Congress is exempt from the laws that it enacts; Members of Congress are not.

Here's what they get when they retire:

As far as making them more accountable, it'll never happen.

Government work = sweet gig

If it wasn't, they wouldn't be working so hard to keep the gig. If only they worked as hard to actually do the job.

Dear Angry American, Joining the Tea Party Is NOT Your Only Option

I'm pro-choice, pro-gay rights, pro-fair trade, anti-NAFTA, for unions, for 'Smart' Programs (Social Security, Medicare, Unemployment Insurance, Aid to Families and Individuals), for clean green sustainable energy, for taxes (the correct Americans aren't taxed nearly enough, and corporations aren't 'persons' and should be taxed up the yin-yang), and from the look of that lovely child in your avatar, you should be for all that, too, for HER future in attaining the American dream.

You look to be very young, too.

People like hgovernick, who claim to be liberal Democrats, are why we're d00med to be consumed by corporate rule.

Because we Democrats have been doing it his way (the DLC's way) for 20 years now, and the nation and the Democratic Party keeps moving farther to the right.

Hey, hgovernick:

If you and I are on the same side, if you and I want the same policies (real Democratic policies), and going about getting them your way (protecting Obama, siding with Obama & the DLC-Controlled Democrats in Congress, liberals caving in, letting our Democratic representatives in Congress & the White House concede away our positions) is getting us Republican policies, NOT Democratic policies, when do you realize that maybe you don't know what you're talking about?

Do you ever realize it?

If that's what you're worried about, Obama and the DLC-controlled Democratic Party is selling you out even worse than Bush-Cheney and the GOP did.

This administration is a continuation of the criminal Bush administration.

Obama is asserting that he has the right to murder American citizens with no due process, no oversight whatsoever? And preventive detention?!?!

Pure Kafka-
http://www .salon.com /news/opin ion/glenn_ greenwald/ 2010/05/29 /kafka/ind ex.html

What makes Obama even worse than Bush-Cheney, IMHO, is that he campaigned on knowing different. Bush and Cheney make no excuses for what they did and are about. But Obama ran on not being like them, and to see what he's done in office (and when cornered the excuses!) -- HOLY MOTHERING G0D!

To say what he's saying, there can only be one of two reasons:

1. Obama's got no conscience, or,

2. . Cheney's got Michelle's mother in an 'undisclosed location'.

You can choose to believe whichever one makes you feel better about your ability to assess character.

But you can't pick #2 unless you ignore everything else known about him to date.

I'm an old OLD liberal Democrat.

Obama and the DLC-controlled Democratic Party is serving the Republican cause.

One of many examples is how the White House has put its full weight & support behind Blanche Lincoln over the true progressive (& union-backed) candidate in the primary, Bill Halter.

This wasn't unlike when Obama made a deal with Arlen Specter and put the full weight and support of the Democratic machine behind Specter during the 2010 primary in Pennsylvania, trying to buy off (among other alternative candidates Democratic voters in PA might have wanted to vote to have representing them) Joe Sestak. Consider that -- Obama actively went about trying to prevent Democratic voters from choosing their preferred candidate for the US so that a DINO, Republican Arlen Specter, could retain the seat.

Blanche Lincoln is 40 points down behind the GOP candidate John Boozman.

Guess who could beat Boozman in Arkansas? BillHalter. Because, like just about all Americans, Arkansans would prefer an authentic, likable candidate, even if it's a progressive.

But more progressives in Congress means real populist legislation getting passed into law. Real reform bills, that re-regulate banks and big business. Real stimulus bills, with jobs creation, green clean energy development, and more.

But that's not who or what Obama and the DLC-controlled Democrats are about.

The right attacking Obama and their refusal to work in "a bipartisan manner" should have pushed Obama to play hardball and move populist legislation through Congress quickly and decisively. To undo the Bush-Cheney abuses, especially with the tentative hold on a filibuster-proof majority Democrats were given in the 2008 election.

Instead, he let Republicans dictate the pace and shape a debate that was already done and voted on and won by Democrats in 2008.

If Republicans are so bad (and I think they are), why is Obama blocking all investigations and prosecutions into the Bush-Cheney administration? Perhaps if Bill Clinton hadn't done the same thing for the Reagan-Bush administration, we wouldn't have been saddled with Bush-Cheney at all.

When Obama came into power, the GOP wasn't on the ropes; it was down for the count. And Obama issued them a pardon.

Top Business Lobbyist Privately Says Dems Will Not Lose Congress

Then you're shortsighted and screwing yourself (and all of us), d00ming us to an indeterminate future with more of the same for as far as the eye can see.

Think, man, why would Democrats do anything to curry your favor (that is if you're really a Democrat), if they know they've got you no matter what they do, because you're so afraid of the other side?

Right now the DLC-controlled Democratic Party, with Barack Obama at the helm, is moving the Democratic Party even farther to the right-of-center, farther than it's already been for 20 years, in order to attract more Republican politicians and their supporters into the Democratic Party. So that it can "govern from the center for 100 years".

That's the DLC's own words.

Obama & the DLC aren't looking to satisfy Democratic voters. Obama & the DLC are as responsible for elevating the Tea Party to prominence as the Koch brothers are.

No sooner had Obama and Rahm Emanuel gotten into the White House, they went after Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin, in spite of the fact that Limbaugh & Palin have no role in the RepublicanParty, yes, I want to know why O'Donnell said that she's got "Hillary Democrats working behind and for her". (I caught your spin -- She's didn't say "Hillary's voters"; she said "Hillary Democrats are working behind and for her".)

Incidentally, Obama and RahmEmanuel have never gone after the Republican leadership directly. Not MitchMcConnell, not JohnBoehner, not EricCantor, not JohnMcCain (the titular head of the Party, as the last presidential nominee).

Obama and Rahm Emanuel won't go after Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Feith, Wolfowitz, Yoo, Bybee, et al, or anyone in the Republican leadership or in Congress, but instead they go after Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin (two people with no official role in the Republican Party).

Why hasn't Obama (nor any of the DemocraticParty leadership) held the BushAdministration to account?

Perhaps it would be kind of hard to swallow (Obama going after an administration for having committed crimes) when it's the same activities that Obama's actively engaged in. It's also counter-intuitive to your other agenda, the DLC's agenda for the past 20 years, which is to attract Republican politicians & their supporters into the DemocraticParty, which can only be done by moving the DemocraticParty to the right of right-of-center.

Ted Kennedy Jr. Demands Linda McMahon Pull JFK Ads

Why isn't Bill Clinton making a similar demand on Meg Whitman, who is using old clips of him bad mouthing Jerry Brown?

It wasn't the truth, yet it hasn't stopped Whitman from running it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUkhM0uzpQ

http://www.meg-a-myths.com/?p=395

And even the CNN reporter who Clinton was hiding behind has admitted that he was wrong - http://www.factcheck.org/2010/09/jerry-brown-and-california-taxes/

It's time that Bill Clinton came clean, got straight with the American people, and started working to set right his part in the fleecing of the American people. His life now needs to be all about doing penance -- HERE, not in Africa.

For all the bullying of the base of the Democratic Party by the DLC machine (Obama, Rahm Emanuel, the Davids, Axelrod & Plouffe are real nasty pieces of work), not to mention the Elizabeth Warren appointment trickery & chicanery ("No, trust us, 'special adviser' is much better"), that's something that they could do to improve Democrats' chances across the board.

And pressuring Democrats like Dianne Feinstein off of the anti-marijuana campaign initiative would go a long way towards increasing Democrats' numbers and the turnout.

But then the Democratic machine would have to actually be real Democrats instead of Republicans-in-Democrats'-clothing.

No, really? And this surprises who? Come on folks. CIA has been spreading their Magic everywhere since the 50's.
=============================================

Why would you try to disperse outrage over this?

The only way to stop it is for Americans to express their outrage, encourage others to be outraged and do something about it.

As Tracie L. Washington, Co-Director of The Louisiana Justice Institute said recently:

"Every time there's a disaster in Louisiana, the federal government thinks it can fix it by spraying us with dispersants.

Right after Katrina, they thought that they could solve our public education crisis by spraying 'Charter School'-dispersant, get rid of the failing schools, undereducated children.

They sprayed us with 'Affordable Housing'-dispersant thinking that that could get rid of our concentrated poverty and dilapidated housing.

We were sprayed with 'Private Care'-dispersants, and supposedly that was going to get rid of our indigent healthcare problems.

And then now, we've got this crisis in the Gulf and they're spraying us with chemical dispersants (Corexit) thinking that's going to get rid of the oil.

Stop spraying us with these dispersants.

Don't 'sperse me, man."

It only helps them hide the problems which need to be fixed, won't go away, and that can be fixed.

But not by the CIA. Not by war. Not by violence.

It's the equivalent of "Nothing to see here, move along".

It's a big deal, and if you don't express your outrage now about a rogue agency operating outside of international law under a Democratically-controlled administration, there will be repercussions (greater recruitment to Al Qaeda, increased risk in attacks on Americans).

And if this passes without a major debate and showdown, when the repercussions do happen, conservatives will point to this date and this news report and say, "But you didn't object then when it was happening under Obama!"

Because only if it has the capability of stopping you from shopping and giving the Masters of the Universe the profits they crave, will the US government react.

"Christine O'Donnell, running as a Republican (not as a Tea Party candidate -- The distinction is clear from her words), states she has "broad-based support", including 'Hillary Clinton Democrats' working behind her & with her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Glr2oQOSiQw ">

Why does she say that Hillary voters are behind her and working for her? Why does she say any of the nutty things she says. Because - one, she lies; two, she doesn't know much so she probably believes her own lies and third, go back to one.

Are you Christine O'Donnell?

If you're not, I'm not interested in why you believe she said it.

O'Donnell has also said that she doesn't lie, and wouldn't, not even to H!tler if there was a knock at her door and she was hiding Anne Frank in her attic.

That's an extraordinary thing to say, to admit.

Given the fact that no sooner had Obama and Rahm Emanuel gotten into the White House, they went after Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin, in spite of the fact that Limbaugh & Palin have no role in the RepublicanParty, yes, I want to know why O'Donnell said that she's got "Hillary Democrats working behind and for her".

O'Donnell grew up in a working class neighborhood in New Jersey. She's the second youngest of six children, raised as a Catholic.

She graduated high school as Reagan's presidency was drawing to a close, so i think it's fair to hold her up as a product of that administration and what happens when there is no serious opposition to or analysis of that criminal organization.

We have yet to have that discussion.

The initial way that Republicans got away with not having the discussion was Reagan's Alzheimer's diagnosis. When Reagan died, the buzz was that to expose the truth would be disrespectful to Nancy. Kind, but misguided people, have allowed Republicans to get away with their crimes out of a sense of decency that Republicans wouldn't have extended to them.

Until the scab is ripped off the wounds, they're never going to heal correctly.

Until Obama stops blocking investigations and prosecutions into the previous administration(s), our political system and government are never going to be repaired.
