just a bit of some Updates here...NOT picking on anyone, but merely trying to show whose crystal ball has been closer to accurate...
in Comment #47, the writer waxes Optimistic and sez...
*And BTW, the cuts in student loans are tiny and the cuts in healthcare are meaningless since in the next session they're likely going to totally redo Medicaire/Medicaid yet again.*
here we are in the next session of Congress, and has our Government addressed these Issues, or ANY of the others that were raised in this Thread?
ummmm....nope
but we did get a week for a failed "marriage amendment" and this week was the failed "flag burning amendment"
THAT is really showing how much the GOP majority and their Leadership cares about some Issues...their main concern remains getting re-elected rather than doing the Work of the People
more and more the objective Public Record detailing the actions and non-actions of the greedy pigfuckers running our Government, and their Lobbyist Masters show the pure hypocrisy of the peurile words spewed from their hired talking heads and spin meisters
every time you read/hear/examine ANY output from the WH or the rest of the GOP machine...compare it to the Facts at hand, observe which Stories get buried in the news cycle due to manipulation...count how many americans are called traitors or treasonous for disagreements with Admin Policy...then remember the Mantra of Rove...
distract,distort,deny and destroy
it's a heartbreaking, but facinating little mental Game that anybody can play...
and i just had to dredge this one up before the Election next week...
take a moment, read it all
then Compare it to what has happened over the course of this year
note, even in my wildest rantings, i had NO idea such a piece of shit as the Military Commissions Act could have EVER been signed into Law in the U.S.
and consider that with my pre-emptive Fear concerning the two appointments to SCOTUS
far worse than just the FISA shit alone, and before any of the apologists start in on "it couldn't happen to a citizen" let me lay a name on you to Google...
Jose Padilla
less than a week to go to see if some semblance of Sanity will stifle the decay with a healthy dose of sunshine and DC gridlock
but i'm still stockpiling canned goods and shotguns
