208. Golden Raisin... I Came To THAT Conclusion Quite Some Time Ago..
I pictured them up there LAUGHING at all of us because "we just will NEVER know" IF OR WHAT they decided to listen to. We can call, write, petition, stand on our heads and spit wooden nickles and STILL YOU JUST DON'T know if your voice has been heard!

AND, even IF they hear the voices... THEY don't give a tinker's DAMN!

I know it's like a broken record for me, but I say it all the time to my husband and those around me... NOTHING is going to get their attention until there's a HUGE uprising! People say it doesn't work anymore, but I say... NOTHING IS working NOW so what's to lose??

They sit up there high and mighty and almost KNOW we are almost helpless to replace them... they HAVE the money, they HAVE the people who keep GIVING them money (the big guys) and they HAVE people who know more people who can GIVE THEM MORE MONEY!!

They SAY they will listen to us, they SAY call us with your concerns, they SAY they work FOR THE PEOPLE, but even when some of their own TRY to get WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT... THEY screw them over!

I wonder how long it's going to be before they "skewer" Grayson??

Trying to "kick them out" is MUCH HARDER than most here think!! I've been thinking for quite some time that I should become an Independent, but would have to give up my right to vote in a primary here. Now, that doesn't seem so important these days! I'm SURE I'm to the LEFT of what is being called Progressive, and I KNOW I'm to the left of Obama... so defection seems to be the only sane answer for the most part. At least I won't have to continually be put down and ignored by Democrats who I THOUGHT were standing up for us!!

My house is so silent these days because I can't STAND to listen to MSM spewing crap, and even those on "OUR" SIDE aren't having much affect either! Olberman, Maddow, etc. They ARE trying, but it AIN'T working! Even the guests they have on who truly mean well, actually know what will go down in the end!

I LOVE Howard Dean, but even he says Health Care MUST be passed and it seems it doesn't matter WHAT'S in it... JUST GET SOMETHING PASSED!

JMHO!
