Raising hell can WORK !

[Faryn Balyncd]

Summers can be a poster boy for how we can defeat the forces of darkness.


We're on a roll!






(As with foreign policy, President Obama is strengthened by a demanding, assertive base..... not by a base that is willing to accept results scripted by the RW.)

[gopiscrap]

1. YES! GO LEFT!!!!!!

[99th_Monkey]

2. I like the way you think

Let's keep it up!

Now can we 1/2 the NSA/CIA/Pentagon budgets,
free Bradley Manning and pardon Comrade Snowden?

[RC]

3. +10

Sounds good.

[rhett o rick]

4. We have to fight harder. And no third party. We need to kick the G-damn conservatives out

of our party. And we need to decide how we will defeat Ms. 1% Clinton. If she wins the middle class will die during her term.

[blue14u]

11. I am hoping the Benghazi

tape will keep rolling, and her.... "what difference does it make"

will turn most voters against her. She has other baggage also..

We can be sure it will all come out in the election if she runs..

I'm counting on it!

Elizabeth Warren for President 2016!!!

[Aerows]

14. I wish to god we had the choice of her

because she is a practical, sensible and educated woman. She's everything those men keep preaching about "keep costs under control, fill the budget, make sure everything is paid for" ... and she does it, and they have their balls fall off because she does and it means they have fewer toys to play with.

[blue14u]

15. Lis is a very intelligent woman..

She could run circles around them and they know it!

Her style is "tell it like it is plane, simple, and with grace and humility.

They should be scared of her.. She is brilliant and knows

her stuff..

Hill on the other had has way to much baggage.

If she is the candidate, I suspect we will see a very, VERY, nasty race..

One like never before..

[Aerows]

16. I love her

I like Janet Yellen to lead the Fed. I think she's very good, and we will see a nasty race if Elizabeth Warren runs. I think she can handle it, though.

[blue14u]

20. Oh I believe she

can handle it too!

From what I have seen so far...most definitely!!!

[Aerows]

17. I stole your sig

and don't feel the least bit bad about it

[rhett o rick]

22. My problem is that I think our election system is broken (or "fixed").

Doesnt mean I wont fight on. By the time we get to vote the choices are the ones ThePowersToBe want. It will probably be Clinton vs. Christie.

[yurbud]

24. the threat of going third party scares them remember what Perot did in 92

and to a lesser extent in 96.

And to an even lesser extent, the independent run of John Anderson in 1980.

[rhett o rick]

25. I respectfully disagree. The way I see it the Democratic Party machinery

have been co-opted by the PowersToBe. They love Third Party talk because they dont care if their Democrat wins or their Republican wins. Third Party makes it easier for them to get their candidate nominated.

What I believe scares them (ThePowersToBe) is talk of progressives taking control of the Party. Dont let the PTB get their candidate nominated. Support Sen Warren for president.

[yurbud]

26. I hope you are right. the trick is to get candidates who can't be bought or intimidated

or if we have a measure of success, people might stop paying attention and things will go south again.

[rhett o rick]

28. That's exactly what we must fight. If we cant get control of the DEmocratic Party

we are sunk. Sen Warren, Sen Wyden, and Rep Grayson are an encouraging change.

[starroute]

5. Then we need to turn it on the Trans-Pacific Partnership

That's the most immediate threat -- and the most potentially toxic.

[Union Scribe]

6. Yep!

Most people I bring it up to have never heard of it because of the cloak of secrecy it's being readied under, so it's going to take a LOT of fight. Maybe, just maybe though.

[Vanje]

9. You , gentle poster, are correct!

[Aerows]

12. Once again, Vanje get's it right.

You are so right, let's turn it on the TPP now!

We got on disastrous politician out of the way, let get a disastrous policy out of the way.

Warren says no on it, and that says no to me, too. (well, and I have an intellect and knowledge of history and law)

[LWolf]

21. +1,000,000 nt

[Vanje]

27. Yep. nt

[MannyGoldstein]

7. "Go out and make me do it."

OK.

[Vanje]

8. rec kick WHOOP! nt

[Half-Century Man]

10. Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war

Recognize the hand that feeds us is the hand holding us down by our collars. The 1% or the RW or the whatever will fold quickly, we severely outnumber them and they only have so many bullets. That and the main body of their forces will join their families and oppose the PTB. Our government was written as an opposition to monarchy and it's modern equivalent the capitalist/corporatist oligarchy.
At least the aristocracy of an monarchical system had some peer pressure to act responsibly (Noblesse Oblige). Our "aristocracy" sees caring for other humans as an inherent weakness to be crushed before it can infect their children. We owe them nothing but the scorn they invested in us with interest.


Listen, there in the distance.....is someone crying a word?

[Aerows]

13. Get rid of TPP

NO to TPP

Warren says it's a disaster, critical thinking says it's a disaster, let's work for that to be history, instead of a historical economic disaster for the US!

NO to TPP.

[TBF]

29. Yup - sent an email to my rep about that today.

That is our next battle.

[Aerows]

18. if there was ever a force

of financial darkness, Larry Summers is it.

He's even starting to look like a fat Emperor Palpatine, and probably the only lightning he conjures is out of his ass. Give him a year, he'll be grey and praying to keep down eggs.

[kentuck]

23. Are you saying...?

It is good to protest and complain about policies you do not agree with? What a novel concept!
