Holy fuck . . . . does it ever get any better?

[Stinky The Clown]

Panetta from CIA to Defense.

Petrayus from Defense to CIA.

Meanwhile, Goldman continues to hold sway over the economy.

A repubican has been at Transportation since day one.

Vilsack keeps the subsidies flowing at Ag.

Interior still gives out subsidies, too.





When does it get better? When do we the people get our representation?

[taterguy]

1. At this point, we don't know

[Motown_Johnny]

2. The real problem is that this IS better, just not much better

[Rusticus Too]

3. "Change You Can Believe In!"

NOT!

[Pab Sungenis]

4. It gets a little better, just a little.

We will finally have a Democrat at Defense for the first time in 17 years. Other than that, not so much.

[Poboy]

5. Its all a sad, pathetic joke on us. They clearly believe they don't even need to pretend anymore.

They're just going through to motions because they know they'll get away with it.
We still put up with it. More pain for us on the way.

[Vinca]

6. We "the people" can't afford lobbyists.

[liberal N proud]

7. Bingo

[themadstork]

29. What would it look like if they did have lobbyists?

Would it be possible to create a system where citizens pay and choose a lobbyist who's directly accountable to them? Or is it the promise of corporate vacations in String-Bikini Land to congressmen that really constitutes a lobbyist's influence?

Basically what makes a lobbyist influential? Their actual work or the forces they represent?

[Admiral Loinpresser]

30. It would look like Europe. n/t

n/t

8. Where does Grover Norquist fit in as part of the problem?

Why is it that until recently, one never heard his name mentioned as part of the overall problem. Remember Each repub has to or is pressured to signing a "party" Pledge To America to Never raise taxes and Anything that may cause one dime more to be deducted is interpreted as a "tax increase".

[Township75]

9. Don't get too down and negative, because you are going to have to be positive and cheery in October

2012, and saying stuff like that just makes you look bad.

[nonperson]

10. Don't forget Bush appointee Leonhart named by Obama to head the DEA

I wonder why medical marijuana facilities are being raided again.

[Stinky The Clown]

11. And that GE guy as an economic advisor

And the beat goes on

[Wind Dancer]

25. .. and on!

I didn't vote for this kind of "change."

[Javaman]

12. We won't get representation as long as corporations are allowed to

out spend the citizens on political donations.

[Welibs]

13. It gets better when we stand up and demand representation.

We are too far away from the election right now but over the next year the country will be rising up and demanding accountability. I think the GOP already knows they aren't going to win the next election so they'll either try to steal it or buy it!

The right is working on disenfranchising voters and we have to put a stop to that before they succeed.

[AlabamaLibrul]

14. And at least back under * we had a moveon.org and a real, vocal left willing to tell the truth:

[socialist_n_TN]

27. MoveOn's still around..........

The Middle Tennessee Council did an action at Bank of America corporate in Nashville on April 18th. That was the 5th action/rally we've had here since February. We're actually getting MORE active.

[Autumn]

15. We need an advocate, or at least

a couple of people from Lobbyit.com. Unfortunately I am all out of change.

[uponit7771]

16. HOLY FUCK do bashers ever stop bitchin and start ground pounding for progressive congress people?

[Stinky The Clown]

17. Gee, I dunno, do they?

I never met an actual basher. Have you?

[Marrah_G]

22. Was someone saying something bad about the President again?

You should spank them.

[Chris_Texas]

18. They represent the people who actually hired them

And that's not you.

It really is like chess. You are a pawn. Pawns are expendible. They are there to sacrifice.

[Zorra]

19. We may need to emigrate to Bolivia for that. nt

[vssmith]

20. I wonder if getting Petraeus out of Afghanistan may make it easier to withdraw

[Octafish]

21. The republikon Leura Canary still works for the Department of Justice

She spearheaded the persecution of Gov. Don Siegelman for Karl Rove.

[Phoenix63]

23. It's like a shell game...

No matter how many times you move the shell it's still the same damn pea underneath.

[fascisthunter]

24. when Obama stops playing footsie with the right wing

[Bluebear]

32. +

[Ignis]

26. K&R with a side of ...

:puke:

[socialist_n_TN]

28. Does it ever get any better? I think not...........

It's pretty obvious that no matter WHAT the people think and want, we won't get any representation.

Revolution anyone?

[Rex]

31. Don't forget Arne and his War on Public Schools.
