291. "Batshit insane..." "Moonbeam McCrazypants..." Really...

And just who the fuck are you to be dissing one of maybe a couple dozen remaining members of congress -- and that's a generous guess -- who have managed to stay out of the same pockets that have bought and paid for the rest of the miserable swine?

The current crop of Democrats in both chambers can't be relied upon to support anything remotely progressive. Since most are wholly owned subsidiaries of the same businesses that fund the GOP, it's hardly surprising that they espouse the same corporate values, while working to undermine anything besides feel-good, band-aid approaches to serious and complex social malfunctions.

And these malfunctions are steadily destroying this country, polarizing rich and poor, bankrupting the treasury, justifying genocide through the phony war on terror, slowly strangling public education by chronic intentional underfunding, increasing mortality and chronic disability because of this predatory for-profit medical system ...

These days, only Kucinich acknowledges that virtually all systems that prop up the US are badly broken and need a major overhaul rather than a minor tuneup. All the blather from the rest of these corporate suck-ups about the wonderfulness of the American people and their entrepreneurial spirit and never say die and our leadership in the world and root root root for the home team, blah, blah, blah... that doesn't do shit except get some people to sit down, shut up and settle for more of the same.

I'm not remotely interested in behaving like a good little DLC lap doggie. Why are you?
