Selling us out
What's really left of the original intent and purposes of the founders
of these united states?
Liars, cheaters, frauds, reality show-offs, fear mongers, those with
nothing to really win, and everything to lose own the airwaves. Those
selected electeds go with the flow afraid to lose their livings and
potential earnings and expense accounts.
The real heroes are just trying to make it all work, with some aplomb,
humor and style, on a shoestring budget, and a small hope that things
will get better, although hoping that everything bad will end sooner
than later.
We hope for a cleansing. Nothing that will harm the true believers
in democracy. but something that will end the stupidity, ignorance,
fairy tale beliefs and endless minutes filled with blather.
We want a change. We want to take it all back, and this time better
than what was intended.

2. I love my Senators and my rep and my governor and my state legislators
in fact, I'm pleased as all get out with the job the legislature did this session. And not just with health care either.

As for the intent of the founders: it served only white male land owners.

3. "The real heroes are just trying to make it all work..."
....like a single Mom raising her three kids on a shoestring....like grandparents living on Social Security helping their children and grandchildren make it through these hard times....

....like a neighbor who works all day and half the night yet has time to help you whenever you ask....like a dear friend who never questions and needs no explanation....

"Liars, cheaters, frauds, reality show-offs, fear mongers..."

....this is not us, this is 'them'....we must put 'us' in power....

7. yeah, I'm still here.
soooo tired of all the tv ads...selling us this, that, and everything else we don't need,
don't want, can't afford and is truly useless to simple happiness.

if you're happy, you have a good therapist, a lot of money or good pot... or
maybe someone warm to wrap around at night.

kicking again coz what's left.

8. Our founders were radicals and revolutionaries of their times.
None of our current leaders can seem to free themselves from the status quo.

9. You might sound fed up but why don't you go after those so-called
Democrats who have no intention of supporting Barack Obama. They even voted against his policies, they even do not care about health care, Go check among the Democracts who voted against it.

All in all, this President inherited a boat load of shit and the so-callec democrats in his party are not supporting him. God bless America!

I was totally against the shit about Bin Laden, he was dead years ago!

10. So what's Plan B? 2012 is coming ... how about drafting Sen. Bernie Sanders ....
he can run on a Dem ticket --

We need two strong anti-war candidates --

how about Tom Hayden for VP?

Or name someone else -- there are tons of democrats outside of the

party we can run on the Dem ticket -- !!

12. Are you replying to my post?
And if so, please explain what your "Plan C" is --

and what it has to do with 2012 or Bernie Sanders?

Rather, it is VP Biden who has been calling on Israel to attack Iran!

Biden says, "Israel would be justified in attacking Iran!" --

Do you think that's Plan C?
