Rich and powerful democrats continue their threats

Journal by fustakrakich

*Never Warren*...

But, this is how it works, right? We don't dare seek out somebody that these "donors" or the Party don't approve of. Advocating that is bonkers!

I sincerely hope that nobody considers this an endorsement. I still want Oprah

    Bankers are given power by the people you elect. Your own naivete betrays you :-)

    Money talks.

    Until we take the money out of our political system, there will always be those who are swayed by it.

    You could kick out every member of the Federal and every state and local government in the US as you suggest, but that won't solve the problem. As long as it takes significant to large amounts of money to get elected, this will be an issue.

    Are you really that thick?

      Until we take the money out of our political system...

      You have to vote it out. There is no other way. Who else is gonna do it? You apparently have trouble comprehending the process and the chain of command. I'll forgive you for that :-)

      Riddle me this. If a corporations spends billions on a candidate and nobody votes for him, how does he occupy the office? The money doesn't put him there. Only the the votes can. The voters are responsible for seeking out a suitable candidate, not the party or the media. Are you beginning to understand, or is this still beyond your grasp?

        You live in a fantasy world of celluloid villains and no heroes.

        Learn something about marketing and advertising.

        You've once again shown yourself to be ignorant.

        Get a grip and a clue.

          Whatever, you're still trying to blame others for your own choices. That would make you technically *full of it*.

          Remember the twelve steps. I'll wait for you to take the first one.

            Maybe start with a clue.
