30. amazing, isn't it ???
what kills me is how many people get suckered into believing that the GOP is serving even their selfish economic interests ... why can't more people see that powerful, greedy corporations and their largest shareholders are manipulating our government to serve themselves?

and this can't continue much longer, either ... with massive deficits and a lack of economic planning, it's only a matter of time until the "recovery bandaids" become unable to cover the wounds that have been inflicted ...

I keep trying to encourage Democrats to respond to this urgent call ... our country is in desperate shape ... the times call for bold, heroic measures and as you've said, real leadership ... some think i'm attacking Democrats when i criticize them for not showing some political courage and taking on the entrenched corporate powers ... i'm not attacking them; i'm trying to wake them up ... we NEED their help ...

and i understand your views on people and their naive love for Walmart ... it's really sick ... a recent cartoon video I saw showed how today's Walmart customers will become tomorrow's Walmart floor sweepers ... American's aren't stupid; they just haven't been told the truth about the risks that face our economy ... if they understood the impact of their actions, perhaps they would make different choices ... it's our job as political activists to teach our elected leaders and the American people about the risks we face as a country and what changes in policy are needed to make things better ...
