Our two political parties in D.C.bare just like the Harlem Globbetrotters and the Washington Generals. They are both owned by the same people. The mistake most make is that they believe we stand a chance or have a say in what happens. Recently they pushed too hard too fast and nakedly showed their goals with Rmoney. Then Obama looks better by comparison. The only problem is, he is one of them! Don't believe me, ask the victims of the BP oil spill! There never was 20 billion in a fund. Obama needed this off of his back before the mid-terms. Currently, the Judge is doing his best to shove every claim in a rigged "Class Action" settlement agreement written by BP. Meanwhile, Gulf seafood is dying.
As long as they do it incrementally, and keep us divided over B.S. issues, we will not get enough of the ignorant bastards off of their couches and away from Fox Noise and the other corporate media to get our government back! The only issue right now should be complete campaign finance reform. Until we have that, we have nothing but bad! DU should only focus it's efforts on this issue until it happens.
