107. Time To Purge The Cowardly Sell Outs

Thu Nov 6, 2014, 03:31 AM

Nov 2014

I see lots of great candidates. We have two of the best here with Wyden and Merkley. But the Clintons and Obama and all the Joe Lieberman types have sold us out. We shouldn't tolerate opportunists or even fools.

"I feel bad for the people Democrats are supposed to represent, not the Democratic candidates. They remind me of the Iraqi Army - running when they should fight."
- Bill Maher

You are right about cowards but I'm sorry Obama is the biggest one. He's always capitulating to corporations and republicans. It's gotten so bad I thought he wasn't a spineless coward but actually one of them. The worst is his defense of NSA, the Drug War racket and torture... Even worse than putting all lobbyists in regulatory positions and secrecy.
