Hey DU,
Hope you enjoy today's cartoon.

1. You know, this is absolutely disgusting.

How anyone can think these people have the best interests of our country at heart is beyond my capacity for understanding.

3. Let's say the truth over 'n over: these corpofascists do not have...

the best interests of the United States nor the best interests of the world at heart, only those of their ultra-rich contributors, and, by ricochet, only their own.

Apparently, the truth is breaking out more and more each time a new poll gets published.

along with a handful of republicans (hagel, specter, snowe, a couple of others)
the rest (& lieberman) voted to filibuster.

9. Hmm

Good for the few GOPers that aren't complete fascist. Maybe someone should tell them to leave their party.
Snow, Specter, and Hagel. The ones that can sometimes earn my respect. Sununu came as a little of a surprise.
