19. A wow kind of look at what's going on . ..
Edited on Tue Jan-19-10 12:12 PM by defendandprotect
I haven't absorbed all you are saying but in a quick scan, I shudder at the memory

of the selections by Obama -- Geithner, Summers, Emmanuel.

Your second link also shows Gingrich in a pose that I think quite suits his fascist leanings.

For forty years and more, Ralph Nader -- OOPS!! Can I freely use his name in a post here???? --

has been making clear the two party tyranny. Are we perpetually trapped in this downward spiral?

Is there a way out of it?

And I wholeheartedly agree that the WARS have to be stopped -- too many other evils are happening

behind the cover of those wars.

And JOBS creation -- ending the trade agreements -- and someone on Schultz last night was

pointing to this need. How can we possibly discuss JOBS without acknowledging the destruction

of these trade agreements? It's impossible.

Additionally, from what I've heard, Obama is going to create jobs thru a CORPORATE program!!

Trickle down jobs??? Bad idea -- very bad idea!

PLUS our unemployment rate is certainly NOT 10% -- it's at least 17.5% -- and probably more.

AND, from what I recall of job loss, that's been the figure for more than a decade.

Coming out of the Bush I years, it was at least that high.

Again, I have only quickly scanned your two links -- however, YES it should be the Republican

Party which is going down. Evidently only 20% of voters are now identifying as Republican.

So what's going on????

The new Repug governor of VA -- and here in NJ we have a new Repug governor -- Christie!!

How can that be. Americans have over the past decades certainly lived a "reality"

created by the right wing. How much of it is legitimate, I sincerely question.

For one -- let me point to the original terms upon which the MSM reported our elections ....

the reports were based on actual vote counts. It was the LARGE computers used by MSM which

began to come in during the mid-1960's which gave them the power to PREDICT and CALL elections.

That power was simply reversed in 2000 as Jon Ellis/Fox RECALLED Florida from Gore.


Thanks again for the links -- I'll try to get back to them.



PS: Just want to comment that the computers -- both the large ones used by MSM and the

individual voting computers used on election day -- began to come in during the mid-and-late-

1960's. Coincidentally, just about the time America was passing The Voting Rights Act.
