We all know wall-street owns washington. Nothing is going to change as long as we keep electing people who receive bribes from the rich.

It seems nobody even tries to vote for the folks who refuse to take corporate money. Too many people are scared we'll lose seats to the repubs. Well, so what. So the hell what as long as the dems are acting more like repubs than actual dems. NOTHING is gonna change until we MAKE it change. Starting with Obama.inc. and the current make-up of elected dems in congress. We make it known that all who have worked against the interests of the democratic base, especially in favor of special interests, they are done, they will not get one stinking vote. They need to understand in no uncertain terms that if they act against us in any way shape or form, they will be fired - period end of discussion.

But you see, they are not afraid of that because they know us. They know that no matter what people are going to vote them back in rather than take a loss of a dem held seat. Even though they act more like a repub than a dem they know it doesn't matter.

See, people are too scared at losing a battle to win the war. I guarantee you if the majority of dems refused to vote for corporate bribe taking dems or anybody else who serves corporate interests over people interests, and stuck to their guns on this issue, we'd have public ran universal health care, trade protections eliminating any benefit from off-shoring jobs, less unemployment, sensible price caps and other consumer protection regulations such as labeling of all GMO foods for example, alternative and renewable energy, no wars for profiteers, etc, etc, etc.

So until we come to grips that we may have to take it on the chin for a few rounds of elections we are not going to see any meaningful change. In my opinion it is vital that we boycott (blacklist) any and every elected dem who's represented special interests and let the chips fall where they may. It probably won't look pretty for a couple of elections, but, the fruit it will bare will be totally worth it in my opinion.

Or we can keep doing what we're doing and nothing will change.



Didn't feel like retyping what I think, so this is a repost from an earlier post I made.
