Access To Democracy

After a short hiatus from the blog…

G.O.P. = Greed Over People

How many people dare to speak for “The American People” with a poll to boot?  Most of them on the right, and almost universally full of sh…

A rotten apple doesn’t fall far from the tree…Meet Liz Cheney

Barack - we don’t need a professor and lectures…remember Teddy Roosevelt?  Well, speak softly and carry a big stick…Please!!

Democracy = Majority vote.  Where the hell did “Reconcilaition” come from?

Figures don’t lie…but lobbyists and their money for phony ads do.

Tim Pawlenty claims that “God is in charge.”  Maybe that’s his problem…he’s waiting for God to undo his mess, but Tim is the one who was elected.

Tax cuts for the rich don’t grow jobs…programs to create jobs grow jobs.

John Boehner claims 58% of Americans oppose health care reform.  Really?  I think that too much time in the tanning booth affects the brain.

Did you ever notice that the Congresspeople who oppose health care have it?

Did you know that we the people pay 72% of the health care premiums for members of Congress.  Would you settle for that deal?

The economy is flat, but Anthem Blue Cross in CA wants to raise premiums by 39%.  What’s wrong with that picture?

What kind of democracy allows one Senator, and from a small state at that, to put a hold on legislation and Presidential appointments which affect 300 million people?

If we learned nothing else this past year, it’s that the Senate is ruled by old men who should have been out to pasture years ago.

What should the world’s leading democracy be able to provide for its people?  Well, for starters…health, safety and education — just like all those other industrialized countries provide for their citizens.

Now how’s that for catharsis?
