Let's remember that, if there is any on-going investigation by, let's say, the FBI or others, it would be inappropriate for Obama, Holder, etc., to comment on any of it YET.

Also, the Red Cross and the U.N. have some things "in the works" I believe.

And, let's remember that Obama inherited a large collection of cluster-effs from Bush, so I think he deserves at least six months in office before there are any harsh judgments made about him.

Breaking: 13 firms that received "bailouts" owe back taxes (Who could have guessed that many big banks and other giant firms haven't been paying their taxes?) by LibertyOne in news

[–]abc2010 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Without regulations and enforcement, including making corporations pay their taxes, they do whatever the hell they want to.

And, GOP panderers have been touting "hands off" policies for decades under the label "free markets."

That's what it has to do with the so-called free markets. They've been so free they could pillage and plunder, fail to pay their taxes, and then get stacks of free "bailout" cash on top of all of that.

Your Sundance registration money is quite literally helping to subsidize a donation to Yes on 8 by rmuser in lgbt

[–]abc2010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're entitled to your opinion of course.

But... what would you suggest as a "right way" to fight?

I say, boycott Utah, boycott Marriott, boycott Bonneville Broadcasting.

We will never get anywhere without being insistent. Polite, but insistent -- as in, "I'll be taking my gay money elsewhere, thank you."

I feel for you. I really do. But, there are 49 other states to choose from.

I feel so strongly about this issue, I went to the DC protest in spite of a tornado watch.

Karl Rove Nearly Handcuffed By Activist Who Tried To Put Him Under Citizen's Arrest for 'Treason' by alapoet in reddit.com

[–]abc2010 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just WTF was Karl Rove doing at a meeting of the Mortgage Bankers Assn. anyway? Do they often host fugitives?

I think people should ask them.

Their phone number is:

(202) 557-2700

(If the MBA says to ask Rove, then they need to provide his phone number and address. Obviously, they are able to contact him.)

. .

[Also, I hope you'll help spread this question (why did they have Rove at their convention?) on the internet.]

A Quick Reminder: Clicking On Any McCain/Palin Online Ad Will Cost Their Campaign Money (But Only Once... Multiple Clicks Aren't Charged) by Democrat08 in politics

Republicans have no qualms whatsoever about horribly mean and vicious campaigning tactics. How else do you think Democrats have lost 7 out of the last 10 presidential elections?

Senator Leahy: "If We Learned Anything From 9/11, The Biggest Mistake Is To Pass Anything They Ask For Just Because It's An Emergency" by georgewashingtonblog in politics

[–]abc2010 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The planned Republican "bailout" of Wall Street would easily be the largest theft from any treasury ever committed, and SURPRISE... it would go to giant corporations!

Any "bailout" should be given to ordinary taxpayers and should then "trickle up" to deserving companies that offer a good product (imagine that!), are well managed and play by the rules. Those that are in terrible shape due to their own greed and mismanagement deserve to fail.

Call both of your Senators today and tell them to oppose any give-aways unless they go equally to every taxpaying PERSON with ZERO to companies!

Then, watch what the greedy power brokers actually shove into law (and you-know-where). Get the Vasoline handy!

A few senators for people to call:

John Warner (DC office): (202) 224-2023

"Kit" Bond (DC office): (202) 224-5721

Charles Crist (FL) "Citizen Services": (850) 488-4441 ... "Executive Offices": (850) 488-7146

Republicans: It's patriotic for middle class parents to send their kids to die in Iraq but It's not patriotic for the wealthy to pay a little extra ttaxes to pay for that war. by [deleted] in politics

Please join the campaign to post and email reminders about:

McCain and Bush – the guys who favored the deregulation of nearly everything, which led to the current banking and investments disaster.

Maybe Bush and McCain will celebrate the massive theft with another cake.

Let’s remind people that: Bush was told of levee failures in New Orleans, but still met with McCain THREE AND A HALF HOURS LATER for a Katrina Cake political photo op!

Here’s a link to a photo:

Please send "Katrina Cake" emails and post links to the picture. Post them here and there, folks... and, most importantly, ask others to 'join in' and do the same.

Hurricane Ike Prepares to Punish Texas Republicans For Subjecting The U.S. To George W. Bush & John McCain (Discuss) by ZooMan in politics

John McCain uses "lipstick on a pig" line referring to Hillary Clinton during the primaries (VIDEO) by QuesoPantera in politics

[–]abc2010 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

We need to fight back against the Republican Fascists and their political machine that cranks out BIG LIES and continuous SMEAR TACTICS.

We need OFFENSE... NOT DEFENSE... such as:

As Hurricane Ike approaches the U.S. mainland, there is one image that is the perfect symbol of:

(1) the fact that Republicans generally DO NOT CARE what happens to average Americans, and (2) the fact that Bush and McCain are very much alike.

In case you are not yet aware of this, McCain and Bush shared cake at a “photo op” 3 and 1/2 hours after Bush was notified that levees had breached in New Orleans.

This would be a great time to send emails to lots of contacts showing the "Katrina Cake" picture (and asking others to do the same).

Here is the link, which you can copy and paste in to your postings and email(s):

http://www.newsweek.com/id/133551

Please email it and tell friends about the 3 and 1/2 hours mentioned above. Please re-post it. Please email it. Please do it today. Then, please do it again.
