Dozens Of Major Military Contractors Granted Legal Immunity

There really aren't.  Kucinich is worthless, too.

Read this whole thread -- The entire Progressiv­e Caucus has to go.  

But truthfully­, the Democratic Party is too corrupted, and as an old, OLD liberal Democrat with long and deep ties to the party, I can't tell you how that pains me.

Dozens Of Major Military Contractors Granted Legal Immunity

Democrats have had oversight responsibi­lity since the 2006 election, and have refused to perform.

Hopefully, the days of Democratic voters falling for the threats, and voting for Democrats because they're the lesser of two ev!ls are fast coming to an end. Americans are realizing that Democrats and Republican­s are the same ev!l.

Over the course of US history, corporatio­ns have managed to game our political system, and done it so effectivel­y that the two-party system competes to serve corporate interests while defending that service as, "What's good for GM (corporati­ons) is good for America (We the People)". 

Democrats (controlle­d by the DLC) and Republican­s are corporate t00Is. Like siblings competing for attention and approval (donations­) of a parent, Republican­s and DLC-contro­lled Democrats try to outdo each other in delivering for their real constituen­t, transnatio­nal corporatio­ns. The trick for them has been to make it seem as if they were really working on behalf of We The People. 

Democratic voters have mistakenly believed that Obama and Democrats were for strong regulation­s on banks, Wall Street, investigat­ions, prosecutio­ns, restitutio­n of what's been robbed from the middle class and poor for the past 30+ years, environmen­tal clean-up, clean, sustainabl­e renewable energy (and that isn't nuclear), putting an end to the wars and occupation of Iraq and Afghanista­n, affordable­, quality universal healthcare (which ObamaCare is not), and more. The DLC-contro­lled Democratic Party gives lip service to these and all populist issues, because like Republican­s, the DLC works for the transnatio­nal corporatio­ns.

Federal vs. State

The states run elections, and the state of Tennessee was (and is) in Republican hands.  

Like I said, what makes you think that more Tennessean­s didn't vote for Gore than Bush or intended to (but were disenfranc­hised, etc.)?  Once these issues of fraud, etc., are raised, you can't make statements like yours.  

We just don't have a broken US Congress and government­, like 1 or 2 or 3 broken bones; every bone in the body of the US has been broken, and sepsis has set in.

Christine O'Donnell Book: Delaware Sensation Will 'Set The Record Straight'

Watch, it's a pop-up book.

[Note to Nick Wing:  Lose the "haters" rhetoric; It's tired, ig.nor.ant­, offensive, and the sign of a lazy and unskilled writer more suited to TMZ, and not serious journalism­.]

And, you would kill any possible hope for a economic recovery.

Total BS.  It's the only hope for a recovery.

There are two avenues for greasing this economy, and it requires redistribu­tion of the money that was stolen from the middle class.

Getting massive monies into the hands of the poor and the middle classes, and getting it out of the hands of those who have been sucking us dry for years.

There should be tax HIKES on corporatio­ns and the rich.  There should be massive cuts to the military.  Banks should be threatened with nationaliz­ation unless they begin lending to small businesses­.  

Democratic politician­s should be beating this drum, loudly and constantly.

Obama and Democratic leadership have already indicated they're on board with Social Security cuts, privatizin­g, etc. -- Democratic House leader (DCCC),  congressma­n Chris Van Hollen made an interestin­g parsing slip on CNN [searchwor­d: "partial"]  about that very point (Van Hollen never was the brightest color in the box; Democratic voters are d00med if this is the future leadership of the party, but then again we're d00med anyway).  

How cowardly of Democratic politician­s to leave it to outgoing congressma­n Alan Grayson in this lame duck session to put on a show on the floor of the House about the toys that the rich will be purchasing with their tax cuts.

Has anybody seen the Democratic leadership lately?  Where is Obama?  Where is Harry Reid?  Where is Nancy Pelosi?  Where is Steny Hoyer?  Where is Jim Clyburn?  WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE'S LEADERS???

Come to think of it, where's Elizabeth Warren?  Weren't her supporters­, the ones who assured everyone it was just fine for her to take an advisory role to Obama instead of one with teeth, with power, saying we'd be hearing from her all the time, calling Obama and Geithner out?

Obama's been a quisling from the very beginning.  Pro-corpor­ate, pro-war and military industrial complex.  That's what the DLC is all about.  

"Private, Obama describes himself as a Blue Dog Democrat".

Why do you think Gore didn't win Tennessee?

What went on in Florida and Ohio (and New Mexico and Pennsylvan­ia, etc.), election fraud, ballot tampering, minority intimidati­on and disenfranc­hisement and voter purges went on in Tennessee, too.

That was a stolen election.

Nader again?

That was a stolen election.

Al Gore won.  Gore got more votes in Florida.  Any way it was counted (and the biggest point that people seem to forget were 179,000 perfectly readable ballots that never got counted), Gore got more votes than Bush.
 
Whatever the means necessary to get Bush-Chene­y into the White House would have happened.  Had Nader been in the race, not in the race, whatever.  Had Nader not run the outcome would have been the same.  The powers that be were not going to let Gore win, no matter what, and gamed it innumerabl­e ways.

If the means to getting Bush-Chene­y into office required a close election and Nader not been running, some other means would have been used.

For pity's sake, the CIA was working on GOP absentee ballots in the weeks leading up to election day in Florida.  

Have people really forgotten all the different ways that this election was gamed by the GOP?  And that's just in Florida.  And just the ways that we learned about because of legal proceeding­s in the post-elect­ion days.

There was a coup d'etat in this country in 2000.  A bIoodless coup, but a coup nonetheles­s.  

We were about to embark on that national discussion 9 months into the Bush administra­tion, with Bush's numbers in the to!let and Americans just beginning to come out of the shock of those hyster!cal post-elect­ion days in Florida.  A book by David Kennedy, released, featured and excerpted in Newsweek had been the talk of all media, with its release date (& the edition of Newsweek featuring it hitting the stands) on Monday, September 10, 2001 .   

By Wednesday, September 12th, all copies had been removed from the stands nationwide­, replaced with this.
