I think independentvoternews” didn’t realize your comment was a snark.

ALL of my comments apply to both Republicans AND Democrats and thier blind worshiping followers.

Why are you bringing up Republicans? Of course, they are subhuman filth. But it is the same old Democratic Party supporting narrative (probably by accident) that we were complaining about. Hey look over there at those Republicans!

But I disagree Republican voters are less corrupt (less cognitive dissonance) than CURRENT Democratic Party stalwarts. Generally, Republicans have despicable beliefs and they support despicable politicians with those beliefs. Democratic voters have “better” principles that are “advertised” in the Democratic Party platform, but these principles are repeatably betrayed by the despicable and corrupt Democratic Party politicians. Thus to be a Democratic Party voter you must support corrupt liars and con men who stealthily fight against your interests.

After the latest betrayals (the final 1000 ton weight that broke the camel’s back) my opinion is now:

“The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat” (both politicians and supporters).

I too am tired of any “Dog Whistle” crap (mostly non-economic social issues) for the purpose of supporting the Democratic Party (Uniparty).

Great takedown.

I really think FDL needs to put up a “Why Obama is an despicable evil con man” Wiki link on the front page before the election. Including all the stuff you just said (with links to old articles, etc.) The problem is the scumbag Democrats will try to push the “amnesia reset button” and try to make all these facts disappear. And what is sickening, is that people may have only vague idea of what really happened and/or forget what happened. The corporate Democratic Party hypnotists (DNC/DLC/Third Way, etc) will try to direct the fleeting attention of the public to new “shiny objects” and new promises and lies. The Republicans will not do this job for us because they are members of the uniparty and they cannot point fingers that lead to the corporate puppet masters.

No “lack of insight” needed, only deliberate Kabuki.
No “lack of commitment” needed, just commitment to their corporate masters.
No “democratic (Party) incompetance” needed, only duplicitous evil.

This is why only imbeciles and morons “believe” in worthless Crapstitutions: the “Rights” are ejected like the cockpit of a fighter aircraft at the first sign of trouble, while the anti-democratic structure and rules that help the %1 retain control keeps going and going like the Energizer Bunny.

If memory serves me, she seems to sow a lot of status quo promoting FUD (Fear Uncertainty Doubt). In in this case, it seems contrary to Jon Walker’s message.

And this was a beaut:

I didn’t bother reading about them bc it would be a waste of time as none of them will come into being in the U.S.

I would think this, but I never say it out loud in a forum, especially in response to a Jon Walker article.

Don’t you know all issues are intricately related to NAZI Germany, Hitler and the holocaust. Germans drank beer, thus if you see beer the fascist state which will be uncannily be an exact replica of Nazi Germany is nigh!

This Jon Walker guy is obviously dangerous and evil. Everybody knows that promoting more democratic government leads to NAZI Germanys and HOLOCAUSTS!!!

But don’t worry, even Jon Walker cannot change the sacred immutable US political system as changing that would be like adding 1 and 1 and getting 3!
No doubt when the Sun expands into a red giant billions of years in the future, the wonders of the US political system will be exactly the same as it is now!

I agree, the clusterf*ck Republican primary shows that the Power That Be/%1/asshole rich are just fine with four more years of the lying Obamination.

Great link. I hate “liberals” or more exactly “fake limousine liberals”. Although this is just term definition war, it seems “liberal” has been stunk up by association with fore mentioned worthless lying hypocritical self-serving DemocRatic Party politicians.

To associate Left/Leftist/Socialist with authoritarian communism sounds like someone is listening to too much Rush and Fox.

Nope, not on issues I now care about (economics). Except, of course, Obama who is supposed to be on the side of the people, lied to and betrayed me while Romney, being a Republican ratbastard, has not (Republicans are expected to represent the rich and screw over the rest).

I may be completely wrong, but I can’t see how Obama can win again. I think he is just going through the motions for his masters. Obama’s has lost a lot of the left flank, centrist independents don’t like him and the Republicans will be out in force. Blacks and other minorities will not turnout at the 2008 levels regardless of the vote percentages. The jackass polsters refuse to release “likely voter” data and even without it Romney and Obama are tied. Democratic voters are dispirited while Republicans are more motivated. Furthermore, I believe the “Bradley Effect” will be a factor in polling as the the first black president turns out to be a lazy lying con man and blacks themselves have shown to be euphoricly delusional. Furthermore, practically every national election lately has been a disaster for Democratic Party politicians.

I predict Romney, Republican Senate, Republican House (or barely Democratic), and, of course, Republican Supreme Court.

Just another apologist for PTB. Trade protectionism ONLY benefits corps unless it is accompanied by policy to develop domestic inds.

Where is your evidence that the PTB or mega-corporations or the Republicans want trade protectionism?

Oh and some “concern trolling” for fucking Walmart shoppers or chinese shit product lovers.

The argument against trade protectionism is that we would get insular and inefficient, etc. The counter to this argument is that we don’t make anything anymore anyway, have unsustainable trade deficit and now chronic huge unemployment.

Trade protectionism IS a policy to keep and develop domestic industries.
