bluevistas commented on the blog post Democrats Still “Myth-Busting,” Proudly Boasting About Spending Cuts
It’s very sad when supposed Democrats tout Republican talking points as if they’re proud of what they’re doing. Spineless.

Dear Jane and Katie,

bluevistas commented on the blog post Eric Griego, House Candidate in New Mexico, Wants Corrupt Bankers to Go to Jail
Actually, in spite of the change in Democratic values in Congress and in the Administration, Griego appears to be the real deal(old Democratic values–an actual progressive). I’ve been watching him for years and he is consistent. Many progressives are eager to vote for him. Probably on the local level some progressives are still surviving and thriving.

very sad that Obama didn’t make his “momentous” statement until after the NC vote. Interesting, no?

bluevistas commented on the blog post Despite Marriage Equality Shift, Obama Still Won’t Sign LGBT Anti-Discrimination Executive Order
Relatively speaking, it’s easy for Obama to verbalize something. It’s the doing (executive order ending ENDA etc) that would actually show his values. He seems unwilling/unable to act on values.

bluevistas commented on the diary post Jill Stein or Rocky Anderson? by Quasit.
So many people seem to find Johnson appealing. And I can tell you from living in NM during the whole time he was governor, I would never ever vote for him. He privatized Medicaid (called Salud here) and cut benefits and shipped management to out of state corporations. And that’s what he wanted to do [...]

bluevistas commented on the diary post Torture on Trial by David Swanson.
I hardly recognize our “Constitutional professor” of a President, nor the values and actions of our country these days.
This despair, is it what it is like to feel as the country’s implosion nears?

bluevistas commented on the blog post The Real Health Cost Issue Is that We Simply Pay Too Much for Health Services
Insurance corporations add no value to care. They take 30% off the top of premiums. It’s time to get them out of the equation.

It’s far simpler to “disagree” than to empathize and fix.

how about “profit-taking”, (the 30% of the top) is a huge problem.

bluevistas commented on the blog post Administration Continues Election-Year Push on Buffett Rule
Obama plays both sides of issues. He seems to me to have nearly no integrity and it shows in his policies and proposals. He will never have my support again. I will vote Green.

bluevistas commented on the diary post Green Party Update by wbgonne.
thanks wbgonne. I will be voting for Jill Stein as the Green Party easily got on my state’s ballot with signatures to spare! :)
People definitely want a real progressive on the ballot like Jill Stein.

bluevistas commented on the diary post Call AARP: Stop the E Street Exchange! by Brian Sonenstein.
Never forget that AARP is essentially an insurance corporation that masquerades as a advocacy group for older people. They will promote whatever helps their bottom line, not what is best for older people.

bluevistas commented on the blog post And the ‘Terrorists Might Use Drones’ Myth Was Born
considering all the imagination and funds that go into creating war machines, it astounds me that so little imagination and funding goes to non-violent means of getting along with each other.
The paradigm shift is a ways off. Too bad for those of us still living!
