Hey, you spelled "moron" correctly! Good for you!

Kesha Rogers Congressional race is pretty darned interesting - she is calling for the immediate impeachment of O - and she's a Democrat - and an African American Woman. What do you call Kesha, Pitt - a 'racist, reactionary right winger'? I've met this exceptionally bright, high integrity candidate and she is part of the 'tip of the needle' - the small group of high integrity candidates who are beating the odds and will pop the bubble of corruption that our two party system manifests.

The fact we have people like beefeater above, the probable reinstating of the criminals who got us into this mess back in the drivers seat, and racist violence on the rise simply proves that fact half of the voters are idiots and morons.

It proves that corporate media is more powerful than critical thinking.

It proves wealth alone determines who goes into office.

It proves democracy can not result in anything but the lowest common denominator, and is no match greed.

Our democratic republic has failed and we are screwed.

Beefeater, that may well be the stupidest comment of the year to date. And let me draw the logical inference from what you've written: you did NOT vote for Obama because you ARE a racist. Right?

Thought so.

So much money, so little time. In four days the US will be deadlocked.
Tea Party, listen up. You are fighting against wealth creation and middle America. You want to abolish Social Security, Medicare (many of you are on both), and rid us of public education. Some how that will solve our debt problems. You are very misguided. Most people spend their Social Security and put money back into the economy. People on Medicare have little resources to pay for burgeoning health care costs and would be bankrupt, depriving society of the recipient's health and wealth. As for our need of education, here's the no-brainer: public investment in education = innovation = new industry = jobs = wealth creation.

If you really want to get your panties in a wad over something, go after the bloated, wasteful Pentagon.
There's some serious waste going on over there! Oh, and brush up on your spelling and actually read the constitution.

Dear Beefeater-the teabag cohort is being supported by the billionaire brothers Koch. Do you imagine that they are 'Christian',or spending their political contributions
(tax-deductible?) for the better good of YOU and YOURS, or the citizens of this country?
Jesus, in a towering fury, took a whip to the money-changers in the temple! He was executed for that action! in the political reality of that time, Judas had NOTHING to do with it. do you think the Romans or the Pharisees would have compromised with him(Jesus) about it?slapped his hands, or just give him a warning(well, since it was your first offense....)?
do you imagine that He was naiive enough to hope or believe that the powers-that-be would forget about him? NO!! He knew EXACTLY what the consequences would be!
If YOU think that the Koch brothers, and all the various others of their ilk, care about you and yours, or anyone else in this country, or the world, for that matter, beyond their business bottom line, then you ARE a moron, maybe even a cretin. It might be a toss-up.
The very essence of Christianity, as a life practice, is summarized in the two Great Commandments that he gave to his disciples, and therefore, to all apparent human beings. Your 'neighbor' is EVERY OTHER APPARENT HUMAN BEING ON THE PLANET-to say nothing about loving relationship to all the non-humans. If you are not becoming incandescent in the necessarily moment-to-moment practice of those gifts of Reality Wisdom that Jesus gave you, then YOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN. You are not even prechristian. You are not even fully human yet. Subhuman, with a lot more growing to do.
Jesus also said something to the effect that whatever you do to the least of these, my brethren(ALL apparent human beings), you do it to Me.in light of that statement,explain to yourself what could possibly be christian in what the brothers koch, et al are doing. i assert to you that Jesus would bring the whip.
So, what is your practice, whoever you are, or presume to be?

The striking difference between liberals and conservatives is that liberals believe, if change is inevitable, it can and should be managed. Conservatives try to deny change as long as possible, and generally stay rooted to the spot like an intellectual anchor until the storm sweeps in to drown everyone even remotely connected to them.

It's amusing they're using the "change" mantra too, since most of their ideas are more along the lines of building a bridge to the 19th century and calling regression "change."

Very well thought out and absolutely true.
Thank you 20:36 'zeus' forehead'

You forget to factor in the election fraud that got us Bush 2000 in the first place. There are not really as many crazies as election results would have us believe, but, as we all know, it's not who votes that counts--it's who counts the votes. Who will save us, if not ourselves?

I voted already and saved myself the suspense and agony of these stupid, expensive campaigns. It doesn't take that long to figure out who's better, where there's no choice except a protest write-in (Republicans or conservative judges running unopposed), or what issue elections (for example - marijuana - though I don't live in California - or money for schools and highways out of candy sale taxes) will make a positive difference if you vote for or against. Some refer to voting "while holding their nose" - I suppose I steeled myself internally while voting this time, just to spare myself the angst. Since so many Democrats are not up to what they should be, but certainly, there are critical enough issues on the platform, and through the opposition, where it will make a difference in the intricacies of my life in any number of years and my offspring. We have three problems: (1) Campaign finance reform which isn't going to happen because it would send the people who pass it out of office; (2) election fraud, especially via electronic voting, and (3) the stupidity and apathy and general sheephood of the American people. Still, I voted. In and of itself, it's a fairly a simple act with logical, mathematical results (if fraud is not happening). The tricky part is not being too attached, and steeling oneself so as not to be driven insane while participating. While the campaign literature pours into my box, I just toss it into the recycling bin, like another credit card offer, while noting who must spending a lot of money from corporations in order to get reeelected (since their election is killing more trees than anyone else's). Minimalism is key.

God! U.S. politics these days is as mad-dog crazy as any banana republic's. The rhetoric from the Right is unbelievable. But what's really unbelievable is that people like Bill o'Rights and Beefeater actually believe it.
You'll get the government you deserve, America! I hope you'll all be very happy with it. At least, with more loonies in Washington, the speed of your collapse can only escalate, and those of us in the rest of the world will be on the sidelines, cheering the decline and fall of your ludicrous, and fortunately for us all, shortlived, 'Empire'.
Buh-bye, have a nice day, and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way down!

Paul W - So are you a defender of O's policies? Tell me anything redeeming about any post appointment he's made - Monsanto people to run the FDA, criminal bankers to run the friggin' economy - Oh YEA - lets elect more like him!!!! I don't believe the 'right' or the 'left' - it is a fantasy distinction, they are mirror images - both are 'eat up' with centralized control and the conviction that local governments can't tax and spend in as focused a way as a massive bureaucracy a thousand miles away, owned by global corporations. It amazes me that you actually believe it... Bush stole the election in 2000 and 2004 (or it was stolen for him) - watch the same forensic group who proved that take apart this election - but for the other side. It was so obvious that Bush's election was rigged - unless you happened to be one of his supporters - I expect the same will be true this time, but it will be Dem's who will be blinded by their egos instead of the 'pubs.
