pundaint commented on the blog post Late Night FDL: Bad Policies Make Bad Politics
Last 8 presidents 5 – Republican 3- Democrat.
One direction: increasingly tilt the balance of public spending toward military activity. Increasingly unfetter Corporations to exert ownership rights over American citizens. Widening of the asset gap between producers and owners. Shifting the beneficiaries of government spending from citizens to ledger-book entities. Increasing government secrecy. Increasingly Imperial President.
We switched to Republicans things got worse, we switched to Democrats things got worse, we switched back and forth and things got worse.
THE LESSON: When Democrats or Republicans are in charge things get worse. The Solution is not in Democrats or Republicans, they both have sold the People out.
My solution is to support Jill Stein too, join me, or find your own, but it’s not with the Dempublicans.

When you follow the money on even the programs his apologists misconstrue as wins, the rich still get the larger portion [...]

The OWS movement exists because the Democratic Party has abandoned its reason to exist. There should now be 3 parties: TEA, Democratic-Republican (there’s no reason to deny the merger any longer), and the People’s Party.

pundaint commented on the blog post Obama Punts Keystone Pipeline Decision Until After 2012 Election
Every corporatist thing Obama has done has been defended by his chorus as “well he never said specifically.” Those of us who are not aggressively stupid know this means he’s going to approve the project but doesn’t want incur the electoral cost of serving corporations over people.
If you believe Obama has been forced into any of his policy decisions, you are just not paying attention.

The sooner we open our eyes to the real Obama, the sooner we can start working for his replacement.
Obama might not be one of the bat-$#!t Republicans, but his actions make him at least a ’90′s Republican.

For John Ky to discuss mental instability less than a month after opposing START shows a stunning lack of self-awareness.

Bin Laden is smarter than the US Armed Forces and two administrations combined. He understood his enemy, their objectives, and weaknesses.
We can’t afford to continue our Big Dumb War Machine in it’s present mission any longer.
