Honestly, how mean spirited can they get? No. Nothing for the workers.

I think it was Nietsche who said “Without music life would be a mistake.”

Stella,
I have been following you blogs ever since I read your blog titled
” I blame Independents” at open Salon. Here I am again agreeing with you wholeheartedly
I was so jazzed when I voted for Obama and he actually won.
One of the few times I voted for someone who won the presidency.
I campaigned for McGovern and wasn’t old enough to vote, what a disaster that was.
Then Obama turns out to be just like all the rest.
I truly don’t know what I am going to do when my ballot comes in 2012.
I am considering voting Republican at the top of the ticket and Democratic all the way down.
I feel really disrespected I haven’t got any emails or calls from OFA asking for money. in 08 I gave him $130.00 of money I can’t/couldn’t afford. The 1st time I ever contributed to a political campaign. I guess I didn’t give enough to warrant asking again.
what are we going to do? Even if I sold my house it wouldn’t be enough to emigrate anywhere not even Canada.
I’ve done some checking most countries require you bring your own health insurance with you.

The bitter irony (for Dems) is that Republicans are probably getting lots of stuff they would never have gotten if McCain had been president. Extention of the Bush tax cuts, massive budget cuts – Democrats would have fought these things tooth and nail if they were in opposition. But now Obama is ushering them through Congress. He even passed a Republican healthcare reform – and none of them voted for it.

“This two-party system is killing our democracy.”

I would argue that the “two-party system”, being almost universal, is living proof that “democracy” doesn’t work. Everywhere you look you see a party on the “right” and another party more to the centre. The left doesn’t stand a chance under a profit-based economy. And neither does democracy.

Just a warning - not even a multi-party system will always produce a desirable situation. Good piece!

Can I cut, paste, and borrow that response for my own reply to the President? Because that is so made of win.

Because…seriously, you can’t claim to be my champion AND THEN DO NOTHING THAT COULD BE TERMED ‘CHAMPIONING’. It’s not championing unless you get off your ass AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY, not just when it’s convenient. You can’t leave it to the womenfolk when the other half of the population does not take them seriously to begin with.
