They're just going to keep pushing the envelope. Unlike in decades past, no one is pushing back.

Look at Scott Walker cutting Medicaid without any public discussion. He's just going to do it because he can.

This thread is not to debate that. There are other threads up about that one.

Today the Supremes, UNANIMOUSLY (how are those Democratic appointments working out for ya?) told class actioners and women to go take a hike.

The repubicans are hell bent on cutting Social Security and Medicare. The Democrats are right there with 'em. Its all getting done behind closed doors.

This is just the tipity tip tip of that gigantic iceberg.

Meanwhile, we get to debate Weiner. There's your public hearings. All the rest gets done just because they feel like it. If its about a wanker tweeting his junk, we all get to be outraged. If its a matter of substance, no one seems to much give a shit. "They" just get to do it.












What the fuck? Huh? I mean really. What the fuck?

1. Yep, exactly, and not a peep from the M$M. nt

2. They do things like this because they're not scared

of the people. Or more accurately, they're BOSSES aren't scared of the people. The capitalists only make consessions when they're scared.

4. Why should they be scared? We have become

a silent nation. We have let Republicans and Democrats get away with crap.

7. EXACTLY my point...........

And they won't be scared of "polite" demonstrations either.

3. Is this about the SCOTUS or Wacko governers that may well be guaranteeing

President Obama a second term. Look at the states that have been considered swing states with whack-a-doodle governers. Wisconsin, Florida, Michigan...

5. Yep, I am only semi-old and am fucking blown away by

what Democratic Party supporters and some at DU are willing to accept and even snark their elders.

I feel really defeated by what are supposedly kindred spirits much less takeing on the opposition GOP. Too many Dems agree.

The Democratic Party voters are blind to the neo-liberals (that are short term Machivellian tactitions and not all that differnt from neoconservatives).

I don't really assign blame except for pols, justice system, and MIC psychopaths and a bought and filtered media.

The historians of the future will not treat early 21st Century USA kindly.

The heartbreak is that I was born and will die an American and achieved some success and saw corruption and "entitlement" (not entitlement paid by wage earners but by position and birth).

I also saw the good of the USA vision and subsequent action and the debasement by 21st century domestic and psychopathic fascists (really post 1980, Nixon was a liberal vis a vis POTUS Obama) as a class independent of party, neo-liberal and neo-conservatice.

6. People want to believe Nader said that the parties are exactly alike...

and that allows them to ignore the real point.

Namely that they are slightly different shades of the same red.
