. Capuano Tells Fellow Dems: 'You're Screwed'
Commented Dec 20, 2009 at 07:00:23 in Politics
“They are screwed and deserve to be screwed because they still don't have a clue. "need to be given a chance to vote" WTF is this? So we elect people to represent us except when Obama and Rahm tell them they have to vote with them. Lieberman and Nelson can vote anyway they please, so it must mean they are voting for exactly what Rahm and Obama want. The real problem is money. Democrats and REpublicans are all the same. The parties are alike and the people running the parties are the people who own seven homes, 4 jets, and 6 global corporations. It is time to throw all of the bums out. Until Americans drop both parties solidly on their asses, nothing will ever change. It could be done with a simple write in campaign. Vote for no one and write in everywhere, none of the above. After mostly voting for Democrats over the last 30 years, Clinton and Obama are the straw that broke my camels back. They are both liars and corporate whores, and they have become the epitome of what Democratic Party represents.”

“Don't blame Lieberman. It's Obama and Rahm that destroyed health care reform. Bailing out Rubin and Goldman Sachs wasn't enough. They have to give the insurance company and pharma what the banks and the war profiteers left. Dump Obama, vote third party - Dean/Sanders 2012”

MaryanneAZ replied on Dec 17, 2009 at 16:08:08
“Bad idea. You forget that we do not typically Primary our own President in the WH. President Obama will run and win in 2012 because: he cannot be improved on, Primaries are hugely expensive (even if there were a "better" candidate to run), Primaries are majorly divisive, and Primaries create a huge opening for the opposing Party to gain ground (we deplete funds that could have gone to the general election and we give them ammo for their ads with our Primary debates and campaign rhetoric). I predict that President Obama will select Hillary Clinton to run as his VP in 2012, thereby positioning her to run in 2016 and finally breaking the ultimate glass ceiling. It seems we go through this same dream candidate discussion every time the road gets bumpy during every Dem President's term.”

“"THEY" have done MORE to provide America with Health Care, during my lifetime, than anyone. Without "THEY" there would be NO bill at all. I've listened to people like you fall on your sword before and I KNOW the results. It's attitudes like this that has been responsible for FAILURE after FAILURE after FAILURE!! You take all you can get with one bite and go out and do everything you can to support those who HAVE been or WILL be on your side. Then you go after more.”
