(10,540 posts)elections with only government money. Why do we still have the filibuster rule unchanged? Corporate Democrats, most of them, answer to the same Facists rulers. Obama is not the leader of the free world, a cabal of corporate titans run this country and all 3 branches of government. We can complain of each new insult, each new issue and some not so new, but the root cause is that we allow for legalized bribery and extortion of our politicians. Cry all you want about how much better Democrats are than Republicans, but to a large extent it is not true. I am a Progressive in my views, but I refuse to go about with Rosé colored glasses on! I get tired of the new insults being dealt like Obama and the chained CPI, or Harry Reed saying he will fix the filibuster rule and then does not. They are not "spineless", just corrupt! I think people just do not want to face the fact that our country has been taken over by corporate power. I for one refuse to stick my head in the sand and pretend that we still have Representative government. Call me a conspiracy nut, whatever, just know this, until we have Complete Campaign Finance Reform we will keep scratching our heads at some of what they do, especially b/c they will be doing it to us, not for us!
