“Well, Moyers may be right. But all the money in the world couldn't elect Rudi Guliani, Mitt Romney. The thing about Obama was his intelligence and charm. He is essentially likeable and one of our greatest orators. Plus theres no one out there on the rethuglican side who is attractive for President.”

“He doesn't care. What part of that don't you get? He is in the catbird seat. Those of us who put Obama in gave him the power. Wall Street gave him the juice.”

“The founding fathers paid for all newspaper circulation. I can't think of one law in the constitution that would make subsidizing investigative journalism unconstitutional. What is interesting is that no news can be delivered without investigation, so there is no difference between news and investigative journalism. For gov. to tell NPR that they could not investigate stories is counter to the definition of news. It was after NPR discovered the largest price fixing fraud in American history that congress was lobbied to take away their power to deliver the news. Calling in "experts" to give opinions is not news and succors propaganda. How is it that subsidizing investigative journalism, i.e. detective work, the same job that the justice system does can possibly be found to be unconstitutional?”

“Right. Nafta and rescinding financial regulations are the biggest contributors to the current unemployment debacle. I liked Clinton but he was no progressive.”

“He ran because he could. Thats all. His biggest contributors were Goldman Sachs guys. He obviously doesn't have a clue how he is being used. He is too naive and inexperienced. I say this to my own detriment since I was a huge supporter. Now I am profoundly disappointed and feeling very stupid.”

“No, no, no. More death, blood, vengeance and mayhem would be horrendous. Read history. It just puts sociopaths in power for generations. There is such a thing as a quiet and peaceful revolution. Build new institutions like co ops and nourish them and begin to educate people about how liberalism works in other countries.”

“Your comment reminds me of how cynically the neo con war mongers and the country club republicans used the evangelical folks to replace their conservative heart and get into power. Now their party is splintering to bits and has no substantive machinery to govern nor any viable political philosophy. What happens to liberalism that betrays its own progressive heart? Somethings got to give.”
