The Infestation of the Democratic Party

The article is specific to Wisconsin, but this is a national problem.


http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-infestation-of-democratic-party.html

It was brought to my attention today, that two long time Democratic party insiders are now working with an extreme right wing organization. John Jacobson( who worked for Mandela Barnes and helped others campaign) and Brandon Savage, (who has worked forvarious Democratic campaigns), have hung up their Democratic party badges and decided to throw in with a right wing organizatuon trying to destroy our schools amongst other things. The Organization is called Wisconsin Property Taxpayers Incorporated.

...

This comes on the heels of many of the former Democratic Party power structure quitting and heading to work for union busting, fake Democrat Chris Abele.

If the Democratic party is infested with people who are just check cashers and have no principles, there is no wonder that in a few short years we turned the state from blue to extremist red. How many others working in the party, for electeds or in campaigns would be so willing to run to the opposite side for a paycheck? Is there any vetting process in Democratic circles for hiring?

Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats.

Under President Obama, Democrats have lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats. That's some legacy.




If you haven't read the three-part thread by Admiral Loinpresser you need to do so. The future of our nation is at stake.

Misrepresentative

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=misrepresentative&defid=7963220

1. A congressmen or representative who say they represent their people but rather pursue self interests
2. An elected official who claims to believe one way but votes the opposite
3. A politician who holds office who lied to his constituents just to get their votes and contributions
4. A congressmen or representative who's campaign is paid for by a wealthy contributor(s) to fool the people that he is to represent into believing he has their best interests in mind when in fact he's doing the bidding of the wealthy contributor(s).
I voted for those dumbasses and they don't reflect my opinion at all. Instead of representatives they should be called misrepresentatives, he ain't no representative he's a misrepresentative.

"The wealthy Electric and Coal Corporations paid for your campaign congressman," said the lobbyist, "you need to vote against that bill, even though you and I know it would be in the best interest of the people in your district to breathe clean air."

Best free alternative to Norton Anti-Virus?

Using NAV, I've managed to keep my laptop "clean" since I bought it in 2008. I'm still using the original Windows Vista 6.0 (and am thankful that I never went to Windows 8).

Norton has run without causing any problems, and has done the job in terms of keeping me virus-free, in addition to a few other little doo-dads.

The last thread I could find on this topic was in early 2014 - http://www.democraticunderground.com/101683575

I'd appreciate any comments on the reviews in that thread and anything else that's relavent.

Thanks in advance!!

Donald Trump: "I have a permit to carry a gun. I keep it under my combover."


Rand Paul: "I'd like to talk about my tax plan, even though it is pretty much just a gift to rich people like everyone else's."


Income inequality is a big problem, and we'll solve it by cutting taxes and regulations on hedge funds.
