Starbuck CEO Howard Schultz is ready to talk – and no, it’s not about coffee beans or why the Sonics are playing in Oklahoma City these days and are called the Thunder. Jim Brunner at The Seattle Times reports:

As part of his highly-publicized campaign to end partisan gridlock in Washington, D.C., Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz will participate in what’s being billed as a “Conversation with America” next Tuesday.

The nationwide telephone Town Hall event is being organized by the nonprofit group No Labels, which describes itself as a citizen-led movement aimed at pressuring leaders to set aside partisan differences and focus on solving the nation’s problems.

1. I kinda feel like Howard Shultz can go fuck himself. n/t

2. No Labels is yet another Third Way/DLC group working with

the GOP.

3. Last year Bill Gates, Sr. proposed a tax initiative which targeted

the wealthy, feeling that people of his means should pay more and ease the burden on the rest of us.

If I recall correctly, Schultz opposed it, along with Bezos and Ballmer, and all the venture capitalists and Republicans in the state.

Schultz can fuck himself. I don't trust him.


Edit - spelling

4. They are all Republicans and Thrid Way DLC types

There was a similar group in 08, it is all about 'no labels' because their own identifications are becoming less popular. It is basically a way to try to get Republicans elected when the brand is in the gutter, like the Tea Party, but couched in the language of 'centrism'.

6. Joe Scarborough is a member...`

and they are full of it. Another right wing group who tries to pretend that both sides are doing what the teabaggers are doing.

The only ones who are causing a lot of friction between the parties are the republiCONS who are in reality the teabaggers.
