So you're supporting your CA-21 candidate with blind loyalty. randome Mar 2014 #12
THAT'S what you got out of that post? Le Taz Hot Mar 2014 #15
I like the way you think. n/t westerebus Mar 2014 #37
I've donated to Amanda Renteria. I'd look forward to her being in the House. NBachers Apr 2014 #147
I got the exact same thing. I don't see how one could not. cheapdate Apr 2014 #159
He's "weak" because of the R House treestar Mar 2014 #56
And in 08? quakerboy Apr 2014 #155
CA 21 is not like the others. Valadao reminds me of our Richard Pombo, who was tossed. NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #71
I didn't even know he was running again. Le Taz Hot Mar 2014 #75
I read of a recent poll putting him ahead of Renteria. Maybe he's learned a lesson. NYC_SKP Mar 2014 #77
"Our number 1 priority is to make Barack Obama a one term president" Maraya1969 Mar 2014 #137
Well, aren't you just the little internet bad-ass. Le Taz Hot Mar 2014 #139
Your posts make you look uninformed. eom Maraya1969 Apr 2014 #169
Must be in a time warp....I thought this was 2014 Ms. Toad Mar 2014 #14
Candidate/representative/politician/whatever. randome Mar 2014 #17
I agree. I care about who CAN get there, and who can get some things done versus Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #118
Obama is a candidate? ljm2002 Mar 2014 #129
Agree. Glitterati Mar 2014 #11
A well seasoned voter, posts a well thought out string of events Sheepshank Mar 2014 #97
ROFL! Hit home, I guess Glitterati Mar 2014 #103
That is not the gist of the post. ProSense Mar 2014 #13
Don't pout, ProSense, Le Taz Hot Mar 2014 #16
LOL! See your initial comment. ProSense Mar 2014 #19
You've no idea what I want. Le Taz Hot Mar 2014 #20
Yes, I do ProSense Mar 2014 #23
And then there's the rest of us who are wholly Le Taz Hot Mar 2014 #26
"Binary thinking"? ProSense Mar 2014 #28
yeah...I think Pro Sense is right there ^^^^^ Sheepshank Mar 2014 #62
Seriously, that's what you got from this post? gtar100 Mar 2014 #39
Yes, that's exactly what I got from this post Glitterati Mar 2014 #43
I think that's a rather narrow viewpoint on the Op. gtar100 Mar 2014 #141
No it isn't treestar Mar 2014 #53
Then don't. Support Demorats with your eyes wide open and well informed. Auntie Bush Mar 2014 #116

"... lack of Wall Street oversight is tantamount to economic malfeasance." Scuba Mar 2014 #5
I doubt anyone would disagree with that. randome Mar 2014 #6
I believe law enforcement works for the AG, who works at the pleasure of the President. Scuba Mar 2014 #22
And there is oversight treestar Mar 2014 #58
No, but ProSense Mar 2014 #10
The AG works for the President. Obama needs no outside authority to order the AG to enforce the law. Scuba Mar 2014 #24
Remember Glass-Steagall? ProSense Mar 2014 #27
Are you suggesting that no crimes were committed? Scuba Mar 2014 #30
No, and I provided links to several high-profile convictions. n/t ProSense Mar 2014 #31
What's your excuse for the criminals who were not prosecuted? Scuba Mar 2014 #32
Please reread my comment, unless you want me to repost it. n/t ProSense Mar 2014 #35
Please don't repost it; DU's storage is stressed enough! But I can't find in there any excuse ... Scuba Mar 2014 #40
I'm fairly certain ProSense Mar 2014 #42
Any excuse for not criminally prosecuting the laundering of drug money, or is that legal now? Scuba Mar 2014 #44
So you want to focus on the one case you posted where HSBC was fined? ProSense Mar 2014 #46
Are you saying that laundering drug money is legal now that Glass-Steagall has been repealed? Scuba Mar 2014 #50
Silliness. The company was convicted and fined. You posted the link. ProSense Mar 2014 #54
Convicted of CIVIL, not CRIMINAL charges, fined a fraction of their gains. Scuba Mar 2014 #64
Here's what ProSense Mar 2014 #69
So if some were prosecuted and some were not... randome Mar 2014 #36
Yes. Gave one of them cufflinks too. Scuba Mar 2014 #38
So your main complaint is that Obama hasn't prosecuted enough people. randome Mar 2014 #76
I haven't ignored the good he has done. I just want more of it, and less malfeasance. Scuba Mar 2014 #79
Got it. randome Mar 2014 #94
