This Democrat thinks he can win in 2016 as the anti-Obama

This Democrat thinks he can win in 2016 as the anti-Obama

...the ex-governor surprised observers by announcing his interest in a possible run for president in 2016. He’s since visited Iowa, the kickoff caucus state, to rail against Obama’s “corporatist” health care law and to criticize Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic frontrunner in 2016, for voting to authorize the Iraq war when she was a New York senator...

...The left-leaning issues Schweitzer is most passionate about– single-payer health care, civil liberties, pulling troops out of Afghanistan – are areas where Obama has run into trouble with progressive activists...

...“Did you know that, just 300 miles north of here, did you know they offered universal health care 62 years ago?” he said. He praised Tommy Douglas, father of the country’s health program, who, he noted, was named in a TV poll the greatest Canadian in history – nine spots ahead of Wayne Gretzky.

Minutes later, the president used his own speech to declare, “I’m not in favor of a Canadian system, I’m not in favor of a British system, I’m not in favor of a French system. What we’ve said is, let’s find a uniquely American system.”

"If Edward Snowden is a criminal, then so are a lot of people that are working within the CIA and the NSA who have been spying illegally on American Citizens. They ought to grant Snowden Clemency."-- Fmr. Gov. Brian Schweitzer

at least Democrats like John F. Kerry are on the side of sovereignty and the working class...

ooops. John Kerry supports the TPP. Big time.

Forging a Pacific future Op-Ed October 18, 2013 By John F. Kerry

At a time when some Americans would like to pull back, it's important we work together globally to meet an array of challenges.

After three trips to Asia as secretary of State, I am more convinced than ever that, as a Pacific power, the United States must continue to forge a Pacific future....

...Stability and prosperity require more than security. A shared commitment to economic growth and innovation is part of why the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement is a cornerstone of the president's economic policy in Asia. This partnership will drive growth and create jobs across the Asia-Pacific region and the United States.

How about Regular Joe Biden, the Drug Warrior?

TPP on Biden’s agenda during visit next month

WASHINGTON – U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will travel to Japan, China and South Korea in the first week of December, to discuss the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and other top officials, the White House said Monday...

Biden is all in for a New World Order! People don't like to talk about that though, might be thought of as a "Conspiracy Theorist".

Toyota Is Going to Sell a Hydrogen Car Globally in 2015

Peter Z. Scheer Truthdig Posted on Jan 6, 2014

While competitor Honda has been tinkering with Fuel Cell Vehicles for ages without putting one up for sale, Toyota just announced that it’s going to commercialize the future of driving on a worldwide scale in just one year.



Like the Honda FCX Clarity, the Toyota Fuel Cell Vehicle (FCV) uses basic chemistry and high technology to turn compressed hydrogen and oxygen into electricity. The only waste product is water vapor. Toyota says its prototype has a range of 300 miles before it needs refueling, which takes less than five minutes.

Tesla founder Elon Musk recently said, “Fuel cell is so bullshit.” But the technology is actually quite promising. Electric cars such as those made by Tesla have been held back by the slow pace of innovation in battery technology. It typically takes electric cars hours to recharge, and range is limited. Musk’s Tesla has come up with numerous schemes to circumnavigate those problems, but fuel cell cars, which have their own power plants, don’t have such issues.

Here in Southern California, where Honda allows 200 Clarity cars to be leased a year, we already have a network of hydrogen refueling stations. It’s easy for drivers to wrap their minds around that concept, because it mirrors the fossil fuel network we already have. There’s no need to install special equipment in your garage or at work. And it allows private industry an opportunity to buy into the future....MORE

For those that say he's "Gun Friendly"...

So is Rachel Maddow! Sometimes she takes her crew to the gun range in Manhattan.

TV's top lefty gets her gun

She's America's leading lefty wonk, complete with chunky glasses, Ph.D., and a deep faith in activist government. But Rachel Maddow is also, a little unexpectedly, totally into guns. Which is how come she ended up at the Westside Pistol & Rifle Range in Manhattan for a recent Rolling Stone photo shoot. (Maddow is profiled by Ben Wallace-Wells in the current issue of the magazine.) "I used to bring my radio producers," she says in this clip. "Everyone here's really nice."

Here's what is being done

TPTB are trying to Fast Track the TPP



Look the Third Way D's don't even talk about Jobs unless it is to say they're gone for good and why not get a job selling insurance, because insurance is the Next Big Thing. That or flip burgers.

Our Bridges, Subways and Iphones are made in China. What did everyone expect when both parties said "Free Trade/Low Wages" and Globalism are the future?

About solarhydrocan

Is it possible to get fuel from water? Of course it is. Water is H2O. Split the hydrogen from the oxygen and you have hydrogen. Put it in tanks and voila- fuel. Watch it happen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3GDjVskYIs The main cost is electricity. But if Solar Panels power the electrolysis the only cost is the panels and the water.
