stop electing corporate hacks people.

[27inCali]

I know that there are some of you out there living in red country that can't do much, I don't mean to blast you. I'm talking about the responsibility on the shoulders of voters in Connecticut and Maine right now for having empowered Lieberman, Snowe and Collins to deny us healthcare -Let's not Forget Baye either. Other places as well -I'm thinking of the House. It's like, well thanks guys for voting for the first steaming pile of turd to put a D next to it's name. Don't question it. Don't take a look at the other guy. Vote for the one with the catchy name and the nice smile and all the money and leadership backing because that's the one who can win.

Well, look where it's got us...............FUCK THE ESTABLISHMENT!

stop voting for corporate hacks. And if you know the one you got now is part of the problem, well, the whole rest of the country is counting on you to help us get rid of the problem, however you guys gotta do it. You know, how hard would it be to try to recall some of these people? - even if only as a symbolic gesture?

1. Too bad they're the only ones who make it far enough to get elected.

2. George Carlin and Bill Hicks warned us of this as early as the 90s...

Hicks: "The puppet on the right supports my views. The puppet on the left doesn't support my views. Hey, it's the same guy holding both puppets...GO BACK TO SLEEP AMERICA!"

Carlin: "The elections are there to give you the ILLUSION of control."

3. Agreed!

They're supposed to be working for WE THE PEOPLE, not them, the corporations!

4. Except the SC said corporations are people.

Without the obligations of REAL people, of course.

5. You know, as a native Californian

When I hear the term 'steaming pile of turd with a D next to it's name' I think of DiFi.....

6. the only way non hacks can get elected is when we put our $$$ and our shoe leather on the line

to win elections for said non hacks

they have to go hat in hand to the corporations to afford the campaigns. if we don't throw ourselves into the breech what other choice do they have?

back in the days were there were strong unions, we paid for our representatives with our union dues, now we don't have workers groups to gather the big $$$$

so, just like we did for Obama, we have to flood the good guys with what ever we can spare. $10, $20, $50 and our time and sweat too.

and i can speak of sweat, try going door to door in Phoenix in the primaries.

just saying.......
