General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Holy crap! Bernie Sanders is recommending we start a WAR!!! [View all]Cliff Arnebeck
(305 posts)I went to D.C. for the launching of Public Campaign years ago. The only other visit I made was to Bernie Sanders' office, then in the House, to tell him he was my favorite member. At the time Bernie was speaking out about how intimidated members were by the broadcasters. Bernie has been speaking out against injustice ever since.
I have posted two threads recently advocating for civil counteraction against the war on democracy that Karl Rove launched in February 2000 by offering the U.S. Chamber a blank government check for their support for his candidate (G.W. Bush) in the Republican primary and general election. Rove promised that his candidate would deliver: "Everything business wants." Rove's old buddy Tom Donohue, took the check, provided unprecedented help to Rove, and received unprecedented favors from Rove in the form of wars, unregulated bubbles and bailouts yielding the greatest transfer of wealth in history from our middle class and our treasury to global financial elites.

"Stop Payment on Blank Check Karl Rove Wrote to U.S. Chamber of Commerce to buy the U.S. Presidency?"
In the another thread I exposed how I believe Karl Rove fixed the FBI's investigation of his theft of the 2004 Presidential election which enabled him to place John Roberts and Samuel Alito onto the U.S. Supreme Court to vote to gut 100 years of legal restrictions upon corporate domination of our politics. This enabled bailouts of the banks for the financial crisis they recklessly created, rather than for American homeowners, students, and borrowers those banks had systematically victimized in highly innovative forms of predatory casino capitalism.
