Aristocrats versus Plutocrats

Are aristocrats plutocrats? or, Are plutocrats aristocrats?

He's a loser

The senate may have passed a bill to re-start unemployment benefits, but Boehner has the ACE in his hand. He can do nothing and he wins. If his district is overwhelmingly to the right, he has nothing to lose because, like lemmings, they will follow him everywhere. There may be people in his district that are hurt by this, but so what? His re-election is assured. It doesn't matter. He will do nothing. He and the Tea Party ARE the do-nothing congress.

Wall Street

I just wish that our Justice department would work more closely with the New York State Attorney General and start putting some of these banksters behind bars. This is pathetic. Spending less on the streets of LA because the city has to spend more? Invest on Wall Street and you are sure to lose. The system is rigged with high frequency trading and the only ones who win control the switch.

Rummy

Rumsfeld has lost all credibility with the people of this nation. I cannot see where anyone other than far right wingnuts would take what he says into consideration for anything other than lying about going to war.

From Daily Kos:

February 2003, speaking on Iraq:

... it is not knowable if force will be used, but if it is to be used, it is not knowable how long that conflict would last. It could last, you know, six days, six weeks. I doubt six months.

March 2003, on weapons of mass destruction:
We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat.

Nothing surprises me coming out of red states

Why is it that these states want birth control to not be covered by insurance, abortions to not be covered, yet the man involved in this relationship gets his prescription covered for Viagra or Cialis? Does that seem fair? The woman is trying to not get pregnant by what she goes to family planning for while the man takes Viagra so he can last and last and last with his ego boosted to the maximum by maintaining a full and happy erection for hours.

I used to think this country was great, but we have come down so far to pettiness like this to make it a voting issue. The right needs to grow up and get into the world of reality and quit playing games with people's lives.
