I knew Obama was a setup con job from day one. However, I broke tradition and didn’t vote Green Party, giving Obama my vote for one reason: Even though he was going to continue to push the neocon agenda, it would drive the right wing crazies nuts to have a black man president. So at [...]

How many years until the corporatists have infiltrated this new watchdog and replaced its investigators with its own cronies who will also look the other way?

He’s like Mikael Blomqvist in The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo.

Reminds me of a real-life Mikael Blomqvist ala The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo.

I wish Democracy Now could afford him. He’d be great on FSTV.

is the kind of liberal policy that matters a whole heck of a lot more than repealing the law they, themselves passed 16 years ago allowing the military to discriminate against gay people As Malcolm X said: “You don’t stick a knife into a man’s back nine inches, pull it out six inches, and call it [...]

They won’t reassess their business model. You have to understand that they are simply representing the corporatists. If by reassessing their business model, you mean throwing us a bone now and then, don’t delude yourself. It aint gonna happen. Instead, we should focus our energies on reclaiming the Democratic Party from within. That means replacing [...]

But Orange Satan used to get many more visits a day and FDL used to get lots less. So the tide is slowly turning. I remember how DKos got started and we need to emulate that success. They would have bloggers on popular blogsites link to their stories. They’d post a “So and so nailed [...]

Sign a petition. How typically weak. Sorry, but that’s part of the means they use to obfuscate the progressive movement. Instead of getting off our asses and getting progressives actually elected. Instead of taking back the Democratic Party from the inside. We sign these fucking useless petitions. Really. What is that petition going to do [...]

Hell, even Assange is being vilified by the Teatards on the grounds he’s a CIA agent and is backed by Soros.

It’s all fantasy bullshit with them.

Not trying to nitpick but…this: 1. Elizabeth Warren 2. Russ Feingold 4. Howard Dean 4. Richard Trumka 5. Alan Grayson/Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (tie) 6. Cynthia McKinney 7. Al Franken 8. Paul Krugman 9. Dennis Kucinich Should be read as this: 1. Elizabeth Warren 2. Russ Feingold 4. Howard Dean 4. Richard Trumka 5. Alan [...]

Tell me this got posted over at Orange Satan.

God I’d love to drop into the comments section of THAT diary!!!

Oh, and for costumes, Union Soldiers. We’re fighting to stop slavery.

A cannon. We need a cannon we can fire. Gather outside the White House and fire blank Cannon shots at it as fast as we can while screaming like loonies. Then get our 10 second sound byte in front of the camera.

Hey, crap like that works for them.

First off, that’s a Gallup poll. Why the hell would you believe that bullshit? Secondly, remember that poll where people actually voted on the issues and then the poll matched those issues up with the candidate who most supported them? Millions of Americans took that poll. Even my redneck family members had taken that poll [...]

I wish people would link to anywhere else besides Amazon. That place should be boycotted permanently for what they did to Wikileaks.

I see one obvious course of action, but it never even gets a response. That course is to start raising money. We need to get challengers, not just for Obama, but for the Blue Dog seats that turned Republican last cycle. Those voters didn’t want Repugs, they stayed home because they didn’t want Blue Dog [...]

Okay, speaking for my grandmother, who lived under FDR: He was the greatest president who ever lived, and that said, she never forgave him for the internment camps. She lost a good friend in one of those. Unforgivable. LBJ was a Texas oilman. He was no progressive and I can’t imagine anyone around here who [...]

Lol! I sat up and was like WHAT? Liz Warren DIED!? Then I realized the mistake.

You trying to kill ME there Mike lol?!?

Because Gravel ran and lost. Plain and simple. But for more reasons not to run with Gravel, he comes across as the nutjob. It’s easy for the media to paint him as such. He’s funny as hell and I love him, but he’ll have ZERO chance to win. We can’t afford to do this just [...]
