Differences between parties? Well, maybe not a lot if you want you really want is revolution of the proletariat, as some here seem to seek, but some difference…. if there is a difference between Scalia and Ginsberg that is. Those who say there is no difference between the parties live in a parellel universe and should be handled with kid gloves.

Although my income is surely low in the audience represented here, I simply have no capacity, or gene, or whatever it takes to resent or envy or criticize the money that other people legally make. Until they make it by taking it from me under the threat of force…. can we think of any examples of this? Oh yeah, I don’t have to worry because I don’t make 250 grand. Forgot.

It’s one of the older stories out there, follow the money if you want to know who’s really making the decisions.

The uninterrupted continuity of how the financial industry has been treated by first the Bush Admin and then the Obama one to me makes it perfectly clear that the whole two party system is a sham when it comes to dealing with Wall Street.

Republican vs Democrat is puppet theater to distract the masses. Choose what’s in my right hand and I’ll give Wall Street whatever they want… or choose what’s in my left hand and I’ll give Wall Street whatever they want… hurry, and choose, it’s the most important choice we’ll ever let you make.

As long as the can keep the left and the right arguing among themselves the Kleptocracy can continue to funnel money from the masses into their own pockets (be they politician or bankster). Simple divide and conquer, and it’s still working like a charm.

I don’t think Obama has missed the opportunity to reign in Wall Street, I don’t think he (or McCain, or any other politician out there) has any intention of doing anything of the kind. Washington and Wall Street are the co-dependent parasites feeding off the populace, expecting one to discipline the other is as wishful thinking as the laughable “Wall Street will regulate itself nonsense we’ve been fed”.

Newsflash 1; this country has been broke since Reagan’s second term and has somewhat managed to continue anyway.

Newsflash 2; there is a heck of a lot of difference between wasting over a trillion on a unnecessary war and spending less than 100 billion per year on giving this country a modern health care system. We are talking about less than 20% of our absurdly overblown military budget.

Newflash 3; the stimulus has stopped the free fall and stabilized housing and car industry. It also has prevented the current great ressesion from following the disasterous path into depression that it was headed for. I know you don’t believe your own lying eyes, and it would somehow magically have occurred anyway without intervention. Classic neocon; never let facts get in the way of ideology and preconcieved conclusions.

Newsflash 4; the thing that makes Obama and his team smarter is that they build their actions on facts and historical experience, rather than just pulling them out of some ideologically distorted dumb a$$. So they have a much better chance of getting it right, than the previous neocon administration.

I have no problem with people pointing out problems with the Obama and the democrats, as long as they recognize that in our current democracy you need every single blue dog democrat independent and one GOPster in the senate to pass a new law. Any spoiled little brad stamping his feet and demanding that they do this or that, has to explain how they get to 60 senators, before he/she can be taken serious. All that BS about competence and action needs a specific outline of how you get around a GOP senator group who is united in their one and only goal of sinking the country so Obama wont get a second term.

Anybody who looks at bancrupcy reform and consumer protecition against credit card traps (and other abuse by banksters) can see that there is a difference between the two parties. If people are still saying that there is no difference, then they are simply shilling for those banksters on Wall Street.
