It's Not the Republicans Fault Cong. Democrats Are Bought & Paid For

[theFrankFactor]

The last thing we need to do is keep blaming Republicans for being Republicans. We need to make explicitly clear that we know what's happening within our own ranks. There is no excuse for this failure. It is SOP (standard operating procedure).

Try to tell me I'm wrong about the following with a straight face:

If the Republicans were in our position and wanted what we "claim" to want would they be the pathetic losers that we are? They would not! We would have single fucking payer!

The obvious reason we are in this position is because when exposed as they are now, the Congressional Democrats NEED Republicans to use as an excuse for caving in to their lobbyist masters. The Republicans ARE NOT OUR PROBLEM. WE ARE!

If you can't see this now you never will. We have everything, in principal, that we could possibly want except... willing Democrats!

There has been and will be no SERIOUS investigation of the malfeasance of the Bush administration for the reason I stated above, there is an understanding, a game. The Democrats have been established as the impeach me party, the fall guys. To seriously set this straight requires cleaning house in its entirety! It is imperative that Liberals see that it is not because of the kind, gentle nature of their Democratic representatives that people are being left to die without health care and in wars that never should have been. It's because the higher you go in the Democratic ranks the more corrupt and owned are the people involved.

Think about why third parties are violently railroaded. A third party would break the orchestrated dance between the Democrats and the Republicans. There is really one party at the very top of it all--The Unitary Corporate Party. We need to break our addiction to this perverted game and snap to! Before too long we may lose the Internet or at least its openness may be compromised (Comcast bought NBC!). We need to solidify our message, our platform and to uncover and invent ways to fight back. It has to come from OUR SIDE--out here--you and me!

It may take years but we have to stop being so short sighted and disengaged. America and the freedom we claim to want so bad is not a set-it-and-forget-it system. What would be a good effective start is to find a way to actually inject a little fear into the comfy world of our elected representatives. What would best do that? I don't know. The usual but magnified would be a good start (calls, letters, email) but boycotting and other coordinated efforts may be useful as well.

Please understand this is not a both-parties-are-the-same rant. They are based on very broad differences but those differences are inversely proportional to the power one wields in Congress. The high up, the less you and I and anything we think matters. It becomes all about the MONEY!

Once you begin to see this you will never listen to an American political news story the same way again. You will see right through to the black heart of the matter... corporate power!

Make your case against this thesis... PLEASE! I would actually like to be wrong.

2. Let's Apply This Thesis to the Climate Change Issue

What does it predict if we understand that the real players are corporations that stand to suffer the most from imposing climate rules? We would imagine that a Republican administration would do what Bush did... flat out turn his back. That doesn't surprise anyone.

But now we have an intelligent, well versed, well liked, first class communicator who, while not apparently all that Liberal, is none the less a Democrat. Democrats, as I understand them, care very deeply about the environment even above corporate profits. We are smart enough to know that, man made or not, man can, by modifying his activity, change the course of global warming.

So what change will we get from our new Democratic leader? How low are are expectations now lowered? Bush basically took a shit right in their faces so what must our new Democratic leader do to top that? What do you truly think should be expected?

A few weeks ago this place was a very, very different place. I think we've taken a turn for the better. Let's hope it continues!

5. Frank the idiots in DC broke Kayfabe this week

When Dean told the truth and the White House attacked him more publicly than they have either Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman.

Ben a huge Bush collaborater and Joe an actual traitor.
