Kabuki theater and the blue dogs [View All]

[nadinbrzezinski]

We have been played for fools

yes folks you read right, we have been played for fools...

So we have progressives who do the right thing... but they don't have the power.

And you know what? As far as the corporatist party, they will never have the power

The blue dogs are the ones behind giving a 25% aproval rating excuse of a dictator even more
dictatorial powers.

'Splain that one to me.

25% aproval, and the people are sick and tired of these abuses, but they pass this bill.

Yep, they tell us six months. They count on YOU not paying atteniton in six months

And you think all these levers of power are being put in place to be left to democrats? I mean small D democrats, not the corporatists in the DLC, who just assisted in the shreding of whatever remained of the US Constitution

Well as far as I am concered the leadership gets no bloody red cent from me. They don't get any volunter work... and perhaps they don't even get a vote.

I am sick and tired of their excuses.

And I am sick and tired of their bending over and kissing their ass good bye

Yes, there are possible explanations to this.

1.- The Bushies have the goods on them... and if they stray the scandals of insert rep here doing amoral thing here will explode all over, preferably somebody in the leadership. If this is the case, they are cowards. There are ways to deal with this and defuse this

2.- They are afraid of being blamed after the next attack... guess what? You will be blamed. That play is going to happen no matter what you do to apease the enemy

3.- They believe that what they are doing will win them the white house. Yeah right, tell me exactly why I should vote for cowards? And I have heard this from plenty of people who are now becoming independents...Oh I did this a while ago...

4.- We are keeping our powder dry... for what?

5.- We don't have the votes, my dying ass... they have the power but only if they CHOSE to exercise it.

6.- Or Ralph Nader and Noam Chomsky have been right all along, at least as far as the leadership of the party is concerned. Given they have the power we are screwed.

I know number six is not something very popular round these parts, but given the evidence... well Occam's razor applies... and that is a conclusion we must all consider.

After that, what do we do? Ok, ok I can hear it, but you don't understand how politics works... sure I do... and I hate to tell you this folks... the House and the Senate are a joke, and have surrendered a lot of their power. Now, we cannot say it is because the Republicans are in charge and we have no real power as a minority ('xcuse me while I return my dinner over that lame excuse). they have the power, and they have chosen to surrender, to a 25% something aproval rating quasi dictator, who even told us...

"It would be so much easier if this was a dictartorship as long as I was the dictator."

So what to do now? Accept the new corporatist state and live the best we can, as the final curtains on this Republic have come down? Or plan to do what the American people have not done since 1776? I hold no hope that rebelion is in the future... I hold no hope that the country will remain much beyond a simulacrum of what it once was.

As they say the final curtain has come down... and the long night has begun.

And what is more, we, our generation has failed.
