PISSES PEOPLE OFF! Wall Street Bought And Paid FOR Pols and candidates...

Obama in 2008 took more from Wall Street than any candidate in history!

Obama and Biden's intervention in PA's senate primary illustrates why the party needs a major revolt
How often do you see a Democratic sitting president and vice-president taking sides in a Democratic senate primary campaign? And against the progressive candidate who actually served in Congress in favor of the so-called "environmentalist" candidate who opposed the PA state Democratic party resolution to ban fracking?

You do when both the president and vice-president are a) fully in bed with Wall Street; b) their favored candidate's record consists primarily of shilling for fracking in her business life, winding up in fourth place in a gubernatorial primary, and being an adviser for Bill Clinton; and c) her experienced opponent (Joe Sestak) is a bona-fide progressive who the party establishment doesn't like.

I don't know about you, but I will not be sending a single penny or putting an ounce of effort to help any of the establishment candidates. Why should I? Why should you?
