134. Well, I agree with you regarding the Dems voting against their
interests. Actually against our interests. And now they are seeing the result of not standing up for the people. They have said so to the White House. They should have fought for the PO at least, an issue on which a majority of the American people would have supported them. Instead, they let the WH twist their arms to vote for Corporate AMerica.

But even though now they understand why people are angry at them, this has happened before. So what should we do? Give them another chance and then let them cave once again when the WH asks them to vote to privatize SS eg?

They have lost the trust of the people because they did not fight. I agree about marches, they don't work because they are ignored by the manipulated, corporate controlled media.

So, what is the answer? We can't keep doing the same thing, re-electing people who forget who elects them until the election rolls around again. We tried that in 2006 and 2008 and now we have a clear view of how it works, which we did need to see I suppose.

So, what strategy do they people have to combat our corporated-controlled government? How do we get people who represent Goldman Sachs like Bernanke and Geitherner and those who represent the MIC like Gates et al out of our government, when Democrats are the ones putting them in power?
