It's really not fair to say the corporations are buying the Government.

[Jackpine Radical]

They're only leasing it.

1. leasing it

with no security deposit, trashing it and then planning to leave it without giving notice..??

[leveymg]

2. There's some allowance for "normal wear and tear" at trade-in time.

[Winterblues]

3. They have owned it for decades, they are just now rubbing our noses in it..

:shrug:

[Scuba]

4. We're taking it back Nov 2nd!!! Vote, please vote.

[FiveGoodMen]

5. I'll vote.

But let's be clear: Who, exactly, do you think is taking it back in November?

The Democrats?

That's the group that's had majorities in the house and Senate for almost four years and had the White House for almost two.

So, who's taking what back from whom?

[Scuba]

6. We're going to take it back from the Corporatists who were given...

...the country by the Supreme Court.

Can you say "Constitutional Ammendment"? Undoing Citizens United of course.

[FiveGoodMen]

7. Here's what I'm getting at...

No matter who wins next month, I won't have any votes in the Senate or the House.

Neither will you unless you're actually one of the candidates.

We'll have to hope that the Democrats we're voting for will fairly and accurately represent us.

We'll have to hope that they care more about America and its average citizens -- the biological kind -- than they do about corporations and their money.

They haven't been acting like that so far.

What makes you think they'll see the light after November?

[Scuba]

8. If they don't, they'll see major opposition in the next primary.

9. The DLC and The New Democrats are corporatists Scuba n/t
