Obama's bait and switch
Submitted by mtdon on 15 February 2010 - 8:47am.a few points: Face it - Obomba has pulled the "bait-and-switch on us! The amounts of derivitives (phony money - basically a bet on a bet on a bet on whether a stock will go up or down) is around 500 trillion....the world economy is around 60 trillion.... The Elizabeth Warren sponsered Consumer Finance Protection Agency as written by the fascists in Congress-chief among them Chris Dodd-a democrat, will be an "independent" beyond the purview of the Congress, have unlimited funds and be non-auditable and appointed by the President - that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.......

Any time a democrat argues that the Green Party is bad for the democrats send
them to the wiki page on presidential elections....
the historical FACT is that most of the time 3rd parties run the party MOST
similar to the 3rd party wins....
directly opposite from the prevailing beliefs today.
I'd suggest we try to get people like david michael green to join and
support the Green Party.....

Two years ago, when the FBI was stymied by a band of armed robbers known as the "Scarecrow Bandits" that had robbed more than 20 Texas banks, it came up with a novel method of locating the thieves.
the fall of empire
Submitted by mtdon on 7 February 2010 - 12:22pm.reading a book on the fall of the roman empire and came across these nuggets:
"the eternal city was filled with the comings and goings of impotent men - senators, magistrates, bustling administrators of all kinds - performing meaningless duties. Augustus, while seizing all power, had wisely left in place all the trappings of democracy. The empty show that resulted only emphasized the more the importance of HOW things were done - since no one wanted to avert to the vanity of WHAT was being done"
Decided to check in again...
Submitted by sam on 25 January 2010 - 5:13pm.I guess there isn't anyone up dateing the web site since Obama was elected. I noticed the Banner that says IMPEACH BUSH\END THE WAR ! I think it should be updated to read... IMPEACH OBAMA\END THE WAR... I'm glad Bush is gone but Obama hasn't been an improvement at all. Sam,
The Max Baucus Sellout
Submitted by mtdon on 12 January 2010 - 10:53am.Max Baucus has once again proven to be fighting for the corporate interests in America over the interests of WE THE PEOPLE.
Max Baucus not only wouldn't allow single-payer advocates in the room - but he
wouldn't even allow Public Option" people in the room! And when you see the many
staff members that have revolved between his payroll and the payrolls of the
leading health insurance companies I think we can safely say that Baucus has
been doing the bidding of his true constituency - the corporate welfare queens
Montana Green Party
Submitted by mtdon on 4 January 2010 - 10:09am.NOW is the time to vote, volunteer and donate to the Green Party. The democrats have shown themselves to be no better than the republicans in their trickle-down, banker bailout, war profiteering ways. As many of us volunteered and donated to the Obama campaign we must now realize that the Obama Admin. is a complete disaster - and has completely sold us out to the highest bidder.
Audit the Federal Reserve!
Submitted by mtdon on 20 November 2009 - 9:50am.http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2009/11/20
Hip Hip hurrah!!!!!!!!!!!! Audit the Fed......maybe that will be the 1st step towards eliminating the Fed and actually gaining control of our monetary sytem and hence our currency and economy.
A monetary policy that doesn't create bubbles that the Fed cronies use to profit on the way up and the way down.
And a monetary policy that doesn't leave the vast majority of Americans deeply in debt with dropping wages and increased "structural insecurity in the labor market" as termed by Greenspan.
