The "Shoulda Been the Keynote" Speech

Dennis
Kucinich

Ahh what could have been.

DCup Said:

I think the Party has bought into the corporate media bullshit that Americans are more conservative than they are. Because of this, Kucinich is not taken as seriously as he should be. Plus, he's not so owned by corporate interests and that's hardly popular in political circles.

Sigh.

To which I Respond

I much more than heartily agree.

When Barack "moves to the center," and "stands up to the far left of the party," by embracing and justifying Fascist-Nazi-Totalitarian bullshit like FISA, there's everything a person needs to know about how close to the abyss this party really is. I've been sending back every piece of mail asking for donations, letting them know just what I think.

Kucinich's claim to fame from his mayoral days was to refuse to sell the public utilities to make payments on public debt. He got crucified and kicked to the curb for many years. My brother in law (the one I respect) who grew up and lived in Ohio thinks DK is nuts. Public utilities should ALWAYS be exactly that: Public. -ly owned and operated.

Free markets are anything but. They legalize and promote, piracy and extortion. Corporations will cut the public's collective throat for peanuts. They live for deregulation and lawlessness.

I've been telling people for months if not years: If you want to see an example of the Neo-con wet dream, look at Iraq. Contractor immunity? Minimal corporate taxes? A disbanded civil service? Army? Police force? Gimme a fucking break.

The rational (liberal) mind looks at those issues as scandalous fuck-ups, when in the "neo-con reality" they are rousing success stories of the journey into democracy. And being water-boarded with single malt isn't torture.

Let's see what the Bubba Meister has to say. Listening now...

DNC... the Do Nothing (?) Committee? ???

Over at Betmo's other corner, there's a link to an article by Laura Flanders, praising the efforts of John Dean to rebuild the Democratic Party's infrastructure and organization... his Fifty State Strategy. As much as I like reading, and listening to, Laura Flanders, and as much as I do respect the vision and efforts of Dean, I could only read halfway through before I felt frustration build almost to rage.

About a month ago, I agreed to pledge $20 to the DNC. Chicken feed, I know, but still. You get on one fucking mail-list-for-sale, and pretty soon you got everybody crawling up your asshole looking for pennies. Even at the time I was reluctant. I had to first make sure the lady to whom I was talking didn't work for Rahm Emanuel -- he seems to nobless obligie or noblessie oblige or... he seems like a haughty fucking prick. Then I had to bitch about why the Party was so silent about Kucinich being blackballed by the media and shut out from debates, not the I got a totally satisfactory answer. Somehow, they finally got me to agree to the $20, although lemme tell me, I don't remember their first request, but it wasn't that fucking low. So...

I got a reminder notice the other day. Like I have an overdue library book; at least they have sense enough not to try charging me a late fee; for now. Oh and of course in the mean time they also sat back while Edwards got shunned like a hot-to-trot little Amish girl. So, before I consider parting with twenty of my hard earned, yet worthless, dollars, I would like to fucking know....

What the fuck do these people really fucking do? ??? I mean for ME? ??? and You too, ok. But seriously,

Are they delivering the BEST candidates?

Are they pushing the truly important issues?

Are they EVER going to do,
or say,
ANYTHING
about that criminal fuck stain's action? ???

What the fuck will my $20 dooooooo......???????? By someone a mouse pad? A mug for their pens and pencils? Some bulbs for their light box? I know... a calling card so they can make more calls for more money, to buy more phone time to make more calls to make more money, tobuymoretimetomakemorecallstomakemoremoney...........

I must have been left behind as a child, eh? In need of some edjuhkayshun? what...
ever.

In the meantime, here's a lesson on better things we can all do with pennies up our assholes



Thanks to Doug, Chancellor of the Sexchequer.
