A good number of the people in Congress have the intention of destroying our government from within. They make no bones about it. They really aren't destroying the government, though, they're destroying what's left of our representative democracy while feeding at the trough provided by the corporations. We'll always have the government; the only difference ill be that the corporations and intelligence agencies will run it without any input from us. Naked fascism is where we're headed

I think government is a tool, like a hammer. You can use a hammer to build with or you can use a hammer to destroy with. Whether government is good or bad depends on what you use it for and how well you use it. On the whole, it's a poor idea to put people in charge of government who don't believe in using it. I believe government should be used in order to form a more perfect Union, to establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.

EVERYBODY's begging. EVERYBODY has urgency. I can't deal with it all. It's an onslaught. An avalanche! But I think I'd make an exception for him! I've had to go to just a few - DCCC and DSCC, DGA (Governors Assn, not the Directors Guild, LOL), DLCC (Legislative - NOT anything to do with "Leadership Council"!!!!!!), Planned Parenthood and/or NARAL, and Emily's List. But I think this kid is worth some attention. We need to grow our own Tomorrow's Leaders Club. For all we know, this kid could be President in 20 - 30 years.

And if we donate to people like him they might have a chance to be one of those future leaders.

Reminiscent of the Charles Bronson movie, 'The evil that men do'. Those two sonofabitches are 1000 percent responsible for why America is like it is today. Oh yeah, throw in that worthless ass hat Gohmert too. You gotta grease the machine, ya know!

I just switched to another browser and could get your graphic...so it must be something screwed up with the Firefox update even though I used another Mozilla Browser to check. Can't figure out why it's only with your posts...though, because I can see all the other graphics posted here by people...and Video...etc.


Anyway...thanks for replying. I'll work it out...

Mon Aug 11, 2014, 07:04 AM
Aug 2014

Every once in a while there is a thread that resonates with me. This is one of them. It’s not to hate the Republican Party, or the sense of a Republic. It is the wide open range of disrespect and judicial failure we all witness with affirmation in the Republican one percent corporate dominated economic dictation.

“A Republic is a form of government in which power resides in the people, and the government is ruled by elected leaders that run according to law.”

My point is that word called “run”. The American people have been failed by a simple basic operating principle. The system needs “to run” to work for we the people. Otherwise it basically fails the Constitution.

What is worse, half the country, vote against their interest because they believe interim lies. These lies are not illegal to say or publish because it is free speech.

It is very visible in the Illinois political race for governor this type of politics is in progress.

The Republican candidate Bruce Rauner from my view is so rich yet so shallow and secret open to everyone with this shadow of wonder how he made his money.

I have no axe to grind against Rauner however this mystery in personal money making is just going to couple directly into secret type of profiteering we all had to endure with Cheney with his mercenaries, Halliburton, and worse the shadow government operations Snowden had to expose.

The government needs to work or run in order to administer the law. Every time the Republican Party person says they are or will force the Government shutdown is a direct intervention to suppress operating services, which is a form of sedition. Rauner in a political advertisement already said he would shut down the Illinois government if necessary to save money. Yikes…

The media is a big player in this understanding, the media’s complicity bias and corruption adds to the chaos frustration consequently crime that scales in weird ways because the American electorate is depending on the media for education and training for the American experiment to work in the best way however to get this knowledge in the expedient way. Swiftly, through news, and commentary, truthfully...the media fails to do that!

Today especially with political commercials, just think of the lies with regular commercials.
