Democrats SELLOUT

Democrats are WORSE then the Republicans, they could have easily stopped immunity.  Instead they used legal ease to create a back door and they talk about how much "better" this SELLOUT bill is to simply granting immunity flat out.

The Democrats are WORSE than the Republicans.  They get into office and then SELL US OUT.

WAKE UP AMERICA - THEY ARE ALL CORPORATE INSIDERS.

Corporations IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII  People 0

We need a Real Democracy, and the corporations have to leave lose their seat in our government permanently.

doesn't it just blink you

Harriet Meirs wrote a great book on revolution... ours.  What's so amazing about her revelations is the attitude of the public.  They simply did NOT put up with this bullshit.  They literally tarred and feathered those public officials who pulled stunts that were not in the public interest.

The US is mesmerized, asleep, distracted... whatever.  I'm amazed at how meaningful the Matrix films have become over time... the vast majority is unconscious instead of outraged.

"it" does a lot of things

Asleep, mesmerized, commotose, dead above the neck. Numb? As in "This can't be happening?"

I wake up every morning, hoping that either everyone else will have awakened while I was asleep (they haven't) or else I will blink and it will all be different (it never is).

Tar and feathers: good except that tar is petroleum based. Ringing necks (Mr.M): good for relieving frustration but incurs burial costs.

We don't need no stinking "conventions": we need some un-conventions. Denver and St.Paul will be back-slapping beer busts.  Nothing good will come from either.

We can take to the streets but most of them are just crumbling infrastructure.

I have to go paint my "The End is Near" sign, now.

The Political Conventions this Summer...

The party conventions (in Denver & St. Paul) will offer everyone a chance to come together and voice their disapproval of the 2-party sellouts. Poetry and blogs are fine to express dissent, but taking to the streets is better.

streets

I have always been quite comfortable en la calle. I recollect a convention some time ago where we were quite unwelcome. The swinelings get very angry whenyou crash their party. Mayor Daily senior created a police riot and beat the crap outof a lot of people. The revisionist history treats that confrontation as if the demonstrators attacked the convention. If we take to the streets we had better be well organized and have our own convention.

For the past 3 days

military exercises for "domestic terrorism" have been going on in Denver, black helicopters with no markings, soldiers with black uniforms with no insignias and automatic weapons have been landing on top of buildings and dropping fake grenades on the public.

This is all a set-up to push people over the edge. By the time these conventions start this country will be in such turmoil that inciting riots will be child's play and these fascists will have the excuse they need to use all these neat little crowd control toys to cower the people, arrest thousands of dissenters, or "enemy combatants", and place them in FEMA camps where they can't vote, or do anything else for that matter. I can see another Kent State on steroids. Perhaps 50 or more people murdered by fascist military under the cloak of "keeping order", should be more than enough to cower the people into submission.

If you think this alarmist or extreme, think 9/11 and genocide that they've already committed, killing a few more to further their evil agenda is nothing.

And not that it matters if we should vote anyway for either major party, they're both, save for a very small minority, corrupt to the core. They're both working in conjunction for their corporate masters to enslave us, and it seems to be working rather well.

There is no other way to see this. For democrats to continually say one thing and do another, one has to only imagine that they don't even blink when they are told what they have to do next by their string-pullers. What control they must have to get in front of cameras and say the things they say without cracking-up. They have no shame or conscience whatsoever.

I don't know what the answer is. I don't know if there is one. This country is so deluded, dumb and fragmented, these bastards have done such a great job of dividing us and keeping us from being a unified force that I just can't see enough people coming together to overthrow the fascism they have created.

If indeed what I suspect comes to pass, that they use provocation of riots that will ensue to further clamp-down it will truly be the hard-line beginning of the end.

It might take a few days for this total capitulation of democrats to sink in. Even every ones Knight-in-shinning-armor has turned into a Black-Knight, it didn't take long, one week after securing the nomination Obama stuck the knife in deep into all those that were foolish enough to "believe" in that so-called "change" he was bringing.

Things are going to get progressively ugly from here on out. There will be a total collapse of our economy, I suspect right after this farce on an election, but count on massive unrest leading-up to it and a continuing tightening of the fascist noose.

Arrest are already way up on activists, police brutality is rising at an alarming rate unabated, and unpunished calls for the out-right murder of dissidents are now becoming common-place. As more and more people are becoming aware that 9/11 was an inside job the fascists are becoming more desperate before a critical mass of people become aware.

I've never hoped to be so wrong in my life, but it's hard to deny what one sees if they have their eyes opened to the reality before them. I do not advocate violence upon anyone, but these bottom-feeding, scum-bags make it real hard not to want to ring their slim-ball necks if one had the chance.

clamp down

     I can see many scenarios happening. Most of them aren't good. It well take time for people to see what they don't want to see. It is certainly not the genius of these guys that have created this mess. People have been pretty comfortable. economically. If the people get uincomfortable and see blood in the streets an mass arrests that is when the character of the American people will show up in spades. Blackwater will not be enough if the people are united. Those blackshirt neos might not be so comfortable killing their own. I too am scared to death. Unfortunately I am a patriot and have stockpiled haibut to throw at them.

Halibut?

I got more than that to throw.

What I just can't understand is that the country was ready to give the Democrats a hundred-year majority if they only did a LITTLE of what they said they would do. And they pissed it all away.

Pigs slop at our trough

But, we keep on feeding them!  It's We the People who are 'hiring' these malfeasant nitwits.  We pay their wages, health care and expenses, they in return sell us down the river.  Like the song says, when will we ever learn.

Suckers

Crooks rule.  Suckers compromise because they have faith that they can win the crooks game.  Lazy cowards are too paralized by fear and anger to even put up a fight.

Vote Nader.

Let's stop

doing the same things-voting for these morons. We see from 2006 what we got in exchange for our votes for their promises.

Instead of continuing to do the same thing and expect a different outcome, let's surprise them and vote for candidates from third parties.

Vote Green.
