I wish someone would tell the Democratic Party that with a majority in both houses, they can tell the President and the opposition to go get fucked. They may not be able to pass anything, but they can absolutely stop the passage of anything and everything.

Who do these shitheads represent? You cannot tell me that there is a huge groundswell of public sympathy for phone companies.

I hear ya, Boo. Might I suggest you send John Cole an email - Blogger to blogger. I read that bit about Rockefeller this morning and I was totally disgusted. But Rockefeller is one of John Cole's Senators. I'd like to see him get a movement going against Rockefeller, as a constituent.

Meanwhile, I'm calling Harry Reid's offices since I am a constituent. He needs to either drop out as Senate Majority Leader and/or change parties right away.

Oh yeah, looks like AT&T is reporting a damn fine profit for the quarter. Funny how that works.


No Hillary, you were outspent by the people not the Obama campaign.

I am not unreasonable.  I do not demand that the party be as liberal as me--but I have lines I simply will not cross as a conscientious citizen.  I will not take part in a party that allows torture, war crimes, and illegal spying on its citizens.  Period.  The Democrats unambiguously support these things.  Granted, they claim they are against them but have to vote for them because to really stop the abuses they have to appear strong and defeat themselves in the short term so that  in the long term they can vote the way they really believe--or something.  Give me a Republican robot that salutes Bush's torture over these weasels that call themselves Democrats.  At least we know the GOPBot has the courage of his convictions.  

Apart from the Democrats crossing the moral line in the sand . . . they also no longer represent traditional liberal values of fighting for the middle class, working families.  They have thoroughly sold out to their corporate masters.  Even if the Democrats would not have crossed my moral line of torture and illegal spying I would seriously be considering leaving them because they no longer represent my beliefs.  I'm not opposed to compromise--but the Democrats no longer have the core beliefs they once did.  

Apart from the issues--the Democrats have conclusively demonstrated that they are political retards.  The idea that they should run away from their beliefs to get votes is asinine.  They would rather stab us liberals in the eye (e.g. censure Move On, hang Dodd out to dry, etc.) than take on Dick Cheney (impeachment off the table, no censure vote for him, and no investigation of Bush's warrantless spying).  Democrats don't even have the ability, ne, courage, to fight for their beliefs anymore.

The Democratic party is indeed dead.  It served a useful and just purpose at one point in time.

We better start thinking about the future and how liberals should organize politcally.  A good first step is accepting the fact that the Democratic party only stands in the way and does not help--In other words is dead.  I'm glad to see we're starting that necessary process.

They couldn't care less.
Everything else I could say seems trite.  It's a sad day.

If you are near a TV and have cable or satellite service, keep it tuned to C-Span2 today. This seems to be the topic of the day in the Senate.

Notice how few are even there. All those empty desks. Continuous speakers, but empty desks.

I could point out that the same oligarchy, the Rockefellers et al, were doing similar things back into the 19th Century. That with every advance for the working class, either in politics or in the marketplace, the heavy hand of the wealthy has come down hard on its lessers.

So in some ways this is no different. Except that the oligarchy needs greater tools to control the masses. And this is going to be a ghastly world. We don't know how bad it already is except for the occasional case that pops up.

The War on Terror will merge with the War on Drugs and the War on Pornography and the War on Impure Thinking. And the Rockefellers will never be affected unless one becomes a class traitor.

Beware what you dream.

Rockefeller Admitted Elite Goal Of Microchipped Population

Hollywood director and documentary film maker Aaron Russo has gone in-depth on the astounding admissions of Nick Rockefeller, who personally told him that the elite's ultimate goal was to create a microchipped population and that the war on terror was a hoax, Rockefeller having predicted an "event" that would trigger the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan eleven months before 9/11.

Rockefeller also told Russo that his family's foundation had created and bankrolled the women's liberation movement in order to destroy the family and that population reduction was a fundamental aim of the global elite.

Russo is perhaps best known for producing Trading Places starring Eddie Murphy but was more recently in the spotlight for his exposé of the criminal run for profit federal reserve system, the documentary America From Freedom to Fascism.

Currently undergoing more treatment in his fight against cancer, Russo made time for a sit down interview with radio host and fellow documentary film maker Alex Jones in which he dropped bombshell after bombshell on what Rockefeller had told him about the direction the world was being steered towards by the global elite.

You can watch a fourteen minute segment of the interview below.

I can now see why everyone wants to ban talk of 9/11 theories.

The Israeli settlements doubled on Clinton's watch. But Hillary DID get her New York City senate seat. ...and now I will nuke Iran for you!

If you're a rich man, you vote for the Republican.
If you're a poor man, you vote for the Democrat.

Simple, isn't it? But Edwards is losing. Reaganism is alive and well. "Me" remains the pronoun of the day. The Republicans, out of style or not, are still winning. And Democrats are now helping them retain control.

It's a rich man's country.  Get used to it.
