So not surprising that spin doctors like Gerald have to resort to name calling and intent to appear better or more holy. What a croc. Yay for the possibility that people are starting to wake up about what it means to be a RepupliCON in this time period. Rather, how they are bought and paid for and how they only know how to throw insults when they are confronted about how they are really not fiscally conservative. They are just CONS.
Americans are slow learners I guess. Republicans sold out to Corporate America years ago and have no where else to go. Corporate America wants to keep their play pen given to them by REpublicans in which they write their own laws, are unregulated, and suffer few consequences when caught not following the rules. They are not going to give us up easily. They have bought three Supreme Court Justices and most of the Republicans in the Senate and House. Unregulation of Wall Street nearly led to the Second Great Depression. Unregulation of the oil industry caused the worst oil spill in our history in the Gulf of Mexico. Republicans are cutting taxes for business in most states and firing teachers, firemen, and policemen to pay for it. In Georgia they are trying to pass a law making a miscarriage manslaughter. Florida is on a path to privitize their prison system to reward donors. Texas rewrote their history books to remove all reference to slavery. Rand Paul believes the people in Kentucky have the right to refuse service to people of color. Just maybe the average American is starting to wake up and get the message. What's good for business in not good for Americans especially if it involves exporting 8 milion jobs. Just maybe they are starting to understand they have been played for fools and are beginning to comrehend that there is only one clear path to any secure for their family and it does not rest with Republicans.
Congradulations to Kathy Hochul and all of the sane people who voted for her! Even Rove's treachery did not sway enough voters into forgetting Ryan's - work til you die - budget proposal.
I live next door to Hochul's district, in the NY-24th and have R- Richard Hanna as my un-representative. I inform everyone I can that on April 15th, 235 repubicans sold their souls to the greedy ambitions of a few like the Kochs, potentially at the expense of 99% of us. It's all on record baby! 189 democrats voted NOOOO! How much more clear can it get, vote republican-vote against your own best interest.
All of the folks I talk to agree Hanna must go, so I would surmise this is the case all around the country- the Democrats will soon have a super majority in the House!
Hello folks, can anyone help me find a pdf from the WTO website or anywhere else to see this ruling on making labeling of dolphin free tuna illegal? I went to the WTO website and searched for the new labeling of tuna that Thom mentioned and did not find any info. Please leave a message in the contact at my website www.truthgum.com. Thanks to all that look into this matter. These two links was the best I found: www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/dda_e/symp03_larson_e.pdf dated 2003 or this link from 2005 www.wto.org/english/forums_e/ngo_e/posp47_nftc_enlightened_exsum_e.pdf .
Leo Tolstoy wrote that there were three characteristics of all forms of prophecy: “First, it is entirely opposed to the general ideas of the people in the midst of whom it is uttered; second, all who hear it feel its truth; and thirdly, above all, it urges men to realize what it foretells.”
Prophets put forward during their day ideas that the mass of people, including the elite, denounce as impractical and yet at the same time sense to be true. This is what invokes the rage against the prophet. He or she states the obvious in a society where the obvious is seditious. Prophecy is feared because of the consequences of the truth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxrWwdi_foQ&feature=related
To accept that Obama is, as Cornell West said, a mascot for Wall Street means having to challenge some frightening monoliths of power and give up the comfortable illusion that the Democratic Party or liberal institutions can be instruments for genuine reform.
It means having to step outside the mainstream. It means a new radicalism. It means recognizing that there is no hope for a correction or a reversal within the formal systems of power. It means defying traditional systems of power. And liberals, who have become courtiers to the corporate state, attempt to silence all those who condemn the ruthlessness and mendacity of these systems of destruction. Their denunciation of all who rebel is a matter of self-preservation. For once the callous heart of the corporate state is exposed, so is the callous heart of the liberal class. - Chris Hedges http://www.truthdig.com/report/print/why_prophets_like_cornel_west_make_liberal_sell-outs_attack_20110523/
This is unbelievably heartbreaking -- we must go to the mat to prevent the return of the hideous sight of dolphins trapped and drowning. If anyone is aware of a focused campaign to fix this problem, please post.
Robert Scheer, Matt Taibbi, Chris Hedges, Cornell West, Bill Moyers. All of the current great progressive minds agree: Without Movements, we have nothing. In other words, Resistance is the only way that we can begin to have "HOPE." FDR and MLK were nothing without the resistance movements supporting them. That is what we need the most these days. So, how do we get there?
Obama has shown his true colours and he Is The Status Quo. To place blind faith in Electoral Politics is how we got here in the first place. If you are afraid that people won't turn out to vote in 2012, you don't have to worry about that. What other choice do we have?
One should assume that everyone will vote democratic, and spend time promoting and aiding in the organization of various movements. I want to "get out there and get active," but I don't know where to start? I want something other than a Drinking Liberally or my local DLC chapter. I want to be part of a movement. Something that is bigger than just me.
'U.S. Politics is just a Reality Show Sponsored by Wall Street' http://www.commondreams.org/video/2011/05/20-0 "When the reality is that both parties are only superficially different, and on the serious issues they are exactly the same." – Matt Taibbi
Dan, Hi. You are way too uptight! Take a day off -- a month off and chill. If most workers ever dared try to "negotiate" a contract with their employers in which the worker could take a month off or six weeks off they would be given the year off permanently. As a matter of fact, the way most big corps structure things now, you can't even be told which days off you will get, or what hours you will working next month, as the corp retains the right to schedule you as they see fit, week to week. Some even keep you "ON CALL" ---UNPAID---! Take a vacation Dan.
Earlier this month, 44 Republican Senators pledged to filibuster the nomination of anyone to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau unless the agency itself is significantly weakened.
This threat makes it much more likely that President Obama will have to use his constitutional authority to make a recess appointment to fill the top slot at the agency. A number of great progressive groups and leading academics have signed a letter to President Obama supporting a recess appointment. And now I've signed it too.
I truly hope that this election cycle of 2012 reveals the true intentions of the industrialists and the Republican Congress. Any citizen with an Internet connection and a television and a passing interest in next year's elections should be able to make a prudent decision. Take Tim Pawlenty testifies for campaign reasons I have four two-year budgets and I balance them all, but in truth left with a crumbling infrastructure with $5.1 billion in debt. Newt Gingrich revels in the job creation of Texas, but does not bother with the history of that state and is labor movement and how they used illegal immigration cheating working people of a living wage and cheating the federal government social security tax and federal income tax to offer ultra-sweet deals for Fortune 500 corporations. You see, Texas has more Fortune 500 corporations,than any state in the union. They did not show up because they like the weather there,they are there to make a profit. And that is all well and good if nobody got cheated. But the American taxpayer as a whole got cheated because Texas did not play fair. So Newt Gingrich, I am sure you are rewriting history today, as you have every day in the past 20 years. Because the truth just does not suit you. And I would be amiss if I did not relate how a high school student shakes the foundation of Congresswomen. There is hope for America and the 2012 elections. If we take stock in ourselves. God bless America and Texas to. Let us level the playing field.basis in truth!
I am truly amazed as to how shallow the Democrats are. A win here and a win there and they are preaching that Satan’s disciples are changing. Let me state it here and please you must never forget – ONE SWALLOW DOES NOT MAKE A SPRING!!! That is correct! ONE SWALLOW DOES NOT MAKE A SPRING!!! You have heard the saying – the more things change, the more they remain the same!!! No one can change the stripes on a zebra and no one can change the stripes on Satan’s disciples. SATAN’S DISCIPLES WILL NEVER CHANGE AND RETURN TO GOD, THE FATHER!!!

Earlier this month, 44 Republican Senators pledged to filibuster the nomination of anyone to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau unless the agency itself is significantly weakened.
