    We desperately need LEADERS in this country, know any?

    and, this seems to be a repeat of 2008. During ObamaCon-Man fund raising events, he is again preaching “Left” leaning positions, to once again play people (for fools). I hope people are catching on.

    azel commented on the blog post Why We Need an Industrial Policy

    2011-02-28 19:27:28View | Delete

    Any high school kid knows you don’t create real wealth in a finance economy, but only in an industrial-manufacturing economy. Finance and manufacturing are mutually exclusive. The Dims won’t allow wide spread manufacturing because Wall Street doesn’t want it, Wall Street would be cutting its’ own throat. The poverty that started in the Great Lakes (manufacturing) region years ago is now rippling out to the other states. When the Great Lakes Region stops being the Rust Belt and actually starts growing (significantly), we will see the rest of the U.S. economy come back. This could take decades, if ever.

    Third Party, not a primary challenge, the Dim hierarchy won’t allow it. If MSNBC, The Nation Magazine, Firedoglake weren’t shills for the Dim Party, they’d be out using their connections networking for a Third Party candidate!

    The protester’s should be carrying signs that read “Third Party Now.”

    2011-01-14 20:11:11View | Delete

    A challenger has to be an Independent or a Third Party. Anyone remotely associated with the Democratic half of the Demopub Party will still be aligned with them, albeit in secret (think Obama).

    2011-01-08 01:45:20View | Delete

    Hopefully people are catching on to the fact that there is one political party that sets itself up into two opposing groups to fool the American people, to make American politics into a sporting event. I think the increased % of Independents bears that out. The problem is, there are no great leaders in this country stepping up to lead, and replace the DemoPub Party.

    The unemployment rate dropped because “the % of people calculated as being in the workforce has dropped” per Bureau of Labor (statistics)

    It was widely written two years ago that ObamaCon-Man was either a fool or a fraud. We should concentrate our efforts on finding a replacement.

    This is a trumpted up PR stunt by the White House to once again fool the gullible Liberals into thinking Obama is against the banks, wake up.

    2010-12-27 22:17:39View | Delete

    Yep, the recent repeal of DADT and similar legislation is just window dressing. The past two years haven’t seen a thing happen in Congress that would change the fundamental problem that exists, the (unequal) distribution of wealth, reinforced by fake health care reform, fake economic reform, etc., etc..

    2010-12-27 19:49:01View | Delete

    This must be a young audience, A Christmas Story (filmed in Cleveland) was exactly how it was here in Cleveland, and the Midwest until about 1965, I would estimate. I don’t think peopel realize what we have lost in this country…

    2010-12-21 12:45:49View | Delete

    In response to solerso @76

    “someone needs to construct a good takedown of the “car insurance” analogy”

    Doctors have an accounts receivable office already set up to receive specific payment for services. Would-be accident victims don’t… how would you handle that????? that’s why car insurance is completely differernt.

    As I expressed to my representatives, Kucinich and Brown, a mandate would make sense and be “acceptable” only if a non-profit environment was present. But since the Democratic Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wall Street, I/we know how they voted. “Liberals” need to get a brain and stop blindly, shilling for a corrupt Party.
