...I would really like to see a national strike, for at least 1 week. Show these f***ers who's really boss.

[roguevalley]

10. since people are broke or saving money in fear, its not like they are

out there shaking up the market with purchases. Strike would be good. Let them know they are wrong as hell.

8. They'll put Betsy back on to lie again. BTW, does her nose look weird to anyone else?

9. You know if the campaign finance rules were in-forced or hmmm

if the rules were changed so that if a member of Congress accepted funds from a company and then there was legislation introduced that affected the industry that that company was engaged in, that the member of congress had to recuse him/herself from any vote on that legislation. And if say both of the Senators had taken funds from that company or a lobbiest representing that industry that neither of them could vote. Of course then they would have to explain to the voters that had elected them and sent them to Washington DC why their state had no voice in the Senate on that legislation and how the payments from these lobbiest was more important that the job they were sent to do.

Hmmmm...you know there was a name we used to call people who sold them selves to the highest bidder....is the Senate and House populated by High Priced Hookers?
