This could be the one thing that actually motivates me to buy a smartphone (except for, as mentioned above, the phone itself being something I shouldn’t buy for reasons of conscience and outrage — but maybe it’d be for the greater good).

It’s obvious, isn’t it?
It almost (but not quite) makes me feel like voting for the “republican” wing of the CMP* for the first time ever.

*Corporate Money Party

And that’s why Bush was appointed and not Gore. And the idea that Nader “stole” votes from Gore is total BS. If Nader voters “would have” voted for Gore, why didn’t they? And what gives you the right to assume they “would have,” anyway? I voted for Nader, by the way, and I would have [...]

Not sure what you were looking at because the countdown clock is still there, at http://www.jillstein.org/funding , now showing 9 hrs, 40 min, etc., which does end up at midnight in Wisconsin. It does load more slowly than the rest of the page, so maybe your page hadn’t fully loaded. Anyway, I’m on pins and [...]

Spot on — take the ACA and shove it!

I’m soooo happy I’m now going to be taxed to ensure the 7- and 8-figure bonuses of CEO freeloaders and parasites who don’t pay taxes themselves but do everything they can to make sure that “health care” for you and me is as cheap for them as possible while overburdening practitioners with onerous paperwork and [...]

Well, I certainly don’t want that POS to be reelected, and I’M NO TEABAGGER, and neither is BP. That #%(* POS in the WH is just an Idi Amin wannabe, issuing “executive orders” that give him the right to act as sole judge, jury, and executioner of anyone he doesn’t like (first calling them “terrorists” [...]

Still a little more than 21 hours to make the deadline for federal matching funds.
A countdown clock can be seen at http://www.jillstein.org/funding
I wish the contributions were updated in real time.

I don’t think you’re crazy at all; as a single, older female homesteader in a fairly conservative, unprosperous, and not well-educated rural area, I’ve been thinking about it for a while now. Not exactly for the reason you describe, which I find myself now sitting up and taking notice, but because of my sense of [...]

Don’t make me laugh; my lips are chapped.
“Drivel” is an apt description but a little too polite.

Thanks, jest — I live in one of those critical states and am on my way now to make a donation.

It was a highly manipulated, stage-crafted side show to entertain the masses. If you remember, Jon Edwards placed 2nd in Iowa, the first primary/caucus of the 2008 season, but he wasn’t even mentioned in the news propaganda. Instead, all the commentary was about barry and hillary, who came in 3rd. I knew after that it was [...]

TV makes people stupid, even otherwise intelligent people, filling their heads with noisy advertising gimmicks and jingles, subliminal and otherwise, and sheer idiocy. Hard to believe that people willingly pay for propaganda and advertising to be streamed into their homes. People should be paid to watch such worthless and even mentally harmful crap, and the TVs [...]

If this is “sarcasm,” I hope the writer does not quit her day job.

The Kochroach brothers are already calling the shots, including support of “democrats” like Obama. They’ve been funding the DLC (or whatever that organization of traitors calls itself now) for a long time now, and I don’t believe there’s been legislation since Obama took office that DIDN’T benefit them and their ilk somehow. And let’s not [...]

It looks like the obots are piling on, more and more desperate in their arguments. I challenge any of the obot brown shirts to name ONE great idea he’s had while in office to promote the welfare and quality of life of Americans, or ONE bill he’s truly fought for that would improve Americans’ economic [...]

I have no delusion that Jill Stein will “win,” because I know only too well the power of the corrupt, corporate-controlled brainwashing media to influence the outcome of “elections” (with ironic quotes because everybody now knows that our “elections” are no more free and fair than those in Iran), and if the outcome isn’t what [...]

I’m just gonna be rude and say this is probably the dumbest OP I’ve ever read on Firedoglake. The “rationale” for voting for the corporate toady and soulless murderer is so thin it doesn’t even register, much less make sense. Ooooh, he screwed us over big time, but some rabid, misinformed teabaggers oppose him for [...]
